Topic: RE: Saturday Roll Call

Hello everyone

I'm back....and I'm married!!!  I had a fabulous time, it's too bad it couldn't last longer.

I have done nothing but lay around today.  I have not been feeling well.  I can't tell if it's allergies or if I'm legitimately sick.  It's just weird that as soon as I get back I would get sick.  Which leads me to believe it's allergies.  I was feeling so good in California.  I have been taking my allergy meds and extra antihistamines to try to unblock my sinuses.  My ears are screwy because of the flight.  They popped really badly coming into O'Hare.  My ears...all the way down the side of my neck to my jaw was throbbing in pain from the plane!!!  Then I fell asleep with the fan on and sometime during the night my nose got completely blocked and I was breathing through my mouth so I woke up with my throat feeling very raw.  And I feel very worn down and tired....but that could be from the time change and not getting enough sleep.  So I can't figure out if I'm sick.  So I am treating it like allergies right now.  I am taking extra vitamins just in case I am sick.  

Tomorrow I am supposed to go to church but I will see how I feel.  I want to rest up before work.

Greg of course is insisting that I don't do anything and just rest.  So he has been doing the laundry and groceries and meal prep.  He said "you always do everything around here...let me take care of things when you don't feel good"  Awwww...he is so sweet. 

Christine- your pictures on Facebook were awesome.  It made me wish I had gone whale watching.  We decided against it because I get so sea sick.  I know...weird I can sky dive but boats make me queasy.  We unfortunately forgot the nice camera and only had our phones.  Oh well.

Well have a good evening all.  Bye

Hi friends,

The store is going well, and we are healthy and content. Not much news from our corner of the world, just the usual busyness. Calm is nice.

Crystal's pictures were delightful!

Take care,

Connie

Happy hot Saturday. I went out shortly to take pictures of the flowers at the country club and that is about all the time I will spend out there. There were close to 50 people on the Metra platform waiting to go to the air show. We did that a few times and never again. It is always steamy on this week-end.

Doing some photo editing and need to straighten up a little in the dining room and kitchen.

Is she local to the Chicago area, had her surgery here? You can direct her here to this group? We enjoy having new members. Have her join the daily roll call - tho this summer the roll call has been sporadic due to schedules. For me I am taking care of an ailing husband, there has been a wedding, worker bees, vacations etc.

Not many. Who is your doctor or where are you planning on going to transfer your medical care to? Look into Dr Jeff Rosen or Dr Mikhal with LifeWeigh Bariatrics at Good Sam in Downers Grove, IL.

Ps LifeWeigh is for their patients only. You might want to check out the Kane Group out of Alexian Brothers in Elk Grove Village or their sister hospital St Alexius in Hoffman Estates. There are other groups in the Joliet or Evanston Central IL areas. Many of these areas are a pretty good distance away from the other.

Don't forget, schools will be starting in the next few weeks, slow down in school zones.

We will be leaving for our Branson get away at noon. All I need to do is pack the car and get gas. Tonight we are going to meet some old friends in Burlington, Iowa,  for dinner. We haven't seen them in probably 20 years.

I need to go and strip my garden before we leave. I will take it to Monica's  when we pick up Morgan. I did water yesterday. Hopefully we will get a bit of rain while we are gone. I really don't want anythine to burn up yet.

Have a great day and a better tomorrow.

Hugs,

 

Lisa

Hello Everyone!

I cant believe we are already into August!  Where does this time go???  It will be September 18th before I know it and I will once again be facing leaving work.  It still has been busy.  As of Friday there are only 11 of us left answering phones.  It seems empty in the building.  It is sad.  I miss everyone who was there at one time.  It does not seem possible that so many are gone.  I am glad I am not there until the very end.  That would be REALLY sad.  I think I am still in denial.  

Crystal's wedding pictures have been beautiful!  She looks so happy!  She made a beautiful bride.  

Dawn made me want to go to South Carolina and go to the beach!  I loved her pictures as well.  It seems like summer was so short and Live was here for like a week! 

Lisa, I see you are off on another trip.  I like Branson.  Have fun!  Taking Morgan should be lots of fun.  

Chris, I am glad you and Dave are planning another cruise.  That will be fun.  Also I am so glad that Dave is getting back to normal.  That sure was a big scare!

Rick and I have been hanging in there.  Gage was here over the weekend. He was headed back for his junior year at Augustana.  He was in Japan for 3 weeks in June.  He goes back for 3 months this spring.  He is doing great!  We are so proud of him.  Still making straight A's.  We just wish he would have some fun.  

The cats are being cats.  No recent adventures.  Everyone is in a rut.  

Enjoy the last of your summer.  

    Cat Lady
