Good Morning OFF! What's New Wednesday?
Good morning to you, Karen and my other OFFer's. Today is hump day and I hope that it goes well for everyone...including me! ha ha
Today is going to be hot and humid. It just wouldn't be summer here if we didn't have the humidity. It is weather like this that makes me hate living here. I have lived here for 55 years and I for sure don't see me moving from here...ever. Not that I wouldn't like to but I still just don't see it.
The doctor appointments went well yesterday. The I.D. doctor did the same thing yesterday that she did the last week. She cleaned it well (with what looked like a steel crochet hook...honest!) and then they packed it with medicated packing. No one touches it for a week and I still can't get it wet...so no showers in my future for a bit i do think. I told her about the antibiotic problem and she said that she isn't going to put me on one now since she wants to save what tummy I have as she said. The I.D. doctor said that the wound looks good and there is no sign of infection...all good news. I do have some gastritis from all of them but I will live through that. The pcp said that she was glad that I got into the I.D. doctor and she is taking good care of me. Now I have an appointment to see her again in 2 weeks and then after that we are going back to once a month again...so things seems to going in the right direction.
Bill is having problems at work. I mean nothing big and major but the field manager is working on throwing his weight around. He likes to do that and he just makes a lot of people VERY angry. I can't stand people who think they have to throw their weight around to make them feel like a big person....when you have to do that you are never going to be a big person...you will always be small no matter what you do. At least this is my own personal opinion. I can't stand him...I haven't met him but talked to him several times on the phone and he doesn't impress me one iota!
I am planning on staying home and doing some work around here and reading too. I am on my 3rd book this week. This one I just started..."Back to Promise" by Debbie Macomber...this one is different but I just started reading it so I have to give it a chance. It is getting a bit better....
I better get going. I am sending big hugs and lots of love to everyone and prayers are being said for all today too. Have a great one and don't forget to scatter...it is in scattering we gather!

It's not what you gather, but what you scatter
that tells what kind of life you have lived.
Good Morning, All
I'm up. Not awake yet, but up. I worked till midnight last night, had a harrowing ride home in a thunderstorm (including hail, go figure), and hit the bed about 1:30 am. Woke at 7:30 to the sound of the neighbor's new puppy, tied outside again, yapping its ass off. Same thing as last Saturday, the last day I would have been able to sleep in. Why do people get pets if they can't take the time to spend with them? Being tied outside alone every day from 7am-5pm is cruel for a little puppy. Not to mention for the neighbors. I live outside town for the quiet. Not this week, I guess...
Had trouble again falling asleep, which is unusual for me. I usually sleep like a rock. A nap is hovering on the horizon for the afternoon. I can feel it.
I got home to a couple messages from dear Thelma, and a call this morning, long after the yapping started. Just a little chat on her way to work, but it offset the negative vibes from the neighbor's puppy. Today is a free day, nothing much planned. (Other than the nap). I have some phone calls to make, then think I may vege on the deck and read for a while. Gonna try to put up some produce given to me. Free is good.
I hope everyone has a great day, and stays cool. It's gonna be a scorcher here today, for about the third time all summer. It'll probably rain later. Again. Sigh. At least I won't have to water the gardens.

Good Wednesday morning everyone! Whew,,is this week flying by or what? I guess I lost a day hanging out in that hospital waiting room waiting for that great grandbaby to be born.
Im really tired today, went to bed early cause I was worn out from sleeping in that waiting room, on that very uncomfortable recliner. I learned that I am really 62 years old and cant do that kind of stuff anymore!! Im paying for it today! Achey and tired still, and I went to bed at midnight and slept till 9.
Today is another busy day. Gotta stop by the sisters and checl on her,,she wants me to help move her bed and computer desk. Now, this is the sister that I found on the internet after searching for 24 years. She was living in a one room apartment, has slept on an old broken down couch for 10 years. Now we have her moved into a beautiful one bedroom apartment,,everyone gave her nice stuff to furni**** She feels like Cinderella! So, she has decided she will sleep in a bed afterall..and wants her bedroom rearranged so her backis agains the wall. I found her a used computer too, and she is gonna learn how to use it, then we will get her the internet.
Its so much fun watching her come out of her shell,,she has met all her new neighbors, its a retirement community. She cooks meals and makes bread,,she is having a ball. And we are together almost every day, making up for lost time!
Then Im running up to the hospital to see that baby again. His mommy called and asked me if I was coming up today,,that he wants to see his great mamaw! LOL
Im gonna do some exercises first,,to a dvd..its looking like rain here again. It stormed yesterday and the power was out for a long time. I have a hard time making myself exercise, but I have new motivation. I go back to the doc on the 31st, and I want to have some weight off. All my labs came back good,,and Im sheduled for a colonoscopy and a bone density test too. Wanna get the all clear,,I have been wondering about it all.
Well, its off to get dressed and drag out the ole Sweatin with the Oldies dvd....it worked before,,it will work again, if I work it! LOL
Have a great day everyone!

Hi Karen and my OFF family:
Everyone seems to have had problems sleeping last night. I slept OK on and off last night, Scooter snuggling in my arms, but I kept waking up. Finally got up just before 9 a.m. when the phone rang. I had the alarm set for 9:30 anyway because the air conditioning guy was coming over. Yup, my air conditioner wasn't cooling yesterday. It was on, and air was coming out, but the temp wasn't going down. It wasn't overly hot, but it was humid yesterday afternoon, and when I go to work, I close up the windows just in case it rains and I like to put the air on for the kitties. Well, I couldn't do that yesterday. The A/C is under warranty (got it installed in 2007, found the warranty yesterday, five years for parts), so I called the place. They had called me to ask if they could come a little earlier. Well, I'm up, come on over. So the guy is outside now fixing it. It's still going to cost me for labor, unfortunately. Not something I can afford. Probably have to take it out of some bill I wanted to pay.
Work was kind of slow yesterday. Sports is doing most of its pages on the new system and seem to be doing OK. The tech guy from the company was out and nosing around last night; he came by just as I was having an issue and actually helped me solve it. So now I know what to do when that happens again. It was an election night, too, and I had to update the chart; it used to be one of our metro editors would do that and that would be it, but with the metro editors on the old system, and us on the new system, it's a little more difficult. So he had to walk it over to me, I had to put the numbers in, then put the hard copy on the editor's desk.
Yes, George, the White Sox won ... crazy game, starting pitcher had no control, back-and-forth game and won in the 9th with a walk-off single. I stayed up too late to watch it all, one more reason I'm tired this morning.
Well, have a good day.

well off to read a couple more posts then off to get some fruit and then the pool. have a great day everyone and remember to :-)
Good morning Karen and everyone....
I am going to have another crazy work day today. It has started already!! I AM grateful I have a job!
Still battling this depression....starting to want to isolate...not a good sign for me. I will push myself to get through this once again. I think the cold crappy weather is having it's effect on me. It is supposed to warm up today....we will see.
My daughter Carrie is having a rough time. She has to be out of her house on the 18th. A single mother with three kids just couldn't keep up the house payments and the house was foreclosed. She feels so bad. She is one that likes to live up to her commitments. David left and he hasn't paid a dime of that morgage since then. She has tried so hard to keep it together. She did it for almost a year and then lost it anyway. She was having so many mixed feelings last night. We talked for a very long time and she was feeling better. Leaving the house is bitter sweet for all of them.
Guess I better get back to work. Have a nice day everyone.
Prayers to those in need.
Love and hugs to all.....connie d
