Monday

Good morning!

Yeah, wouldn't you believe it! The day that I HAVE TO get up at 3:30, I slept so well that I even hit the snooze when the alarm went off! Now, why can I sleep that good on my day off??? Noooooo....those days I'm wide awake by 12, 1, 2, 3 in the morning! Ah well. At least I DO feel like I slept last night so that is a very good thing!

I had a few things on my 'known' list of stuff to do today  that I either have done or they are going. Not bad for 6:50 in the morning! LOL! I did get a few surprise things to do in my email that I'll begin working on after I go have my breakfast. I am determined that today WILL be a good day!

I hope all of your Monday is off to a fantastic start!

Good Monday morning fellow Hoosier Losers.  I am off work today, actually I am only working four days this week and I am greatful for that.  I still have my grandkids so maybe I will have more time to spend with them instead of playing maid. 

I have to go to the grocery some time today, I hate that job.  I am not used to feeding three extra's so it seems like I go to the store every three days.  At least I will have plenty of help carrying in the groceries. 
My son came home from S Carolina late Sat, its so good to have him home.  He missed playing his drums while he was gone so today he plans to have a few friends over so they can practice.  I intend to be shopping and then swimming for this lol.  What a weird summer we are having when it comes to the weather.  Its been so hard to plan anything this year.

Enjoy your son while he is home!!! And I understand about the need to shop and swim while he is jamming on the drums!!LOL

You are so right!! I remember summer days well over 100.. I dont think we have made it past 90,

Be well all... making plans with Melissa and the girls today.

Hi all. I'm back at work today. I took off from Wednesday night last week through the rest of the week from both jobs. I was just having too hard of a time. I was having nightmares of the accident and waking up over an over. I just felt too down. Sometimes I actually physically hurt, my heart hurts, the pain is so bad. I'm getting back on track this week though. I decided I needed a fresh start, and started yesterday on the apartment. It was a pit, so I spent 10 hours cleaning, washing laundry, putting away clothes, vacuuming, etc.,... The place looked much, much better then, and I felt better.

Today I'm back at work. I even got in 30 minutes of lap swimming before work. I feel like I have so much to catch up on, though. But I can do it. I feel that's a strength in me. I keep trying. I get up each morning, some are better than others, but I haven't given up this time. I really did give up for some time after my Lucy died. I haven't let that happen though.

We went school clothes shopping for Mikey on Saturday night. He has grown alot, and needed new pants, shirts, and shoes for starting middle school on the 18th. Good thing I get my discount. That boy's expensive! Also good thing Sears has layaway!

Good afternoon All

Back at work today since my surgery, I am tired but doing good.  I went for a walk for part of my lunch break, feel good except my hip is giving me fits, I should have taken a pain pill before I went but I did not think about. 

I am down 10 lbs.  I am so glad I am back on the losing bench.  I will be glad when I can get back to the YMCA, I miss going to workout.  We have support group there tomorrow night, so if I get done with my foot doctor appointment I think I will go over to the Y early and walk around the gym.  I am planningon meeting with Tracy and others Staurday morning for a walk around Matters Park.  I will need the exercise since we are pulling out Saturday afternoon for Kentucky, I hate it but we will be coming back on Sunday.

Well my lunch break is over and I need to get back to work.

Everyone have a wonderful Monday.

Hugs

Peggy

Good Afternoon All,

Update on my friend Phil, he's doing better. He told me to stay home today he has a day of tests and PT planned all day. He said I looked tired and he would be right.
I am a little stressed out but I will me alright. Please keep him in your prayers, I know they are helping. 

I wish all a great day, lots of love , big hugs & many blessings, Gail

Hi All,  Not posting much these days with getting busier at work and home... well, home is lets say, MESSED UP with the well guys and septic guys there. OMG! This last week has been a mess. After drilling 2 wells on our property they finally stuck H2O and now we have 4 well pipes sticking out of the ground (2 old and 2 new w/ 1 working). LOL sounds like a mess and I've only started. Anyway, the guys from the well company will take care of the old pipes and cut them down and they have been great. Now for the septic, we found out that it was not put in correctly 5 years ago so we now have a beef with the health dept here in town for passing the inspection on the work previously done by the old septic company (in which the guy is dead now) . The new contractor said that the system was F-ed up and so they took pictures of the bad system so we have evidence and he is going to write us up a report regarding the condition since the health dept guy is jerking our chain. We will most likely have to jump through all the red tape hoops but, they were faulty and by goodness we shouldn't have to pay for it twice!
So, that is why I am so busy to post much. LOL inderstand? yeppers.
With that, I hope you all have a great day. Mine is tiring because mentally and physically since my husband and I worked out at the Brickyard 400 with my daughter cooking in a tent for her highschool fund raiser. It was a great day. Nice weather and all but, we worked hard. Body hurts a bit but, we earned some good money to go towards her band fees. Yeah!  :)

Hi all,
Sipping my protein drink trying to remain calm today. I posted earlier just to vent so I wont revisit that.

I am hoping Johanna that your septic situation is closer to being resolved. I can understand being busy with that and not having time for posting.

Sherri, I dont know why it always happens that we sleep better on those days we have to get up for work! It is not fair lol! I am glad you feel rested though.

I have lots of things to do today and have got some of that list done. I will be trying to convince myself to go to the support group later. I know it would help me. I just am so aggravated today!

I hope you all have a good week and may God bless you all.

Good Day All,

Had a huge RSD flare up Saturday, well I had to struggle through it because we had planned a cookout for my Grandfather that came down from Michigan, Matt's dad and brother in from Illinois, and Matt's other brother, sister inlaw, two neices, and a nephew from Georgia. Matt couldn't help me because he had a Special Olympics Golfing Sectional in Lafayette from noon till 6 p.m. I got thru it but slept from 11:30 pm Saturday night till just about 3 p.m on Sunday. 

Having another flare up today because of the rainy weather coming in so I was very sore and slow moving getting ready to see Dr Bergman today at 2:30. Walked outside to head to my PCP to pick my my medical documents & letter & low and behold I had a flat tire. Started calling around and no one in this small poo-dunk town has a tire for my van till Wednesday. UGHHHH!!!!!! So upset. So I called Dr Bergman's office to reschedule and the office lady told me that after Wednesday Dr Bergman was busy with scheduled surgeries up till the middile of August. So now I don't get to see her till August 24th. Frustrating - but something about it tells me to be calm that it's part of GOD's plan for me to wait. 

Sherri, I know what you mean about the sleeping. I haven't been on a sleep schedule for three months now. I got to where my body only lets me sleep two or three hours during the night for up to three days in a row. I would LOVE to have a solid nights sleep. But seems that only happens when I have planned a busy day and when I wake up to that busy day I find I've overselpt by at least 30 minutes, LOL. Never fails. Hope it gets better for you. 

Blessings & Prayers
Jodi
