Good Morning Train!

WOOOOHOOOO for Fridays!  It's been a long time since I've had to hunt for that Pink button, but I think I pushed the right one, so everyone hang on tight!  I'm playing lazy and working from home again today, so not much going on in my neck of the woods this morning! 

Prayers are going up for all that need them!

Things seem to be mellowing out towards the weekend so here's the Beatles' Blackbird, to sooth the soul....


Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to arise.

Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these sunken eyes and learn to see
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to be free.

Blackbird fly Blackbird fly
Into the light of the dark black night.

Blackbird fly Blackbird fly
Into the light of the dark black night.

Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to arise
You were only waiting for this moment to arise
You were only waiting for this moment to arise.

Ya'll have a great day my friends!

Wow, it's finally Friday.  I feel like I could sleep all day!!  I love to stay home during the rain and just read and nap.  Too bad I have to go to work.

I'm a little groggy this morning.  Not much going on so I'll just say hello and goodbye!  Y'all have a great day!  Love ya!

Good morning! I've been up but doing dishes and trying to clean up a bit. I fell asleep after work and PT, around 5:30pm, woke at 7, went back to sleep at 8:15 and slept through the night. Hopefully my one-100 pound head now about 1/2 that- will feel even lighter as the day goes on! The steriods have helped alot.

I had a blast at Country Day with the kids. I had them spread peanut butter on crackers and walk with a mobility cane around the area, all under blindfold. They liked that. I had some other activities going using the vision goggles to simulate other eye conditions like diabetic retinopathy and cataracts, etc. It was alot of fun. I was on my feet way too much though and paid a price of alot of pain all evening, esp during PT. But the lady was nice and only made me do 1/2 the exercises and then she massaged it and work it all out.

Meggie- how are you feeling? I saw Ken say on FB you were giving your own updates now.
Gina-how's the 100 pound head of yours?
Michelle- you feeling okay? What's Eric up to today-too much energy? How is Mark feeling?

I've got to run. Hope everyone has a great day today!

Good Morning Karen and the rest of my TMB Family,

How nice to was to log on and see the pink button pushed and Karen in the controlls.  Glad it is Friday and glad it is Pay Day.  Will be heading to the Commisary as soon as it opens so I can get my grocery shopping done with.  Also need to go and get my Lunesta filled.  The base does not have it, and Walmart was back ordered so need to find someplace else to fill it.  Eric has a 1/2 day today then is off on Monday and Tuesday.  You would think with all the snow days they have had they would cancell the Tuesday day off.  That is a state thing.  He is excited though as he is getting to do a sleepover on Monday with his new friend.  My poor hubby is still feeling really yucky.  It's one of those coughs that you can tell it hurts his chest when he does it.  He was going to Sick call this morning, but even if they tell him to come home he wont.  In fact he told me he would probably work late tonight.  Thats my husband cant stand his job but is commited to doing his best no matter what.  I am going to a jewlery party tomorrow I think.  One of the neighbor ladies invited me and I really should get out and meet some people.  I am slowly becoming a recluse and cant allow that to happen.  Got to love computers.  I spent an hour yesterday instant messaging with a friend from my church in Texas and it was just what I needed to give me that boost.  Ok guess I have gone on enough.  Prayers for those that are in need today.  Especially Meggi, Ken, Jenny and Eric.  Have a blessed day.  Love you guys,

Good morning.  I am so glad it's Friday.  It's been a long, hard week.  I have paperwork to do today at work.  Being a 3 day weekend makes the break even better!  If I have the energy to do it, I may go watch my niece cheer at the boys basketball game tonight.

Prayers for all who need them.

Have a great Friday!

Karla

Looks like DS1 is moving back home in order to save some money.  He has decided that he wants to focus on school and is looking at going away in the fall so he wants to be debt free by then.  He's selling his truck today and we'll be hauling him to school and work for the next 9 months.  Not going to be easy, but I'm proud of him for making the commitment and getting his priorities in order.

Taking DD to Six Flags today for an interview.  She did the online application and this is the next step.  She wants to work starting spring break so that she can get her DL and start driving.  Yipee...not!  I'll be glad to have another driver in the house with her crazy schedule, but that darn insurance is a killer.

So thats my life for this week.  Now I'm off to catch up on some other reading and posts before work.

Make is a grat day!  HUGS
