Sunday What's Up?
I love you too, Karen... I think that maybe you need to be back at work and around people. You are the kind of person that thrives around lots of people. I find that I do better when I am working because of that. You've been kind of isolated since your plastics. If I lived closer I'd get your butt out to go shopping!
Karen,
I find that, even if I don't feel like interacting with people, getting on here brings me back into life. That's why I get on here every day. I crave being around people, even more than I crave food. If I don't talk or chat or something, I will overeat.
So don't stay away. Come play with us, even if you are feeling blue. Tell us about it. We don't bite, and if you are negative, hey, we'll understand.
Or, call someone. I'm home during the day.

Karen,
Do you take a potassium supplement???? It seems to help my restless leg...but, then I also take a tramadol most nights before bed. Makes me just sleepy enough. My doctor suggested the Requip, but said I could have sleepiness in the daytime and hallucinations!!!!??? WHAT...I said no thank you.
If it helps I massage my legs with Blue Emu each night before bed..its seems to help.
Hope you get some relief soon.

Not much to chat about today. Going to enjoy my "ME " time until 6PM when Grace gets back. Nothing much planned other then reading and relaxing.
Prayers for those in need. Have a nice day everyone.
Love and hugs to all......connie d
Good Morning Trish and OFF-
Slept like a log last night and was real late getting up this morning.
As I posted in the Thankful string I am so thankful that I lost the weight that I did as this morning I was down on my hands and knees trouble shooting a water leak under the kitchen sink. In the past it would have taken several minutes to get down and several minutes to get back up but today it was easy. Turns out when they disconnected the water line for the ice maker on the old frig they didn't get the connection seated properly and it was dripping under the kitchen sink for at least 24 hours before I discovered it. Thankfully I have plenty of old towels to sop up the water from the carpet and a portable fan to circulate in the cabinet to dry everything out.
I spent the day with my friends yesterday. Had a NSV day as they had not seen me since I left the area last April. They were amazed at how much weight I've lost and how good I looked. That felt really good to bask in their amazement. As I've posted before I've been stressing on the trip down to Texas and struggling with my head hunger and comfort eating issues. Yesterday was the booster shot that I needed to stay motivated. This mornings plumbing victory also helped!
Trish hope the icing and rest will help the swollen toes. Would the doctor recommend some compression socks to help control the swelling as well?
Connie hope the SAD gets a little better. Know how it is to deal with depression as I have suffered for many years. I just reduced my dosages thanks to the weight loss. You have had a tough year and it will get better. Did that light out and sit in front of it while you enjoy the rest of your ME day.
Judy - so sorry about Buster. Can't express the right words other than to say that I have been in your shoes several times. (((((((((((HUGS)))))))))))
Laureen - enjoy your day with Tony.
To everyone else, enjoy your extra hour of time today and positive vibes to everyone who needs it.

Good morning, OFF friends,
We had a beautiful, if cool, day yesterday, but today it is cloudy again. I live in the desert so that SAD is generally not an issue for me anymore, but this is not helping. I am sorry that so many are dealing with it early. I remember how miserable I was when I lived in cloudier climates.
I am just chilling out this morning and doing laundry. This afternoon, I will be going to our annual memorial event "Light up a Life", where we honor our hospice patients who have died during the past year. It is quite a lovely event.
Yesterday, I spread my wings a little in the eating arena and paid for it with the foamies and feeling miserable. There is a reason for all the rules!
Everyone have a good day,
Sharon

Good morning my OFF family,
{{{Hugs}}} go to Judy over the death of her beloved little Buster. So hard to lose a fur baby.
I slept late this morning, even with the time change. I'm really draggin' around today. Not the blue funk. It's TOM again. I swear, I am never going to see the end of TOM.
Sitting here waiting on my weekly phone call from Butch today. I hope he's not too sick. He wrote me yesterday that he was getting a bad cough.
Spent most of yesterday working on POA stuff, but I didn't quite get finished. I need to finish writing the newsletter and getting a proxy form ready for a vote we've got coming up. And then tomorrow I have to train the new treasurer on how to do the annual billing. It would be so much easier for me to just do it myself today and get it over with, but I suppose it makes more sense to teach her how to do it for next year.
So good to see the pictures of Monica and her family on FB yesterday! Isn't it wonderful the way we can share photos instantly on FB? I should list that as one of the things I'm thankful for. I get to see pictures of my little Benny all the time.
********
Got interrupted by a phone call from my sweetie. He's still coughing, but didn't sound too bad. Now I can't remember what all else I was going to say. Praying for both our Nancys, and for Mag, and for all our other sistas who are facing health challenges. Hoping you all have a wonderful Sunday afternoon with your friends and family.
Love you all!

Hi Trish and my OFF family:
Got off Skype with my brother and mom. My brother is extremely worried about his finances ... his savings are drained and he still doesn't have a job (the p-t job is on hold for now; he doesn't have any time scheduled until December). So he's very concerned how he will pay his bills. I don't ask for much here but for those of you who pray, swing chickens, rattle those beads, whatever, can you keep him in mind? He's been out of work for more than two years now. He's 59 and that's not a good age to be looking for a job.
Watching the Saints play now ... Terry Bradshaw's daughter sang the national anthem ... very nice. Trish, your Eagles are playing my Bears, so I'll have to be cheering against your team. I'll be at work, however.
Last night was busy at work because of the big college football game: LSU vs. Bama (LSU won, 9-6 in OT).
Well, my computer keeps freezing up as I type so that's all I'm going to say. Have a good one.

Hi Trish and Everyone,
Ill bing up the rear, Im getting ready to put in my little 4 hours tonight. this is getting rediculous going in for just 4 hours. I hope I get this new job tomorrow. if i dont well I just keep looking!!!!! Going on Wednesday down to Plantation to put some feelers out for a fulltime job at Plantation General Hospital in admission for a fulltime job down there. it is 230 miles from here so if i get it we will move there. I have friends there as well and cousins there too.
Carl is really fighting me on that one.....
if I dont get a fulltime job by the 21st we are leaving for Michigan and chicago for 10 days. I guess I need a dose of the cold weather!!!!!!!
Prayers out for both of the Nancy's.
Sad to here about Buster. My cat Pitt died of the same thing. Probably kidney failure. or a kidney stone.
