Busy Monday!
Good morning all my beautiful OFF sistas!
Up and at 'em, everyone! It's a busy Monday around here. So much to do today! I have many tasks to tackle today before we can leave for Nacogdoches tomorrow. Benny is off to pre-school this morning--thank goodness!--so I have the next 6 hours to work uninterrupted.
We got an entire day of RAIN yesterday! Whoo hoo! We surely did need it. Butch and I spent almost the entire day indoors in our pjs. Unheard of for him, not so unheard of for me, but it was very nice. We needed a day to just relax. I read the best book! It's a mystery series set in Blanco County, Texas full of funny quirky Texan characters. The main character is a game warden. It might be one of those "you have to have lived here to really appreciate it" books, but I loved it.
Hope everyone is doing well this morning and off to a great start this week!
Love you all!

Good morning Vickie and everyone.....
Vickie...it makes me feel good to know you and your hubby had such a wonderful and relaxing day together. You really needed that!! That book sounds good....what is the name please??
I had a good day yesterday too. The Vikings lost but it was fun anyway. I spent most of the day and evening with a good friend. It was nice to have "girl" time together!
Today is nothing but relaxing for me. I need to start getting things together to pack. Making my list today!! I leave early Friday AM for Iowa. I will be picking up my granddaughter, Kyleigh, that lives in Minneapolis. I am taking her with to help me with Grace and also to help with driving. That will help me so much.
Sure wish my depression would lift....so much happening in my life and not all for the good. Pain has been so awful. 80s in the day and 30s at night....oh boy!!!!
Wishing you all a beautiful day!! Prayers for many in need...some special ones too!! Where would I be without all you wonderful friends...lost I am sure!!
Loveand hugs 
for you all....connie d

Hey sweet Connie,
I am sending lots of positive thoughts and prayers your way. I surely wish there was some way for you to move. And for all that pain to disappear!
The name of the book is Bone Dry by Ben Rehder. But the first book in the series is called Buck Fever. They are not available on my Nook, but I think they are on the Kindle. Anyway, I'm haunting the 1/2 Price Books store trying to track them down in paper or hardback. It's a series, and I hate reading them out of order! But I will keep searching them out.
Love you sweetie!
Vickie
Vickie.....you are just the sweetest!!
I so appreciate the support, prayers, and caring you give me!!
Thank you too for the name of the books....I will add them to my list. I don't have a Kindle or Nook....wish I did. Maybe I can find them at a used book store some time. They sound so interesting!
Love you much...HUGS....connie d

Good Afternoon Vickie, Connie and OFF Family to Follow,
Well, I was so exhausted when I got home yesterday, I fell asleep early. I got to see my son three times during the race. First, he ran right in front of their hotel. Then, we saw him two blocks away going in the other drection. Then, my daughter-in-law and I walked a little more than a mile to the finish line, while Chris ran the rest of the race. We also got to see him cross the finish line. I posted a pic of him, his wife and me after the race. This was his fourth half-marathon. I'm so proud of him.
Today, I woke up sore from all of yesterday's walking. Of course, we had to walk over a mile to go back to the hotel. After the kids left to go back to New York, I headed to the train station to go back home. I got home in time to watch the Eagles game, and they won. Too bad my Phillies lost.
Today, I had physical therapy for my neck and back. Then, I had to speak with someone about a mess-up with a prescription and my Rx insurance. In a minute, I am leaving for my volunteer work at the agency.
Connie, I am starting to battle an annual Autumn depression that started over the weekend. I'm hoping my volunteer work helps me fight it off. I'm already on a slew of psych meds that keep me fairly stable most of the time.
I hope everyone has a blessed day.
Hugs,
Trish

Seek always to do some good, somewhere. Every man has to seek in his own way to realize his true worth. You must give some time to your fellow man. For remember, you don't live in a world all your own. Your brothers are here too.

Hello OFF family!
Vickie so glad you had a relaxing day yesterday!
Connie I wish I could take your pain and depression. I've been there and sometimes it feels like your never going to get out of the black hole. Before my sister died (pancreatic cancer) she would get so depressed after chemo and then the steroids. I use to tell her that I was going to fly to Wyoming and I was going to grab some Chinese food and then I would climb down in the hole till she was ready to come out. She would laugh and only 1 time I was able to do that. I wish we lived closer cause I'd come and help!
Trish, hope your mussels feel better soon.
Have a great day everyone!
Big Hugs,
Debbie

Debbie...you are so sweet. Love what you told your sister. I am so sorry you lost her. She seems like a great person....just like you!!!
I don't know what is worse....the damn pain or the depression. Guess it ties in together. Yes, fall and winter are the worst. However, I seem to have had a head start this year. I keep praying. Just too much stress. I need to get out of my living arrangement but there just isn't a way out right now. Times are hard!
Thank you for caring....I so appreciate that.....I need all the support I can get!! This is the best place for it!!
Hugs and love.....connie d

Thank you Trish....you are so wonderful!!
Yes, the fall and winter are the worst. Seems like I am way ahead of it this year!! I need out of here. My living arrangement is killing me. I spend at least 95% of my time in my room when I am home. My sister is on her phone or sleeping in the living room so I have no where else to go. I have to wait to get something to eat and drink so I don't wake her. She doesn't like sleeping in her bedroom. I am grateful to not be living on the streets but I can't do this much longer. The stress is really wearing me down!! No money so not much can be done...I am getting so defeated!
Thanks for caring my dear friend!!! I always value your support and all here on OFF...you guys keep me going!

Hi Vickie and my OFF family:
The rain has moved north; we are having a daylong rain. I still have my headache; I called my doc today and made an appointment. I think it's sinus-related; I have some ear-popping going on in my left ear.
Got up way too early ... at 9:30 a.m. ... didn't sleep particularly well. Don't know why, we didn't have storms, just nice, gentle rain. Wish I could stay in my jammies and read all day, but off to work I go later today. But tomorrow and Wednesday I'm off.
Anyway, not much else going on. Did I tell y'all I know what my next "grand" is going to be? My niece-in-law in Texas is going to have a boy on Jan. 31. That will make four boys in this generation of our family.
Well, have a good day.
