What's New Wednesday?
I am safely back in Chicago at my daughters house. We are going to hang out today as a family of 3. Just me,Carl, and Liz. Jared Liz boyfriend is going with his mom and brother out to lunch and a movie. We are also going to a Middle Eastern restaurant with our friend.
Should me a nice day just family.
Carl and I are leaving for home on Monday or maybe Sunday. Depending on what the day will bring.
The weather is gloomy and it is supposed to rain again today. YUK.....
We went to Shipshawana for dinner on our way back from Nans. It was fun walking around.
Well Hump days is here so I am going to go and start my day.

Yesterday afternoon I submitted a resume to Yale Med School for an Admin. Asst. We'll see if I get a call on it. My company has had multiple lay-offs and the future is uncertain. I'd rather make the move myself with choices rather than wait until it's a necessity.
I have two week to get some things done around the house in preparation for my sister's 25th wedding anniversary party being held here.
Didn't go to the concert last night . . . it rained buckets. Tomorrow night I'm going to my sister's for tea and see her pictures from her cruise to Bermuda. My Mom and my other sisters are coming too. It should be fun.
Still struggling to keep my eating under control. I'm not taking enough me time to go walk or exercise. Heck, I haven't even taken the time to shave my legs so I can go get a pedicure.
Well gonna go fill up my water bottle.
Take care,
Bev
The nurse is suppose to be coming any time. I have to tell her a few things and then it will be business as usual. Just the same old stuff but a different day...at least this week.
My doctor's appointment with my GP went fairly well. My bone scan came back and it went down a bit. Last year it was -1 and this year it was -1.5 so she started me on Fossamax. I took the first one this morning. She gave me the option to either start the meds now or wait and see what next year brings. I told her that since it consistently goes down each year and there is so much Osteoporosis in my family I thought it best to start the medication for it now. She agreed and hence the new medication. She did give me a script for Cleosin again...the 4th round of antibiotic. I am so depressed about that...I am tired of taking this stuff. I haven't taken the first one yet since I kind of figured out that the bad abdominal pain that I have had most of the time is from the Cleosin. I saw that on the paper...I should have read it better the first 3 times. ha ha I am afraid to start it. The doctor told me that yes the PA for Stanish was right on the fact that it is the same bacteria that everyone carries on their skin but she said that she doesn't agree with the fact that there is not another antibiotic since the bacteria is in an open wound. I get that...just let me take another one. I know that the list of allergies is long for antibiotics but she wrote me out a script for Erythromycin and the drug store said that there was an allergy to it and called for another one....hence the Cleosin. I told the pharmacy that I did not have an allergy to it that I could remember. The pharmacist mentioned some of the meds that it is...no allergy to any of them. But...I got the Cleosin still. Oh well..if I must take it I must but just don't want to. It has so many serious side effects...I want no more of it unless I don't have a choice. I will keep making my voice heard...that is the only thing I can do for now.
I got a phone call last night from Carla....she asks what I am doing and I told her nothing. She said to meet her at Starbucks.....so in the car I go and meet her and Carl. We had coffee and talked a bit and I saw pictures from Nan's house this past week end. It sure sounds like everyone had a great time. And Nan....your yard is simply beautiful...and so peaceful. I wish that I had gone but I know that my choice to stay home was for the best for me. A person has to do what she has to do....even if you don't like it all the time.
It is dreary here today. So cloudy and drab looking. I know that they are saying that we are having rain. I guess that is alright...like it would stop it if I said different. I do have to do some grocery shopping so if it would wait until I get the groceries in the house that would be a good thing.
I gotta go..have a great Hump Day and know that I am sending love and hugs to all along with prayers for everyone being said. Share your happiness and you and others will benefit from it....it will come back to bring more happiness to you.
It's not what you gather, but what you scatter
that tells what kind of life you have lived.
I realized today that if I keep wishing my week away, I also get older faster!! -- So I decided to do something productive (in addition to going to work).
I signed up for a knitting class today. Class starts tomorrow night. Now that I have a new grandbaby due in February, I want to knit a baby blanket. My mother taught me to knit when I was young and I do knit well enough to do a scarf--but my talent ends there. I decided I wanted to learn to knit really well so I can start making things for the grandchildren and some of my grand neices and nephews. They have some beutiful yarns out and I can't wait to get started. I'll keep you posted of my progress.
Have a good day.

made a beef roast for supper last night and man was it ever good!!! rick said "hun you make the best roast ever!!" awww he is so sweet!!!! so tonight i am going to try to make his spaghetti recipe for him. not sure if it will be as good but i am going to try!!!
talked with diane (ricks mom) and she said nicole (ricks daughter) changed her mind about "visiting" for a few days. rick said he knew she would...she doesn't like rules to follow...her mother ( if thats what you want to call her) lets her do whatever she wants to and that is why she has a baby at a young age. lord knows rick has tried to get her to stay with him but she won't because of the rules he sets for her.
well time to get the meatballs ready and then the sauce so off i go....hope you all have a good day!!!
