Terrific Tuesday WLS Express!

Good morning everyone! It's going to be an interesting day.  I ran out of meds Sunday and was expecing my new scrip in the mail yesterday, but it didn't come.  If it's not here today, I'm going to go see if I can get some to tide me over.  I'm not sure about this mail order meds thing.  I'm all for bringing more mail into the system, but I know this plant and I'm not sure I trust it!  And I gotta have my meds, they keep me from screaming and throwing things!  I like me on meds!! LOL!!

Did I tell you that I got things straightened out with the Texas Comptroller?  I don't owe the taxes.  They changed my status to "filed in error" or something like that.  So the tax id number is no longer in effect from 1999 (!) and I don't owe taxes.  Halleluuuuuya!!  That was $1500 that I didn't have to pay for something I didn't do!  Crazy!! LOL!!

Well, guess I'd better get to the shower.  It was chilly yesterday.  The settings on the water heater were off and the water was cold!  We worked on it yesterday and hopefully it will be better today! 

Y'all have a great day!  Love ya!

Good morning.  I have ARD meetings today at the high school, then a haircut after school and will come home and crash.

Prayers for all who need them.

Make your food plan and then join us on Jumpstart January for accountability.

Prayers for all who need them.

Have a great Tuesday!

DD has finals this week, DH is giving them to his classes.  So half my household is stressed this week. 

Saw DS1 last night.  He's so lost.  Told him this is normal for 20 year old.  He's in debt and has no focus.  I told him to move home.  Miracle of miracles, he's considering it and is coming over Wed night to have dinner and talk about it some more.

Work is crazy busy this week with all of the winter weather around the country the last few weeks, lots of flight delays, cancelations and lost bags.  While I feel bad for those folks, gotta love mother nature ju,ping in to provide a little job security.  :) 

Have a great day.  HUGS

Good morning friends! Well, some good news on the job front. I talked with my manager and told her I didn't think I could do 5 days a week. I know it sounds contradictory because I can use the money but when you're burning the light on both ends, you don't want to burn out fast. So I told her I could do a max of four, she was receptive to that, and I also asked to keep them in sets of two which she thinks she can accomodate. YAY! Three days in a row just turn me into a zombie.  I mean come on - I haven't seen my kid since Sunday because I've been too busy sleeping cause I have to work - hopefully I'll get to see her tomorrow morning. That's not fair to her, but for me too. I miss her. Being a mom is probably the only distraction from this crazy life I'm in right now that comforts me. So we'll see what next week brings. But at least it won't be 5 days. That's just too much right now.

I have a feeling today is going to go well. Maybe it's wishful thinking but Eric has his BLEO today (short 15 min round of chemo) and they plan to give him more fluids to keep him stocked up. I sure hope it's a better day. Eric can use a better day. I won't bother to go into details here because I updated my other thread last night but I think we'll start making progress from here on out. Battling this disease is as much a mental thing as it is a physical thing. It's only started getting hard because he's stage III. He's got a long road ahead of him to get into remission and can't give up now. Three cheers for better days!!!

Huge hugs for everyone who needs them. Stay strong my friends. And don't forget to smile - even if it's only to **** somebody off.

Good morning Train Riders!  Thanks for the prayers, Jeff survived the procedures yesterday.  I think once he got past the prep the night before he resigned himself to it.  He's got a small hiatal hernia, esophogitis and gastritis, but all of that will be dealt with by doubling up his acid meds.  Doc doesn't believe fixing the hernia will help, so we'll leave it as is.  They are testing for hyplori and looking at a couple of biopsies but other than that the upper GI tract is good.  Colon is good as well, he found one true polyp that he took a biopsy of and thinks is probably pre-cancerous but he's not concerned.  His normal routine is to do follow up on that 3-5 years later.  So Jeff's off the hook for a while.  He did say he's probably got IBS so I've got to do some research on how to treat or manage that nutritionally.

Today will be another busy one at work, I've got some reports I have to crunch numbers for and get out asap.  Not much planned for tonight, other than getting ready for support group tomorrow.  We're going to talk about Exercise Essentials, so I need to get some stuff together for that.  Off to earn my keep.

Hope everyone has a fantastic day!

okay, second day to post.  Where are all the old timers??

This week has been okay so far.  I can honestly say that I am surprising myself with getting home and NOT just crawling in bed and hiding.  I am keeping all of the clothes washed, dried, folded and put away.  The dishes are all kept up with.  Things are picked up and I actually WANT it that way.  Attitude adjustment, maybe? I dont' know I will just take it.

Considering the runaway Maddie, the light bulb burnout and the box of bulbs breaking, the breakfast burning in the middle of it, and then realizing in it all that Maddie was totally out of water.. I am still not over stressed. I guess I can do HARD things.

Not much else going on. Emm is on a roll with the drama, but the 'timing' is about right.  She is working to keep up with her stuff as well, so we are indeed making progress.

Sending prayers for all hurting in body, mind and spirit.
