Good Sunday Morning Cali

Good morning everyone....

I, too, am thinking about Steve and his family. These health issues at the end of life are very difficult...never easy... I mean, we all know our day will come some day, but when it really happens...wow. My heart is heavy for the jacobsen family today. Prayers and love heading towards them...

Dave and I had fun visiting with the San Diego girls..they are a hoot!! And, I bet they rocked the house last night dancing and doing karaoke...

Also got to visit with a friend in Lakeside down there yesterday, and she took us up to the top of Mt. Helix... all I can say is what a view!! And, there is this huge cross up there... just gorgeous...

A long day of driving, but with Dave to chat with, it was just great...we drank coffee on the long drive home...chatted...held hands... very sweet.

Off soon to take Starbucks to mom and dad...their Sunday afternoon routine these days!

love to you all...

Good Morning all, sounds like everyone has a busy day planned. Just jumped on for a minute to check on everyone and get the update. So sorry to hear about Bob, the prayers will continue.

I enjoyed the lightening show last night as well for an hour or so, then came the pounding rain. It did not last for long but it came down furiously for a bit. Just getting ready to head out and make sure I am situated for surgery Thurday .

I will be working through Thursday and then don't have to be at the hospital until 8:00 am. I am the 2nd case so it wil not start until about 10:30 or later. Getting anxious and excited too. Just trudging along on this pre-op liquid diet.. I am sure it will be easier after Thursday.

Have a great Sunday and keep up the good work all... Lori

GOOD MORNING JANINE AND ALL OF THE REST OF YOU WONDERFUL CALI PEOPLE.

WELL THIS IS NOT ONE OF OUR SUNNIER DAYS AS OUR GOOD FRIEND STEVE IS IN SUCH PAIN AND SADNESS. MY THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS ARE WITH HIM AND HIS BROTHER BOB AND THE REST OF HIS FAMILY.

TODAY I AM JUST DOING THE SAME OLE SAME OLE AS HUBBY IS WORKING. SO I AM IN MY GRADEN THINKING ABOUT PLANTING A FEW BULBS, BUT IT PROBABLY WON'T HAPPEN TODAY, MY HANDS ARE HURTING ME SO BAD FOR THE LAST WEEK.

I THINK I WILL BE GOING TO THE DR. TO MAKE SURE THAT IT IS WHAT EVERYONE THINKS INCLUDING MY GP DR. I DON'T WANT TO BUT I READ AN ARTICAL THAT SAYS IF YOU LET IT GO TO LONG YOU CAN DEVELOP PERMANENT LOSS OF FEELING IN PARTS OF YOUR HANDS ALONG WITH CONSTANT DETERIORATION , SO THAT KIND OF HELPED ME MAKE UP MY MIND.

I CAN'T EVEN BUTTER A PIECE OF TOAST FOR MY GRAND DAUGHTER, I CAN'T HOLD THE KNIFE AND I FEEL STRANGE DOING IT, AND IT IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO TYPE ANYMORE. IT TAKES ME FOREVER TO TYPE A POST AND I AM HAVING TO WEAR BRACES ALMOST ALL THE TIME. THE PAIN IS CREEPING UP TO MY FOREARMS AND MY SHOULDERS.

I GUESS AFTER MY GASTRO APPT. TOMORROW I WILL BE CALLING THE DR. FOR MY HANDS. I REALLY DIDN'T WANT TO HAVE THIS DONE BUT I GUES YOU HAVE TO DO WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO.

MY DAUGHTER, SON,AND SISTER HAVE ALL HAD IT DONE. MY SISTER SAYS HER HANDS ARE STARTING TO HURT AFTER 10 YEARS. MY SON AND DAUGHTER ARE ONLY A FEW YEARS OUT, SO FAR SO GOOD.

WELL NOW THAT IT HAS BEEN 25 MINUTES TRYING TO TYPE THIS I AM GOING TO WISH YOU ALL A VERY HAPPY SUNDAY. TAKE CARE AND STAY HYDRADTED

Good afternoon Janine and Cali crew. Get a late start today.

I'm keeping Steve, Bob and the family in my prayers. I have already signed Steve's surgery page.

I am stuck at home while hubby is off playing Speed Racer at the track again. But this will be the last race he goes to this year, so hope he has fun.

Nothing really on the agenda for me. Just going to work in one of my graphic arts programs for a while.

Hope everyone has a great day. Stay cool and stay hydrated.

Hello California!

I'm tired today so taking it easy.  I tried  heated FF Swanson 33% less chicken broth and unflavored whey isolate.  That was good!  I've got my 70g of protein in and am still working on my fluids.  Walking is slow today too.  Less than a mile.  Good thing I've got hours left to work it all in.

Everyone have a great day!

Good Morning All........

Just a brief note.............

Steve and Bob, you are in my thoughts and prays. 

Everyhting here is a plain Sunday, getting ready for Monday and the work week............

Joy to all, have fun

I am so sorry you werent given enough notice to make it down. I would have loved to have met you and had you at the lunch!!! We did have a good time and a better time during the night. I am still tired, I am not use to being up until 3:00 in the morning then waking up at 8:00 and still waking up every couple hours throughout the night. Hey it was worth it though, had tons of fun and love spending time with everyone!! As for today, I have done much of nothing, lol, just some laundry!!

Glad you ended up having a good day!!!! Hope today is good too!!!

We had a dooozie of a weekend!  Hubby and I had to get Jayden home.  His poor momma hadn't seen him in 3 weeks and was frothing at the bit!  With all the darn f ires up here ..... just as we were getting ready to hit the road with all the quads loaded, clothes, etc.  they closed Hwy 299 west to the coast.  Ugh.  This means our wonderful 2.75 hour trip just turned into 6 hours!  We had to go Hwy 36 to Wildwood road to Hwy 3 to Douglas City.  Normally this takes us 45 minutes from Redding.  It took us 3 hours to get to Douglas City.  We got to Eureka at 11 pm and trying to find a motel room was impossible.  We crashed on granny's floor.  Saturday we got Jayden and his momma moved from one apartment to new apartment.  Then we went riding!  No Injuries!!!!   Road closed all day Saturday.  Road opened this morning and we headed out.  By the time we got to Weaverville, the dad-blasted freaking road was closed again!  Darn - reverse previous detour.  Tired.  Off to Wal-Mart to get items on my shopping list and then to bed.  Tomorrow is gonna be a doooozie.
