Thursday Morning

Happy, happy Thursday!  This is my Friday.   Although with having Monday off as a holiday, I think I will work Saturday (OT) for a few hours.  I’ll still feel like I had a weekend. 

 

We were without power from 7 pm last night to after 1 am this morning.  It got pretty chilly in the house.  Of course when the power came back on so did the lights and my CD player so Tink started barking, she’s a good little watch dog.  Poor kitty climbed under the covers with me and her paws were so cold.  She wanted to snuggle.  Thankfully it warmed up by 3:30 when I got up to get ready for work I hate to be cold when I get out of the shower.

 

Trish, Ashley, and I ventured out earlier in the evening to Starbucks and Panera Bread, she for bagels and I for coffee.  The wind was fierce!  Almost blew me sideways at one point where the road was open field.  I was glad to get back home.

 

Going to the Clarian support group meeting in ****ro tonight.  Does anyone else go up there?  It’s closer to me than the one on the Westside.  I thought I’d try it.  I do miss going to the meetings with Brenda and Floyd and seeing other friendly faces.

 

Has anyone heard from Terry on Lyn?

 

Best get to work.  Lot to accomplish today.  May you all have a blessed day.  Keep looking up!

Good morning.  We were without power from 5:30 pm until 9:25 pm.  Not too long, but long enough to be an inconvience!  I can't stand being in the dark! It is annoying!

I am up early and heading to Louisville to be with Maria C., aka pentacostgal_76 on here, as she joins up on the losers bench!  Her surgery is scheduled for 10:30 am, so please keep her in your thoughts and prayers.  I will update her condition later this evening when I return home. 

Take care and everyone have a great day!

Good Morning my fellow Hoosier Losers and soon to be Losers.  I am off work today but have a big day planned.  Will be meeting with my mom, grandma and aunt for a day of shopping in Greenwood.  Its my aunts birthday so we will stop for lunch, I am looking forward to eating out, thats something I really haven't done since surgery.  Sheila and I stopped at Subway when we went to see Terry and Lyn and of course I eat at McD's a few times a week since thats where I work but other than that I havent had someone else cook for me and bring me my food for months.

I also have my six month follow up appt with my surgeon today.  I went and had my blood draw a couple weeks ago so I will be getting the results today, this is my first blood draw so I am anxious to see the results.  I know I have room for improvement when it comes to taking my supplements.  I am not sure if I can hang out in Greenwood from 10 AM until 6PM to make the support group meeting tonight or not, so I am not making any promises but if anyone cares to go I may see ya there.   I would love to go I just dont know if I can shop that much lol.

Good morning everyone!

Well..no migraine today. Just a regular old fashion headache. I think it's from lack of sleep...there was a piece of old siding or guttering outside on the wall our headboard is on that kept banging all through the night. After as strong as that wind was, Bill may not have any choice but to get the roof redone right now too. It was kinda hard to tell at 4:30, but it looked like we were missing several roof shingles. We didn't lose our power any..just our shingles.

Today's my Friday too..only I won't be going in this weekend to work. I'm hoping I hear something back from Dr. Gupta this afternoon or tomorrow. I asked Dr. Wittle's nurse to ask him a few questions for me too. If he says 'yes' to any of the 3 of them, I hope he contacts Dr. Gupta and discussed it/them with her.

You all have a good day!

Hi all! How are you doing? I hope everyone's well. I am a happy woman. I don't work tonight!!! Just a night to relax. I was working last night at Sears, and heard from several customers that the power was out in West Terre Haute. Luckily it stayed on at our place throughout.

Good morning all!

Wow the wind was CRAZY last night!  I am looking forward to a day at home.  I have been out and about for the past couple of days and need to get some things done here. 

The kids have a 2hr delay because of power outages at the school.  So they are still snuggled down in their beds.  Wish I was!  LOL


Have a great day!

Huge hugs,
Tracy

Goodmorning everyone!

At work already this morning but wish I was home in bed.  I went to bed earlier than normal and slept like a rock so I'm a little stiff this morning - but hey not crankie like yesterday so it can't be bad! 

I have a busy day planned - if all goes well I'll call a million insurance companies today - they'll have all the answers I want - everyone will pay and I won't wait on hold for hours....MAN I'm demanding!

Have a meeting tonight after work that I'm not looking forward to...but that may change as the day goes on.  I'm supposed to give self-enrichment and some days I just don't have ANYTHING positive to say so like Mom says - if I can't say anything nice I don't say anything at all   I think I'll  something positive and enlightening will come to me.

Huggs!!

Hi Everyone and Happy Thursday!!  
The roof is still intact here in Crothersville!!  But there were times that I thought it was going to blow off! My brother was struggling to keep my neice's big wooden swing set/play area from tipping over yesterday. That thing is huge. So I know that wind was really moving to make that thing move!
My baby neice, Sydnee turned 2 yesterday. She is the little red head that was with me at the clothing exchange. I sure needed a dose of happy from her!!  She was running around saying, "happy! happy! happy!". It was sooo cute. She was giving hugs out left and right so I got more than my share of those!! Seeing things through the eyes of a child really lightens up rooms I believe. Took my mind off things for a while. And it was good to see my Dad feeling better and stronger.
It is coming up on a year this month that I had my tumor removed and the hysterectomy. That brings me to almost a year with the leg injury I suffered while I was unconscious for that surgery.  Two more surgeries for that... 3 surgeries in 9 days. And I finally got to come home.  The changes in my life are huge.  I haven't been able to work since then.  That really effects my self worth. Dealing with chronic nerve pain is a daunting task. Some days it takes all of my concentration to get through the pain without just curling into a ball and crying the day away. This also messes up my memory. I am not cooking anymore when I am home alone. I have smoked up my house one too many times.  I don't drive much due to it not being safe. I still fall alot with my foot just hanging there. I have a herniated disc in my neck now due to a fall.  So most of the time I can't turn my head enough to drive safely. And if my concentration is so poor I can't cook... I sure shouldn't be driving! LoL
I feel a huge amount of guilt feeling down with this pain.  There are so many people who have major crisis' going on in their lives.  My heart goes out to each and every one of you with loved ones so ill. 

Hi everyone,
  What a night! We lost power for 2 1/2 hrs. & alot of limbs off trees, & streets flooded. Worked till 11pm. at the flower shop, & drug myslef home. Woke up at 5;30 with banging going on- my grandson's computer crashed last night & hewas beating of it- like that will help-  scared me to death! I thought a tree limb had crashed on our roof. Anyway, he'll get a new one  but lost all of his music he'd downloaded,files, photos, etc. it would have helped if he'd done a backup, but hadn't since Sept.

  I am going to work again today- we have 5 funerals plus all of the valentines work. I really enjoy helping out, but boy, it gets hectic!!!had one young man come in after hrs. buying flowers & he gave us a tip- boy, that doesn't happen very often! We have a jar we keep extra change in, so it went in there, for tea, coffee, drinks, etc. I enjoy doinbg those flowers, but boy, my body can tell i haven't worked like that in awhile. SORE!
  
  I noticed our lilac bushes are starting to bud, so it must be getting closer to spring- woo- hoo!!! I love spring- the renewal of life & the earth from the slumber of winter. Our bird feeder has been busy lately- we can't keep enough food in it for all the redbirds. jays, juncos, morning doves& barnswallows coming for seed. 
  
  Have a great day everyone. Prayers for all those who need them- hi to all th newbies, good luck to all those having surgeries- & (((((((hugs))))))) to all!

Ellen - I'm so jealous you have a lilac bush.  We had to cut our's down a few years ago  Just this morning we were talking about Valentine's day  being the creation of florist, jewelers and candy makers.   Anyway, I said I'd rather have lilacs ANY day of the week over roses ...because that tree was right outside my bedroom window.  I smelled EVERY night as I was growing up.  I was 33 when we cut it down because it had a disease... I'm still  over it.  When yours blooms run out there and bag me some SCENT in a ziplock ok!?!  Like Emeril says we need smellovision and you could just email it to me

Huggs!!
