What's New, Wednesday
What's new, Wednesday, you ask?
Other than the fact that I stupidly had a big cup of coffee at 8 PM....NOT decaf?
Yup, I did. And here I am, WIDE awake. I really want to go to sleep, but I haven't had much luck with that these past 2-1/2 hours.
So, I figured I'd get out of bed, maybe start the thread, and cuddle with the kitties and a nice blankie and a book. Till who knows when....
Everyone jump on board, and tell us how your day is going. I'll check back later, hopefully after some sleep.

My day is evidently going better than yours. I just woke up from my lunch time nap about 30 minutes ago. Every night I take a 20-25 minute nap on my lunch hour. Gives me just enough oomph to make it through the rest of the night.
Easy day lately. Going to get a little busier here now. Four newbies started on my shift. Fresh out of training. Oh well, that's what I get paid for.

Good morning, ya'll.
Well, my DH and I went to G-Ville Monday. I had a late afternoon apt with my radiology oncologist. All is well, come back in 6 months, yippee. My DH had an appt with his band surgeon early Tuesday, so we spent Monday night up there. A nice change for us. I also saw his band surgeon and got a 1 cc fill. I had 1.4 cc's from my Fill Centers USA doc. Well, I think I am too tight. I have never been too tight before! Had a hard time with my pills last night. This morning my EAS is going down VERY slow, I don'y even want to try the pills yet!! I'll call the doc later and see when I can get in for tweak. I wouldn't mind not being able to eat much if I wasn't still doing chemo.
Chemo today and see the chemo oncologist. So many doctors. I have a few questions written down for her. I mainly hope I'll be done this month so I can get my shoulder repair scheduled!
Our DIL got back from visiting her Momma in OR. She came by yesterday to say she needs a pink baby layette for her sister. I just happen to have one I did while I was in the Hope Lodge doing radiation. I just need to make the booties. I knew if I made them someone would need them. I also have a blue set that needs booties.
Today on 'Regis and Kelly' is the pretty baby contest finalist thingy. My second cousin once removed is one of the 5 finalists. (She is the granddaughter of my Dad's cousin.) Her name is Maggie Sue Romeo. A very nice college scholorship is involved. I hope she wins. She is a cutie!
Everyone have a fantabulous day!

Good monring everyone! Candygirl, thanks for getting us up and ready!
Let me see, well today is going to be a busy one. I have to go to the food pantry at church I volunteer for from 10-noon.
Then, my art teacher wants to go to lunch, so off to pick her up because she can't drive yet due to her major jurgery a couple of weeks ago. With all my other things going on I feel I have neglected her. Honestly, I wish I could just stay home and in bed...lol
Can't stop the munching at night. I think it is stress. Going to start going to bed early so I can stop eating.
Once I am in bed, I don't want to get out.
Grammylew I hope things get better for you. You are dealing with a lot.
To everyone else- You are in my thoughts also
Peace

This week is going quickly. PT went well yesterday, albeit somewhat painful...doing lots of stretching exercises to get the foot mobile again, and then had 25 minutes of INTENSE massage.
They want to wrap it tomorrow after my session with ace bandage to help with the swelling. Where I didn't have pain before, I do now! OH well, this too shall pass, hopefully for the better.
Back to work this morning - looking forward to it. I enjoy my job so very much and have such great ppl to work with.
Sis did a fantastic job of cleaning for me yesterday - the house smells so clean and fresh. We went to Kroger shopping - that was fun, so I'm all set for a while again.
Need to finish my decaf green tea and get some breakfast.
Prayers and special thoughts to all - I care about all of you and wish you the very best. Have a wonderful day.
Jacki, I wish my son would build me a railing like you got...I have two steps to my laundry too and it sure would help. Guess I should ask!

Hi Candy and everyone on OFF,
Hope everyone has a wonderful Wednesday. The weather is pretty yucky here, cold, dreary and raining/snowing. At least it's not all snow.
Sorry to hear you had trouble getting to sleep, Candy. I have that problem with caffeinated coffee too so I won't drink it after 2 or 3 in the afternoon. At night I try to stick to my protein shakes in milk.
Not much going on right now. I just put two paperbacks in the mail. I belong to Paperback Swap and it's a really good deal. I'll be able to order 2 books this time around. I save a LOT in the cost of books.
Later, I will take my youngest for her job interview. It would be wonderful for her to get this job. She doesn't drive yet (can't afford to put her on our insurance) or have a car yet so she'll need us to get her to and from. The store is right here in town, less than 10 minutes away. I'm pretty sure they'll hire her. It's one of those places that will hire everyone who applies and then wait for the slackers (hopefully) to quit.
So have a great day all!

Good Morning All....Up early again this morning....Appointments and/or gym all this week. Everything going well. I don't mind going to Dr. appts anymore as I look forward to stepping on the scales for the first time in years and years. I haven't gained or lost but am maintaining at 10 pounds below goal and that is just fine with me. Clothes fit good, feel good and that's what counts. So looking forward to spring as I am sure all of the rest of you are as well. We've had many mornings of fog and frost and gray gloomy days.
Love and Peace to all of you.
Sandy

Hi everyone. I'm back.
Finally went to sleep about 3 am, and woke up less than an hour later to the sound of the "Kitty Hairball Song". Those of you who have ever had cats are familiar with it. Once I was awake, I couldn't let it go, 'cause it's really nasty to walk through the house first thing in the morning barefoot, and, you know.....
Found it, cleaned up, headed back to bed. It took the four of us (myself and three cats, let's not have naughty thoughts) another half hour to settle down again. I just woke up at 10 am, feeling like I haven't slept at all. There will be a nap before work, I think, even if it's just a short one.
Why do we do things that we know will have unpleasant repercussions? I KNOW I can't have caffeine in the evening, and I had decaf ready to be made if I wanted coffee last night. But I drank the caffeinated stuff anyhow, 'cause it was there, even while telling myself I shouldn't, because I knew what would happen. I still do that with food once in a while.
I don't do stuff like that as much as I used to. I guess it's a learning curve. The episode last night will keep me in line for a good while. I hate not being able to sleep, and normally have very little problem. I really sympathize with those of you you sleep poorly on a regular basis.
Today will be a lazy day. Going to FarmVille and play for a while. May pay a few bills. Then work.
Everyone have a great day, and thanks for listening to me whine.

Hi Candy and all my OFF friends,
I woke up to snow coming down this morning. The weatherman said 1-5 inches throughout the day. He didn't say anything about this in last night's forecast. Just when I was starting to see the lawn again.
Going to my niece's tonight. She and I are close so it will be nice to see her. Only a week and a half to her wedding.
Has anyone heard from Brenda? I was just wondering if she is OK.
Not much else to report. I'm a little unsettled in my life right now but working on it. Just restless about not being where I wanted to be at this point.
Have a good day everyone.
Bev
