What's New Revue for Monday 10/5

morning george and my OFF family!!!!

well its a gloomy chilly day so far today...will be working 1-5 and not able to see much of the yucky weather outside...lol

finally got to watch marley and me...omg at the end all i could see was spike laying there getting the shot to end his suffering from the neighbors dog attacking him....2 1/2 years later it still hurts....

got my beets canned yesterday and hopefully they come out good!!! mom gave me her recipe but failed to include "how to do it" i swear she doesn't want me or anyone to have the recipe!!! had discolored hands all day and finally got most of the color off me...what a mess!!! LOL

made the baby back ribs for supper last night and rick invited his mom over to eat...ok no problem...she loved them...THEN she asks if she could take a plate to jerry!!!!! mind you rick hates his step dad with a passion and this man keeps quitting his job or gets fired and then refuses to get another job!!! he has been off all summer and has just started another job...they are again further in debt!!! but we did fix a plate for him and no we heard nothing of a thankyou for that!! sighs....

got more flowers made for my colorful afghan and am running out of copr combinations that go well together...lol it IS going to be a pretty one if i do say so myself!!! my hands are getting sore with making those flowers but i still keep doing them...my butt is also sore from sitting so long....you should see me trying to get up and then trying to walk!!! omg i look like i am about 90 years old!!!! LOL

weighed myself this morning and WOOHOOOO!!!! i am DOWN a few pounds!!!! :-) that makes me happy!!!!! now if i could just remember to take the dam vitamins everyday like i should!!!!! makes me so mad when i forget to take them!!!! they are sitting right next to my bed on the dresser where i put my glasses so how in the heck do i forget to take them????? GRRRRR

my brother is having his dr appointment today in ann arbor...hope he gets a good report!!! talked to him for a few minutes yesterday and he was crabby so i didn't talk long....sighs

well best get my shower in and ready for work and make more flowers...margo prayers and thoughts for michael and you...everyone else know i AM thinking of you all!!! have a great day and remember "SMILE" makes them wonder what you've been up to!!! LOL

Judy, try putting your vitamins near your toothbrush/toothpaste. I never leave the bedroom in the morning, or go to be without brushing my teeth, so they're right there looking at me. I haven't forgotten one dose in over a year!

i will try that...but mr clean will probably move them because he does not like clutter....thats why i can't find my reading glasses...he put them away out of sight and not sure where they ended up....that is our ONE big fight...him moving MY things!!! grrrr

Well, if he wants you to be healthy he'll let you keep them where you can remember to take them.

susan we have been all over that one!! back when we lived at his moms in the basement i had my pills in a bag hanging on the chair out of the way...he moved them to the back chair behind the table out of sight...out of mind....grrrr he will never learn i guess no matter how much i yell at him....but i WILL try the bathroom one you mentioned!!!

hugs

Good luck, my dear!

Eileen taught me to take my iron in the middle of the night when I get up to go to the bathroom, maybe if you got yourself a chewable you could take it  in the middle of the night, then you would forget.....all my other pills, I take before I go to bed. Good luck, Marti

I put mine in the table by my recliner (but then nobody moves anything in my house ... only me and the cats). I take most of my pills/vitamins first thing in the morning, iron in the afternoon, calcium at night before I go to bed. I'd rather swallow than do a chewable ... I have a problem with vitamins/iron getting stuck in my teeth and having to retaste them ... yuck!

Tell Rick to leave them where you can find them so you can be healthy. A bathroom is a good place, or a nightstand.

Hey Judy, you're going to have to take a picture of your flowers and post it so we can all see how pretty they are.....

Thanks for the orange marmalade......it is yummy.  Came in todays mail.
You didn't have to do that, but I'm happy you did!!!

Hugs,
Pat R.

Good morning.  It is a gloomy day here in NC.  Temps only in the low 70s today.  Weather report has them back up mid week to low 80s.  Nice.  The nights are cool enough so that the airconditioner is off.  It is so sad to see the summer go.  Yesterday was probably one of the last beach days.  We didn't swim but spent the day watching the seagulls and pelicans.  I love the beach and hate that it is about over for another year.  
We did some yard work on Saturday and I was so happy to find out that after 5 hrs of work my back did not ache.  I got hot and thirsty and went in for a drink half way thru the day.  I don't think I have worked that much in the yard the past 5 yrs put together.   We still have some more work to be done but I don't dread it now that I know it no longer hurts to do it.  How wonderful is that? 
Our youngest came home from college for a weekend visit.  It was good to see him.  I do miss him but having the nest empty is not so bad.  DH and I are like newly weds again.  fun.  
Well, I need to get back to work so that I don't get canned.  Have a good day.
