Hi ladies,
Hope all is well.
Connie, it's 39 there and the temps here are in the 80s. 83 to be exact for the high today. Thank GOD we will be getting cooler weather before April arrives. After April, the temp stays in the 80s here, May it starts being very humid and temps are in the upper 80s. Florida in the summertime, oh how I wish I could make a long visit to CT for 3 months. I have been here for 44 years minus 5 years when I moved to Ct. (ah what nice summers we had, and the winters weren't that cold either. ) but I digress. I look at the calendar and see April coming up and want to visit relatives up North. Summers, after all this time, are still unbearable here. High heat, high humidity. I remember when the RNC held their convention in Tampa in August 2012. They called Tampa a humid swamp. Pretty apt. Off soapbox. Be well, take care and make sure you get all your medication. Honest mistake by your pharmacist.
Cindy, feel better.
Judy, happy to hear you are on track to heal and are taking your medication accordingly. Soon you will be back to eating normal stuff again.
I am still in pain, but it is better, from my dental procedure. As I stated, severe bone loss in my mouth caused me to have to get upper dentures. Oh my God it hurt. So the last week, like it or not, I have been on soft foods. I still can't talk totally clearly even after a week, but it is much better. I put this off and put this off, but is is genetic, runs in the family and I have to deal with it. I tried one of my infamous Powercrunh Chocolate Mint Protein Bars today, and could eat just one. I actually chewed, so that is a start.
Take care, friends, and each and every one of you have a great day.
Hi Connie and Cindy P...I am feeling better today...got my meds in pretty good...not exactly on time
but taking them...
Rick made me some of his scrambled eggs for lunch...yum!! No I didn't have anything for breakfast...ran out of time after trying to get caught up from yesterday. So for supper tonight its noodles and gravy on top of cottage cheese for protein. YUM!!!! I love gravy on top of cottage cheese...lol...I take after my dad on that!!! 
Oh this is starting to hurt eating this...yikes...might not be able to eat much of it. 
Maybe try more in a little while again...
Connie it is windy here and chilly...BRRRRRRRR they have warnings out not to burn anything because of the winds. And glad you called them on shorting you on your meds!!! Hate when that happens!!! I have my green shirt on today but no Irish in me at all...LOL
Cindy...hope you feel better soon!!!
Well going to go lay down...these noodles are not sitting well....sighs.......
Thoughts and Prayers for ALL that need them!!!
HUGSSSSSSSSSSSSS
Happy St. Patrick's Day, Connie and all to follow.
Getting ready to go to urgent care. I haven't felt this crummy in a long time. This bug is nasty.\
Good news is that the sun is shining today! Yay!!
I hope you all have a good afternoon. I just wanted to stop in and say HELLO.
Hugs and kisses.
Cindy P.
Wishing you all a beautiful day!!!
It is cloudy windy and cold!! The high today will be 39 degrees, it is 37 right now. I will be staying inside.
I am happy that I have no appointments and nothing else planned for the day. I need more recovery time as I am still exhausted.
Anyone know how Jeannie is doing? I haven't seen her on here for awhile. I am still concerned about Mary too. Still sending prayers. I hope Judy is feeling somewhat better today.
I had to tease my Pharmacist this morning. I got some Rx's delivered today. One was in a much smaller bottle then normal. There is no way 90 pills could fit in that container. I decided to count them and I did three times. 58 not 90. Usually if they are short they send a note explaining that the rest will be sent to me in a couple days. No note. Mark felt so bad. I have been getting RX's from there for many, many years and never had a problem. He said they will be sent out today. He said, time for another meeting with the staff!!
Nothing else happening here. Today is St Patrick's Day. I am wishing all us Irish folks have a HAPPY DAY! They are having a special lunch today. Last year their corned beef and cabbage was awful. The other option was Irish lamb stew. I ordered stew but then canceled my order. I just can't eat a little lamb!!!
Wishing you all a wonderful day!!! Pay it Forward as you can.
Prayers for all our sweet OFF Family and their families. Special prayers for those in need.
Loads of Love and many Hugs to all...connie d
Hello ladies
I am posting late. Been a busy day. Woke up at 7:30 showered, got dressed, and left for the Y. Worked Biceps and back today and ended with cardio and stretches. That wore me out. Then came home and changed. I don't go out in public in my work out clothes, don't want to scare anyone. Then I headed to Houston to buy some shoes. I called first to see if they had anything in my size. didn't want to drive 45min to 1 hour and not even try anything on. I have very difficult feet to fit. I wear a 10 AAAA. My heel is actually AAAAA but that doesn't exist. There is one store in Houston that sells narrow width shoes but even there AAAA is not real easy to find. I lucked out. I found the black heels I needed. Then I found a pair of chocolate brown and a navy blue I liked. The navy was half price so only $50.00. The brown was full price at $100.00 but it is so difficult for me to find shoes that I bought them. My husband asked me if I had anything that went with brown and I said no. Then the salesman came to my rescue and said " women that wear this size shoe find it easier to match clothes to shoes than shoes to clothes." John was joking anyway but I thought it cute that the salesman went to bat for me. Of course I am not naïve. I know he works on commission so it was to his benefit as well. I walked out with 3 pair of shoes for a little less than what 2 pair normally cost me. My day to day shoes I usually get at SAS and they have gone up to about 150.00 a pair. Good thing I wear my shoes a long time before replacing them. That is one reason I buy classic, plain pumps. They ones I replaced today were 15 years old and the insides were breaking apart. Not comfortable. Got home around 4:00 and started going through my closet and pulling my formal clothes I am going to take on the cruise. I need 4 formal outfits. I have 2 definite and 2 possible. A black lace dress and a formal pant with a white formal top. I don't think I'll need to buy anything. We leave Tuesday so I have time to put stuff together from my closet.
Judy so glad your surgery went well. Wishes and prayers for a speedy recovery coming your way.
Vickie, you are a better person than I am. I could not do all that you do for your family. I require more me time. Glad Caralee is sleeping better and hopefully you will be able to get a little more sleep.
Connie still sending prayers for Nic and all the doctors that care for him. Hope you get some rest as well.
Arlene, Cindy, and others suffering with depression...glad to hear that the cloud is gradually lifting. I am blessed that my bout with depression was situational. I took meds for a couple of years after my mother died. Her death hit me harder than I expected but I was able to wean myself off the meds and now I have day where I am blue or in a funk but not for long.
Eileen.. Its no wonder you are stressed. Even before youknowwho came into your life your job situation was stressful. Your industry has gone and is going through many changes and at our ages worrying about job security is not and easy thing. Hope it all works out for you.
I know I have forgotten sistahs, its not intentional just my tired 68 year old brain.
Forgiveness Please !!
Ladies,
I have been reading every single day but have been so busy. I had no idea how hard it is being a conservator of someone...geeze. Okay, all is well; my older two sisters are on their way to check on him and then my other brother will go next week and finally I will be back that following week. I did get contractors over to fix his leaky roof (he has good home owners insurance and why he let it go...you know?); The sisters are taking him to a hotel when they get to town and the bug sprayers are coming to spray for those awful water bug things. The housekeeper has been doing an excellent job and I am so glad we got her as the housekeeper.
I don't know if I told you guys that my husband has been having pain in his right upper quadrant that radiates toward his back. A few years ago, they diagnosed him with sludge in his gallbladder but his insurance wouldn't cover removing the gallbladder due to sludge...the inevitable is getting a really infected gallbladder that may move over to his pancreas or they develop into stones. Lately, he has been so sick and having so much pain and I finally talked him to going to the doctor. The doctor thinks his gallbladder is full of stones and so Friday he is getting a ultrasound to confirm the diagnosis and he is meeting with surgeon next week so it's likely he will get the gallbladder removed. The good news is my blood work came back and while my vitamin D is still low, 23.4 it is much higher than it was in October before going vegetarian (it was 3). My other levels were all good too so other than staying on the Vit D., I had no new meds to take.
Vic, I worry about you taking care of the baby. I know you can do it, but my concern is how much that will stress you out. Could you take one of the rooms back from your mother so that when your daughter comes, she and the baby will have their own space where she is the mother and the baby will not have you to side track her. Plus, you're right, you need nights without hearing the baby. Surely your mother will see that things have changed and now that room must be made available for the baby.
Judy, I am so happy the surgery went well and you are feeling more confident with taking all the meds. You are probably filled with gas so for a few days, as you know, you will be feeling those awful gas pains and the pain from all the moving parts around.
Eileen, I know you are uncertain about what is going on at your job and I cannot imagine what you are dealing with. I am so glad your brother is there to help you.
I cannot remember who else posted and for some reason, I cannot open another tab so I will respond to the rest of you individually. I need to get some water to drink....have a good day...
Hello Yvonne....I am glad you are feeling better today. It feels good to get things done. Enjoy your Bible Study group tonight. I always loved Bible study group. It is amazing what you can learn from some of the verses. It was always interesting.
I did have a great time with my grandchildren. Tonight will be bed early and hopefully a chance to sleep in!! My body is just exhausted!!
Love you...HUGS....connie d
Hello Eileen...I am sorry you are having a rough time right now. I would be all wound up and depressed. All the changes at work being made now and those yet to come. I am praying for you.
Sorry too you are still having some issues with the "youknowwho" situation. When we are overstressed all kinds of things can come back into our heads. HUGS!!!!!!
No, no new news about Nic. It can take another couple weeks yet. I am so stressed over that. I try not to be. After all the ups and downs with him it is hard not to think about both sides of the situation. He talked to be quite a bit about it one evening when we had some quiet time. I try hard to keep him positive.
Let me know what you think of the NeuroStim. I don't know much about it. I sure hope it works well for you!!
You do have a crazy schedule this week. Working every other day might not be so bad.
I will be saying some extra prayers for you.
Love you my friend...HUGS....connie d
Hi Ladies,
I feel better today. At least I got stuffed done even my exercise. I have Bible study tonight. Tomorrow I'm going to go to a new store called five below and kohl's. My friend has her friend up here so it's mostly alone time for me.
Judy glad your surgery went okay. Will pray for a speedy recovery.
Connie glad you had a good time with your grandchildren.
Vickie try to have fun today at the farm.
Arlene hope the pain gets better for you.
Thoughts and prayers for everyone. Everyone have a good day.
Love and hugs,
Yvonne
Judy...I forgot to add that I am praying for your sister, Bonnie. I hope she is doing better at the hospital. Let me know if you hear any more about her condition.
More love and HUGS to you....connie d
