Labor Day Roll Call

Hello everyone

Yesterday I got done everything done I wanted to and then some.  Chris came over and he just opened up and told me a lot about his ex and how she can be.  He did admit that me meeting her is a touchy thing and he just doesn't want to deal with it.  I said that was fine...no reason to rush things.  When the times comes I hope that it could amicable...he said that he never knows how she's going to react to things and that's what makes things so tiring.  The constant drama and anger....he said that is what he loves about me.  That my happy outlook and my goofiness is such a breath of fresh air.  And he said he actually likes that fact that when I am upset about something I just come out and say it.  I don't play the..."I'm fine"...game.  Who would of thought that my big mouth and the fact I like to let people know when I'm angry...LOL....would be a trait someone likes.  But I guess it is frustrating if someone just says...I'm fine...when you know they're not.   

Well today...all I have to do is go to Dominicks to pick up some fruit for the week.  I was going to workout but I am sooo sore...so maybe I will go for a walk....it will be so nice out.  Then today Chris has to work but he only has to work till 5pm...so he said he wants to take me out for dinner.  So I guess I am going to out to dinner.  That is all for the day...so a day of relaxation.

What about you guys???

Nancy- I am sorry you are having trouble at work.  They really do seem to treat their employees crappy.  I worked for a company like that and the level of resentment that built up inside me.  You really don't deserve that...but none of the good employees there do. 

Sharon-  I'm sure G will find something soon.  When the right jobs comes along it will be his for the taking.  I keep telling Chris the same thing.  He hates his job so much.  But I keep telling him that when the right job comes along he will get.  When he interviews some where and doesn't get the job...I just say it wasn't meant to be.  That job wasn't not yours.  For strength training I have been using DVDs.  My gym doesn't have machines.  But using your own body for weight training really does work...like lunges and planks and push ups...I am dying at the end. 

Connie-  I must say you lead such a nice and peaceful life surrounded by wonderful people.  I love it...

Well I think I am going to go for that walk...it's a great time.  See you all later...bye. 

Happy Day of No Working!

I just got home from my volunteer duties at the church. I get more than I give.

Today we are going to grill something simple and just stick close to the house since tomorrow is back to the grind for G.

Crystal, I love people who say what they feel and don't hold anything back. My mom was like that. I prefer someone who gives it to me straight instead of a little at a time that I have to drag out of them or worse 3 months later after I have forgotten all about whatever it is I did.

Last night, something ate me alive in bed. I woke up with about 20 mosquito bites. UGH! Tonight before I go to bed, I am going to put a bug light in my room to zap the little blood sucker. What's the best thing to stop the itching?// I want to itch myself raw. But i know that is a bad thing......

Enjoy the rest of this last smooch of summer.

Hugs,

Sharon

Sometimes vinegar will stop the itch.  There is also a product sold that comes in a tube that is a roll on that is called bite back or itch relief.  You can get it at any drug store or Walmart.  It REALLY works.  Dont let those little suckers get to you!  

Happy Labor Day,

Hubert is working today, but he will be home by 3 at the latest. All we are doing is grilling out some chicken and using up the leftovers from Sat.

I have done the laundry and picked up the house. I am going to watch a movie on Nextflix and then just go outside and  relax.

Crystal, you are a special person.

Nancy, St. Mary's has a walkin on the south side of Ottawa, as well as the Ottawa Hospital. They both have specialist. Who were you going to?

Kim, have a great trip.

Sharon, a relaxing day with your hubby, priceless.

Dawn, have fun with the tractor pulls this afternoon,

Connie, I agree, you and Kay have an awesome amount of friends to do things with.

Have a great end of summer day.

Hugs,

Happy Labor Day!

Our neighbors had a party last night for the new neighbors behind us. It was nice to meet them and a few others who live nearby. We have been so blessed with great neighbors, even if we only see them a few times a year.

Today I am really tired. I guess one normal day and one really slow day. I can do that. I have been following the Diana Nyad swim from Cuba to Key West. It looks like she will make it in the next hour or so and even set a record. What an amazing feat!

Kay's been working in the yard since early this morning. Now she's done because she is overheated. I guess she'll watch netflix movies this afternoon. We are having homemade tamales for dinner that a friend made for us. That's about it for us today.

Enjoy your day!

Connie

Good Afternoon Everyone!

I will be leaving soon to go to the grocery store.  Have to get that done yet before the weekend is over.  

Thanks for the tips on the clinics.  The major problem with those is these tests have to be done on a regular basis so I have to have a regular doctor to monitor and order the tests.  Also I dont want to have to go to a clinic every time I need a prescription renewed.  Furthermore, the doctor must be in network for my insurance company or I pay through the nose.  I can use some of these measures on a temporary basis but not for long term.   And if I have to establish new records I want to do it with one doctor.  Someone who understands that I do not present with the normal symptoms.  I indeed am unique.  The doctor I had would follow his hunches and that is what saved my life several times.  Emergency rooms were misdiagnosing things and my doctor would always get it on the nose.  

Crystal, I am a straight forward person as well.  Lots of people dont like that but I dont want things bottled up.  To me it is better to deal with it up front.  

Connie, follow your body.  If you are tired, listen to its advice.  It knows best.  I am glad you had fun at your gatherings yesterday.  

Lisa your day sounds great.  Good luck going back to work tomorrow.  It can take time to get back into the groove.  

Sharon, I hope you and G have a wonderful relaxing day.

Dawn, it looks like you really had fun yesterday.

Randy, hope you and Cheryl are feeling ok.

Kim, have a good trip.

Everyone have a great day.
