ITS TUESDAY...WHATS NEW WITH YOU....
good morning!!!!!!!
did that sound convincing??????????????????? i think i need some convincing this morning! i know i sure need lots more than coffee and protein and B12 to get self moving here!!!!!
the house offer: the ppl who made the offer called friday nite wanting to see the house at 10 am saturday-NOPE! not after the day michael had on friday and was already cleaning for 1 pm showing- so they came at 130-they had to wait to get in cuz 1pm folks were late- so --they make this totally unacceptable offer --ok - we'll play the game--we countered - we are now on the second counter and i wish we could cinch it before we lose them--their logic is that --they sold a house in florida and lost their shirts and their shoes and so we are sposed to give them this one...sorry! doesn't work that way! the compassionate part of me IS sorry that happened to them-the homeowner/mortgage payor says "not my problem".... we are not being unreasonable about our money-we would like to find a middle ground....
so--
michael is still fighting this whole thing (move etc!!! cuz it's NOT TO HAWAII)and so now he is on the couch (vs in bed) saying "i gave dianne her instructions..sign the papers get someone in here and get us moved out"--and acting like he is going to die the minute his feet hit michigan soil. i'm sensing some histrionics here-and it's a real mood dampener for me--6 ft tall 70 year old long haired male drama queens are not my idea of 4 am on tuesday morning!
i really truly would like to simply get the house sold so our credit is not trashed any further and get moved on ...just move on...refresh any energies left in our hearts and minds and bodies and regroup....he is making this so challenging that i considered taking roxie and going home with mom today when she leaves and just ...well- i can't!more histrionics and drama won't solve anything....
however....it's tiring..
who knows what today will bring on this real estate deal????? they are wanting to close on nov 25th--yes! NEXT wednesday-and 3 wee****upancy-doable in my book- just get to the $ spot that works.
ok- sorry-nuff! thanks for listening.
i was so excited to read last nite that our boy dillinger is going home and is well thru his surgery!!!! prayers for him laureen!!!!
marti; i'm sorry- i was gone over the weekend and have not read your posts about your p. a. 's--i have had only a few in my life and they are petrifying so i can certainly imagine what you went thru and will read later--love and prayers kiddo!!! but; i hope you know that!
i did read yesterday's thread before i went to bed and wanted to comment to ppl- just couldn't get the energy to think straight and type---
mom and i packed up a few things but nothing like we needed to to fill her car! so she considers it gas wasted to have an empty "vessel' ...i understand but not enough hours in the day!
michael's knee was so swollen yesterday that he cancelled shoulder PT --AFTER he drove me to work to have the car...we went to his doc appt and it was really a waste of time-see ya in 6 months....he does NOT appreciate the fact he has any insurance and CAN go to the doctors.....
so-today MY plan is to go to work at 6 am - get off at 3 and come home to crash for some -hopefully!- sleep....and start all over again.
sorry i'm rambling-have just really missed all y'all!!!!
and i wish i were caught up on everyone's life but i am not---too absorbed in my own....i feel like such a bad friend.......
eileen...it was midnite friday nite when i hit grand rapids!!! and i thought about our hopes to have met for coffee as i tooled on by! i know you were at your brother's so it was moot point!!!!
hope everyone has a good day today--i'm sending hugs and prayers.............

I get up every morning determined to both change the world and have one hell of a good time. Sometimes this makes planning my day difficult.

Margo, I can certainly empathize with you on the $$$ issue. Like I said, we took a beating and then the house didn't even appraise for what we agreed on, and we had to take another $3,500 (I think) cut in the price. When it's all done an over, yes, we're sad we had to take so much less, but what a relief to be out from under. I'll pray that you can agree on a price and that the house will appraise for that much.
Can't wait for lunch with you and Nan!

Margo,
Thanks for your thinking of me and Dillinger. I sure hope that you can get out of this house stuff with a decent offer and even in the midst of your story, your sense of humor came through, I love how you described Michael (lol), though I know living with him, while you certainly love him, can be tough with all that you've been through. Anyway, I don't think you rambled, you got off a lot of what has been going on, as you've not had time to do so and I for one was wondering what all was happening. . .
Anyway, I hope you have (had) a good day as well and that things turn out the way they need to in a hurry to set you free.
Hugs, Laureen

Margo, yes, I was in Wisconsin Friday at midnight, sound asleep and dreaming of hitting the road Saturday morning to come back to Michigan.
Sorry about the house offer. I dread putting my condo on the market and seeing what I can get for it, knowing what the condos have sold for lately.
I can emphatize with Michael's swollen knee ... mine was pretty bad by the time I got to Gary's after driving for six hours and then by the time I drove home Saturday again. Sorry he isn't being cooperative about the move to Michigan.

Good Morning Judy, George, Margo & those of you who come after. . .
Been a while since you started the thread Judy and it's always nice when one of the other "regular" posters gets a turn, which is not to say it's not nice to see the ones that are up late start it either, just I know when I get the chance, it is sort of exciting, nice to get those e-mails about what is going on in each person's life, etc. . .
That whole situation with your job really stinks, especially since you are a good worker and seem to like the job overall, sad that companies don't find it in their code of ethics to reward good employees with giving them the benefits that keep them happy and thereby creating an environment of good will, but especially nowadays, it seems they can do what they want, because if you've got a job, you better damn sure be grateful to have it. . .
Well in case you are wondering why I am up at this hour, actually been up since 4:18, Dillinger is having a tough time, not in the sense of anything really wrong, but he is having a tough time getting up and around, it is his right front paw that had the surgery, the weight bearing part of him and then because of all the anesthia and whatnot, he is not getting up too easily, so he has woken me up whining several times last night. I'm trying to get him to eat something so I can give him his meds, but up to now he is not wanting anything, I will keep trying. Also trying to get him to go out and do potty, which he has not done since we got home last night at 5:15. Getting him in and then out of the car was a nightmare, as he was weak, but I managed, took about 20 minutes to get him out of the car when we got home and he was so punchy, I felt awful, then he had to go up the stairs, he made it in the front door and collapsed as he had used all his strenght, so I petted him and brought out some chopped turkey meat that I had cooked up for him on Sunday and after a while I got him to get out of the doorway onto a bed I made for him out of foam crate material and lawn chair pillows, where he slept until we went to bed, oh and I took the old mattress and put it on the floor in my living room for us to sleep on, because I did not want him to feel alone, so I guess until he can navigate things better the mattress will stay there. . . I am not nuts, I just love my dog and want him to be as comfortable as possible. Overall, he is doing well, it's just the initial part of this. . . and then there is the bill, I nearly choked when they gave me the total, as he had similar surgery two years ago on a back paw and it cost half of yesterday's bill, he has cost me $10,000 this year and while I paid off a part of the other event, I fear now that I will be in debt for a very long time, the pet insurance gave me about 35% of the other event, I hope they give me the 80% on this one that I got on the one he had 2 years ago, my credit cards are higher than I am comfortable with and here I just purchased the furniture for the new part of the house, I think a second job is in my future, because I just cannot live with owing this sort of money. For every bill I cut in some fashion another one that can't be cut goes up in such a fashion as to make me feel like I make less money than when I bought my house 6 years ago, gas, heating, real estate taxes and raises in the last 3 years have certainly not kept up with anything, not to mention the job I have now I am bringing home similar to what I had, but I have not begun contributing to my retirement, which will mean at least $500 less a month. . . yup a 2nd job, that's what is coming. . .
Sorry I went on and on here, but I guess I am feeling the after effects of yesterday and very little sleep and I want to stay home and be with Dillinger today, but I can't get a day off this week because it is a small office and things need to get done, so I guess I am frustrated. . . anyway, this too shall pass. . . when I think of everything others are facing, mine are luxury problems.
I wish you all a good day and the strength to get through whatever life presents you with,
Hugs, Laureen

Laureen, I am so glad Dillinger is better.I can understand the bill though. We have 3 dogs, but they are are babies. One was sick a few weeks ago. He was losing blood vomiting & the other end. Of course on a sat. My DH didn't care, & took him right in. All is good now. Hopefully it will be with Dillinger too.
Judy, thanks for starting the thread today. Good luck with your vacation. I know how important it is to be with family.
Grammy, I love your stories about your grandchildren. Mine are just now starting to become teenagers, & I love it!
Well today I have an eye appt. It's been over 3 years. I love to read so it is time. Hope you all have a great day!

A Rottie (mix), looks like his mother and she was a full Rott. Actually a picture or two of me on my profile with him.

Hi Laureen:
I understand about spending on your furbaby. I had to spend lots on Kittle when I was in Georgia and he was diabetic. My mom said, "Why don't you just put him to sleep?" I said, "How would you like it if you were diabetic and we put you to sleep?" She didn't like that. Then a few years later, she did become diabetic.
Kittle lived a few years after that and I took care of him with insulin and testing ... it was expensive but less so because I did the testing at home. I brought his diabetes under control. Then he became hyperthyroid, and so did Cinnamon. We do what we can for our furbabies, because they are our children.
I'm glad Dill is doing OK. It's nice that you can give him a bed on the floor with you.
