saturday-wake up! what's new???

i'm up-that's nothing new!
need coffee.......

HI Margo and everyone to follow,

I am up on you, already had two cups of coffee!

It really is good to see you posting more.

Let see, what is on the agenda today?


This afternoon, my daughter and I are going to my in-laws to clean their house.  That should take a couple of hours.  It takes an hour just to get there.

Probably go to church later and do some laundry in between.

Nothing else planned for the day, unless some surprises happen!

Everyone have a great day

Peace

oh marym!!! i actually am on my second cup--just; it's yesterday's! i wish someone would come here and just keep refilling my coffee pot for me! we have a double pot cuz michael cannot have caffeine and i switch over to decaf in the evening...and it just seems like the pots both continually need to be refilled! my mom had a bunn but finally put it away due to the "electricty vampire" aspect!

i know you are stressed with all that you have had to do for family; i think it's wonderful that you can tho! think about pre surgery!!! would you have been able to keep this pace????
hugs!!!!!!!!!!!!

what is an electricity vampire? I've used my bunn for 11 years now.......

good morning margo and all to follow

ive been MIA but im OK and everything here is going pretty well.  im still buried in paperwork
but im taking one day at a time and trying to move life along.

i joined a senior dating site and went out on a very very casual date or two.  not sure
that im cut out for this, but maybe its just too soon.

anyway, wanted to let all you know that im schlepping along because you were all
here for me when i needed you.

margo hope you are doing OK, and im going to get coffee also

hugs to all, Jacki

jacki...you have been in my heart a lot lately--don't push yourself too hard...but don't sit home and rot, either! this last year or so has been quite a great deal in your life....hugs!!!!
so very many of you are so special to me.....and have always been there for me, as well! one of the things i notice with this group is how each of you effects my life differently-for various reasons or different times....

Hi Jacki,

I've been thinking about you too.  I remember not long after I lost Rich, I missed his voice, his touch and just his male POV.  I signed up for Match.com and at first just wanted penpals.   I only wanted to hear from guys who'd also been widowed because I felt that at least we could understand each other's issues.  The only other thing I remember from then is how raw I was feeling.  All these emotions still needed to be processed. You'll be able to tell for yourself if it's too early--main thing is, don't let other people tell you.   Keeping it casual is a great idea.  (((hugs)))

good morning! i am awake -again-and today i am heading to kazoo to a memorial service...my (deceased) grampa's widow, maxine, passed march 3rd. they are having her memorial today, so i will drive mom down for the day....michael stays home with the poochies-

michael's hip is giving him oodles ofaggravation-it keeps popping out of the socket (he says) and major pain-but he doesn't wanna go to a doc...go figure-before long he won't be able to walk probly.....

worker's comp is still unresolved and i have to say it is scaring me-spoke with atty's office yesterday--they'll try again to facilitate proper pprwork so we get paid....it has been a month now- 5 weeks actually- and it hurts the pocketbook.

having said that; i splurged $65 yesterday---we go to a wonderful thrift shop nearby -their profits help with local home heating programs, etc....anyhow- in the window was a gorgeous 4 drawer old dresser--plain simple and beautiful! not exceptionally tall and quite plain! it was a one owner, too!!!!probly worth more than the $65 tag on it! i had to have it -so i splurged some of my last census check---and i am so tickled!

yesterday started out with my taking the computerized test at the bank as part of my application process. i think i did well enough! one question boggled my brain and one was unfinished at the end of the 12 minutes....so, instead of a "second interview" , the mgr had the vault (head) teller (30 yrs experience with them!!!!) come in and ask me questions- she is a great gal=if i don't get chosen for this job; there must be an awesome hometown girl/guy  who applied...i truly think i have it....as we spoke, the gals could tell that i know my stuff...and their questions were easily answered with no hesitations...decision to be made mon or tues....so i am praying! it's only PT for now -but a good place to retire from as i look toward my future. crossed fingers and swinging chickens and prayers gratefully accepted meantime!

i know my posting has been quite sporadic- internet is still quite an issue here-and my brain had to revitalize after the census work!!! really took alot out of me! however, i gained quite a bit-money in the bank and knowledge and friends!a few whom i think will be great to have around here!

i have been doing a lot of mindless grazing and i need it to stop! i'm still getting protein and fruits and vegs but also a lot of snacky stuff....ouch!

brody stepped on roxie's foot by accident yesterday so we have had to coddle her- he feels so bad! these two have turned into such close buds!!!!and they are so worried that we are going away again every time gramma (my mom) comes over!yesterday, she held roxie while we brought the dresser in-brody got jealous of the attention and jumped up in her lap! hysterical!!!!!!

well- i need to motivate toward getting dressed for this memorial but i wanted to say hi!

i know we have some new posters lately-welcome a-board -it's always great to see new peeps!

hugs and prayers, my OFF family!!!!!

Margo, my dear, so very nice to see you!  Hope you're doing well and I have a whole flock of chickens swinging as we speak for the job at the bank. Good luck, Honey!!!!

Not much going on here but work. I so wish I could stay home today and play in the yard, it's going to be a glorious day. But, it's supposed to be nice the whole week, so maybe on Monday?

Gotta run and do my best to look presentable for work. It gets harder every day with each additional pound that seems to be finding me.

Love you all!

Hi Margo and my OFF family:

Beautiful morning today, although still a little cool ... just 43 degrees. I still have some packing to do before I hit the road and head toward Chicago. No big hurry today; I don't need to get down there for anything today. The birthday party for my grandnephews is tomorrow (although I can't remember the time ... think it's 1 p.m. ... guess I'll have to call Andrea and ask).

I have mostly everything packed, although I still have to throw some shirts in my suitcase. Forgot those last night ... I was so tired and my back hurt so much from bending and lifting. Plus, I have to remember to pack my bed in the car so my mom doesn't have to sleep on the crappy bed for five days. My Aerobed is pretty comfortable.

I have to make a stop at Walgreens before I leave. They left my vicodin out of my prescriptions yesterday, so now I have to go back and pick it up this morning before I leave. Plus, the memory card I bought for my camera is the wrong one, so now I have to buy another one (and I don't have the receipt for this one, so I can't just exchange it). So I have a few errands yet before I hit the road.

I had protein coffee and now I need real coffee ... don't know when I'll be online again because I didn't want to pay extra for AT&T's wireless card so I'll be looking for free WiFi spots.

Well, have a good day ... see you when I can.
