Good morning, Dixie, My plan today is to rest, take my medicine, and get over this flu. My sinus cavities actually hurt. At least the sun is shining here in the Poconos, today.

I had some crazy dreams last night. I can't put my finger on anything, but it was wild. I like to analyze my dreams, esp. with friends. I get lots of insight that way. Sometimes the dreams are just too nuts to figure.

I hope all have a good Friday.

Heather

Good morning!

Kim, Proud of your son, but I know I will be nervous when the driving time comes, sigh. Is DH's mess still driving you crazy?

Heather, rest and fluids.......or there is always voo doo, lol.

Just some light cleaning for me today and rest. Have another night out coming tomorrow. My friend Julie is coming home for a couple of days before being stationed in Colorado and she just made Captain. So we are having a party for her. Looking forward to it, but gonna miss her. Still not sure what possessed her to up and join the Airforce at 42. She went straight into officer training. At least she isn't fighting, she is a doctor.

Hope everyone has a good day. Sending hugs, love, and comfort.
Tonna

Morning hens : )

Aww, happy birthday Dixie's son, i hope he has a lovely day!

My son isn't interested in driving as yet, so i haven't got that worry at the moment!
In America it seems part of the school cirriculam?
Its not here, you learn to drive and take lessons when you want to, as long as your 17 to apply for a provisional.

heather, hope you feel better soon : ) medicines (if your taking them) have lots of colourings in them which can make you dream vividly.

solace, enjoy the party!

Ive been food shopping for the week, hubby had to come so he could push the trolley around!!
Then he had to carry it in from the car!
The cough has stopped, i wonder if it was because my nose was blocked and i used some nasal drops guess they could have dried out my passage's to much, hence the dry cough.

hugs

dixie, happy birthday to your son. that was very sweet of dh.

heather, i'm so sorry you have such a terrible bug or whatever. too much to deal with and CP.

tonna, have fun!

emapthy, i'm hesitant to use nose sprays for that reason. i have a saline spray if i must. i have sinus issues, so i usually massage my face with warm water and that gets them flowing.

i did a lot more than expected yesterday and didn't have great sleep, so i'm just going to see how the day unfolds. i slept late and didn't take a morning walk yet. i just feel off today, but not terrible. just weird. so we shall see.

Good morning, lovelies... I got more help around the house during that period of time than ever before or since!

Wow...two birthdays so close together. That gets expensive, but at least it's once a year and it's over in a short time. I hope your older son is able to find a job and keep up with his responsibilities. There's nothing like a vehicle to motivate a teenager! When one of my son's was first driving, but didn't have a vehicle, he'd borrow mine when I could spare it. I would leave for work with a list of chores I wanted done by the time I got back. If he had done them, he got my car for the evening. I got more help around the house during that period of time than ever before or since!

Heather...since we've already chatted for hours this morning, I don't think I have anything left to say! lol

Tonna...you party girl! It's so great to hear about your outings after such a long time of isolation.

Empathy...don't you love having a packmule along when you go shopping? I hate lifting things and dragging them in the house when I know it's probably just going to make me hurt. I'm glad you're healing well.

I have booked my clients for mid and late afternoon so my patch will have several hours to start kicking in. Every other day I go through this bologna. Next week I go back to the Rheumy to get the test results from my first appt.. I'm afraid to get my hopes up...been disappointed too many times. Anything has to be better than living like this so I'll try to be cautiously optimistic.

I hope everyone has a nice day. Try to notice the little things around you that give joy.
Hugs and clucks...

Good morning hens,

Happy Birthday Dixie's son. My boy's are five days apart and I always combined their parties until they became teenagers. Poor fellows always had to share a cake. Bet your oldest is in heaven having his own wheels.

Heather I hope you loose that flu soon. The sinus thing is miserable. Glad you at least have some sunshine.

Serenity don't you just hate those off days? Those are the days your body is saying step back, rest and sort it out. Some fresh air might help if it is warm enough.

Tonna enjoy your party. I think what your friend is doing is awesome,

Empathy good the cough is gone. It must have hurt badly to cough with the incisions. I am sort of laughing at the pack mule thing. Since my spine started crumbling my husband carries everything and he often refers to himself as my mule.

I am sick. Started last night before I went to bed. Thought it might not be anything but this morning it is clearly what the 5 year old grandson had. Poor fellow if he felt the way I do. My stomach is cramping so bad. I am drinking weak tea instead of my normal coffee. Then I am also sad because one of my special friends was supposed to come visit for the weekend and we were going to go to a beautiful garden nearby. We have been planning this for sometime. So disappointed and sick.

love and clucks
hippy

My scabs are itchy, does anyone have any advice on treatments, i was going to put a bit of BIO OIL on them to soften them, but then i thought maybe scabs should go dry as it helps them to come off.
Sorry is that a bit gross?!

Hi guys. Love you all. Love to read your stuff daily.

Sorry to hear a couple of you are down sick. Scabs, I used to just wack them instead of itch them. My knoggin is hurting real bad, but I'm so happy right now, I'm going to do a seperate post becuase happines needs to be shared.
