awake

I cant sleep.....this virus of whatever is no fun.....I sweat....wake up......I cough....wake up......my body hurts....wake up......

I cant go to the dr cuz I have no insurance now......

I am 4 weeks no cokes......I had some sprite because I am not feeling well and hoped it would settle my stomach some......ewwww that was gross......I am a COKE drinker.....not Sprite, Pepsi or Dew or Dr. P, so there is no worries of me transferring my habit to another soda.

I gained 2 pounds since putting the cokes down....

I think it is peri menopuase....night sweats, mood swings....bit*hy, crazy cycle, oh wait.....thats called raising a teenage son and raising my husband.....oops.....

anyhow......its raining......again.......

bye

Oh Tams,
So sorry you are feeling so bad. This weather doesn't help either. But you've got 11 days to start feeling better!!! We need our cheerleader up and running with her bells on. Anyway, just wanted to say I hope you get to feeling better real soon. Also ya know, the last time my husband had a cold, I fixed him a couple of hot toddies and he started feeling a lot better. Might give one a try.

Honey, I'm so sorry you're this sick. Gee., you were sick before I left!  If this continues, is there a clinic you can go to that has a sliding scale for payment? Gotta take care of yourself.

Soooooo very proud of you for kicking the Coke habit. Wow...

Still recuperating from the trip. Last night my San Diego Chargers played Monday Night Football against our rival Oakland Raiders. The game didn't come on until 9:15 our time, so we DVR'd it and watched the rest this morning. Wasn't pretty, but they won. Fortunately I don't have to be at wor****il noon, so I'm still sitting around. I did get a crock pot of chili made for Gary. Have to work late tonight so he'll have dinner when he gets home.

SaintBella is up and running on etsy.com.  The address is: saintbella.etsy.com if you want to check it out. Long time coming, but so worth it!

Off to the showers. Love you all!

Long time no talk!  Life has been super busy -- I've been adjusting to my new norm of being two people on the job (not a bad thing, will hopefully turn into a little more $$ soon), but this week I'm three people at work.  Soccer, cub scouts, gymnastics, and the little kids' school's major fundraiser are all upon me... ack, I'm drowning!  Plus I'm trying to keep up with my runs.  I was trying for 10 miles this last weekend, but a stomach bug and the weather conspired against me.  There's about 5 weeks left until the big race, so I've still got some time.

Anyway, I was really disappointed I missed the latest 'Bux GTG.  I saw the post a couple days later when I popped in for a second.  I'll definitely catch y'all at the walk, though.  My dear, sweet, little boy who all of a sudden decided to be a cub scout came home last week and announced there's a mother-son campout the weekend of the 26th and guess what, Mommy?  I *really* want to go with you!  Ummmm, uhhhh, I'm sure I've got something going on that weekend (what is it????) OH YEAH, it's the Walk From Obesity (whew).  Maybe next year, ha ha ha.  But in the meantime, when's the DADDY-son campout? *wink wink*

I just took a loot at your etsy site... I LOVE IT!!!!  Your labels are precious, the names are cute, and your prices are very reasonable.  I think you've got a hit on your hands, girl!

Off to catch up on everything else I missed...

Since my surgery, it takes me forever to be full blown sick, I will have symptoms for weeks then all of a sudden it hits me. Everyone in my house is sick, my daughter and her boyfriends family too.

I think some of it is I am not out in public since not working....and my son brings the sniffles home from the school and it grabs ahold of me.

I am not near death....just feel like it.....feel like the triple d twins are trying to escape.....my incisions even hurt and I cant wear a bra....thank god they are perky pups.....sorry Steve

ok....I did modify myself a hot toddy,,,,,I used rum....of course my fever broke and the husband thought I wet the bed and elbowed me and called me old and asked if I needed a diaper....

I will be at the walk.....trust me.....I wont miss it.......

hugs
Tammy

I heard somewhere that people who lost their jobs were supposed to be able to get COBRA at a break, have you checked into that?  It's supposed to be something like you only pay 35% of the premium as part of the stimulus package... I know that's probably still a lot of money for you, but it's certainly better than nothing!  Google "cobra benefits stimulus package" to see what I'm talking about.  I think even if your benefits have lapsed you can get back on.

I'm sorry you're feeling so crappy.  But you are awesome for dropping the cokes!  I can't wait for the darn rain to be over. 

the COBRA was way expensive.....when I was working it was almost 120 a week for my ins. I think cobra was almost 300 or so . 

I am just keeping an eye on myself and taking otc meds.

I am hopefully getting a car tomorrow....when they let me go they took my car too....nice huh, so I have been driving his huge dually.....hopefully tomorrow night I will have a car then a job shortly. I am not having fun with this unemployment crap

SUCK.  I was afraid of that.  No car, too?!  I would be going stir crazy for sure.  Unemployment is for the birds!

Hoping and PRAYING you get something ASAP!!!
