Thursday....what's new?????
i'm up again before 4 am...kindof a good thing..i lost steam last evening early so gave in and went 'to bed'---yea right!!!!my bed is covered in Christmas to wrap and paper etc so laid on the couch--well-at about 11; we (roxie,brody and i) moved to the floor in the computer room..only i didn't make a "pallet" under me-gosh i hurt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
coffee is just brewed and my cup is calling...i'll come back to talk about my non productive day!
talk away...........
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.

okay! coffee in my cup and roxie attached to my hip..did you know that lil white cocapoos can actually turn green??????goodness, if she were any greener ; i'd think about using the lawn mower on her!!!! she and brody have had no rest except when i have because they get up to follow me every single time i walk out of a room; be it to carry a box to the pile to go to garage or simply to put something somewhere else....then; when lying down to attempt sleep, roxie is right there blocking so brody can't get comfy or near to me....no harsh sounds, no arguing...just roxie is green with jealousy that he has come back..and i think they both feel unsecurity during this packing process!!!!even tho she went with us to the new place..unknown is scary!!!!
jan; if i actually got anything done each day that i have told you all i'm packing, we'd have moved months ago!!!! my phone kept ringing yesterday, i had dogs underfeet, i was hungry, i was thirsty, i had to potty,,,,
however; i did actually make some real progress...had wanted to be done with back bedroom before bedtime but the whole day was so screwy....when i get done here that will be my task.and this morning i need better discipline to get outta here earlier!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
michael had a large bowl of grumpy flakes for breakfast yesterday so our one phone conversation was NOT pleasant....i'll pick him up today.....
meeting the ex tonite after supper-hope i can stay awake long enuff !
tomorrow, our cable goes off so i can return the boxes and clickers-not sure if i'll be online at all in the morning--and have not made arrangements for internet at the new place, so today may be "it" for awhile!!!!!truck gets picked up at 430 and the loading begins!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
will fill you in as i can...
hugs and prayers...

Good morning Margo, Irishcoda, and OFF friends,
Good luck with your move, Margo. Sounds like a lot of work and I hope you get settled soon. You certainly have your plate full with Michael coming home today and moving. Good luck!!!!
Not too much going on today. I'm working, then I'll practice my piano lesson, and then wrap the gifts I bought yesterday.
Have a great day everyone!
Merry Christmas!

Good morning! I thought to check in before starting my "busy" day, LOL!
Margo, best wishes with your move! You're brave doing this a week before Christmas!
Yesterday, we got a lovely handmade Christmas card from George & Mary. How beautiful and extra special because it's hand made! I wish I had that kind of talent. :)
Also yesterday, we went to the hand surgeon so the stitches could be removed from my DH's left wrist. He had carpal tunnel surgery 2 weeks ago. After that was a stop at the post office so we could send off the rest of our Christmas cards and the gifts for the grandkiddies in TN. This year, I got the three older kids journals--hope they like them. My journal was a big deal to me when I was a teenager. These guys have gone through so much this year.
We were supposed to go grocery shopping so I could start baking for the holidays but I have this annoying head cold and so instead we just came home and I slept for about 3 hours. My DH ended up making dinner, LOL.
Hope everyone has a terrific Thursday!
Good morning Margo and OFF family!
Well I went to see my friend Joan yesterday after work. She is like my mom. I totally love her and she just helped me though so many life challenges that came my way; my divorce, my relationship with a con man after my divorce whom I met at church. He took advantage of heavy women and lived off them...he was my rebound relationship. I learned so much from this woman, she truly is God's servant here on earth.
Joan is going home soon to her Lord, she is ready to die. Her cancer came back and she fought it for several years. She's also on dialysis and she now wants to stop dialysis but is having a hard time with hubby who is pushing her to continue. Hospice is now involved so I assume they will tell Joan it's now time to stop. I did encourage her to stop also and she said she is ready to go home. She asked me if I could see changes in her, she said she is starting to get "crotchety"...told her she is entitled to that feeling. Joan is trying to stay alive til her grandson Trav gets here from Miami which will be next week. I don't think she will make it that long. I told her Trav would understand. It was a hard talk but I was able to tell her I loved her and thanked her for being my rock. Now I have to be her rock.
We ended our visit with me saying a prayer from the heart. I know her hubby and his sister were listening to us in the kitchen. When I left her hubby said for me to come back anytime, he is scared. They have been married for 53 years....or is it 54 now!
Last night I sat in my hot tub, looking up at the stars and finally finding my peace. The stars were so bright last night and such a wonderful gift from God. Stars shining brightly at night...it really is beauty at it's finest. The sunrise this morning was beautiful too, lots of pinks and purples and it's free to look at!!!
Let's all take time for ourselves today. To be thankful, to slow down and just listen. To find Peace.

I was so moved by what you wrote about your dear friend Joan.
I hope she is not in pain and that you find comfort in all your wonderful memories.
I think I'll look up at the stars tonight and try to find some peace too.....
Best wishes
Ruth
I find comfort in old memories. We use to go line dancing and dance all night. I brought up all those wonderful memories and she was so with it last night when we were talking. I will continue to concentrate on the good memories and when she was healthy and actually living life to her fullest. Today she is just a tiny shell of a woman, no energy but still a sparkle in her eyes.
Yes, tonight let all of us look up into the sky and look at the stars. Find peace!
