It's Wednesday, my week is almost over. WHAT'S NEW WITH YOU?
George, you a certainly a great hubby and Mary knows that she is a lucky woman. You are both good to each other and that is a key to a good and strong marriage. You make a great couple and are most blessed.
Nothing new today. The nurse just called and she is going to be here in a few hours. She has a crazy day today and usually she calls the night before and there wasn't one...and then nutty day so there was something not right along the way. She is off Friday and she asked me if she came tomorrow would Carolyn come on Friday, Saturday and Sunday instead. I have to call her before Erica comes and ask her so I can let Erica know when she gets here.
I go this afternoon for my bone mass density test today. I was at -1 last year and I have no idea what that means..so if someone has any idea could you clue me in on this. I never think to ask the doctor...duh! I don't mind these tests..they are nothing really. The first one I had I just had my arm done and now I get the whole body done. I know that my Mom had osteoporosis and so does my sister and my aunt and some cousins too. So I guess it is safe to say it runs in the family.
It is cloudy here this morning. No sun and so I am sad. I love to see the sun and it helps to make me a bit more perky. It is suppose to be cooler through the end of the week and then this week end it is going to be in the low 80's. It just seems like the weather this summer is strange. Sometimes it is summer and then sometimes it is spring. I don't think that Mother Nature knows what day of the month is..or even what month it is period. She is confused just like the rest of us. Who said that you can't fool Mother Nature was wrong..she is confused big time this year.
I am going....take care of everyone and know that I am sending my love and hugs to all and prayers are being said for everyone. Bring some happiness and joy into someones life by sharing some of yours. I will see ya all later on....
It's not what you gather, but what you scatter
that tells what kind of life you have lived.
Now all I would like to know is about the -1 last year...I should maybe ask the tech about it but I bet she won't tell me anything. But I will try it anyway.

I found a web site the explains the bone density scores:

not much happening kind of day. Rest & relax I think!!
Still on the job front looking, making applications, not receiving any calls or interviews,
hanging on to faith that a job will come my way soon!!
Take care & have a good rest of the week & Hapy 4th to all!!
Quick hello to all! I'm on my way out the door to TOPS,a pedicure a bit later, thrift store shopping. Like I need anything! Got home from Erin's on Monday afternoon and haven't stopped since. About 85 and dry climate here. My perfect temp. But it will be heating up soon. Usually July and August are right around 100 or over. We tend to do our thing in the morning and then get inside when it really starts to sizzle.
Must go. Life is good. Just wanted to say hi.

well i rattled on here long enough and so i am out of here... ;-)
Posting lately has been a "maybe" deal for me. I come on at 6:30 a.m. and there are already 20 posts and I feel like it's all over. But, I thoroughly enjoy reading about each and every one of you, and sometimes I just have to jump in even if no one reads my words.
So many of you are dealing with stress, medical problems, family problems, living problems right now, and I do feel in my "gut" for each of you as I read about your lives. Somehow in the sharing I think we release some of the loneliness in our struggles and it makes them easier to face. I am sometimes blown away with the deep sharing that goes on in here.....and I am moved.
My life in the last few days has been busy, and I have been feeling like my old self........healthy!! This bout with whatever was raging in my body seems to be over and I am so grateful. I think that my having felt so rotten for so long has made me more open and able to identify with those of you struggling with various issues. Funny how life teaches us lessons that we don't know we need to learn!
Yesterday I was back at the hospital with "my babies." For those of you new to OFF, my after-retirement job is as a newborn hearing screener at Maui Memorial Hospital. I had seven new babies yesterday...all so beautiful and dear. One mother was uninsured and I was pretty sure that she was going to skip that day and I NEEDED to test that child's hearing that day. He was only THREE HOURS OLD!! It took a good hour to get a 'PASS" from him because being that new, his little ears still had junk in them and I had to keep reinserting the probe until the pathways were cleared. But, I finally got him to pass and I was sweating from the effort, but so happy that he did. I got in a lot of snugs and hugs and love on these little darlings and that filled my "tutu tank" for awhile since I can't see my own little grandsons for probably another few months.
Today is off and I am thankful for that. Our ocean is smooth this morning and there is no breeze at all. It will be warm today...probably 88....and the surfer dudes and dudettes will be disappointed because there is no surf.
Now I am going to go play in my computer photo album which has around 3000 photos. I took some pictures last night at a little dinner party given by a friend who lives in this building and I want to share them with her while her son is visiting from Las Vegas. She made the best homemade veggie soup I think I've ever had!! Fun evening!
Hope you all have a day with some surprises that are happiness makers. Come in and share.....they make me happy, too.
Aloha nui loa,
Maui Karen
