Your weekend sounds busy and wonderful all in one. Lovely to be with family. I hope you have something fun for today going on.
Toni, all I can say is eat pears. Oh wait, um no. That's for number twos. Water yep. Get that water going and any other liquid possible. I'll drink water in sympathy with you. (I am terrible at drinking water).
Serenity, I have fond memories of New York pizza. I hope you get to enjoy some. Plus create lots of small moments to then become memories later. Such a great city to people watch too.
Moonie, if I was visiting you right now I would love to learn how to do all sorts of crafts from you. Absolute fun and would be best girls day ever. All invited.
Erika - gotta say I would feel exactly the same way as you. If you want time out then people need to respect that. Some seriously hard stuff you are going through and getting through. I might not be a huge sport fan but just saying....a footy game can be amazing therapy too....in my book.
Everyone I have missed - yes I am missing ya. I hope everyone is just chillin and enjoying the special moments that pop by.
I am off to the blanket show. Up early for a big day that I don't really want to do. But hey it is a short work week so no complaining. Just doin it.
Oh hey did I tell anyone I am almost Gabapentin free! Next month is going to be a big test to see if I can stop it for good. Has taken me 3 years to ween myself down to this point. I am almost there. Eek! Watch this space.
Nighty nite all
Musk you sure got up early! I hope all goes well at your apt today, wish they'd find a way to get rid of those migraines. Nice plans for the weekend, always good to hear how close your family is :)
LOL Nessa...I usually need THAT too! or is that two hehe. Hey great news on the Gaba! I never could stand the stuff.....might have made me a bit squirrelly ;). There are other things to try if it isn't helping, so well worth the effort of stopping!!! Now off to sleep youngun' :)
Minnie I'm looking forward to seeing your painting when it's done, but no rushing for us ;). Yeah Musk will have to show us a couple of her paintings too. What a roomful of creative people!!! Hugs back at you (())
Erika you know more than anyone what makes you comfortable and what doesn't. Quit group if you want to, if you feel at a later date you want to re-join you know where it is. I'd make that real plain to them and step away from it. This Ninja Sister is here to protect and love you and willing to kick ass if need be!
I got a call this morning that my "collection" apt was tomorrow, huh? I have the apt paper right here, but I talked them into letting me take it in today. I drank so much water yesterday I was drowning! The dam finally broke last night and I felt better! Also I had two days to go in and they're going to let me do it in one...relief :).
Took awhile but got all my laundry dried and put away last night. Sure wish my washing machine didn't go to the big mechanical heavens in the sky! Which reminds me....I didn't sell my freezer after all, they decided to buy their daughter school clothes. I'm about ready to just give them the darn freezer. What do you all think?
Better get the move on. Onward!
A great day of pumpkins, scarecrows and gourds........
Nessa-I would love to do crafting with you! My ADHD is both a blessing (always trying something new) and a curse (running out of room)..it took me peons to become Gabapentin free and so happy for you.
Min-I hope you are surviving the change of weather here.. colder and wetter for a few days can affect the neck and back. Take care.
Toni-If the family needed to make a decision between a freezer or school clothes indicates a very tight budget. Give them the freezer unless you seriously need the money. Been there on both sides. YES!!! Organization rules but now my body drools...not really but rhymes and you get the drift.
The boys have appointments and I need to mail a package. This is the kind of day staying inside would have been preferred but we don't always get a choice so I will make the most of it.....Pain is mecurial....Peace
Musk, my you were up early, thanks for starting us off. I hope your dr appt goes well. Hopefully you can come home and get a good nap in. Your weekend sounds wonderful, Enjoy! Oh, almost forgot, I too am anxious to see your paintings!
Nessa, way to go getting off the gabapentin. That's the next one I want to tackle. I take 3600mg a day so weaning will take awhile. I wish it would "wean" off the 72lbs it put on me lol! Hope your able to get some good sleep so you can enjoy your day!
Minnie, you are so talented! The pic you posted is lovely! I'm really anxious to see more! Hope you have a fantastic low pain day!
Toni, how I wish someone would magically appear & barter the freezer for a washing machine. I can't enev begin to imagine the pain it causes you . Say, with the freezer, unless your using it why don't you just unplug it, keep the lid open & put a large bowl of charcoal & a box of baking soda to prevent odors & mildew etc....just a thought.
I'm so happy your Dr. got you in today. I pray all turns out well. Sending lots of prayers, gentle hugs & healing energy.
Erika, Darlin remember your Drs work for you, not the other way around. I know it's easier said than done, but please don't let this stress you. Only you know your body really well inside & out & if its a break you need, or its time to quit then go for it. I'll be glad to come along as your body guard when you tell them your decision. I can make them yell "Uncle" with just a look lol! I'm here for you my friend, don't forget that K! :)
I am going to be gobsmacked if this post isn't cut lol!
I really should get into the dr as my throat & ears still feel like someone took a potato peeler to em & started a bonfire. Then 8wks ago the 2nd molar in front of where your wisdom tooth would be if you still have yours, the cap came completely off and because I had a fusion surgery I've had to wait this long before I could go in. In the 8wks time there's little left of the tooth and the gum tissue is an angry red & pretty swollen. On the side of the tooth facing my cheek I took my fingernail to see if I could get anymore tooth fragments out, nope, but I did get a pea size amount of pus......sorry if tmi. So I'm going to call & see if I can get an antibiotic & set up an appt for Mon as I need to be off of my coumadin 4-5days. I'm praying for sleep today. I'm going on 5-6hrs since Fri. Haven't had this happen in quite awhile but between my neck, ears, throat & tooth....... Me hurt :(
Have a sunny side up day everyone with low pain & stress!
Love & Hugs
Lisa
