What's New Friday?

Margo:

Glad you are going to the doctor. I have been worried about you. I know it's expensive, but it's important to think about your health. I'm sure they will work out a payment plan. Plasma donation can be very hard on your body over time (although I know the money is good).

Take care of yourself. I would love to talk with you over the weekend. If I call, will you answer?

Margo,
GOOD! It is time you got checked. Please let us know how you are doing. We worry so much.
Kisses
Annette 

Good Morning Cindy and Friends,

Cindy, Mike has been in Lincoln City this week with 3 friends. I'm jealous, but I've had a good week here also. Fred Meyer had tons of things 70% off yesterday. . . baby outfits, towels and rug for bathroom, going broke saving money! And then there's Craigs list! This morning I'm going to look at a hand made solid oak craftsman style queen bed. . It looks beautiful in the picture. Asked the lady how she could sell it as her husband made it. She replied that he's 6'5" and they finally have a room large enough for a king size bed. That I understand. I'll give it a loving home if it's what I want. I keep things a LONG time if I love them and this has that potential. Oak, solid wood, and made with love.

Mike will be home later today and my brother arrives tomorrow around noon. We'll be going through some of Mom's pictures so I'm thinking chicken and dumplings simmering on  the stove and a nice salad. They are bring strawberries they needed to use so I'll make an angel food cake to go with them.

Went to see "New in Town." Definitely a chick flick but it was cute. Just a diversion but sometimes I need just that.

You name it we had it yesterday: sunshine, hail, rain, wind, snow flurries. . .  Have to get a shower, breakfast, and get Maggie to the groomer for a spring trim. You all have a great Friday.

 

Karen, I saw that Mike is in Lincoln City.  Hope h e's had a good time.  Last night we were under a frost warning.  The heat was on a lot.

The bed  you found on Craigs List sounds really nice.  Hope it meets your expectations.

Take care.

Cindy P.

You folks dealing with that nasty snow & stuff will probably want to hit me but its been
near 80 out here in AZ this week. Suppose to cook back off today!! That's a good thing to early for it to be this warm, yet. Don't have many plans for my Friday, but will
include walking at some point today.

hello...thought i would post today on what i am up to...had my blood test a week or so ago and i got the results on it. my folic was low 210 should be in the 257-800 range...have to increase my med to 1 mg a day, my vitamin d also low...26.8 should be in the 31-80 range...have to increase my vit d to 2000 iu a day. everything else was fine. they forgot to check my vit a tho so will have that checked in 2 1/2 months when i am rechecked on vit d and folic.

working alot lately and am tired. had a sanitation training and test which i can say i passed 100% woohoo!!!

ricks boss told him and the others that they might be getting laid off soon due to lack of work. hopefully things will pick up soon and he won't be laid off!! he is scared to death he will be and swears we will NOT go back to live at his moms!!! i hope he is right!!!

talked to my sister yesterday and she told me she had her yorkie put to sleep monday. i know it was hard for her to do that but sammie is better off and not in pain any more. she is looking for another dog but not sure what she wants. she also told me that gary has been approved for medicaid so he will be able to stay in the nursing home for the rest of his life. he had an MRI and that came out good and he will not need any more surgeries. he is still incontenent but not pooping his pants anymore so that is a good thing. he has a private room and is happy with that. i am happy for him. i hope he does get better so he doesn't have to wear depends anymore.

congrats to those that had their WLS and to those that have been approved!! sorry i can't read all of the posts because this old pc is so slow and freezes up most of the time. i hate it!!!

Hi Cindy & OFFr's,

Thanks for your's as well as everyone elses kind remarks about my boy, I am happy to say that he has had 3 good days in a row and I hope there will be more before he leaves my side.

Well it's Friday and I'm here at work, nothing too much happening here and when the day is done I will go home, take Mr. Dil for a walk, then go to an AA meeting, as I have not been able to go to one in over a week now.

Tomorrow my son returns home and while I will spend a portion of my day at home with Mr. Dil, I will take the ride with my DIL and the kids to welcome him home, then dinner at a friend who is celebrating her 14th sober anniversary, then the meeting itself, which will get me out of the house for about 5 hours.  Sunday will be a day spent at home relaxing.

I hope that everyone has a good day and I am sending out warm wishes and positive thoughts, as well as prayers for those in need.

Hugs, Laureen

Hi Cindy and my OFF family:

I'm bringing up the rear as always. I was going to get up a little earlier and head out to this grocery store on the other side of town, Fresh Market, which is closing on Sunday. They have the best fresh ground almond butter. Guess I'll have to find another source for fresh ground almond butter (there is no place near me). yes, I can get some in jars, but it's not the same. And boy, did it make good almond cookies from the recipe from my friend Bruce (almond flour, almond butter, honey, some extracts, spices, etc. ... all very healthy stuff ... really yummy cookies!) And anyway, I didn't really have enough money to go there, I discovered. So I guess it's all for the best.

I slept til 11 a.m. I really need to sleep late. I was cuddled up with Scooter and Nettie was next to him, and they were both purring away when I woke up. Such a nice feeling!

It was pouring when I drove home last night, then there was fog ... at times it was hard to see the road. There were big puddles on the highway that made it hard to steer through. Had to really hang on to the steering wheel.

My brother Gary has bought a new car, a Ford Fusion. He had a PT Cruiser, but it was getting a lot of mileage on it and it was going to need a lot of expensive work. I had a Ford Escort several years back and it had so many problems, I would never buy another Ford, even if Alan Mulally drove the car into my driveway and handed me the keys and gave it to me, free. Ford to me means Found on the Road Dead or Fix Or Repair Daily. But ... Gary says Ford has changed ... well, I hope so for his sake. They gave me no satisfaction for all the problems I had with that lemon. He picks up his new car today.

No big plans for the weekend. There's spring training baseball games on the MLB Network channel, so I'll be watching baseball ... I'm in my element! I love baseball. I plan to make some spaghetti sauce and watch baseball all weekend. And read, do laundry, clean up a little bit, exercise, etc. The usual things. No money to do much, so I just putz around the house. I'm usually pooped by Friday night so I don't want to go anywhere on the weekends. It's nice to spend time at home and relax.

Well, I have a date with my exercise bike. Have a good day.

Just a quick hello, as it is time for me to leave work, I am so glad it is Friday I am really burned out trying to teach this new nurse things when she wants to change everything. But I like her, it is just me. I don't take change easily She has very good ideas and in a 6 months we will be working smoothy I am sure. I heard whisperings that one of our old timers will be leaving next week. Nuts! No big plans for the weekend, was going to go to a wickless candle party with my daughter this evening. I do NOT like the part circuit, the items are always so over priced but I was intreigued with the sounds of this, But sounds like we are going to get a lot of snow this evening so I will stay home with my cross stitch and a pile of movies yet to watch. Angel food with my Mom in the morning and church on Sunday. It is nice not to have big plans.. the next 3 weekends are full so I will enjoy this, Blessings

Hi Cindy,
I am surely picking up the rear today. I was busy all day. I had an oncologist appnt at 1pm then my PCP at 315pm. I got my labs back for taking to my surgeon in Denver. My glucose is 105 and I have to be on a diabetic diet for now to bring it down. My A1-c is 5.8 so she doesnt think I am getting diabetis again but we have to watch it.
I was busy with obdysy of the mind most of the rest of the day. I had to help sew costumes and critique the play the kids are dong. Oh where is my theatre daughter when I need her!!!!!!!
Tomorow I play judge all day and will be gone all day about 50 miles from home.
So I am going to bed early.
Carla
