Happy Tuesday
Eileen I thought for sure I would be able to start the thread today since it's 3:30 a.m. here in Hawaii, and I couldn't sleep. It's is pitch black outside and so warm I have all my fans going full speed. My two kitties decided to use me for a trampoline way before their usual time......one landing on my stomach and the other on my head!! Geez...how rude!! Ha.
Today is a lovely "nothing planned" day. I will probably go back to bed in a bit, and later do chores and then back to the book I'm reading "50 Shades of Grey." I have been giving myself two hours out on the lanai from 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. to get some great sun and Vit. D. Also getting a nice tan in the process.
The past three days I have been screening babies' hearing at the Maui Memorial Hospital, and as usual it was quite amazing to see the new little lives born each day. Yesterday I had a set of twins...a boy and a girl!! So lucky I told the mom.......one pregnancy and you have both!! Mom and dad were both just thrilled. I love it when babies are wanted and loved....hate it when the mother is 14 or 15 and just a child herself.
Sorry for those of you having physical problems. I've never had a migraine, but I have sure had headaches....like right now. Usually a tylenol does the trick.
OK...going back to bed. Will watch CNN until I fall asleep. Funny that instead of Convention, all the news is Isaac. Lots of wasted money I'm afraid.
Aloha nui loa,

Good Morning to all my OFF friends!
Slept in this morning, didn't sleep too well last night. But other than that it's a good day, things are moving along! Pun intended!
Eileen I hope the rhizotomy helps and you can be pain free or at least able to manage it. To live with pain everyday is so hard.
I've been on antidepressants for 14 years, was told my brain does not produce enough serotonin so I have to be on it for life. About every 2-3 years I think I'm find and go off it and boy what a wreak I am with out it. Speak up if the Prozac is making you feel weird or anything out of the ordinary. Over the years I've changed and found one that makes me feel good. My daughter asked me why don't I cry very often, answer: I do, it just take me a little longer to process and react.
Well that's it for now. Hope you all have a great day,
Hugs, Debbie

I have now been on antidepressants for three years and yeah, it makes me feel a little numb sometimes, but it is much better than the overwhelming feelings I was having, the meltdowns at work, the rages. I'll take the calm anyday. I was way over the top. I had been on Zoloft for a few years and then went off it on my own because it was getting to be too expensive (bad choice). It was several years before my psychologist put me on Lexapro. Then I went on Celexa to save some money; then on Cymbalta to help my fibro (which was expensive, but it does work so well for me).
Glad things are moving now for you.
Eileen...I am praying your procedure helps to relieve at least some of your pain.
I am overtired and will be going back to bed again soon. I had a horrible nights sleep. Pam called about her mother. Alberta fell last night and broke her hip. Pam has no way to take care of her as it was. Now she has more to worry about. Alberta's surgery is in about 20 minutes. I pray all goes well. I want to go see Alberta and be there for Pam but I can't as that idiot of a boyfriend will be there. I can't be around him. Makes me feel sad!
Wishing all of you a wonderful day!! Prayers as always for those in need.
Love and many hugs to all...connie d
Afternoon OFF family...quick stop in again for me...we have a missing woman that is an apartment manager not far from us here...she left everything behind purse, wallet etc only took herself and her car...she is only about 43 years old and cute as a button. Hope they find her soon and ok!!!! Kind of scary to me but I am abig girl and will be careful just incase its a nut case running around here!!! Police ARE out looking for her car and they have already been through here checking cars out. Someone mentioned her boyfriend...said its not like her to just take off and not tell anyone...strange.
Nothing new here at all just another boring day at the office...making an afghan for Rick for his birthday...only he THINKS its for SOMEONE else...lol I am making it in a camo color and he is nuts for that!!! So he will be surprised when he gets this gift!!! LOL He is already drooling over it and I only have 2 rows done so far!!!! :-)
