3 AM Friday Morning--what's new?

Laureen,

Thanks for the information.  I'm going to check out sparkpeople.com.  I think the recipe guide you mentioned would be very helpful for things, like the crustless pizza, I make.  Thanks so much.

I hope to be able to go tomorrow.  It's supposed to be a beautiful day.  I'm sorry you won't be able to attend.  It was a real pleasure meeting you there.  It's a great support group.

Have a great weekend.

Debbie

Stayed up and watched Letterman last night.  That's the first night since surgery I was able to stay awake past 9 PM.  Then up at 6:20, which is my normal time to get up for work.  Maybe my body is preparing for going back to work next week.  I did attend the defensive driving class yesterday and learned it is an Iowa requirement for gov't employees.  Helps prevent against negligence lawsuits if someone has a crash while on duty. 

Well I had my first bad experience with a food.  Refried beans - 3 bites and it all came back up.  UGH. 

Mary - I'm so sorry to hear your husband is having so many issues.  Prayers coming your way. 

Everyone have a great day!

Good morning Irish and everyone......

I slept great for the first time in along time. My coughing didn't wake me up for a change.

I feel like a whole different person today. Still a little tickle in my throat and my voice is a little hoarse but soooooooo much better....thank you God!!

I am planning on actually leaving my house today. I need to go to Walmart to pick up a couple things. I want to stop at one of the thrift shops too. I know better then to overdo so they will be quick stops.

Nic (grandson) is definitely coming to spend a week with me...March 15th....we are so excited!!!  I love our special times together just him and me. I need to start planning some fun things!!

I will continue to keep so many of you in my thoughts and prayers.

Have a really nice day everyone!!

Love and oodles of hugs to all.....connie d

morning cassie and my OFF family...

well this morning i am sooo tired!!! maybe its because i have to work the afternoon/evening shift today....hate the thought of lifting the heavy hot dog roller off the grill to clean it up. if there were someone that could work for me today i would call in sick!!! and after how i was treated again yesterday would be a pleasure to take today off....but i will go in and do my job....

watched whiteout last night. it was an ok movie but not what we expected i guess. tonight we are going to watch 2012. hope i can keep awake long enough to watch it though.

saw my first commercial for a riding mower cutting grass!!! could it be possible that spring will be here soon???? i hope so!!! so tired of this cold and snow and now the potholes!!! good gravy there are plenty of those in my complex!!! especially right near our building!!! one of the other tenants said it looks like a slum area to her back here...yeah she is so right!!! seems they keep the appearance of the place up just past the office and then forget about the rest of us back here near the pool area!!!

found another apartment here that has a dog and cat in it...soooo rick is going to bring his parrot here soon as it warms up some. not supposed to have "exotic" pets here...BUT the other end of our building they have SNAKES!!! how exotic are they??? atleast the parrot won't get out of here...if i ever see one of those pythons, boas or whatever they are everyone will know it loud and clear!!! rick doesn't want another cat because of sassy...his cat that couldn't come here to live with us til she died...rules they said...nope only one pet per apartment we were told....well if the manager of the complex can break the rules i guess its fair game we all break them....sighs

well time to get showered and maybe wake up some then off to work to get my check and then the bank then to work for the rest of the day.

know i am catching up on reading some posts but no time to answer them all...i AM thinking of you all and hope that everything turns out for the best for you!!!

love hugs and prayers to those that need them!!!  ;-)

Hi Cassie and my OFF family:

I'm typing on my new red laptop ... Scooter is jealous of the laptop because he can't lay on my lap when the computer is here. So I won't have it on my lap all the time because I'd miss my original "laptop".

I used to take trazadone for many years but its effectiveness wore off ... I think our bodies get used to medication after awhile. The sleep doctor did a sleep study on me and said I have mild sleep apnea (this was after I had lost weight ... had it before I lost weight, too) and changed my med to Elavil. It's an antidepressant, too. Plus, I also take neurontin at nighttime because of my back/knee pain. That also helps me sleep. So if you've been taking trazadone for a long time and it's not working now, you might want to switch. Ask your doc about it.

It's fun getting used to the new computer. Yesterday, I watched the White Sox spring training game on the computer. The pitching looked OK early, but the late inning guy blew the lead and the game ended in a tie.

I thought about going to a movie again today but decided against it. Been running around too much this week. So I'm just going to sit home.

Another laidoff coworker friend's dog went missing last night. This is the guy who has been sending me job leads. Poor guy ... he picked me up and took me to the Honda dealer last week, and the dog was in the back seat. Sweet dog, too.

Well, that's all for me right now. Have a good day.

Hi All,
I'm still here... just lurking mostly. I don't have much going on, thank goodness. Work is very busy, but life is calm, which I am thankful for, of course. My daughter and I took the "Granddog" to the dog park yesterday. We've had some rain so we all ended up a tired, muddy trio... that dog can RUN! Spring is here in California- the daffodils are blooming and the sun is out. The trees have lots of blossoms. It can't be too far behind for you in the colder climate areas. Happy Friday!
