Good morning...mine started at 2:30! Isn't this the opposite of what the time change is supposed to do? I guess my brain didn't get the memo.
I've had a lot of extra stress to deal with during the past few days and it's really catching up to me. After my tenant yelled at me and demanded a ride in the afternoon yesterday, I called his probation officer and clued him in on the recent events. It was taken very seriously and the officer found my roomie wherever he was hanging out in the 'ville and had a 'stern' chat with him about boundaries in my home and business.
It was late afternoon when that happened and my roomie avoided me for the rest of the day and evening. I'm really on edge because now he knows that I've had contact with his PO. I don't know ho he's going to behave now that he knows his lies aren't going to cut it anymore.
I guess this explains why I was up at 2:30 with neck and shoulder spasms. Of course, this would have to be a long workday. Crap.....
I hope those of you who should be sleeping, are!

Do you have Legal Aid where you live? .......the only good lock is a deadbolt......do you have a secure area in your home for valuables? Sorry..to many questions..I just hate to see you with this added stress.
Have you talked to your boss about easing up on your scheduling because of your pain? ( yes......I know :-)
You can tell by my lack of spacing that I'm stresses FOR you......I can survive the night shift because I'm not required to do much in the day...........you've GOT to find a way out from under some of this, Cherry..
Me...well, I'm tired from talkin' to Cherry :-) :-) :-)
Best of possibilities to everyone........hugs...jc..
I hope your day goes better today and for you too JC
Cherry...I was finally getting some sleep when you woke up. I agree with JC about you roomie. Please be careful.
Hi JC and Steva! Have a great day.
As for me...ugh. Wednesday. Enough said for me. Didn't start too good. We overslept...my olderdaughter barley got ready in time for her ride, and my younger daughter is not going to be happy when she see's our dog actually did indeed eat her 4 pages of homework she worked so hard on last night. Wednesday. Ugh....
Follow that up with our 3 hrs of dance tonight and a small group church meeting after and it completes what a typical Wednesday is like for us. UGHHH LOL!!! Oh well..... 3 days till Friday!!
Hope everyone has a great day.

Just a short hello. Hubby's out working on our fence, the guys working on the back porch will be here soon. I need a shower something awful so I'm putting me first (well actually the Pack came first, all walked, fed and settled for a few hours:>}. Now, a few min. of me time. I tried all day yesterday to just shower and wash my hair but something sidetracked me ea. time I headed for the bath. Now its reached critical. LOL
I'll try to ck in later!!
it was sort of hectic around here this morning but I did manage to get everyone off on time.
I bumped up Victors dentist appointment for today so my nothing going on all week is shot. I thought I'd take him to the appointment then go out for lunch and then take him back to school. It should be cool, I don't get much one on one time with him.
My ears are still bugging me but not as bad today. My back seems to be back to abnormal so that's a little better to.
Today is the 4 week mark for not smoking. I did have an awful time last night, I was really wanting to choke everyone but I managed not to. Overall it's getting easier but there are still those moments that I just want to explode. I think about it alot when I'm hurting bad. Now that I think about it I must have really smoked alot when I was hurting bad. I'm trying to not substitute food or candy or gum or whatever but there are times that make me nuts and I feel like ripping my skin off I'm so tense and wanting one so bad.
It's dank outside this morning but it should be another good day. The grass is turning green and there's already some flowers blooming in the yard. It's supposed to be tapping the 80's for most of the week. I can't believe how easy we got off this winter. I'm know better than to think it's over though. I've seen snow in April around here before.
My sleep is really out of whack again. I slept for awhile yesterday afternoon and then was up about three times last night. I was dragging pretty bad trying to shove everyone out of here today.
I need to get cleaned up and out the door here soon. I hope the trip is easy on me today.
Have a great day everyone,
Mike
As far as I know I have nothing on my plate today. I'll get up soon and take a shower then see what kind of little project I can work on. I need to patch a couple of busted seems on bf's couch so that should be next on my list, not a big job.
Yesterday I actually ran into pain that the TENS would not touch. I had my grandson over, had cooked a nice supper and sat to eat with the family. When I got up, with the tens humming away, I could hardly walk. My lower back was in terrible pain and even cranking the TENS up didn't work. It wasn't nerve pain, it works great on that but the lower back stuff is different. Oh well it couldn't be too good to be true, at least it doesn't get that bad all the time. Kinda sucks that with all the medication and the tens I still have to take it easy and not do too much.... I want something that will let me do what I want, guess that is a pipe dream. Nerve pain relief will have to do for now.
Take care everyone, love and hugs

I can't type much so just wanted to say hello and that I will be back when I can.
Sorry I haven't been able to give support or return hugs....
or messages or respond.
I love you all.
Jan! Really?!? Have you talked to your boss about easing up on your hours!?! LOL, you are rockin the funny bones this morning. That is the second time you had me spittin out toast! HUGS to you my friend and I hope that you are able to have a decent day.
SteveA, whats up with that little puppy person on your avi? He/She is soooo cutie!
Autumn...uhhhh, you will probably have to call the teacher yourself to excuse your daughter from the four pages of canine consumed homework! Have a decent day my friend even though you are so crazy busy.
Nealy, ...I was wondering about that funky smell that was wafting my way! Please my friend, you must shower before the dogs take offense! I hope you enjoy your shower, get all sudsy clean and take some luscious YOU time.
Mike, you just had to have something do do, didn't you? I am glad that you are going to have some time with your son, and that you are feeling better. You are amazing!
SSL, happy Pi day?!? LOL, I have never heard of that-you dork. I have had the same problems with my back after cooking etc. That is deep muscle, ligament pain which the TENS does not help that much. The only thing you can do at that time is to rest, take some muscle relaxers if you have some. HUGS
ME>>> I feel much better than I did yesterday emotionally. I get so frustrated that I can't be in control of my life anymore--I know that this is what freaks me out the most. My pain is decent and my bed is warm. I am going to make a nice dinner, maybe some brownies or muffins and have a bath with bubbles at some point. HUGS to you my friends!!
It's a beautiful day with plenty of sunshine. It's suppose to get up to 62 degrees in Navajo Dam, NM and I love it. I took my meds and they are starting to work. I just want to give everyone that is not doing well a giant ((((((HUG))))))
