It's Tuesday, what's new?
Sorry - TMI.
Good morning Eileen, & all. Eileen heres hoping you get a good job, one you like & where they appreciate what you have to offer.
I read a lot of news online, but alo like the paper. Something about reading at your own pace without popups everyfew seconds!
I will post the name of the airline later. Not sure what it is right now.
His flight plans have changed a few times. Supposed to be in Grand Rapids around 4 today.
So another road trip for us. Thank God we are flexable, the government sure is(or is it unreliable?)
The MRI showed a small tumor in Morgans abdomin. Thats the good news, the bad is it's in a hard area to get to. They said not impossable, just more difficult.Texas Childrens Hospital is said to be one of the best.
Well need to get ready for the road again. Take care all & have a great day!
Nan
Good Morning Eileen, OFFr's,
Just keep plugging away Eileen, hoping you land a job that you can be reasonably happy with in an area you can be happy in as well. I agree that servicemen should not be penalized for having to bring all their belongings back and forth. Shame on the airlines charging them.
Well the temps are a bit cooler, though only for a day or so and then promises of more heat.
So last night I was totally exhausted and wound up in bed at 8:30, woke up 4x to go potty, so annoying, I've timed things so as not to have any liquids after 6 p.m. and still I wake up so often during the night, aged plumbing I guess. . .
Well I got up at 4:40, petted and fed the Roxie girl, washed face, brushed teeth, packed food, got my gym clothes on and out the door by 5:10, worked up a good sweat for 45 minutes on the elliptical and then spent 9 minutes in the tanning booth, as I read an article that stated one way to get our vitamin D is through tanning, but of course it has to be within limits and since I already have a base tan, as well as the fact that I am of the olive complexion, I put on my googles and it felt good, especially because it has a fan blowing, so right after sweating, it is a nice cool down. . . anyway, showered and am here at work. Tonight I am babysitting my grandkids so my DIL and son can attend my DIL's uncle's wake, he died on Sunday from Lou Gehrig's disease, he was 61 years of age, so sad.
Well I am keeping those of you with tough life challenges in my thoughts and prayers today, Nan, please know I am hoping for the best with regards to your granddaughter. Wishing peace and strength for all.

My Mantra is that I do not determine my success by the number hanging in my closet, nor will I let the scale determine that success either. . . It is through trial and error I will continue to grow and succeed. . . Laureen

Morning HUGS to all.
Our support group was enormous last night. We snitched chairs from several places until there was not enough room for more chairs or people.
Considering the number of people it was orderly. Noisy with laughter but I had a semblance of control. some nights I wish for a paint gun instead of the measly bells to ring for quiet.
The support group is a vital part of my life. The leadership role has responsibilities, but paying it forward is a huge reward.
Kisses

Good afternoon Eileen and everyone.....
Eileen....with all the pain you have maybe it is time to check into disability. I would do it before it is no longer available like everything else....that is if you feel you might be coming to that point.....just wondering.
I too am outraged at the Airlines towards military people. Especially in Nan's son's situation. Charging them for baggage no less. I think they have earned the right not to pay!!
Nan...keep believing...that is what we do....we NEVER give up!!!
Prayers keep flowing. I have contacted many MN people that I know are praying for Morgan and your family. Morgan is a fighter....those kids are stronger and more positive then most anyone I know. HEROES in every sense of the word!! HUGS AND LOVE!!!!!!!
This morning I had to take Grace to the dentist. No cavities and the dentist said she has great teeth. In fact her 6 year molars are starting to push through. She will be 5 in November. The dentist said not to worry so we won't. My family has been blessed with strong beautiful teeth.
RAGBRAI is in full swing. Bikes are going past our house one after the other. Many RV's, buses, campers etc. The town is allowing them to set up just about anywhere. WalMart has about 2/3 of their huge parking lot full of RV's and people have tents in the grassy area's there. Traffic is crazy in our quiet little town!! Should be a fun night. There is so much going on!!
My BFF, Pam called yesterday, her 87 year old mother has been diagnosed with lung cancer. They are running more tests and MRI's today. They will get the results on Friday. It doesn't look too good. She now weighs less then 100 pounds....not much there. Wish I was in MN now!!! I will go if and when she needs me.
That is about it for me. Prayers for so many in need.
Have a good day....love and hugs to all...connie d

I was considering disability, but my two pensions wouldn't be enough to hold me over until I got approved. Hence the need to keep working. So I keep looking for a better job. This one isn't it. But there has to be something out there. Or I'll look for something less stressful. Maybe out of my field. Maybe I need to find a new career.
I will say the Cymbalta 60 mg has helped a lot. The 30mg cut the pain down a third; this has cut it in half. I'm still stiff in the morning and in pain when I get home, but it's not nearly as bad as it has been. If I didn't have as much stress, I'd probably be able to survive it. (and if I had two days off together ... and got enough rest so I felt rested like a normal person!).
