Lisa, is just a little past midnite but I am on my way....

My happy Thursday ended with a bit of a bummer....I scraped up against a flat bed on this man's parked old, old pickup. It exceeded the width of the pick up. Anyway, I brushed it because I didn't see it (bed of the druck) Did a lot more damange to my car than his. my poor van....anyway, not so sure we are going to report it as I already have a wreck from three years ago...

It could have been worse...cars can be fixed, people can't. I do not want to get cancelled by State Farm but will see what happens.

Bob is still sick but went to work. Still upset with my son but I would rather focus on more positive things like getting my hair done tomorrow and the fact that a friend and I are going painting tomorrow afternoon.

I will check back in after I am beautiful tomorrow afternoon. Everyone sleep well and more importantly rest well.

Love, hugs and support,

Melinda

hey guys...lisa thanks for checking in...hope you manage to get some sleep
melinda...sorry to hear what happened! main thing is youre ok...and im sure itll get sorted. Im glad that you are looking for the positive in things...take care

me-ive luckily got the morning off which is good cause Im exhausted. Managed to drop off in the late hours of the morning so being able to stay asleep til 9m was nice. I have uni later..in preparation for my 6 weeks teaching in school which starts on monday. Im dreading it. My head lecturer has been lovely and really understands the chronic pain and has given me allowances and so much support. I get extensions on my masters work and he wants me to call him each week while im at school to check im ok. What a nice guy!
This weekend Im just guna chill before monday..nothing exciting.

Hope youre all having low pain days and hope you have smiles on those faces =)

Good morning...started my day at 3:45. Considering that I knocked myself out with Trazadone by a little after 9:00, I got enough sleep.

Lisa, I hope you got back to sleep.

Melinda...don't you just hate those montrous vehicles that block your view? Be careful getting your hair done. I'm still in terrible pain from what hould have been a lovely experience on Wednesday!

Kate, my little cyber daughter....I don't know how you manage to be so cheerful and sweet to everyone with all you have on your plate.

I was hoping so much, to start today with some relief from this awful neck pain. It isn't better and it goes way beyond just the neck. At least I got a long overdue haircut...just didn't need an injury in the process! Feels like another rough day. Oh...and it's raining, too.

Love and hugs...xoxo

Good morning!! FRIDAY!!!!! WOOOHOOO!!!! (can you tell I had a looooong week!! LOL!)
Lisa...I sure hope you get some sleep.
Melinda...that stinks about your car...but Like Kate said at least your ok!
Kate....you are so cute and cheerful!! Good luck with the teaching!
Cherry ughhh no relief yet??? soo sorry

Well...I am hopefully going to have a quiet day. Hubby is making me sheppards pie for dinner (mine and the girls favorite meal that he makes) We did end up buying our 16yr old the car we looked at. She was soo shocked. And happy/grateful!! She deserves it though....such a great kid. I think my younger daughter is just as excited! Ugh my girls are growing up WAY too fast.

Thank you for the kind words about hubbys upcoming surgery. As always your guys help and support carries me through so much. Your the best!!!
Happy friday everyone,
Autumn

Good morning all you lovely ladies.

I hope you get caught up on your sleep Lisa it does a world of good.

Sorry about the little fender bender, Melinda , Why can't those large trucks pick on some one their own size?

Sounds like you are doing so well in school, proud of you. Keep at it, Teacher

Man, Cherry really had to give one for the team for that hair cut. I hope you feel much better soon.

Happy birthday Autumn, I hope your day is quiet and peaceful or the way you like it! Enjoy your Friday birthday!

Had a good day yesterday got more done in a day than I have in a month a little sleep helps.

Oh Lindy, how upsetting. I barely tapped my friend's Subaru (it was parked in our drive off to the side and I was distracted, as usual) and it cost over $1,800 so our ins. went up for 3 yrs. It wouldn't have gone over the 18,000 if she hadn't insisted on a rental car for the wk her car was in the shop. UGH She doesn't go out much and only drove it a couple times. But the friendship is more important to me than $$$$ so I sucked it up. After all, I did hit her car.

The good thing is that no one was hurt, you're ok and no one's hollering "whiplash" LOL

Autumn, enjoy "your" day!! Sounds like you have lovely plans. Your husband cooks???? An unknown concept to me. LOL

Cherry: so glad you got some sleep but sorry your neck is still a mess!!

Kate: enjoy your morning dear. Perhaps you'll be so inspired by the kids that the 6 wks will fly by and your pain will be less, I sure hope so.

Lisa: do get that snooze in!! Sleep makes such a difference

Steva: So happy you had a good day!! When I go w/out one for an extended time, I get so down. But one good day can really pick me up again!!

As for my neck of the woods: Spent a bit of time w/ my son yesterday and like Steva, got more done than I have in awhile. The pups took a lot of time and energy. Alas, they used up all my spoons most days. Now, I have one or two to spare.
Our little Cord pup is doing so good!! We let him sleep w/ the big dogs last night instead of the "puppy corral". He slept all night and I don't think he had any accidents. Whoo Hoo!!
Its lovely and sunny here today but supposed to rain all weekend. So I'm going to cook a pot of soup and try to do more cleaning!!
Hugs to all!!!!!

Hi everyone, I'm back. Got enough sleep after checking in. It was hard to wake up but with my alarm going at 8 then again at 9 I was forced. I could have slept longer but its just as well I didn't. I have to drive Noah to daycare today since I have to work this afternoon. Its my cousin's home daycare so I know he's well looked after there and he loves her son who is only 6 months older, they're best buds. I'll pick him up after work at 4 and keep him for an hour or so. Hopefully I'm not in too much pain but that's not likely after 3 hrs in the office. I am dreading next week... the thought of 4 hours just seems like such a long time to be trapped at the office - I can't imagine making it that long but we'll see next week I guess.

*Melinda sorry to hear about your scrape, glad you are ok though.
+Kate how awesome to have an instructor that cares so much and understand. have a relaxing weekend.
=Cherry I hope the haircut was worth the pain. That's a shame that something most people do to pamper themselves turns out to be torture for you instead. Feel better soon.
>Autumn your daughter is a very lucky girl, I hope she appreciates the car and takes care of it. Hope you and hubby are both doing well today - happy birthday to you!
~Steva congrats, isn't it great to feel productive.

Have a great day everyone and enjoy your weekend. Try to relax and do something special for yourself... and get some sleep. Hugs and peace,
ssLisa

HUGS

Sorry, guys...I'm not able to sit.....yes, I said sit....how dumb is that...
Or type well today.
Have read as usual all posts and wishing all well.
Hugs.....jc..

Hello everyone.

Most of you know when I get down either physically or otherwise, I tend to hide in my turtle shell. Well, got some heavy, heavy stuff I am dealing with at home and I just cannot be supportive, happy, jokey, etc. So I am tucking myself into my shell until I can see a way thru. I love each and everyone of you and I will think of you often. I will come on and read some but I won't be talking, not trying to be rude, just don't have much good to say right now. If someone desperately needs me, message me, I will come out long enough to respond. I hope to find my way soon.

Thanks for understanding.

Tonna

I don't usually say TGIF but I am for everyone here. This sounds like one of the busiest days yet. I hope everyone can have a restful yet some fun in their weekend.

Melinda sorry for the bang up. I hope you don't feel any aches and pains later from this.

I'm with most of you and didn't sleep worth crap last night. I think I need a bed that rotates me so I don't have to flip flop myself every 2 minutes! Hopefully tonight we all sleep like babies.

Oh yeah I changed my advatar so all of you can be in it! teehee!

Jan lots of us can't sit for very long or type this isn't dumb! Hugs! I have a laptop though so I can recline!

Hugs to my fellow barrell of monkeys

@Jan - its true alot of us can't sit for long. That's one of the biggest reasons I'm on disability right now.I work an office job and can't sit in a chair for more than 30 minutes - and that's pushing it. I too have a laptop so i can get online anytime while reclining in my recliner or laying on the couch or bed. I'd be lost if I couldn't come on here and check on my friends. Take care
