Whats New Tuesday edition?
Good Morning all!
Been at work for a little bit now, just finished my morning chai....yes, I am still addicted to that! You coffee drinkers will understand most likely! Gotta have that morning jolt!
I have 1.5 weeks left in this class I am taking and I started writing the one report we have to do last night. didn't get as far as I wanted but did make some time for a nice little bonfire last night. Then I got a few rows knitted before I fell asleep watching Dr G, medical examiner.
I know, gruesome show, but being in the medical field I like it! I'm making afghans (I hope) for my neice and nephew for Christmas. Our family is all Ohio State fans so making them red/gray with a bit of off white in there too.
That's it for me! Whats new with you?

Good mornin' ya'll.
Afghans for Christmas. Don't you love making things to give away? Someone is gonna cherish those always. I have 3 fleece quillows to make for Christmas. My left shoulder is still not strong enough to handle that large heavy fabric. Hopefully by November I can get started! Two of them have to be mailed!
Our son and DIL went to Lowe's to plan out their new kitchen cabinets and granite counter tops. It is gonna cost them a flippin' fortune! They don't want top of the line, but they also don't want cheap. Jim has the tile on the floor and it will take 4 weeks to get the cabinets. They may have to set up a table in there and connect their microwave so they can heat up food. They have a fridge in the garage. She also wants hardwood floors in the dining room, living room and down the hall. That may have to wait until after taxes come back nest year.
I have PT this morning. I am having trouble with one of the exercises. 'Walking' my arm up the wall while it is fully exrended. I know it is the muscles in the arm that just need to be strengthened. It is very frustrating when I want to improve so much faster!!!
Everyone have a fantabulous day!!

Not much going on today. Need to clean house, catch up the laundry, and I want to sew strips together so I can finish the rag rug I started to replace the worn out one in my kitchen. Saw the shrink yesterday and left very frustrated. I am still down but the depression seems to be improving. I still have days when I don't want to do anything. The fibro pain complicates things too. The Savella my PCP started me on doesn't seem to be helping with the fibro much yet but I think it is what is enhancing my better mood. I still have to rest between activities, too afraid to drive, staying home and avoiding guests as much as possible. My shrink said I am not disabled and said she can't make me disabled just because I don't want to work. I don't know what is going on. It's true I don't want to work, I get too stressed out, which leads to more pain, and I don't think I am even physically capable of lasting a whole 8 hrs at anything. I can't even do that at home. I stay even more depressed every time I go in there. It makes me wonder what good are they? The therapist says I'm not ready to go back to work yet, the shrink says I am. I know I'm not. Oh well, I guess this will screw up my appeal on my ss disability claim. I plan to call my lawyer today and see what he thinks.

Hi Debbie and all my OFF friends,
I have huge dark bruises all over my belly. At the house we stayed at over the weekend, the twin beds were close together and the footboards had an end you had to squeeze through. My belly took the brunt of it.
I'm calling the doctor today. My lower intestinal problems are back. I almost didn't come in to work this morning. I had a tummy ache and a lower back ache.
Going tonight to help my sis-in-law set up programs on her computer.
I need to call a young man in scouts who is interested in being the den chief for my Tiger Cubs.
My eating is on track because my stomache doesn't feel too good. I'm very tired as well, so eating is a bother.
I love crocheting and sewing things for my grandkids but I'm just going to store it to give to them when they are older. My *****es not treasure what I give to them. I never see it again after I give it to them. I made her an elaborate pineapple border afghan for Christmas when they were first married. I made pillowcases with tooth fairy pockets and the grands names appliqued on them. I sewed a doorway puppet theatre for them. I've heard she sells them in tag sales. I'm going to make the grandkids all afghans this year but I'm storing them until they are teenagers. When I made a crocheted baby blanket for my first grandson, she gave it back to me saying she already had too many - keep it at my house. My grandson only came to my house one time before he was six mos. old so that was useless. Oh well. Thanks for letting me vent. She has two sons so this may come back to haunt her when she is a MIL.
Hugs to all,
Bev

Bev, I am sorry you are treated that way. I always told my DIL's that the way my boys treat me is how they should be treated. My boys are so good to me. The DIL didn't think I should be treated good. I also have stuff I have made for the kids here at my house. That was the kids choice, they told me at their house it wouldn't be taken care of.
You are right, what goes around, comes around. My grands are closer to me than their moms. Hang in there, your time will come.
Nan
PS. Two of the DIL's are no longer part of the family.

Nan,
Thanks for the solidarity. I've always been so nice and generous to her. I don't get it. She is a real control freak. Always telling me what and what not to get for the kids. If I go off her list she tells me I shouldn't have bought that and don't do it again, etc.
It keeps getting back to me that she has mother-in-law problems. But to see the grandkids, I will put up with it all.

Neither grandmother made anything for us, although Grandma Delort did bake a lot (in her older years she was diabetic, so a lot of it was done in Sugar Twin which was just horrible tasting!). I would have loved to have had something handmade. My SIL made me a quilt wallhanging when I moved into my condo to put my pins on ... I love it. I still have the afghan my mom crocheted for me when I was in high school ... actually, I have mine and my sister's because she didn't want hers. My mom didn't crochet much, but she did these and they were pretty nice.
All the handmade stuff I've gotten I love to keep to remember the person who made it. I know when my brother Ed was going through his divorce, his wife "let" him keep all the ceramics I had made for them ... she said she never liked any of them anyway. Thanks a lot! I worked hard on them. Ed told me that ... don't know if he was trying to make me hate her or what. But it didn't endear me to her at all. Gary's ex did the same thing, but only after I made the snide comment that I wanted him to get custody of the ceramic pieces ... I didn't really care, but then Debbie said, "I don't want them." Well, fine. I kept the things she made for me.
Anyway, your grandchildren will appreciate them someday. Trust me.
