What's new Sunday????
Good Morning, All
Karen, welcome home. I can't wait till you share more of Italy with us.
I made a crock pot full of stew yesterday, which actually became TWO crockpots of stew once I added all the veggies. When will I ever learn to cook in smaller quantities? Today some baking, to freeze for Thanksgiving and to take to work. Hopefully will be able to stay out of the goodies while I'm home.
Today before work I have to help my niece bury her little dog who was struck by a car last night. He ran right out into the road in front of a police car. The neighbor woman was wonderful, but she wanted family, so I went over, and we made plans to bury him in my back yard today. I have a little land, and there's an area that I don't cultivate, so it won't be disturbed. I'm not looking forward to it. She's so upset. But then, I would be too, if it was one of my babies. I've never lost a pet before. Tucker was just under a year old, still a puppy, and full of energy. So sad.
I'm so sorry to hear about George's Flyte, also. We have to love them while we can. You never know what the next day will bring.
So, it's looking like a long day.
I'll catch up when I get home from work.

Hi Karen and my OFF family:
Yikes, a long flight. I don't know if I could handle that anymore. Can't sit that long without too much pain. But it sounds like a wonderful trip. My nephew and his wife have been to Italy a couple of times, once for their honeymoon, and loved it. They have been to Greece now a couple of times too, and loved it there also, and are going back next year (unless she gets pregnant ... she's trying ... had a miscarriage this year ... but we're hopeful!). I'd love to go overseas some time. I really want to go to Germany and try to find relatives, but that cost money I don't have ... maybe in two-three years or so. I love art and history and archaelogy.
I had a rough day yesterday ... lots of time in the bathroom. No fever, just chills and diarrhea. I think it was something I ate Thursday that continue to bother me, because today I feel OK so far. I had a chicken salad sandwich from Panera Bread, and after that, I was feeling kinda sick ... gassy and bloated ... and Friday, I didn't feel all that well, but didn't have diarrhea, just kind of an IBS attack, all day long. Or so I thought, until yesterday. I laid low yesterday, didn't eat much, just saltines (whole wheat, of course), a little soup, applesauce ... and all of that didn't agree with me, either ... peppermint tea, a lot of water. Went to bed early, didn't sleep well, and woke up with my back and hips bothering me. Luckily, tomorrow I go for my back injection at the pain doc. When I talked with Mary Kay, who will be my driver, she said she thought maybe I shouldn't go because of my illness Saturday, but I don't think it was viral ... it went too quickly and there was no fever. She said they don't want you to have the shot if you're sick or were sick within 48 hours because of weakened immune systems ... but I think that mostly applies to folks like her who have heart conditions and diabetes ... and I don't have either, I'm fairly healthy. My main problems are arthritis. So I think I'm OK to keep my appointment.
So far today, I've had some eggs and toast, and everything is staying down. Yesterday, as soon as I'd eat antyhing, a half hour later, I'd be in the bathroom. So I'm hopeful everything's OK. I'm going to keep it simple today, though. I'm thinking a tuna casserole will be good ... whole wheat noodles, lots of cheese ... good binding material if there is still something in my system. Funny story: The day after my oldest brother got married the first time (I was a sophomore in high school), everyone came down with diarrhea ... we figure it must have been food poisoning from the reception, because too many people were sick. Other than my dad, with the iron stomach. Even my brother and his bride (who didn't go on a honeymoon, because my brother was still in college at the time). Anyway, my dad fixed this ham and cheese casserole ... it had lots of cheese in it ... he called it his binding casserole to cure us all of the trots. We were all better by Monday.
Not much planned for today ... laundry, litter boxes, football, baseball, reading. I did absolutely nothing yesterday; I scooped litter boxes, ran the dishwasher and ran into the bathroom all day. I was pretty useless. I did talk to Paulette (she used to post here a lot, but doesn't anymore); her mother-in-law is close to dying. She has Alzheimer's and isn't doing very well, so if you could keep her and her family in your thoughts/prayers, whatever you do, that would be nice.
Well, that's all for now. Have a nice day.

Aloha my jet-setting friend!! You are such a seasoned traveler....and I feel like I get to live vicariously through your adventures. I don't think I could do the airplane miles that you did. I get impatient going from Maui to San Francisco! I'm glad you are home safely and sounding so positive........great news to start my Sunday!!
Lately I have been busy, busy.....more so than I'd actually like. One of our newborn baby screeners has suddenly quit, and the other three of us are filling in her days at the hospital. I did Thurs. and will test babies tomorrow and Tues. a.m. After that I think we'll all have a day or two more on our schedules. I appreciate the extra money, but not crazy about getting up at 4:00 to be there by 5:30 a.m.
I am feeling oh so much better these days and am grateful.
Here's wishing all of you struggling with life the best possible solutions, and thank you all for helping me through my rough time.
Aloha nui loa,
Maui Karen

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.

Good evening to you, Karen and my OFF family.
I am glad that you are back safe and sound to us, Karen. I bet that trip was fantastic in every way. My BFF daughter and her husband went to Italy on their honeymoon. They had a great time.
Nothing much going on here. We got up and went to church and then came home. I was tired and fell asleep while on the computer catching up on OFF and kept falling asleep in the chair. I finally woke up and told Bill that I had to take a nap. Boy I slept like I was dead. It felt good.
We had a breakfast fund raiser at church yesterday and Bill and I did the tickets. It was so cold to me...but then again what is new there? Bill is really getting into going to church with me now and I am glad about that. I have always wanted him to go with me and he would always say that he didn't want to. Now he seems to be turning to it...I do know that he loves our new Pastor.
Kayden is coming in the morning and off we go to unemployment to file for last week. Then Bill is going to go and see some other places. It is hard to believe that it has been 3 weeks since he lost his job. Even with that happening time is going by so fast. I thought that time would drag....but it might when I go to prison for killing my husband! Time with him is getting old now. I remember a time when the week end would fly by knowing that he was going to work the next day...well now it doesn't fly quite so fast. ha ha
I better get going. I have to check my e-mails....I haven't checked them for a few days. I didn't even get on the computer for the past couple of days. I don't know why...but it just was.
Have a great day....what is left of it and know that I am sending love and hugs to all and prayers are being said for everyone too.

It's not what you gather, but what you scatter
that tells what kind of life you have lived.
