Good morning everyone!

I am with you Jan! Going to have a quiet day...well for part of the day anyway. I hope you feel better.

Going to enjoy my few hrs of quiet this morning. I am on a computer lesson in school now. Prob a good thing because I am sooo bad with computers. Having a hard time with it though. It is going to take a while to get through this unit. But because Medical Records are getting to be mostly electronic I have to learn the computer systems. UGH!

The girls are pretty busy the rest of the week. Younger one has dance the next 2 nights. Older one has singing and book club tonight and piano thursday and friday. Sometimes I feel like a taxi service. Luckly hubby helps because all the driving around gets to me after awhile as I am sure you guys know! My older daughter is 16 but is not ready to drive on her own yet. She is way to nervous. We are in no hurry!! I would rather drive around hurting than have her out on the road before she was ready.

Have a great day everyone. First daughter off to school....I have an hr before waking up 2nd daughter soo...I think I will go back to bed!!!

Autumn

Good Morning,

feeling rough today went swimming yesterday with my five year old niece and I am feeling it today, I think you use muscles swimming that is not used daily. I hope that I dont feel like this all day and it is one of those things that you just got to get up and walk it off. I can hope anyways I guess.

I did have a good time and the water is so soothing at the time. She did not have school yesterday and during the week there is not alot of kids I wish I had it in me to go there without her to just swim and sit in hot tub but I think I would feel weird without her. I did not see any women there my age by themselves there were some senior citizens in there working out as water therapy is good for the body

Hi jan, manny autumn...... and those to come,
I just want to say blessed be to all of you.

We are still moving slowly and yesterday I had to come home at 1 because I was hurting so much.
Hoping I can do more today.

I don't have alot of stuff because as you remember, I went through the flood of katrina and so lost alot...

so what has it been doing in those closets? Multiplying behind my back.
Naughty stuff.

Good morning my friends

Jancam, I hope you are able to find some comfort today and feel better.

Autumn, just remember---the computer is only a piece of electronics and it will steal your soul! I used to talk pretty to my computer in the am before I turned it on. I always thought that made it act better!

Manny, you can absolutely go swimming without her! Do it...what do you care? People always think what they want to anyway. How do you think I feel going in all my fluffy lovelyness, hunched over on my walker with by body the color of dayglo white? HEHEHEH, I figure I am giving people the opportunity to laugh!

ME>>>I am going to call my friend today as I neglected her yesterday. My little duck is on a spike so, things around here the last few days have been hard with her. She is pretty bad right now.
Anyway, today will be quiet except for her issues. My son has promised me a massage today with lotion for my birthday and, my mom sang me happy birthday this morning. No plans for tonight...end of the month ya know? However, already a perfect day and I am thankful. Now, I just gotta get little duck back to "normal".

Good morning all. Very busy days yesterday. Blood draw, errands, visit my Sis then my son for awhile. Then, went to meet w/ the two main officers of the Rescue Org. Sat in Shoney's for 2 hours and really enjoyed doing some planning and feeling a part of something. But was so tired last night. Hubby did a lot of the dog walking yesterday but I didn't desert him for puppy duty and timed it so I was here to help clean puppy room (we must do it at least 3x's a day now) and feed pups.

I'm posting some new pics today.

Autumn, good luck on your computer stuff. They intimidate me too. I'm bad about putting things off simply because new things (esp. technology) overwhelm me at times. I'm trying to push through.
Manny: Swimming and hot tub sounds wonderful!!!
Jan: I hope your day improves!!
Hugs to all!!!

Happy Birthday, Brandi! and Good Morning everyone,

I got about three hours last night. I guess I was wound up...Just couldn't get do much more than doze off-my mind was too busy.

I have to finish my Bible Study for today. I plan to come home and take a nap and then I have to go get my son and take him to the dentist. Yes, I know I do not have to...but times like these are the only chance I get to see him due to the volatable situation with my daughter.

After that, I have a function at my old church--a women's worship evening. I am always blessed so let's hope I do not fall asleep during the state of the union or it won't happen.....it is just up the street about nine blocks.

I wish everyone a great day. It is just a week or so away that we get to find out if we have six more weeks of winter. My joints say a storm is a comin.

And most of all, I hope that everyone's pain levels are down to an aceptable range...Have a good day all,

Big gentle hugs,

Melinda

Good morning everyone,

Not so smooth today, but I got everyone off for their days. I took some sleeping pills last night and slept 9 hours. Whooo Hoooo! The only drawback is I woke up hurting like hell and feeling hungover. I'm still trying to get the cobwebs out of my head.

We're having 12 new windows put in this week and 4 were done yesterday. They're comming back this morning. The weather is pretty mild this week and they should be able to replace all but one. One was damaged in delivery so it will be here next week. It should make a huge difference in our propane bill when it's all done. Now, I just have to hope Eric doesn't break any of the new ones.

I'm going to try to do a few things today, but not quite yet. I'm stuck in my recliner for now and moving doesn't seem like a very good idea just yet.

I kind of hurt my back yesterday and it's still hurting today and my knees are continuing to stab and ache.

I have a plan, but it's a loose one and I'm just going to take it as it comes and not sweat it too much. I don't want to damage myself any more if I can avoid it.

Have a great day everyone,

Mike

Hi everyone. I am having a reasonably quiet day. I thought I might go visit my sister today but my daughter wasn't up to it and I didn't want to go alone. My oldest daughter is having a bad day, she just moved into her own place after separating from her husband of 5 yrs. I wish I could be there to help her out but she's 2 hrs away. We've been emailing alot - cheaper for both of us than phone calls. It seems like all my kids are having some kind of life issues and I'm having a hard time to separate and not stress about it. They are my kids and I hate to see them struggle though I know it is perfectly normal and we all go through things in our life. I just need to learn how to support but not take it on personally. I don't know if its possible as a mother, for me anyway.

I hope everyone is doing ok today. Hugs and peace,
Lisa

hey everyone...sorry i cant type much...had a stressful day and pain has flared up a bit so guna go chill..just popped on to say hi...have a nice day hugs xxx

Hey All,

Sorry for the late check-in..........it's been a loooong day. Glad to be home.

Big Hugs,
David.

Hello i would have checked in earlier but it took me hours to think of a lame excuse.

Well, we got our cable lines run today and the phone lines will be put in wednesday. (next wed)
not tomorrow.

I called the movers and they are coming friday morning.

So Friday night we will sleep in our bed over there.

I am really tired, hurting but happy.

I'm almost always late checking in! I check on the room a few times and read the check ins but my arms don't move when I get up. That's my story and I'm sticking to it! LOL!

My arms have been in major flare up for awhile now. I try to answer most posts so I'm unable to address each person on the daily check in. Frustrating! Just know I'm thinking of each and every one of you. : )

(((((((((((((((((((((((((GROUP HUGS))))))))))))))))))))))))

Toni, I am glad you don't always push yourself.........I know you do mostly.

Of all places on here, we need to be able to be true to ourselves.

It is great to have people who understand.

With typing.............sometimes I can't at all.
Mostly I will some and then pay for it.

But I am learing to listen to my body and not push it.

Oh Paulina
I'm glad you are getting to move in.
So the movers are coming Friday morning? And you think you will be sleeping in your bed over there Friday night?
Well Last time I had a mover move me, they showed up at 9 am they didn't finish loading the truck until 10 pm. and it was only a 2 bedroom apartment! I move myself now lol

I do hope you have better luck.

Toni, that's a legitimate excuse! When i get up my ten thumbs will work but my brain doesn't.
