Good morning, all!
We got several inches of snow during the night and up to 8" is expected, today. My roomie decided to start shoveling by 5:15! Better him than me as I am not managing very well, yet.
I have 2 clients expected this morning and then a color client at noon. I have been doing their hair long enough to know that they'd all come by dogsled if they had to!
My plan is to make a double batch of cranberry orange bread this afternoon, but a rest might be in order first. I'm really struggling with pain, this morning. I'm used to the usual areas of 'discomfort', but my right hip feels like it is on strike, this morning.
Oh well...I'll manage. I usually do, but doing hair is not as much fun as it used to be.
I'm wishing everyone a lovely day and a wonderful holiday!
Hugs...very gentle ones,
Chery

Do you have that recipe typed up here anywhere?
Snow sounds nice... don't know it is what you want but sounds nice and all holidayish.
We got rain last night for which I am thankful as we have been low on it lately.
I didn''t go to bed til late but then actually slept so that is always wonderful.
I have a few things I need to do today.... so that will be on my agenda.
I hope everyone is resting enough and not fretting.
I hope your cranberry bread is made soon because I would love some for breakfast...do you put nuts in yours? I love it with nuts!
You should start charging your clients "Cherry Hazard Pay"....the worse you feel, the bigger the charge for your services should be! I am very thankful that your roomy is shoveling for you though...that is too much for most of us! HUGS to you this morning my friend.
**********************************
I will check back in later after more people have posted. I hope you all have a decent Wednesday before tomorrow. I know most of us will be busy trying to get our homes in order and some of the preperations out of the way. I have a feeling we will be miserable by tonight and "on death's door" by Friday morning. My love and support all of you and....here is some duct tape to hold your bodies together!
ME>>>>>
I got a decent night sleep...fell asleep at like 7:30, woke up at 10, 11:47, 12:22, 2:48 and, I got up for the day at 3:30. The nice thing about all those wake ups???? I was able to get back to sleep between them. I was not staring at the t.v or the computer or my meds, trying to decide when I took my last dose.
Today, taking my son for his sport's physical and counseling, cleaning house and prep cooking, changing my bed and having a shower....of course, not all in that order. None-the-less, it will be a busy day.
HUGS and support to you my friends!
I'm struggling right now. I don't know what you would call last night, it wasn't really sleep. I just couldn't stay asleep but I couldn't really stay awake either. I was just in and out all night.
Joy was dragging and a little late getting out of here. Eric's already up but Victor's still sleeping. I've got spazms and shakes this morning and my typing's not so hot.
It's frosty and cold here this morning and there was enough moister to ice things up overnight. I had to warm Joys car and twist it around that broken down turd in my driveway. I hope they come get it out of here soon.
I still hurt bad this morning, I really never quit feeling bad, I hurt all night.
No school today so the boys will keep me hopping most likely, I hope I can handle it. Right now I really don't want to move.
Probably not a chance the boys will let me doze off today but if I get a chance I will.
Hopefully this will be a better day than yesterday,
Mike
I do the thing where I just go in and out of sleep all night.
I got desperate so I began taking Klonopin for sleep which also helps my pain some
I used to take it but it will make me zone out and not focus so I am having to tread softly there.
I was wondering if anything like that might help you?
It helps anxiety, sleep and pain..........
I'm irritated, this guy was going to come this morning and didn't show up until 2 and now has gone to town for a part. So the turd is still blocking my driveway.
I'm not feeling very well but Joy should be home soon to help with the kids. It's going to be a long day tomorrow so I really hope I can sleep tonight.
What kind of "part" is going to get that thing that is dead out in your driveway going again?
Mike, I am so sorry you are having all this... I hope ysou can just sleep so at least you will feel better
tomorrow.
The klonopin is creeping up on me. I can feel it. I won't be able to be able to take any tonight or I will have
too much in my system. It has a long half life.
Hugs for a better rest of the day.
I can handle just dark. It has been raining cats and dogs all day.
Will write more later if I can. It might be tomorrow. Mike, I am with you on the sleep thing. Benadryl might help.
Take care dear friends. TTYL

They just got that mess out of my driveway and drove over the hill. If that's as far as they make it, oh well. They're not my problem anymore.
I'm hurting and exausted, I feel like I can sleep so maybe it's my night.
I'm just going to lay back in my recliner and close my eyes and we'll see.
Good night everyone,
Mike
You did good.
Sleep tight.
Happy Thanksgiving to all those who are celebrating it. All my family is coming to town for my birthday Sunday, it will be so nice to see them without having to do the long drive first. Hope everyone is doing well. Mike, hope you get some sleep tonight. Cherry, glad to hear your family is doing most of the cooking - what on earth are creamed onions? I've never heard of them but love onions; please share.
Hugs and peace to all,
Lisa
