What's New Wednesday?
morning! did NOT want to get up this morning....snuggled all in my covers..chilly here but it feels good!
there seemed to be some confusion in my post yesterday about the job interview--it wasn't yesterday-it will be tomorrow-thursday....and i plan to go in with personality and hope that helps!!! the extra hours (it's 40 /) would be great and the benefits--whoo hoooo but it isn't really a job that i feel i can sink my teeth into ...if offered; it would be a better job so i wouldn't turn it down! i'm not totally stupid!!! .. i also am waiting to hear from the gal where i applied last week- that job would be a better "career" for me in planning a future and so i would really hope to have more positives about that one! i see growth potential as well as longevity there....she is taking apps all week and setting up interviews for next week...and yes, diane, i told her i was going out of town !!
michael took a tumble last nite when he put roxie out..he's been wobbly by the end of the day last few days.....he is pushing himself so hard to get stuff done around here -now i need to kick it in high gear to get boxes unpacked and repacked and sorted and and pitched or piled neatly...we have taken down all of the curtains (except the liv room valance i need to do today) that are not staying with the house-and we have a massive towel bar in his bathroom and a shelf thing in mine that have to come down and i think that the house looks bare except for furniture and boxes- i hate it!! every realtor we speak with or anything we read or see on tv says to take it bare and depersonalize it...he cannot understand that ...it just doesn't look or feel like home anymore..i hate it!!!! i don't enjoy coming home to it anymore...i think i am grieving our house......and that makes me want out even more.....i feel like we are being held hostage!!!! does that make sense?????
today i am working my 4 hours and then going to a gf's to clean her house----i really never thought that i would be the cleaning fairy!!!
i have decided that the headache is partially caused by all of the paint and stain fumes around here! i still have the sore neck and i know that is stress related...i need a chiro adjustment and can't do it!
can you believe that it is october today??????????????????
frankenmuth is a lil over a week away and about 3 more weeks til i get to hug jeanb!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
hugs and prayers to all.......

I get up every morning determined to both change the world and have one hell of a good time. Sometimes this makes planning my day difficult.

I am keeping you both in prayers, Margo. I know that things right now are very stressful. Just remember to breathe and work on destressing. I know too that is easier said than done.
It is hard to move from somewhere that you love. You had to have loved your home or you wouldn't have bought it in the first place. Now it has fulfilled it's purpose and your next home will fill the spot that it is suppose to do at this time. It is hard to see your home take the transformation into someone else's home, but you will get through this. It is normal to grieve selling your home since it a loss you are experiencing. Just know that once you move out of the grieving you are going to able to build a new life with Michael and your new home. Just stay focused.
I love you dear Margo. Just remember in Frankenmuth to make sure you feel the big hug that I am suppose to be giving to you.

It's not what you gather, but what you scatter
that tells what kind of life you have lived.
Margo,
I am hoping that the right job comes your way, the one that will give you a sense of purpose and the benefits and money to live on so that you don't have to worry about your finances anymore. Also hope that Michael is ok and as Brenda said, you will have a new home that will be home soon!
Hugs, Laureen
P.S. I miss you and so wish I could attend Frankenmuth, oh well, hopefully we'll manage to get together soon.

My Mantra is that I do not determine my success by the number hanging in my closet, nor will I let the scale determine that success either. . . It is through trial and error I will continue to grow and succeed. . . Laureen

Hope one of those jobs works for you, Margo. A chiro adjustment might help the headaches (usually works for me). Try putting a heating pad on the back of your neck (sometimes helps me). Vicks on the forehead and sinuses sometimes helps too. The weather we're having doesn't help ... lots of rain usually triggers my headaches (although I haven't had one, today I have knee pain).
Thanks for starting the day Eileen,
I like to wake up and see what's happening to my OFF family.
Yesterday was long with the pre-op appointments and testing. The first two hours were spent with the charming PA reviewing my chart. His personality tickles me no end. He walked in and gave me a huge smile, said "you are a shadow of your former self". With that, he pulled out the photo from my very first visit. There I was, my size 28's pulling at the seams, thinking my outfit hid my body. What a reality check.
There is a concern about which antibiotic to administer for this surgery. The allergy list is long. In the near future he wants me to contact my PCP and see an allergist to figure out exactly which, if any, antibiotics will work.
Then off to the hospital for paperwork and testing. For the EKG I had to get down to my undies and remove my panyhose. The technician was delighted to see me in my RED bra and bikini undies.
Just because I am 61 yo, doesn't mean the undies have to be boring white.
The tests took so long that I ran out of my supply of water. Not only did they give me a cold bottle of water, she gave me a voucher to go get lunch in the cafeteria. That was nice.
As I went in for the X-rays, she saw I was shivering - always cold these days - I was handed a thick, WARMED, robe to wear. Ahhh, so good.
Finally finished with testing, I went to fill the Rx for pain med to take after surgery. Heavy duty drug to send me to La la Land.
The next two days will zoom by and I'll be in the capable hands of my surgeon. I wasn't this nervous waiting for RNY - deep breath and relax!
Kisses
Annette

Annette, I am so glad that they are taking such special care of our special sister. Soon this is going to be just another dream and you will be on to bigger and better things.
Just make sure you take care of yourself for these last few days. Baby yourself and do for Annette for a while. You are so use to doing things for others that sometimes I am afraid that you forget you sometimes. This is all about you and you need to remember that. Sometimes I just flat out tell others that it isn't about them it is about me! Sometimes people just need to be reminded and I am just the person to remind them of that. ha ha
I am keeping you as always in prayers. I love you and know that God is going to take special care of you. I pray that He keeps you in the circle of His loving and healing arms and gives to you peace, understanding and healing. I pray also for all of your doctors and nurses.
I just have to tell you that I loved the remark that you made the other day about your new "screen door". That is a great way to think about it. You are making a positive out of it and keeping your sense of humor. That is going to get you better in no time at all. And we are just going to have your screen door to love too. Just added Annette if you ask me!
