Good Morning Grammagus & all who follow!

Grammagus, what a beautiful way to start the post by giving thanks. I too am so very grateful for everyone here at FC, my hubby & family. I am so glad you are starting to feel better. Please continue to take it easy so you don't have a setback. How exciting to have a date for the move, I am so happy for you! Did your daughter find a place or are you just going regardless? I'm so glad you have some people to help you with the packing. Lots to be thankful & excited for.

Well after over a week of putting it off without fail I will finally go get my INR done today. Part of me thinks I should wait until tomorrow and get in to see my Dr as my lower left leg, which is the bad one with the tea curing cellulitis has been hurting for over a month & getting progressively worse. Whats concerning is it hurts in the bone. Just sitting on the edge of the bed with my leg bent on the bed causes quite a bit of discomfort, actually just laying in bed causes pain. I don't know...... I'm just so sick of all of it. This last bout of cellulitis caused the outside of that calf to turn a red, grey, purple color and even after antibiotics it still looks that way. I'm not running a temp at least that I'm aware of, it's not hot to the touch, it's just a strong painful ache in the bone. I guess after writing this out I better get it checked. However if I pick up one of the nasty bugs going around by going in I'm not going to be a happy camper lol! Sorry for the babbling & the whining

I hope everyone has a day of thanks, low pain and a happy go lucky kind of attitude!

Hugs & God Bless
Lisa

good morning grammagus and lisa














good morning grammagus and lisa (and all who follow),

grammagus, what a lovely and uplifting post. i love your attitude of gratitude and really needed to see that today. i hope you're over that stomach bug and glad you made it through shopping. i sense your excitement about moving east. hope you have a great day!

lisa, it sure sounds like you should see your dr sooner rather than later. i'm glad you're not running a fever. good luck whether you go for the INR today or tomorrow. hope you are a happy camper today!

i'm trying to find an attitude of gratitude today. i was up in the middle of the night with two big concerns that were popping up in my dreams, so i won't repeat all that since i put it on the evening post. i am grateful i got back to sleep and had a cool dream and had enough covers to stay warm. of course, for penny who loves me no matter what. and i'm certainly grateful for dear friends, esp FC.

i have a lot of rough phone calls to make today, but i also hope to get out for a few errands. the mobile market will be in my area, so i hope to get there and get a few things. must get out for coffee though.

wishing all a very good day!

Good Morning Gramnagus

I'm so glad that you finally have your move date. Now, at least no more worrying about if your going or when, now you can make your plans. I know it was stressful not knowing when your daughter was going to have a place, but God always works in mysterious ways. I'm so glad you are feeling better. Try to pace yourself so that you don't get sick again you'll still be able to wite to us here won't you? I hope just because you're going to NC, that doesn't mean we won't hear from you.

Lisa, my legs are all discolored on the bottom too from a bout of cellucitis that I had. Unfortunately, that discoloration never went away and there is nothing they can do about it now. I'm sorry you're feeling so bad honey. You don't have to apologize for complaining. You haven't felt well for a long time now. It isn't easy going through that. I thought you were going for your INR the other day when your husband was off and you were going for an ice cream ? You need a break. I hope you can get one soon.

Well we got a dusting of snow last night, just enough to make it slippery out there. I don't have anything planned today except to do my bookkeeping and I have to workout today. Other than that, a quiet day.

I hope everyone has a great day with low pain.

Love and hugs,

Serenity,

Good morning, sorry you didn't have a good night. I hope you get out to the mobile mart today. I know you said you needed to get things last week from the mobile mart. I hope today goes better for you honey. I hope your weather has warmed up a bit. Have a great day whatever you decide to do.

Love and hugs,

Xoxoxo

Hello all:

Another busy week and the stupid heat is on and off. Its either 85 or 65. Yesterday sucked the life out of me with the heat. People are resorting to wearing short sleeve shirts at work (it was 7 degrees yesterday and the ladies are wearing tank tops whoopee.

I had such a weird night last nite. I feel asleep at 9pm out of exhaustion. Wife woke me up and yelled at me and asked if I was going to take a shower. I was like stuck to the bed from exhaustion and said hell no. So then I had very weird dreams about my parents getting mad at me and locking me out of the house. Woke up at 6am and took a shower. Felt good and laid down for a few. Gotta get thru two more days.

I am thinking of making chicken soup this weekend! It is my favorite. And we are having a soup contest in two weeks at work for Souper Bowl Sunday. Cooking soup is alot of work though. Lots of standing. Maybe I can sit whilst I cut the vegetables.
Otherwise I hope all are well and warm in this frozen winter.

Gramma- Nice start to the day
Seren- good luck with the phone calls
Mary ellen-Sounds like you have a quiet day. Still havent made the gym. Work has been so busy I just collapse in bed at the end of the day. Cant even really eat or cook, let alone exercise.
seekn- grrp ribit eeek, good day pal
JC- I need my coke too before I am human
Toni- I AM an ornery SOB arent I. They say after a brain injury you become opposite of who you were. I WASSS a nice old man. Now Im just a cantankerous old fart!

Martini

Good morning FC.

Grammagus, the moving date is upon you finally! Glad you have people to load the truck and ladies to come help you pack. From what you've told us, that is one mean bug! I'm glad you were able to get your shopping done without incidence. Glad Ed has been so supportive in helping you with the move. Moving out of the home we bought 22 yrs ago gives me a full body shiver, lol. Thank you for such goodwill this morning.

Lisa, cellulitis is such a nasty customer. I hope it hasn't gone into other areas (like the bone). I thought you were going for the INR the other day too. But we make plans and sometimes those plans change, right?
Going into a germ filled waiting room is what worries me too. I hope you can get in and out fast. Easy does it today, k? Hugs

Serenity, were you able to go right back to sleep? I hope so. After I'm done here I'll run over to last night's check in. Coffee is an essential product. I'd go through a blizzard to get it if I were out! lol. Good luck on your phone calls today. Hugs

OMG ME! Be careful if you have to get out there on the slippery places! We don't need our buddy to get hurt! xoxo

Hi Seek!. I didn't know your internet was down but happy it's back up. Hadn't heard from you in a while. Glad you have goodies to keep you occupied In your mancave. Let us in on how your health is doing. Inquiring minds want to know! Hope you are sleeping well today. Big froggy hugs.

jc, I need at least 2 cups of coffee before I can come to check in. My brain is mush first thing in the morning. Here's the hug back to you. HUGS

I woke up at 8. Did the usual cat musical chairs. Now, they are all (hopefully) asleep. Every day now, after the initial herding of cats, I sit down to non-stop muscle spasms for about 30 minutes. Then I'm right as rain. Plan today is reading my book and farting around the house. I hope everyone has a manageable pain day.

Hugs,

CNW

Rats Martini. Your job sounds like a germ breeding ground with the up and down temps. I hope these 2 days goes by fast. 3 day weekend is coming up! Hope you get through the day uneventfully. Hugs big guy.

Grammagus-that was a wonderful way to start the day in a thankful mode. I try to do that daily and sometimes need a kick. Happiness is you having a moving day. Being over the horrible flu is something to be really thankful about.

Lisa-my son Jeb with the facial deformity and trach lived with cellulitis off and on from birth until 20 in his face. Then suddenly stopped. I hope for you someday yours ends. Sorry state of affairs.'

Serenity-dreams and waking I understand and hopefully you got back to sleep. Take it slow and easy especially with all the phone calls.

ME-snow is so beautiful but can be so dangerous. I hope you do not need to go out. Have a good workout.

Seek-you have been missed more then you know. Your sparkly and wonderful self I am so thankful forever and a day.

JC-Caffeine and time work wonders. Glad to see you and hopefully you have some semblance of a calm day.

Dianna-Herding fur babies can be fraught with body issues! They had better know what you go through and then be sweetly purring to help you through the horrendous spasms.

Martini-I always wondered what a hell-hole was and now I believe there is an answer. Your job place. So very sorry for what you go through for the income. Sigh.......

Happy and thankful for knowing that no matter what happens in life there are people that will catch me and hold me up. The rest doesn't matter. And then there is my elliptical I put together which will make me healthier and therefore thankful.

Today learning more on my stock option class. Thank goodness for the laptop to record and then I can sit and really focus.

Hugs, Love and Low Pain,
Joanne

Good Morning Seek, JC, Dianna, Martin, Joanne,

I'm grateful for all of you great friends here in the circle

Seek, we missed you! I'm so glad your Internet is up and running again so we can hear from your sparkly self. I'm so sorry you're still hurting so badly and am always praying for a reprieve for you, you do need a break from all the flares.

Martin, I'm sorry you have to even go into that hell hole. That's ridiculous thst guys are wearing t-shirts to work when it's that cold outside. Everyone will have pneumonia if they're not careful to keep warm. Why does your wife feel the need to wake you when you're already sleeping? My mom used to do that. I pray your day goes by fast for you.

Dianna, wrangling cats again huh? You'll be sore later. I hope you can just sit and relax and get some reading in. You need a break today. I hope those spasms ease. There's nothing worse sometimes than those darn things. Heat always helps mine.

JC, get some nice coffee, relax awhile , and hopefully that will help you get out of some of that pain you are in. I do hope you get some relief.

Joanne, you amaze me. Putting together your elliptical which I know is very difficult as I did mine 12 years ago when I was a lot stronger than I am now. Now Stock Option class, do you ever just do nothing and rest?
God bless all of you!

It's still sleeting, raining/snowing so I stayed home and I'll work out here. It was too nasty to get out.

Love you all

Xoxoxo

Mary Ellen

i need more coffee but good moring my friends hugs min

Good morning, afternoon and evening that should cover everyone!

Grammagus love your attitude and how you see all that you've been blessed with! Great news on the moving date :) and having so many that think so much of you and Ed that they want to help. Get to feeling better and rest.

Lisa I thought you already went! Dang it you better get it in gear and go today! You sure don't need for it to get any worse and you need to find a way to improvement. Hope to hear later how it went.

Serenity I saw the nite time check in and sheesh I can understand why you're so upset. If they would have cleaned it it probably wouldn't have gotten to this point errrr! Get your name on the HUD list, it can take some time to get in anyways.

ME what are we to do with ya?! Going to have to send you a cabana boy to snuggle with and doing your running for you. Nice little exercise program too hehehe

Seek you've finally blessed us with your presence! So good to see you back with us:). What's with the ants and computers!

JC my glitter plaid clad pal hope that coffee stimulates you and puts your limbino into balance today, tee hee.

Dianna those rascals should be taking turns giving you massages! Hmm maybe Hal needs a work mascot LOL.....hey that's not a bad idea now that I think of it ;)

Wow Martini's still struggling with the heat, but found something good in it. Leave it to your ornery self, no wonder your wife was smacking you upside the head hehehe.

Moonie have a good time with your new toy putting together and using. Good luck with those stocks! With my now gone job I had matching stocks, for $33 a month. I picked 3 out of the wind and cashed in at 3 mths for roughly $2300. Good thing I did I was injured just a few weeks later, whew.

I'm thankful for my awesome friends here at FC. You all hold me up and keep me going when I don't want to put one foot in front of the other. You give me purpose instead of just an existence :)

Much love and many blessings to all,

Toni
