Good morning all, I can't believe I'm the first one here this morning. I'm up way too early for me but my sister is showing up in about 10 minutes. She has her court date today to finalize the adoption; big day! She had to catch a ride with our other sister so she'll be here all day which means I won't get another chance to check in.
I'm very disappointed that I missed the chat yesterday it just turned out to be a very busy day. Last evening was bf's kids' parent/teacher meetings and I went with because it overlapped with his dd's basketball practice, confusing and busy evening.
With my TENS unit on I was able to actually do quite a few little jobs yesterday that I have been putting off. But I learned a lesson. I was on my feet alot and sitting to do some sewing then by late afternoon the battery went dead and the spare was dead too so I had to go without it. The effects of all the work I did hit me like a ton of bricks and I was flat out in bed until the battery charged enough to use. Oh well, live and learn. I'll take it a bit easier today since I'll have company all day.
Ok I better run and put the coffee on. Have a great day everyone, big gentle hugs

Lisa so glad you have your tens! Hope it helps!!
Well this has been such a busy week....leading into a very busy weekend. Tonight hubby and I are working our younger daughters school carnival. She is having a couple friends sleep over tonight..going to be a late night!! Tomorrow she has a PJ party/lock in for the competative dancers at her studio. Sunday is the first competition run through so they want to let the girls have some fun before crazy competition time starts. They are having the parents do a road rally during the lock in. Hubby and I have never done one before, so it should be interesting. We are going with our neighbors who we are really close to, so that helps! Then on Sunday it is my dad's b-day and then dance the rest of the day. Yikes....Definately no down time for me until maybe next week some time.
Sooo disapointed I missed the chat. Hopefully I can make the next one. Have a great Friday everyone!!
Autumn
Lisa>>>YAY! for the TENS unit! Enjoy!
Autumn>>>WOW! That is busy! What is a road rally?
ME>>>been in a fatigue crunch, just cannot pull out yet. Hoping to soon. Love you guys! Enjoyed the chat. Sorry I couldn't stay long.
Sending hugs, love, and comfort,
Tonna
I still feel tired today which is normal after a treatment. I t usually takes a day to rest and I feel better. So, even though there is laundry to do, I'm postponing it. (I'm getting really good at postponing things now, LOL).
But my spirits are good. Cheerful.
I wish everyone a good day today!

I'm not doing to well, my back's been really bad since Wednesday night and I'm in alot of pain. It feels like I was ripped in half and jammed back together. It's just been non stop.
I've really had trouble getting out of bed in the mornings. I used to be so good about getting up but for the last month or so, I've had a real hard time and I've been sleeping right through the alarms in the mornings.
I think I feel better as far as the ear and sinus infections but my back is making me nuts. I don't have much planned today but I do have to run to town this afternoon. Other than that, my day's wide open.
It's mom and son date night at the school tonight so I'll have the place to myself most of the day and most of the night too. I'm kind of looking forward to it and I may just sleep while everyone's gone.
I guess I'm just feeling bad today and wondering if I'll ever feel good again. I'm so tired of suffering with one thing or the other, I need a break.
Whaa whaa,
Anyway have a good Friday,
Mike
Lisa...hope you figure out how to keep that thing charged, as it helps you so much..I understand that over-doing because you can thing...be careful...
Autumn...I just don't know how you do it....but kudos for you....
To NA....give yourself time to recover from the added stress on your mind and body.....
A a.....I have to schedule everything, too or forget it..
Mike......well, he'll*....you ought a feel run down with all you've dealt with lately...hope your world stays calm enough for you to relax and recover....
I.....am doin amazingly well due to prednisone.....still getting pretty intense headach a couple of hours a day....but it is sooooo worth it.........I've been moving around more in the last four five days than I have in years!!!! Unfortunately have a vit of a respiratory thing going on at the moment....maybe the universes WY of saying slow down.....baby steps before I really hurt myself....
I am wishing for everyone the best weekend their circumstances will allow....
And some moments of hope......
Hugs to all.....jc
BTW....thanks for the chat, Ducky and Toni....barely made the last one due to visiting family...but, what fun....and looking forward to the next...
I've been up since 4:00, but just getting around to checking in. My pain level has been right up there on the stupid chart since I opened my eyes. Not sure what has me so riled so I won't try to figure it out.
Stress and worry...I'm trying to figure out a plan to get me through this miserable time in my life. Problem is, when I hurt so much, I can't think!
Thankfully, I only booked two clients today and I've already done one of them! Tomorrow may finish me off, though. I'm so tired of the same battle every day. There has to be a better way to survive.
4Solace JC is right you must give yourself time. I love what you shared about your grandmother.
JC I do believe the little bug is trying to tell you to slow down. It is hard to do when you feel better but it is also hard on your body to go from 1st gear right into 4th skipping a few gears. Slow it down girl!
Mike sounds like you are gonna gather some dust today. Good idea. Your body needs the rest.
Cherry I do know about the pain and how it is hard to think when it is bad. Maybe when you first wake up and have a coffee you can make a few plans. I am afraid to ask how many clients you have tomorrow.
Lisa it sounds like you have found a miracle in the Tens Unit. I hope it continues. Keep those batteries charged.
Ama I like what you said about postponing. I learned that one a couple of years ago. My body thanks me for it
occasionally. There is a balance and I am still trying to find mine. It seems you have found yours.
Me...I drove yesterday for the first time in ages. It was so freeing and felt so right. Aside from my neck pain I feel like I am getting the "old me" back.
Love and peace
hippy
I so hope you all have a restful, less pain, happy weekend!!!!
Toni
I hope you all have a pleasant evening and all is well.
Have a good weekend and remember spring ahead with the clocks 2 am Sunday losing another hour of sleep, that's all we need.
