Welcome to Tuesday. What's new with you?

Hope all goes well with Nic. Things are not well with Bruce ... he has a PET scan this week, and he's not expecting positive results, as he has not been doing anything and is not feeling well. He is considering going to sit in the sun in Hawaii or Tahiti. He's only 56. Also, a college friend now has non-Hodgkins lymphoma, early stages.

I hate cancer. It takes so many.

Eileen...this horrible cancer monster needs to be stopped!!

My heart goes out to you and your friends!!

Thanks for the prayers for my sweet Nic...it means so much.

Hugs...connie d

well we got about an inch of snow last night into this morning...its cold too!!! 30 with wind chill of 18 BRRRR

made my turkey pot pie for supper last night...rick loved it!!! made me feel good he has another food i make that he likes!!! he is so picky on how food is made...grrrrr so much easier to make food when he isn't around to see what is put into it!!! LOL

got a few more christmas things out and its starting to look like christmas in here...just wish he would let me put his MARK MARTIN nascar stuff away so i have more room to display things...sighs....

went to walgreens last night and got rick 5 tshirts for $10 bucks...he needs them for work shirts...the ones he wears are sooo full of oil makes it look like he wears dirty shirts every day!!!! these i bought are all black so maybe it will hide the oil better???

got a couple loads of laundry done yesterday while i was off...need to do the towels yet and the jeans...got back from picking rick up at work and lo and behold someone got the washer and dryer so i couldn't finish my laundry...grrrrr for only 6 of us here someone sure hogs the washer and dryer alot!!!!! me thinks if they do their laundry and it sits done for over 1/2 hour i will take their clothes out and put on top of dryer so i can use the machines!!!!! how rude of them!!!! gezzzz

i am feeling better today...not depressed...maybe its because rick loved me last night...sorry TMI lol but it sure made me feel better!!! maybe its what i needed huh??

got my dates and walnuts yesterday also...tomorrow i make my date and nut cookies. then i am finished making cookies. still have lots of the cutout cookies here and will box them up for gifts to friends.

poor bandit needs a bath and a haircut again....he is getting so bushy and tangled up and he hates getting brushed!!! sooo guess he will get his hair cut off short and then he will HAVE to wear his sweater when he goes outside!!!! he hates that also!!! oh well he will be warm atleast...

the burn on my hand is still sore...took the bandaid off last night and it was stuck to the wound...ouch!!! pulled it off and oh yeah it bled...got it stopped and applied some burn slave and another bandaid to it. boy did it ever sting!!! rick said i need an ove glove...yeah i guess...dam pizza oven!!! just have to pay closer attention to it when i am cleaning crumbs under it!!!

turned in my request for the early shift on the 26th and also for the 27th and 28th off so i can go back to michigan to see my mom. hopefully i can get it off and there isn't a snow storm!!! or ice!! can't really afford to stay at a motel but i guess the credit card will be used....sighs...i guess it will have to be a gift to my mom that she sees me again...i know thats bad on my part calling it a gift to her but i have to do what i have to do so i can go see her right? rick said he isn't sure if he will get a cash bonus or not but if he does we will use that. i don't get cash bonus from my job...oh well.

well i rattled on long enough here better get a shower in and get my mess cleaned up before i go to work today. thanks for being here to listen to me rattle on and on....

love and hugs to all

So sorry to hear that things are not doing so well.

I had my own little mess last night.  My daughter is here helping me (she is mentally challenged) and was doing laundry.  She went to put things in the dryer and dropped something down the lint trap when she was cleaning it.  Then she went to turn it on and it wouldn't stay on.  So DH went to pull it out from the wall and we realized it wasn't connected to the outside.  About 6" of lint was collected behind there.  What a mess!!  Had to clean up before we could even figure out what was inside  - it was a sock.  Took about an hour to clean and reconnect BUT it WORKED!!
What a relief - a service  call would have been so expensive.

My prayers will continue to be with you and your family as well.

Hello George and friends!

George, I'll keep you in my prayers that everything will get better with your situation! Things seem to always work out for the best eventually. It's hard to believe that at times but I've found it to be true in my life.

HUGS to everyone today!!! I need lots of warm hugs..BRRRRRR IT"S SO COLD HERE TODAY!!!

You know we are here for you George. Family..sometimes all we can do is love them.
This will be quick, I have to participate in the interviews for the new nurse, the first one starts in 15 minutes. Marc made me think, who ever we pick, there will be 3 others who will feel rejected. I will do my best to make each and every person interviewed to feel good about themselves. So here Ihave to spend who knows how many days in interviews and I have a pile of work on my desk. Mine and the nurses. Chris left me the nicest note when she left on Friday( her last day) It said I had been her calming base, Wow. That was such a nice thing to hear after how bi*chy she had been that last couple of weeks.I was fine until I read it then I sat here and cried for 15 minutes, but no time to cry now ,too much work. I got notified that my Dell has been sent, Yipee! Yesterday I went out and bought a remote mouse and a brand new addition of Print Shop.
Well director was just here with info on our first interview so I am off. Have a blessed day.

Hi George and my OFF family:

Sorry things aren't going well with your family. Yeah, sometimes listening to others' problems helps one realize yours aren't so bad. I hear ya. There's a woman I work with, she's a part-time clerk in the features department, she sets the type for the schedules, etc. She donates plasma to make ends meet, like I used to, like Margo does. She has another part-time job as a massage therapist, but that hasn't been doing well lately as people are cutting back and not getting massages. Anyway, the plasma place has her on deferral right now because her protein is low, so for the past month she hasn't been able to donate. She is worried about being able to pay bills. I sure understand her problems, I worry about that every month ... and I wish I could donate plasma again and get that $240 a month. Made a big difference in my budget. She's worried if her protein level isn't up on this recent SPE test (the test that shows protein levels, etc.) she'll be permanently deferred. She really depends on this. I have been giving her some ideas to get extra protein into her diet ... the protein balls, protein drinks, the turkey roll-ups, etc. She isn't even a WLS person, but she has problems getting protein into her diet.

I too have a sick kitty ... but at least now Diva is not pooping on the cat tower ... that's because she is denied access to it. And today, Rick, my former ceramics teacher's hubby, is coming by to pick it up and take it away. When I get some money, I'll look around and maybe by another. I got this one for about $99 from eBay ... I had to assemble it, but it was pretty easy. Rick also might take the old recliner. I couldn't even donate it because it's broken. So Rick said he can burn it in the wood stove. At least it'll keep them warm.

I want to get out and try to get my outdoor decorations up today. It's not snowing but it is windy. Tomorrow, it's supposed to be even worse. Crappy weather this week. I should have gotten them up on Saturday, when it was nice, but I was running around.

Well, have a nice day.
