Monday Roll Call

Off to the Chicago History Museum today. They have an exhibit on the history of the Jewish people and their influence on the Chicago area. It is called Shalom Chicago. We were supposed to go see it right after Christmas but I was not feeling real good. We were even on the train platform and said to Dave I have to go home . . . I have a recommendation for a place to eat called RJ Grunts and it is right in between the museum and Lincoln Park Zoo. The museum is right across the street from historic Moody Memorial Church near Clark and North. We will see how much energy we have after walking around the museum and the zoo. We are supposed to get some rain starting around noon. Hopefully it will hold off.

What is happening in your world?

Hello everyone

I am really not feeling well.  I can deal with every thing fine accept the dizziness.  The dizziness is really getting to me.  I was so-so yesterday morning and even worked out.  But as the day went on I felt worse and worse.  But I would feel worse when I would sit and feel it.  So I tried to keep busy.  Then it all caught up to me and I just had to sit down and I really felt yucky.  So around 6pm I just stayed on the couch the rest of the evening.  As soon as I was done with the antibiotics the ear infection and sinus crap came back!!!

Today I have to go in to work.  Unless I am dead or dying.  I am lucky though...the banks are closed today so no money is coming in.  So I am going in early doing my reports and leaving.  I am calling my doctor for more medicine and I am coming home to relax.  I am going to have a crockpot meal ready and I will enjoy that.  And the auditors can kiss my big white sick butt!!!  Or I will blow my nose on them!!!!

That's my sad little day in one little nut shell.  Your day sounds interesting Christine. 

See you all later...bye

Do you possibly have an inner ear infection? That has happened to me in the past. When I would walk, get up/down from a chair it was horrible. When walking I would feel like I was always walking into the walls and almost felt drunk even though I did not drink anything.

Hope you can get something from the doc to help you feel better.

Yes I do have an inner ear infection.  I was taking antibiotics for it but I guess they weren't strong enough.  I am running into walls too!!!  And when I get up sometimes I fall right back into my seat again.  I don't like it.  It feels like I'm walking in a dream or something. 

The dream analogy is good. I also felt like I was moving in slow motion.

Take care.

Hi Christine,

Your day sounds like an interesting one. I hope it stays nice for at least part of it for you guys,

Crystal, I hope you feel better. My best friend has been complaining of intense dizziness as well. She was in all weekend with it. Sounds like some viral thing. Feel better!

I am working today and that's pretty much it for me. My car is warming up as we speak. 

Have a great day everyone............

Hugs,

Sharon

Sharon, there are many other exhibits at the museum. There also is the US Seal of the Emancipation, other Chicago stories, Lincoln, Chicago as the Crossroads. We usually cannot get through the whole museum when we go.

Good morning Illinoisans!

The weather forecast has moderated a bit for today so everyone will probably be able to be out and about with minimal hassle. I have to go fax some stuff because i can't get the scan or fax part of the printer to work and I'm not interested in messing with it.

I might go to the Bookworm and knit for a while. I'm making a shawl out of yarn from new Zealand which is 100% possum! I hear that their possum is different from ours and that this is the underhair. It's very soft and VERY warm and fun to knit with because it is different. A friend from New Zealand gave it to me as a gift.

Enjoy your day!

Happily the weather held off for us at the zoo. It started dripping at about 3+pm, we hailed a cab and went back to Union Station.

Late breakfast, taking grand kids out to have a late lunch today. They have been wanting to go to Golden Corral so I thought today would be a great day for this. I decided on it being a late lunch so then it will be my dinner except having my jello and fruit tonight. 

Other then that not a lot going on, gotta get my exercise in.  

I hope the rain holds out till after 4 then I won't get wet on my walk. I also hope the snow that is being called for holds off till I get up to Wheeling !

Have a nice day and stay dry!
