Good morning

I can't believe it is 7:30 and no one has posted the morning post...Now, don't expect me to do the famous shout out...

I am just here to say GOOD MORNING and hope everyone has a wonderful day.

I am just working today, then I have a nail appointment and then going out to Rancho to pickup my grandson.

Hope everyone is getting ready for Thanksgiving...it is just around the corner.

HAVE A GREAT DAY!!!

HUGS, MICHELE

Good Morning Michele!  I too was suprised there was no morning post before this but thank you for stepping up and starting it.  It's one of the things I look forward to each morning.

Today - I want caffeine.  Now, granted I had caffeine once in the last 15 months in the form of excedrin and I turned into a spazzed out tweeker, but this morning I am soooo dragging butt it is ugly.  That, plus my ears are are all plugged up it's like listening to the world underwater.  Ugh.  This morning tho I think I just want an IV with a Caffeine Drip.  Stat,

Jayden is recovering from his first "official" grounding.  He and Dad were hanging at the house yesterday.  The boy next door was over for a while and then left.  Dad decided to take a little nap.  The boy next door came over and wanted Jayden to come over for a while.  Jayden didn't wake dad up to tell him where he was going.  Hmmmm.  Dad woke up and no Jayden.  Knew where he was, but had to land on him hard to make a life-long lasting impression.  So, grounded to the house with no friends for 2 days.  Yesterday and today.  Sucks to be in trouble.  So, first official grounding at the ripe old age of almost 7.  I do not think he;ll make that mistake again for a while.  He told me he didn't want to wake dad up.  I reminded him that he's been extensively schooled in the art of waking up a sleeping grizzley bear.  He should know how to do it by now.

Oh, all I have to do is make it through Today and Tomorrow and the rest is just -- Gravy.  I was going to go do Black Friday shopping with some friends but I think I'll pass.  Just order what I want online and call it good.  One kid wants a Garmin GPS.  The other kid wants a Digital Camera.  The last kid wants work clothes.  How practical.  I can do this.  Gps, check.  Camera.  Check.  Gift card for shopping.  Check.  Shopping done.  TaaaaDaaaa!

I'm off to get some payroll done.  Have a great day, remember to take your vitamins and drink your water and remember to dance today as if nobody's watching.  I did last night in Subway to some great music and even Jayden was rocking along with me.  It's awsome!

ps.........puppy poop smells just as bad as regular dog poop.  Need to move momma and all her puppies to the back room and out of my living room.  Ewwww, poopy!

Good morning Michelle and all of California,

Well it's Tuesday and we apparently have computers this morning.  That is good and bad.   Good cause here I am.  Bad cause I have to do work.  The old Ying and Yang theory at work.

Nothing much on the agenda today but work and then I'll stop at the grocery on the way home and get what I need for Thursday.  We do Thanksgiving at my sister's house.  She cooks the Turkey, stuffing and mashed potatoes.  I do the sweet potatoes, green beans and pies. I'm going to make a corn casserole this year as well.  It's super easy and I have most of the ingredients at home already.

So that is the extent of my day.  Just get through it and tomorrow and then a wonderful 4 day weekend.  I'm sooooo looking forward to it.  Hope you all have a great day and be sure to do something special for yourself.

Good morning!  Rise and Shine...I'm so glad it's Tuesday already.  I'll be out of the office tomorrow by noon and have off until Monday

Last night I have a rough night.  I had abdominal pain again! ...And as many of you know, I've had this complication since 2007.  After leaving the gym last night, by the time I came home I was already feeling the pain coming.  I began to feel nausea and moments later, I asked Anna to take me to ER  .....Long story short, by the time she parked the truck in ER, my pain was going away slowly.  Moments later, I was feeling like a new guy.  This pain that comes and goes has been happening since 2007 and doctor's can't tell what's causing it...Ughhhh...

Anyhow, I'm going to really watch what I eat today and not irritate my pouch. 

Hopefully today is a good day for everyone! 

I have an odd recurring pain, Gus...although I do not think it is quite the same as yours..lol  When my lower intestine is fuller than should be, maybe we could say backed up a bit...the weight of it drops on to my ovary and bladder area,(No uterus to hold it up) causing extreme pain..it nearly sent me to the hospital 2 months ago..went to Dr. 1 day later, had a contrast cat scan done and they found just a lumpy bumpy bowl blob....so in your case..maybe its just stuff moving along...lets hope so..

I've had everything done CT Scans, X-Rays, Contrast (blue, green, white, etc).  Doctor's can't pin point what it is.  After two years of experiencing these pains, I really think it's some form of dumping where the food is moving around the intestines. 

But let me tell ya! The pains SUCKS!!!!!!  It's so bad that when I open up the ER doors, they know Gus is BACK!

Gus,

That totally sucks!  Sorry you had so much pain.  I hope you can get things straightened out ... stomach pain is bad anytime,but especially during Thanksgiving.

Kim

Hey Gus, sorry you are dealing with this again.  Mike also seems to have some similar problems.  He can be fine for the longest time and then bam.  For him it's one of two things.  He does have kidney stones and every so often one of them decides to go for a little walk.  That can last anywhere from a few minutes to days.  His other issue is stomach acid.  I know we aren't supposed to have acid in the pouches but he does and it causes horrible pain and vomiting.  Again, can last a little while or days.  If he takes his prescription strength acid meds on a regular basis it helps alot.  The "attacks" don't happen as often. They never saw an ulcer, but apparently because we aren't supposed to have acid and it is quite apparent that he does, it reeks havoc with him. Just some things to think about.

Anyway, hope you are feeling better now.  Say hi to Anna for us.

Steph

Good Morning Cali,

Not much going on with me.  Came into work 30 mins. late because I made a batch of corn pudding for the floor's Thanksgiving dinner.  I realized, last night,  that I have to buy more sour cream for two big corn puddings (for my cousin's house).  Just need to get through today and tomorrow. 

Everyone have a great day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

More Love and Peace,

Kimmie

Good morning Michele,

Today has been hectic, I left early and figured I could stop and get me a decaf tea, well a semi and 5 cars changed that.  Horrible pile up on 880 north.  I was almost taken out last week twice in the same area.  These semi's just seem to think they own the road and when there is construction and the lanes have been made smaller you really are at risk.  I know it is not always the trucks fault but they should not be in the left hand lane as far as I am concerned. 

Hope the rest of the day goes better.  Count down to vacation on Thursday!
