Wake Up Its Tuesday March 31st
Good morning to you, Carla and my other OFF siblings! Sure hope that today is good for everyone.
I went to the doctor yesterday and they took a throat culture. I don't think that it is strep but I am beginning to think it is sinus. It seems like last night it felt more like sinus drainage in the back of my throat than it has in the past few days. And now I am stuffy.....but she did say that I had sinus problems too. She started me on a antibiotic so that is a good thing.
It is cloudy here today but it seems like it is warmer. It is already around 48 so it might get into the 50's like they are saying it is going to. I like it when it gets warmer but better when the sun shines. Oh well.......I am NOT going to nit pick about the sun......it is getting warmer and that is the important thing!
Carol went and got the weekly ultrasound and the normal twice weekly NST. Kayden is now about 6 pounds 14 ounces. But they did say that he can be anywhere between 6-7 pounds. She goes to the doctor this morning and she is thinking that he might put her in the hospital and induce labor. He doesn't want the baby getting much bigger than he is now. He seems to be doing well and that is the important thing. So......I might be grandma within the next couple of days. I am not sure but will know more later on. I will keep you all posted on the tales of Kayden Lee..........oh my he is coming soon! I am so excited. Bill is too of course........he just doesn't show it as much as I do.
Saturday we went to a resale shop and it was half off day. I got a pretty dress for $2 and then Bill found a sweatshirt that says "World's Greatest Grandpa" on it and he said that he HAD to get that. Then he proceeded to tell the couple that was working the shop all about the birth of our first grandson.........but he isn't excited.....yeah right and I have 10 heads too!
I plan on going to the library this afternoon. I need some new books to read. I am getting more into reading lately than I have for a while. I am just sitting and reading and then reading some more. I use to read a book a day....bits here and there but now it takes me a couple of days to finish one. It is harder to see the printing now too than it was before. ha ha
I better get going. I am getting hungry and so breakfast is calling me. I hope that you all have a wonderful day and I am sending love and hugs to all along with the prayers that I say for everyone each day. Don't forget to smile and make someone else's life happy for a moment too.

It's not what you gather, but what you scatter
that tells what kind of life you have lived.
Aloha and good early morning Carla and OFF family,
Carla, I'm with you on the early bird express....been awake since 1:30. I have baby testing this morning at the hospital and have to leave by 5:15 and I just couldn't go back to sleep.
Speaking of baby testing, would you believe I had 13 babies on Sunday?? They were all born the day before! And, Brenda, when you talk about your little darling who is due very soon I think how nice and ready that baby is at over six pounds. I had a 4 lb. 15 oz. little boy on Sunday who was perfectly fine...just tiny tiny. He was sucking and passed the hearing test without my having to work for it. I'm always amazed at the tiny babies who seem in better shape than a 9 pounder!
Right now I'm ready to head out. I'm in my dark bedroom and my two kitties, Poki and Nicki, are sprawled on my unmade bed, loving having the whole thing to themselves. I'm so worried about them and the temporary move we are going to have to make in Sept. when they tent our whole building for termites. Cats do not like change......and even when I bring something new into the house, they have to thoroughly check it out. What are they going to do in a whole new home for a week? I'm trying not to worry so far ahead......seems a waste of good energy, but I can't seem to help it.
Judy......you will make it to Hawaii one day!! Waikiki IS a most excellent place to visit, and then you come to the outer islands for a slow down. Waikiki is party central and much faster paced than the outer islands. We used to love to come over for a week in Waikiki and then spend the rest of the time on Maui to decompress completely....Ha! Now, after living here for almost 8 years, I think I've decompressed into a flat tire!
Welcome to the newcomers....so many of you! It makes me happy to see the new "faces" and brings back memories of back when I was very heavy and had this whole adventure ahead of me. I feel (and look) like a totally different person now at almost 3 years later. Our newcomers have such a wonderful adventure ahead of them.
So, off to meet and greet Maui's newest little munchkins.
Aloha nui loa,
Maui Karen

Hi Carla and my OFF family:
It's cloudy and we're supposed to get rain by the end of the day. Today is my Aunt Bernice's 91st birthday. Happy Birthday, Aunt Bernice! Can you believe, living that long? A few months ago, they thought she was going to go, but the docs removed a mass from her colon, and she's recovered and still ticking. Thirty years ago, she had ovarian cancer, a tumor the size of a grapefruit ... you don't recover from that. But she did ... she's a tough old lady.
I talked with Margie yesterday about my job situation and she, as always, gave me some good advice that I'm going to follow up on. She said I should check with the bankruptcy attorney to see when my bankruptcy is up ... if it's up this year sometime, I might want to tough it out and not restructure, even if it will be difficult for a few months. So I have to call them today. I was going to call this morning but my tummy has been bothering me, so I'm waiting until I don't have to run to the bathroom every few minutes. It's settled down now.
Today is my "Monday" now, my first day of work now that I work Tuesday through Saturday ... hard to think of it that way.
Ah well, I guess I should get going and do something. I have been sitting at the computer long enough this morning. Have a good day.

Hello everyone
It's a rainy day here. I have plants that I purchased last evening to plant so I am hoping the rain stops.
I spent yesterday picking up medical records and taking them to the hemotologist, She needed the to review the records before I could get and appointment. I am hoping to get a call today with an appointment day and time. Until then I just have to wait. Don't know what or even if i have much of a problem. The only thing I could read and understand from my CT scan was to repeat it in 2-4 weeks to see if the lessions on my spleen change. I just know that I do not intend to have anything interfer with my vaction in a couple of weeks. Soooo I need to get into Dr. Baker's office soon.
Hope you all have a great day.
I caught Tom's crud and feel horrible. Temp is up, shivery, aching and all I want to do is sleep.
One of the support group members pulled me aside and advised me to get a good bra. She's a sweety and not at all offensive. She asked what style and size I was wearing. So we chatted about good bras. I have not bought new bras in ages, too cheap. I measured and got a bit of a shock. I've been wearing a size 38 but I measure for a 32 - no wonder there is no uplift. It is time to find a good bra and a better fit.
Back to bed.

Oh that made me laugh ... infants! Wish I could say that about mine. Mine are more deflated balloons. Still need a 38 but now it's a DD because there's so much tissue there they don't fit in anything else.
Yes, the subjects get personal, but hey, we're all ... well, mostly all, with the exception of Floyd and George ... women.
