WHATS HAPPENING THURSDAY 1-21
Good morning everyone…..well I got thru 3 days of work, im off till Tuesday if I don’t get a phone call anyway. One of the Lpns that works nights full time is quitting to move back West somewhere so don’t know when her last night will be . Don’t know if she is going to stay her full 2 weeks notice or not. Anyway if I wanted full time I could probably get it. Really not sure if I do or not.
Let me tell you something tho. The first night I worked I wore just my regular good tennis shoes, and my back and legs were killing me. Then on the second night I wore my thera shoes….and as soon as I get a good paycheck im going to go and buy me two or three pair of them from K mart before they decide to not sell them anymore. My goodness my back and legs and body didn’t hurt anything like they always have at the end of a shift. If I had had these years ago I probably would still be working full time. …you all can not imagine the difference in how they make me feel…they make me hold my body in a different way or something. Anyway I think I could do a full time nursing with these shoes on but don’t know if I want to do a full time job…maybe 4 days a week but would want it to be at least on two off two lol . What I need to do is find someone else that wants to work that way too . And then we can apply for the full time position. A friend of mine and I did that once and it worked great. The two of us made up our schedule all the time and it worked great.
Yesterday was beautiful , Joe took me to work on the trike . Was a pleasant ride into Forsyth. Our grandson that is living with us took the truck to school and then went to Springfield to do the exam that boys have to do to get into the service. He like to freeked them out …he made a 97 ….they told him that was so extremely great that when he was ready to go into the service that he could pick anything he wanted to be. Even a pilot…he is so excited about it. …He is going to get his 24 credits in and will be able to go in a couple of grades above normal too. This one recruiter told him that he has had college grads that didn’t make anywhere near that score…..amazing my genius grandson. Cute and smart too. Lol
SUSIE:::::: was your mother working to pay for your bills when she was the age your oldest son is? Is that fair? You know it isn’t. sometimes tough love does hurt but you arent doing him any service to not let him grow up. At the age he is you need to tell him sink or swim. No more handouts no more free anything. And mean it …and stick with it. It hurts I know I had to do that with my youngest. I told her NO MORE…do you want to be working till you are 80 ? Love you girl and I know you love him but it is time.
You deserve to have this time now for you. I will keep you in my prayers that you will get the strength to be able to do what needs to be done………How are you feeling since your plastic surgery …has the swelling gone down yet? Hope to see you Monday at the meeting.
JO::::: im calling the elect company today to talk to them about this bill …we purposely didn’t run the heater much this past month because last months bill was over 300.00 I want someone to come out and check to see what is going on. Maybe it is our heat pump …or something. But I cant pay this kind of bill.
Over and over for sure/
I have my whole house a light sage green it is such a calming color and goes with anything and everything. Im not a beige sort of person and never know what to do with it lol …
Yes I watch Biggest Loser. I love that show. I think the big guy isn’t much bigger than the brown team and he does all the work ….I just don’t think the guy in white has found his motivation yet for some reason. Lol on Jillian…sometimes I wish I had her at me for awhile and maybe I might get my butt in gear and exercise too. She is going to be having a new show where she moves in with a family I guess for a week and helps them change stuff….don’t know if I would want her in my house or not do you?
JEANIE RAE::::: The New Beginnings group at St. Johns is the second Monday of the month….at 5:30 class room 4B at 12298 E. Seminole . I have thought about going once in a while to their meetings to get some new motivation for myself too.
I told Joe and grandson….nothing on in a room unless you are in there this next month. And heat not to be above 65, put on jacket and gloves and what ever else you need to stay warm while in the house but we cant afford this anymore. Im not going to work all month to give the money to the elect company. Something has to give. Oh Joe took our infrared heater apart and cleaned it and it works again Yeah it was just dirty and wouldn’t work.
We are really looking into going solar somehow or the other …or something. We would like to have wood heat but don’t want the stove in the house with the mess and all. Looking into the outside wood furnace and can use the duct work we have now. Will find something that will work . Have to. Cant keep on like this .
An infrared propane heater ??? Never heard of that . May check into it. I still think gas is cheaper than elect …we use gas to heat the trailer on 100 gal bottles. And when we have had someone in there a bottle will work for over a month even in the hardest cold and that is a trailer that is a lot colder and harder to heat than our house is. I really think there is something wrong with our big heat pump tho.
OH that crochet needle I need is a size N??? am going to go get that today or tomorrow.
SUSAN:::: OH shoot I was hoping you could wear that. Bring it to the meeting Monday and I will see if Sugar can wear it…I bet she can and it will look great on her don’t you think?
I work next Tuesday and Wednesday. Unless I get a phone call to come in some other day.
BEC:::::: hey yeah Joe got our infrared heater working just fine …he took the back off and said it was just dusty and dirty. He cleaned it up and it works. Yippee. The sun is coming out im going to get my clothes and shoes on and go for a walk this morning. Then have to clean house and go to town for some things.

GOD BLESS YOU TODAY

Hi OH,
Jan, BigAl sent me a message and told me about Dr. E's New Beginnings support meetings. I think I am having a brain malfunction. I looked on the message board and there wasn't a meeting showing for this month, I think maybe the day of the meeting the calender blocks it out or something. Anyway my behavioral class is the 8th of Feb. so I plan on staying for the meeting also.
Yeah you need a size N crochet hook. I just rolled up the bags I had so I'll have everything with me on Monday.
OMG, the electric companys just really have us under their thumbs. I wish we could go back to wood, but with our COPD the fumes from the wood really cause us a lot of problems. I used to love the smell of a wood fire. We lived on a farm in Smithville Missouri for a couple of years and we used mostly wood to heat, with propane for a backup. I used to cook beans and chili and venison stew on our old warm morning. Had a smaller stove in the kitchen and used it a lot to cook on also. Was a lot of work but I was younger and really enjoyed it for awhile.
What kind of shoes are you getting at Kmart? I need to but something else to walk in the shoes I have right now are good shoes but have had them for awhile, I'd like to check out the ones you have.
Everybody have a good day, will see you all on Monday night. Tme for Breathing Treatment and Lunch. I'm actually hungry for the first time in a week. The grazing bug got me the first week of my Food Log. Talk to all later
I want a pair of Sketchers but they are $100. Maybe I should look at K-Mart of the shoes you're talking about.
Last night I went to the gym, but didn't workout as long I would have liked. The gym is at a Baptist Church and I think every Baptist in Raytown was there last night. Hard time finding a parking spot. Then, on the basketball court below the exercist equipment there were a bijillion kids doing something and screaming their blessed little heads off. I had my earphones on but couldn't hear very well so I gave up after 35 minutes. Way too noisy for me.
We looked at an infrared heater and found one for $297 and free shipping. I'm hoping to find one here that we can get right away. Surely some place in Kansas City sells them.
Today, I'm trying to do mostly protein all day. I really needed something to chew so I had some Jerky tender cuts......really good....and 9 grams of protein in 1 oz. I love the Inspire protein from Bariactric Eating. It mixes with a spoon in 4 oz. of liquid and tastes really good. I'm using unsweetened almond breeze this week. It's way lower in calories and carbs than milk. I also use Hood Countdown and it is also lower in carbs than milk. I just don't like shakes made with water. I've already had 82 grams of protein today.
Tonight is a hockey game so I will have some "me" time. Love that hockey!!
