What's new Thursday?
Hey Hernia Queen, what did yours feel like? Scooter jumped on my lower belly, around my belly button, this afternoon and hit a hard spot that really hurt ... and it's hurt ever since. I had a hernia before, an umbilical one, before I had WLS ... this is to the right of that and lower. It doesn't feel like that one, it's not pooching at all, just a hard spot that hurts a lot.

Good morning Eileen and my other OFF siblings. I hope that today is nice and warm and sunny for everyone.
It is cloudy here but I am hoping that is just because it is early and the sun will be shinning later on. It is suppose to be in the 80's today but I am not sure of that. Sometimes I think that the weather people know less than we do about the weather. It is like I always say...just a bit of difference in the wind and what they say is outta here.
I go and sit and talk to my Pastor this morning. The office manager called me the other night and told me that she just has a strange feeling about him and she is concerned. She wanted to call me and let me know since she knew that I would devise a way to get some information out of him. Something is bothering him and he and I have a good relationship...which helps with me being the chair of the Pastor Parish Relations Committee. I hope that nothing happens with the way that things are now....we are so blessed to have him with us. I am not sure if something happened or if he is just tired..he has put in so many hours and there has been so many deaths in the church since he came...that might be what is affecting him too. I shall see. I hope that I accomplish my mission.
I go see the doctor this afternoon. The nurses and I tend to agree with them, feel that I need to be on a low dose anti biotic for a while. I was having some pain there last night but there was a lot of swelling too so that might have been part of it. My regular nurse is off for the rest of the week (she worked Monday and then is off) and the nurse that came yesterday cleaned it really good, but then again they all do. I know that Erica mentioned some kind of cream that he can give me to help with that too.
I will keep you posted on how the appointment goes.
There is a little girl missing from NW Indiana. Her babysitter which is the mother's cousin, left her in a the car at a gas station to get milk. It was 9:30 at night and she was in, of all places, Gary. You never leave anything in a car unlocked in the city of Gary, IN!!!!!!!! Heck there is nothing sacred around that place. Everything is up for the taking there. The US Marshal's have joined the search for her now too. I don't understand why there wasn't an Amber Alert put out when she disappeared but they said that it didn't meet the guidelines for it. A little child is missing...what other guidelines does it take? The police is focusing on the cousin and her boyfriend for some reason...they of course won't tell the reasons. I pray that they find her and she is alive and well but I feel in my heart and soul that she isn't. She is just the cutest little thing. Her name is Jada Justice, so if you could keep her in prayers and good thoughts I would appreciate it. I know that her parents are probably going insane right now.
I better get to going. I got the dishwasher going and would like to do a few other things before getting ready to start my busier than normal day. I am looking forward to getting out with people....wow what a pity is this....
I am sending love and hugs to all along with prayers for you all being said. I know that you are going to plant your seeds of happiness and joy today while you are all out and about...they really do grow and bring so much happiness to those around us. It helps us too...just spreading the great things in our life to others.

It's not what you gather, but what you scatter
that tells what kind of life you have lived.
Eileen,
Death is never easy. When our close family members die, especially if we have watched them suffer, sometimes we are relieved for their pain to end; however, when a friend just dies, sometimes we are shocked. Sometimes, to shocked to even grieve. Hopefully, your friend didn't suffer.
Margo, don't you hate people who are always trying to tell you what you need to do. My sister told me to have the vet put my kitty to sleep. She thinks it's awful that I spend so much money on her allergy treatment. No way.
Today, I am going to pick up a travel check for my trip. I am going to a major university to get some insight into the way they run their afterschool literacy programs. Hopefully, I will get some good ideas to implement in the delta. The rest of the day is my usual, reading, writing, and wishing I had more time in the day to research. Only two more papers left to write and I am good until August. Yes, I think I can, I think I can...chooo. chooo.

No, that was San Francisco and I didn't go there because I got really sick. I did, however, go to Oakland a few months later on an invitation from the head of the literacy project there. My visit to San Francisco was going to include a trip to Oakland, but I sent my paper to be presented by a colleague. I hated missing it. That was the trip I was going to meet up with you. I am looking into another conference there in the early spring; I will let you know and we can meet somewhere.
Aloha OFF friends...........I'm being a lazy bum this morning....still in my nightgown (8:00 a.m.) and I'm not planning on going anywhere today. Some days I love to just be alone, to read, to watch TV, to putter and not to even talk on the phone. There IS a hermit living inside this body trying to get out!! LOL.....I'm trying not to let her take over completely, but some days, like today, I'm going to go with it.
I wonder if any of you have someone in your life who just talks too much. My ex-husband........with whom I have a very good relationship, can drive me up the wall when we get on the telephone together. He is a rambler and can literally talk for two hours if I let him about every little detail in his life. The first half hour is always good....catching up on news of each other's lives, but then (happened last night), he will get on a roll and I find myself just going "uh huh" over and over til I want to scream. IT ALWAYS deteriorates to the point that I have to get rude and we end up mad at the end. I have told him we need a signal of some sort that will let him know I'm talked out and want to get off the phone. This is one BIG reason we broke up. He's a really great guy, but he so loves to hear himself talk that it just simply drove me crazy. So, this morning I'm feeling guilty about how pissed I had to get before we hung up. Anyone have a suggestion for ending a one-sided conversation that the other person thinks is fascinating? Sorry to blather on about this....but it is what is on my mind this morning.
Here's hoping you all have a good day, and that something happy happens to make you laugh out loud.
