Mid Week Wednesday Hump Day Road Call.

I can't believe that tomorrow is Halloween (also the last day of October) and the day after tomorrow will be November 1st. Where did October go? Also I can't believe that my Chiari Malformation Type 1 surgery isjust 13 days away, before I know it that Nov. 12th with be here.

From yesterday to this Friday I'll be watching one of my aun's two dogs for her. I have to take care of something wih the hospital today that I'm going to have my surgery at. Off and on for this week I'm doing apartment cleaining. I'm not sure what I'll be doing for Halloween tomorrow, I guess I'll be playing it by ear. It seems that I find something to do for each day even if coming up with something by the time I wake up each day.

How's was everyone first half of the week went for you? I hope your second half of the week goes for you. I hope your day goes well for you on this fine mid week day (Wednesday) that we call hump day. Take care everyone.

Jason.

Hello everyone

I do feel much better because I was given antibiotics and painkillers.  My tooth is abscessed and needs some time to heal a little before being fixed.  But even so I have to go to a specialist because it seems my tooth has curvy roots...it's curvy like a question mark.  Yep and the dentist said he wouldn't be able to get at the whole root.  So my ordeal continues but at least I am pain free now.  And last night I was able to eat a little.  My stomach was so upset because of the stress of seeing the dentist and the all of the pain medicine on an empty stomach.  But I had a little bit of chicken and some mashed potatoes (I changed to mashed when this happened...LOL).  Maybe it was because I hadn't eaten anything in more than 24 hours but that was some really good chicken and mashed potatoes I made.  I have leftovers for tonight.   

I will attempt to workout tonight too (these pain meds make me sleepy so I might not get a full workout).  Geeze how these little things in your life pop up and drive you off your course.  If your not careful you never get back on.  I am usually a big fan of October...but I am really looking forward to November.  This has been a crappy month for me.  November will be better. 

I am looking forward to the weekend I just want to veg out now.  After all of this and a sleepless night of tooth pain...I just want to sleep and relax.  Hahaha. 

So how is everyone else doing???  Well I hope.

I got to get back to work...see ya laters gators. 

Hi Jason and Friends,

Time sure is flying. I am looking forward to finally going back to work on Friday. It has been 533 days since I worked a full time job. Zowie!  I am ready to jump right in and see what I can do for this practice.

I am still sick. I am still coughing like mad. It is all in my chest. I am also weak and fatigue easily. Tonight, I am going to bed with vicks on the bottom of my feet with warm socks. Hope I can sleep. I sleep nudo and cannot stand any kind of clothes on me, not even socks. This is the first time I have ever had bronchitis. I had no idea it was this bad.

G reneged on his promise to see our pastor about his friendship with Silvia. I found out he is still talking to her daily on his ri.des to and from work. I also suspect she is calling him on his work phone during the day. I am hurt and sad. When a mate starts lying about this sort of thing it never can be a good sign. To say we are not on the same page is an understatement. The upside is I cannot eat because I am so sad. I guess everything has a silver lining. I am beginning to believe I may be a single senior citizen. I dont put up with much. I doubt i will tolerate this for very long.

I am making my favorite Puerto Rican dish for dinner to take to my daughter's house. It's her 8th wedding anniversary and her husband is away on a business trip. So to cheer her up I am bringing her; her favorite meal. It is a chicken stew with a red sauce that is served with potatoes over rice.  http://www.goya.com/english/recipes/chicken-fricasee My mom used to make it for me on my birthday.

Well, I am debating whether to buy candy and answer the doorbell tomorrow or just turn all the lights off and go upstairs to my bedroom and sleep through Halloween. Hmmmm, let's see........

Hugs my dear ones,

Sharon

Hey there Illinois!

I just got home from my girlfriend's house.  We were making Sage Smudge sticks to clarify our houses.  We also talked about lots of stuff. 

I opened my heart to her about some of the childhood pain.  She has known me since I was 10 and moved to Rockton. After the strange thing of the PAID LCSW not remembering my issues, I told her some stuff that I haven't yet had a chance to tell him.  She suggests that I save the cash and talk to her, but I say it is too traumatic to subject a friend.  On the way home though (a 45 minute drive).......I got an epiphany!!!!!!!  The reason that my past is bothering me now, is the fact that my family treats me like I am not important...........just like my childhood.  SO.......I am thinking I should stop letting them ride all over me and set some boundries?  Maybe a breakthrough.......not sure.

Sharon.......the first time I had bronchitis, I seriously thought I would die from not being able to breathe.  take it seriously.

Sharon-  I can't believe this.  What is G thinking...potentialy throwing away a wonderful marriage and beautiful woman for this person.  And the fact he is continuing with this behavior and behind your back.  I hate to say this but I believe there are some strong feelings on G's side...if he can't seem to let go of this relationship/friendship.  And the fact he didn't want to talk to the pastor...because he knows what he is going to hear.  At this point he doesn't want to hear it. 

As far as bronchitis goes.  Ugh...I have gotten that before.  I also have gotten pneumonia several times.  I seem to be prone to lung infections.  I had pneumonia 4 times before the age 5.  Then I got it a few times as a teen.  Again at 30 and 36...it's awful.  The last time I got it I was at work and ended up at my doctor's office.  He said after listening to my lungs...why in the world were you at work...if you don't go home and rest, the next time I see you is in the hospital!!!  I am the kind of person that wants to try to keep going.  Hahahaha!!!! 

Good afternoon, 

We always skip Halloween. In fact we sit in the back of the house with all visible lights off. I got tired of seeing 14 and 15 year olds who do not live in our neighborhood at the door, no costumes and big pillowcases--really? 

Today was the first Wednesday at the Woolgathering. It went quite well. I actually got a lot done instead of visiting and helping. 

No other significant plans today.

Connie

Unfortunately......my family ate it all.  More reason to make more!

Hello Everyone

I am still around.  I have been viewing everything but have not had time to post.  I am making the effort tonight even thogh it is 9:30 in the evening. I am not sure how the days are getting by me so fast but it is always late when I wind up here.  

Things are going ok at work for now.  Nothing new to report.  Time will tell.  I have decided not to sweat anything.  I have given my all and if it is not good enough, then I dont want to work there.  So what will happen will happen.  I am not slouching off but I am not going to tie myself up in knots over everything any longer.  They are just not worth it.

I am with everyone else, I cant  believe that October is over.  I am not doing trick or treat tomorrow nite.  It is supposed to be rainy and nasty.  We have 77 kids coming to trick or treat at the office so I bought candy for there.  

Jason. the next 2 weeks are going to fly by for you. Enjoy dog sitting.  I go to my neighbors house to get my dog fix.  

Crystal,  I am so sorry to hear about your abcessed tooth.  No wonder you were in such pain.  It is amazing how fast antibiotics can bring relief.  

Sharon, I hate bronchitis.  I have put up with it several times a year all my life.  People do not realize how horrible you feel with it.  It really wipes you out and leaves you with zero energy!  Take care of yourself!  I am dumbfounded that G is continuing to talk to Sylvia.  That is truly disheartening.  I do not understand what is going through his mine.  He may need to hear just how much these conversations can cost him.  He truly needs to decide what is important to him.  

Dawn, I am so glad you could talk to your friend.  Also, your thoughts of being walked on may be a true insight that will help you understand how to value yourself more.  YOU are worth it.  

Connie, I am glad your new knitting site was a pleasant venture today.

Ellen, I am glad you were able to catch some sleep.  That is such a valuable commodity.  Hopefully this does not happen too often.  

Everyone have a great halloween!  

Good evening Nancy,

That's good to hear that you're still around. Cool. You got to do, what you got to do, Right?

That's great that things at work are going okay for you. I guess that would be good news that there's nothing to report. Indeed that time will tell. Cool. Just like that song "Que Sera, Sera (Whatever Will be, Will Be)".

I hope you're right about that the next two weeks will fly by for me. I'm enjoying dog sitting, thank you. Coo, sweet.

Have a great night. Happy Halloween.
