As usual I am up early, but very happy as my crochet animal project is almost done. Only 7 more animals to go.
Sweet Sunday should start off with a cup of hot coffee or cocoa and a plate of home made cinnamon rolls. I've already had the coffee. I had imaginary cinnamon rolls. That way my diabetes will stay under control.
We had to contact Ed's doctor as the medicine we thought was going to help him took a turn and made him so agitated he could not sit in a chair for more that 5 minutes. He paced the floor, cursed the Parkinson's and complained of more pain. She took him off that medicine and told him to increase another one that we already had. It makes him sleep quite a bit, but he is not in pain and the tremors are almost non existent at least while the medicine is effective. She is trying to get him in before his late January appointment to see how this medicine regimen is doing.
Crocheting until it is time to go to church, then after church out to eat, I think. Ed has not decided yet. Then home to more crocheting. At the rate I am going I should be done by Wednesday. Hurray ! ! ! ! ! ! !
Prayers for everyone to have a warm, safe, pain free day. I love you all.

i like your breakfast choice. i'll have some imaginary ones, too!
oh no, sorry about ed's med. i hope the switch works and keeps working.
good job on the crocheting! hugs and hopes for a lovely day!
I moved Serenity's on over as hers came in a bit later than grammagus's. So here you have it:
good morning dear friends,
last day of the weekend is here. what are you up to today? how are you feeling?
mother and i have some cleaning and packing to do. my pain was pretty high yesterday, but the soup turned out very nice and mother made cornbread to dunk. mmmm.
when i got the soup going we went to the dollar tree and to walmart where i took a cart. getting into that SUV is like getting into and 18 wheeler cab! just that part is exhausting. she's considerate, but people don't realize that every step can be a trial some days. anyway, we had a good day and a good dinner and watched the tourist. i was in bed by 8!
so today we're clearing out and i'll get to see miss penny! we both have leftovers to go, so that's my day.
wishing all a peaceful, loooooow pain day! hugs!
Sayeth Miss Serenity ;)
Grammagus, I'm sorry Ed had problems with his medicine. He was doing so well on it. Thankfully, his other medication works as well. I'll have a Cinnamon Roll. I love them, but with my diet, they're a no-no, so the viral ones are great for me. It reminds me of the breakfast posts we used to start the day with years ago.
God Bless you for crocheting all of those animals. I'm sure the children will just love them. I hope you have a blessed day at church. Please day a prayer for us. I hope you get to go out an enjoy dinner after church Grammagus.
Serenity, I hope you and mom had a nice evening. How did your meeting go or is that scheduled for today? I hope your soup came out good last night. Hopefully your back is feeling better today. I pray you and mom enjoy the rest of your time together.
It's finally a sunny day out. That rainy/snowy weather was getting depressing all week long. Today, I'm just taking it easy really. Going to try and do some wotk out on my elliptical, nothing major, but my body hurts when I don't do anything. My brother's girlfriend's mother passed away on Wednesday morning. She suffered like us with chronic pain in her back. The wake is Tomorrow and Funeral Monday morning and I will be going to both.
I pray everyone has a low pain day.
Love and hugs,
Xoxoxo

Grammagus what a shame Ed's med isn't working out like you both thought is was going too. Hope's up the answers out there. Yay you're almost done on your projects! I sure hope you give yourself a break afterward.
Serenity i'd say you earned that pain yesterday, i'm hurting just thinking about. Wow in bed by 8, the mother is making you old! tee hee. Have a good day of snuggles with Miss Penny, she has to be missing her mama really bad and vice a versa!
I've got to pick things up around here some today, I know hold back the excitement!
Hey yesterday I was looking out my back door and I always look up to see if I can see any hawks, there was a darn I can't ever remember what they're called, ugh. They're motorized hang gliders. I so wanted to drive out to the fields and ask for a ride ;), but thought they wouldn't appreciate it! This big bird so wants to fly!!!
Guess it doesn't take much to excite me after all!
Love, hugs and smooches,
Toni
L, H and S's to you too
oh toni, that would be cool...flying like a hawk. i see them outside my place just gliding in the drafts. this area is one of the top hang gliding places in the country b/c of the good drafts and high mountains. hope you have a peaceful day yourself. don't wear yourself out with stuff that'll wait.
ME, i'm sorry about your loss and i'm sure that going to the wake is going to use more spoons that you have to part with. so wish i could send you some. you're so dear and sweet to be there for so many. please take it easy. you're in my constant prayers.
mother's and my meeting is next tuesday, so i'll have a day of rest. we haven't even talked about it since we've been here.
mother and i are both too pooped to pop after yesterday. she's napping in the recliner and i've loaded the dishwasher and have mostly cleaned the kitchen. too tired to fold clean laundry. i'm concerned the doggie is MIA, so i keep going out and calling her. then sitting on heating pad and rubbing on icy hot. we're a pair of slugs today, but no rush.
LHS, too!
So I'm just a bit confused,
where to follow?
Gram, you sound so talented and Ed is lucky to have you
It must be very difficult sometimes, I wish you strength and peace
Serenity, great minds think alike! You and Gram, lol
I hope you and your mother ar having a good time
Just don't over do it
So I did post a photo of the tree but i just can't seem to get it in focus
I'm trying again to get a couple of photos, I think I got them
Now to upload them...
Every year there is that kinda low grade stress that kinda builds towards New Years
Ido my best not to buy into the drama,
And keep a Teflon robe on, so the drama dosent stick.
Even so...I feel it and it effects me
Than new years eve several years ago one of my best friends died
I always miss R1 around this time of year
I'm ok, except for the weather is sucking my energy dry.
I do not like the warm foggy crap.
The guy just said 52 degrees today, double crap!
I'm having trouble with being very sore
Also I am supposed to call my cardiologist
I'm having chest pain fairly often these days, it can't be heart
It's a differant very sharp pain, the Docs call it chest wall pain.
I talk about this all the time at cardiac rehab so they know what's up
Monday I see my internal med Doc and this will be discussed again.
It's hard sometimes to stay positive about all of this
I know I am quite lucky.
I have good health care and am able to see the Drs that I need
I live somewhere that I really like.
V wants to move... Me? Not so much.
That's the kind of stress that sits there and eats at me.
Ok, hello to those I've missed, peace to you
have a wonderful day!
Peace
Michael
Things have been very difficult in my world recently, but I just keep praying for a better tomorrow.
Sorry about the losses, especially at holiday time. It is so hard when the emotional hurt is so strong.
Hard to type right now. The doctor is trying to get an electric wheelchair for me. Please say a prayer for me, The electric chair would be such a life saver. My husband who has had to help me with everything is having more physical problems. He is on oxygen at night and anytime he lays down. He has collapsed in the yard several times because his legs are giving out from pain and DDD.
I haven't been online in awhile, again. But I do keep all of you in my prayers. Wishing all a peaceful weekend.
Hugs-RJ
that was real cool of you to bring Serenitys post over here Toni. i can just see you up on that motoirized hang glider! sorry to hear about your brothers girlfriends mom passing away Mary Ellen. im glad the sun is finally out for you. thanks for posting pics Mike. so sorry the end of the year is a tough time for you with the anniversary of one of your best friends death. i hope you and your dr get those chest pains worked out.
hello RJR so nice to see you. sorry to hear you have been struggling. we are here for you thank you for thinking of us. i hope you get your motorized wheel chair soon. hi Seekn thanks for stopping by.
im enjoying the games even with this relentless back pain. im screaming at the tv to support my team. enjoy the day everyone
RJ, prayers for you and your your husband. praying for the electric wheelchair and for his safety, too. know you're always here and keep you in my prayers, too.
seek, very good to see you. you've been on my mind and i hope you're feeling better.
e, glad you have games to take your mind off the pain. i hope it's better so you can sleep.
i made it home and have been doting on miss penny. i also went down to visit tina who'd just come back from atlanta from staying with a dear friend she wanted me to meet. too tired to unpack, but just wanted to check in. i'll post photos of mother and i saying good bye to maggie. she's still not full grown so you might be surprised at her size and her heart is just as big. she herded the horses into their area before we left.
wishing all sweet dreams and low pain. hugs n love!
Well, Max is trying to type this so gotta go. I'm sorry for those hurting and will do the proper check in tomorrow. Have a good evening all. Hugs, Dianna
Mike yay on getting pics up, i'll go check them out and thanks ;). I was just talking to a friend about how holidays make you miss the ones that aren't with you anymore much more. It sure bring the memories to a head. i sure wish you'd get some snow once and for all!!!
RJ! so good to see you, it's been to long! sorry you and your husband are having so many health problems. I keep you in my prayers and I'll add the chair in. Try to come around more and get the support you need and some distraction from it all. Love you girl!
Erika you are my stability! I know I can always count on you to be watching the games on Sundays hahaha! Sure wish your back would get to feeling better. Stay off your feet and take the time to heal or I'm taking your cornbread away! ;)
Dianna so happy for you and Hal that you got a new baby to spoil rotten :). Bless you both for taking her in and giving her a safe and loving home.
I'm wore out and that's the nice version. I'm kicking back and going to watch something i have recorded. The pups are all contented after some mama snuggle time and are snoozing away. It was almost 60 today so Luma got a lot of outdoor time today to visit with her buddies. All is bliss with them :)
Sweet dreams and hugs,
Toni
