Good Tuesday Morning Cali

Good morning California!  Hope everyone has a great day...I'm off the rest of this week so I'll be enjoying my time off other than going to see a radiologist today to drink this nasty liquid

I hope everyone enjoys their day and let's make it a great day!

Good Morning Cali Board and Janine.  Great awsome shout-out!  Yesterday was an awsome day for me.  Wore my red pants (yes Rhonda they're still MINE!) and a cute white sweater and felt totally cute and skinny! 

Went home and started a deep clean on my house.  I haven't been able to do this since the first part of September and have only done light spot cleaning.  And, since November I haven't been able to do any of it.  OMG!  I got the kitchen and the living room and the hall way done.  Vacuum moving furniture, sweeping up dog hair and dust, vacuuming more, mopping floor, washing throw rugs.  I was one sore hurting puppy last night.  Ugh.  Didn't realize how much you use those muscles until after surgery.  Wow. 

Tonight is cleaning 2 bathrooms and my bedroom.  Then, I can relax for a bit.  We are going to a "tree burning" party New Years eve.  We're smoking a turkey, and bringing stuffing and gravy.  Yumm.  Big ole bonfire and good friends.

I am 1 pound away from my 100# goal!  I can do this!  2008 has been an awsome year and 2009 will be even bettter!  Jayden did tell his momma "MoMo is the bestest most awsomest Evil STep Monster ever".  Wow, brought tears to my eyes. 

And Janine - being so busy and go go go go is a result of my ADHD as a kid.  I learned how to channel all that energy into productive time.  I taught my 2 hyper kids to do the same thing.  ADHD can be a mega negative, but if you're determined enough, you can work around it to make it a positive.  I'm like a big pink energizer bunny..........................

Off to work I go!

 

Good Morning Janine and Cali,

Janine your shout outs are amazing.  You have such a great memory. 

I just wanted to say thank you to everyone.  You all have been such a great support.  I have been more of a lurker lately, I still haven't fixed my computer problem, so the only time I get on is at work.  Shhhh!  don't tell.

I miss staying up on what is happening with all of you.  I hope everyone has a GREAT and SAFE New Years. I hope to have my computer fixed and up and running soon.

Linda

HI  JANINE AND ALL YOU WONDERFUL PEOPLE HERE IN OUR OWN LITTLE HOME.

I HAVE MISSED EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU SO MUCH, AND COULDN'T LET THE REST OF THE YEAR GO BY WITH OUT WISHING YOU ALL THE THE BEST FOR THE UP COMING YEAR.

I AM SO SORRY I HAVE BEEN MIA SO MUCH, BUT I HAVE BEEN IN PAIN FROM MY HEAD TO MY TOES. (THE ONLY SKINNY THING ON ME)

I WILL BE HAVING CARPAL TUNNEL SURGERY ON THE 12TH OF JANUARY ON MY RIGHT HAND,WRIST WHAT EVER, AND PRAYING THAT IT TAKES ME AWAY FROM THIS TERRIBLE PAIN FROM MY FINGER TIPS TO MY SHOULDERS IN BOTH HANDS AND ARMS,

I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO EXERCISE AT ALL. I JUST SIT AROUND ON THE COUCH IN TEARS PRAYING FOR A BETTER YEAR. WITH THE UP COMING SURGERY I AM TRYING TO THINK POSITIVE THAT IT IS GOING TO BE A GOOD START.

I HAVE TO GO SEE ANOTHER RHUMATOID DR. BEHIND MY PRESENT ONE)S BACK, MY HAND SURGEON TOLD ME TO DO THIS, AS SOME BLOOD LEVEL THAT SHOULD BE NOT MUCH MORE THEN 9 IS 26.7. MADE ME FEEL REAL GOOD NOWING THEY HAVE NO IDEA WHY IT IS SO HIGH. ALL MY DR. SAYS IS THAT IT IS SOME KIND OF INFECTION. WEEEEEE FUN FUN. MY HAND SURGEON WANTS A DEFINITE YES OR NO I I HAVE RA. THEN WE CAN TREAT OR MOVE ON AND FIND OUT THE PROBLEMS.

I AM SUPPOSE TO START THERAPHY ON MY LEFT HAND TODAY OR TOMORROW AND MY RIGHT HAND BEFORE SURGERY.

MY CRONES DISEASE IS BACK WITH A VENGENCE AND IS HORRIBLE, BUT CAN'T DO ANYTHING MORE ABOUT THAT TILL I SEE MY GASTRO DR, ON THE 25TH OF JANUARY.

MY PRIMARY CARE DR.'S WIFE DIED THIS WEEK. SO VERY YOUNG AND SO SAD. AND SO HE OF COURSE HAS NOT BEEN TO WORK AND WON'T BE FOR A WHILE, AND HIS BACK UP DR, WONT BE BACK TILL FRIDAY, SO I HAVE NO DR. TO SEE TO GET MY BLOOD WORKUP AND EKG AND CHEST XRAYS AND SO ON DONE BEFORE MY SURGERY.

THEY WON'T DO IT UNLESS ALL THE WRITE PAPER WORK IS THERE 3 DAYS BEFORE THE SURGERY. SO I AM GOING TO TRY TO GET MY GASTO DR. TO DO THE STUFF FOR ME. THIS IS ALMOST LIKE HAVE BYPASS SURGERY. I JUST HOPE I PASS AS I HAVE THE CALICFICATION BUILD UP ON THE ARTERY WALL, WHICH MY PRIMARY CARE DR. WAS SUPPOSE TO DO ANOTHER WORK UP AND STRESS TEST, BUT HIS MIN HAS BEEN ELSE WEAR, OF COURSE. I GUESS IT ONLY SHOWS UP UNDER MRI SO MAYBE I WILL GET LUCKY. YEA RIGHT.

I AM ON THAT DARN PREDNISONE THAT IS NOT HELPING ME TO KEEP MY WEIGHT DOWN AT ALL. I SURE AM NOT HAPPY ABOUT THAT.  I AM STILL HOPING TO GET THE ENLARGED STOMA TAKEN CARE OF AFTER ALL THE OTHER PROBLEMS ARE DONE. MY DOCTORS TOLD ME THAT THAT PROBLEM COMES LAST. EVEN THO IT IS SO HARD TO BREATHE WITH ALL THE EXTRA WEIGHT ON ME AN IN MY OPINION IS THE FIRST PROBLEM.

AND OF COURSE SINCE MY GETTING OUT OF THE HOUSE PROBLEM PUT ME TO THE END OF THE YEAR MY DEDUCTABLE WILL NOT BE  MET AND I CAN'T TALK MY WAY OUT OF HAVING THE SURGERY CAUSE HUBBY HAS WITTNESS THE PAIN. SO NOW WE ARE OLD AND BROKE AND THEY HAVE CUT HUBBY'S WORK HOURS TO 8 HOURS 3 TO 4 A DAYS A WEEK IF WERE LUCKY.

 I FEEL LIKE SELLING THE HOUSE AND MOVING TO AN APPARTMENT IN ANOTHER STATE. I AM GOING TO TRY TO LOOK INTO PERMENANT DISABILITY FOR MY SELF AS IT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE A LOT OF MY PROBLEMS WILL CLEAR PERMANTELY. MAYBE THAT WILL HELP A LITTLE WITH THE BILLS. (DOUBTFUL) 

 HUBBY IS ONCE AGAIN LOOKING FOR A SECOND JOB  AT 58 AND I AM AGAINST THAT AS HIS HEALTH IS NOT ALL THAT GOOD. BUT BECAUSE OF MY SPENDING HABBIT THE LAST 2 YEARS I SCREWED UP EVERYTHING, AND IF I COULD RUN AWAY FROM HOME AND NEVER TO BE SEEN FROM AGAIN I WOULD, BUT THAT STILL WOULDN'T HELP THE BEST HUBBY IN THE WORLD.

EVERYTHING HAS GONE WRONG AND I'M TO BLAME. I FEEL SO BAD I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO. I WANT TO SELL MY PLATINUM WEDDING RINGS AND GOLD RINGS AND HUBBY SAYS NO!!! I HAVE THAT BRAND NEW $400 PILATES MACHINE THAT HAS NEVER BEEN USED OR PUT TOGETHER THAT I SHOULD SELL AT A LOSS, BUT HUBBY SAYS YOU MIGHT BE ABLE TO USE IT ONE DAY.   YEA RIGHT. I HAVE A BIG TREADMILL I SHOULD GET RID OF BUT NO. IF I TALK HIM INTO IT I WILL BE SELLING.

WELL THIS WAS A DOWNER OF A POST FOR MY FIRST ONE BACK.

I AM SO SORRY MY FRIENDS BUT I HAVE NO ONE TO TELL IT TO, NOT THAT IT'S IMPORTANT TO ANY ONE AS THERE ARE MORE THEN JUST ME IN THIS BOAT AND NOT THAT ANYONE LISTENS, I GUESS IT'S JUST IMPORTANT THAT I CAN GET IT OUT.

I LOST A LOT OF MY BEAUTIFUL PLANTS DUE TO ALL THE FROST AND FREEZING, WHAT ANOTHER HEART BREAKER. I HAD PLANS THIS UP COMING YEAR TO TURN MY YARD INTO A BEAUTIFUL ROSE GARDEN.

WELL WE ALL NO WHAT HAPPEN TO THAT PLAN, IN THE RECYCLE GREEN WASTE CAN. SO I WON'T NEED TO GO OUT IN THE BACK YARD AGAIN. I WILL SINCERELY MISS WORKING WITH MY PLANTS. I HAD THEM ALL PICKED OUT. BUT I DID IT TO MY SELF.

OK ENOUGH PITTY PARTY FOR ME, MY GHOST WRITER IS GETTING TIRED OF TYPING, YOU KNOW ME I COULD TYPE AND TAKE FOREVER.. LOL

MAY GOD BLESS, AND I WISH YOU ALL THE BEST NEW YEAR TO YOU ALL.

I LOVE YOU ALL, MY AWESOME CYBER FRIENDS.

TEAR UP ALL CREDIT CARDS.

MUCH LOVE TO YOU EVERYONE.
I HOPE TO BE ABLE TO READ WHAT'S BEEN GOING ON WITH ALL YOU WONDERFUL PEOPLE. I REALLY HAVE LOST TOUCH WITH EVERYTHING THAT HAS BEEN GOING ON. I SURELY HOPE EVERYONE IS OK.

IF YOU TOOK TIME OUT OF YOUR BUSY MORNING TO READ THIS THANK YOU, IF NOT I DON'T BLAME YOU AS WE ARE ALL IN SOME SORT OF PAIN, MONEY TROUBLES OR WHAT HAVE YOU AND NO ONE LIKES A DOWNER.

I WOULD LIKE TO THANK MY GHOST TYPER FOR TAKING THERE TIME FOR ME.

THANK U SO MUCH.

Janine and my Cali friends,

Thanks so much for the wonderful shout out Janine, we're so lucky to have you brighten our mornings everyday with such wit and recognition.

I wanted to wish all of my new OH friends/family a wonderful New Year's.  It's going to be a great New Years for me, although I am challenging things already with this bronchitis 10 days before surgery.  Good news is that the surgeon just called back and said to keep the pre-op appt and the final decision on the date will be made Friday.  I am feeling confident.

Hope everyone has a great Tuesday.  I am off to get fingers and toes spiffied up and pick up antibiotics.

Toodles for now,
Barb

Good Morning, and wishes for a Happy New Year Janine and Everyone!

I know I only lurke/post every-now-and-then... but, try to not stay away too long. Janine your shout-outs are amazing. You must take notes? Or, you've got a great memory!

I want to take this opportunity to acknowledge and thank you for your dedication to the board... I can tell your morning posts are appreciated. Also thank you for starting the Mystery Boxes. I enjoyed participating - still waiting for the Christmas one, though. And, starting the Secret Santas... I had a great Santa - Josie C..

2008 was a fabulous year for me. I met and have shared it with the most wonderful man. I still keep pinching myself and saying "wow - this is how it's suppose to be." In terms of weight, I've found some "happy pounds." 2009 is time to get back to basics and exercise. We've got our bikes and our walking trails.

Wishing everyone all the best in 2009...

- Patty
