Vent away that's what we're here for! Yea it's hard to tell if crowns fit till you actually eat something. I sure hope you can make your meeting next week those are important. Tho not more important than a flood! Goodness hope they figure what caused it and take care of any damages to your things. Just remember to stay calm and just cause people are family doesn't mean they are always right! Your mom and sis sound like people who just aren't gonna be happy no matter what so don't let them get you down. Just keep on smilin' and remember in the whole scheme of this this too shall pass! Hugs to ya, hang in there!!

Well, I went to the dentist, and he put a crown on, and it is not right. I did not notice my bite being off, till I tried to eat this afternoon. I have to call the dentist and see if he can adjust it.
I also got a cortisone shot in my hip, and the doc did not want to do two at a time, because of the mount of steroids at once. So, I have to go back in a couple of weeks and get that taken care of, because I wake up in agony every morning.
My bedroom had a slight flood today. The roof above my bedroom seems to be leaking and it came through my ceiling, above my windows. My curtains came down, and I had to put a bucket there because it was a steady flow during a downpour. I have fans on trying to dry my carpet. My landlord was out of town today, and his wife came up and looked at the situation. Since they need access to the attic through one of my closets, and I don't know when they are going to get someone to work on this problem, I rescheduled my therapy session, AGAIN. This session was supposed to be last Friday, then I rescheduled it to Monday, then I pushed it to tomorrow. Now it is a week from tomorrow.
I did see my psychiatrist yesterday, and we discussed my pain meds, and my overall behavior and attitude. He is pleased with where I am, given the pain situation, and the painkillers.
My relationship with my mother and sister is strained. Mom is of the opinion that I should have told my son I could not accept his Mothers Day gift, an afternoon with him at a Phillies game, two weeks ago, because I made a commitment with my sister. I have helped my sister for years with Special Olympics, and gave her three days in April, and she threw a fit, insulting me, and saying she could not count on me for help with Special Olympics. My sister lives 10 minutes away. My son lives 2-3 hours away, and travels extensively for business.
I guess I just needed to ramble today.
Hugs,
Trish

Seek always to do some good, somewhere. Every man has to seek in his own way to realize his true worth. You must give some time to your fellow man. For remember, you don't live in a world all your own. Your brothers are here too.

Sheesh what a yutz I am, forgot to post this yesterday! Must be that senior disease CRS, can't remember stuff! So how is hump day going for everyone? Another sunny day here makes me want to do something outside, until I remember my allergies! So I'll just park here and do some crocheting later. God bless to all! Karen

I know the feeling! There are sooo many things I'd like to do but I just hurt too bad to do them. My spinal stimulator has been on the fritz this week so my back has been hurting more but I think we got it working again. If these cortizone shots don't work ask about this stimulator, it works great, has sure saved my sanity!

I am in a funk because of this hip pain. I was supposed to see my therapist last night, but it is an hour and a half drive there, and I can't take sitting in the car that long. It is going to cost me $30 because I did not give my therapist 24 hour notice, which is fair. I hate being enslaved by this physical pain. My cortisone shot is set for Wednesday. I am also having dental work that day. Fun, fun.
Would appreciate prayer that the cortisone shot last longer than two weeks this time.
Hugs,
Trish

This is so true, I found that once I made the commitment to tithe I have always had my needs and most of my wants met by our gracious Lord.

The Grace of Giving
Today we live under a new covenant established by God through the shed blood of His Son Jesus (Heb. 9:15). Based on what Christ did, Romans 12:1 tells us to present ourselves “as a living and holy sacrifice, [which is] acceptable" to the Lord. If you are a child of God, all of your abilities, time, and money belong to Him.
The principle of sacrificial living can be seen in the early church. Those new believers eagerly sold their possessions and property to meet the needs around them (Acts 2:45). In response to their generosity, God blessed them with glad hearts, favor from the people, and increasing numbers.
Macedonian churches also understood the priority of giving. Even though the believers there were extremely poor, they begged for the opportunity to help financially. Scripture says they excelled at the “grace of giving" (v. 7 niv).
Under Old Testament law, God required a tithe (a tenth of one’s animals and crops) to support the temple (Lev. 27:30-32). When the nation drifted away from this practice, the Lord sent Malachi to warn them of the consequences for disobeying. By not giving their tithe, they were robbing God of what was rightfully His (Mal. 3:8). We certainly don’t want to be guilty of withholding the Lord’s money from Him.
Having appointed us to be His stewards and entrusted us with resources, God expects us to give generously. Jesus praised the impoverished widow in the temple for her sacrificial giving (Mark 12:41-44). When we trust the Lord with our finances as thewidow did, we’ll excel at the grace of giving.
Seek always to do some good, somewhere. Every man has to seek in his own way to realize his true worth. You must give some time to your fellow man. For remember, you don't live in a world all your own. Your brothers are here too.

When I was growing up, my parents and older sister smoked, and all my parents' friends smoked. It's a wonder I did not get asthma sooner then in my 40s. I never smoked, but empathize with the addiction part of it. My son is respectful while visiting here, and goes outside to smoke, even when he lived with me in my other apartment, he would go outside. I had a chair right outside my door for him.
Mom just thinks I should save the money, and I am entitled to stay with my son, because I am the Mom, and should not have to pay for a hotel. I used to try to stay with son, but it's just too inconvenient to breath smoky air, and impose on him and the girlfriend, when I can get an expensive hotel room for cheap on Priceline, and swim in the pool and use the exercise room. Son and girlfriend came to hotel and we went to dinner, and then we had a nice visit in my smokefree room. When they needed a fix of nicotine, they went down to the area outside the door, and came back up afterward.

Oh I hear ya, smoke just kills me, I quit 12 yrs ago and I wouldn't be in the shape I'm in now if I'd quit sooner. I have one neighbor that is so nice! He calls when he is gonna burn limbs and things so I can make sure my windows are closed. Wish everybody was that nice. It even grosses me out to walk by someone in the grocery store that is a smoker, they are stinky! I do understand the addiction but it's still a stinky habit.
