Thursday "Everyone is getting ready for the weekend" What are you doing today?

Hi Everyone!

I am here early and thought I would start us off and running,

Yesterday, I cooked a corned beef and I think it came out tough.  First time I tried it in the crock pot.  I did something wrong.  Everyone else liked it, except me.  Maybe it was my stomach.

Have to take my sister to the doc's again today.  It is hard to keep up these days.

My long lost cousin who found me on facebook, seems to have something wrong with her.  She calls me every night and she was totally drunk.  I hope this not going to be a bad sign.

Well  I am off to start my day

Hoping all of you have a great one.

Prayers to all

Peace

Mary that is sad about your cousin, i guess some of them are better left lost huh?

today i am going down in Ark to Clarksville to visit with my daughter. She is getting ready to pick up and run off from her problems again to San Antonio....one of those things that life will always be better somewhere else ....cant get her to understand that runnig away doesnt solve problems unless she changes ...otherwise she takes the problems with her. Sad i hope one day she will decide to get her head out of the bottle and realize that life isnt so bad sober. so i have a lot of time from my life dealing with someone that is always drunk too. I love her but learned long ago that when she calls and is drunk the best thing i can do is just tell her I love you sweetheart and hang up. otherwise it starts our how much she loves me and then she starts cursing and saying all sorts of hateful , hurtful things
She wont drink while i am there and she will be getting all sorts of things ready for traveling she is having a garage sale and wants me to bring back all the stuff that she doesnt sale...
and store it for her. I dont have any idea where i will store it all but i will try...good thing i have some empty plastic bins....will bring it back home and repack it in those and label them

well our crappy weather is still crappy. we had a week the first week in March of beautiful sunny 70 degree weather and since it has been coudly and dreary and rainy. and not about 50 all day to me that is cold and i cant get outside. and am so down and depressed with no sun. I have SADs and this is the first whole winter i have spent  here where we live ...we usually leave and go somewhere especially Tucson AZ...i told my husband that it will be the las winter ffor here that is for sure. most of these two things are why i havent posted much in a long long while
use to post daily and knew everyone but just kept getting more down all the time and couldnt leave and go for the sun ...I bought a light box last week and hopefully it is helping.  we will see.

Morning Mary, Jan and all my OFF friends,

Mary, sorry to say, this new realitive sounds like trouble. You can pick your friends, but not your realitives!

Jan, I so wish I was able to get to Clarksville and have a cuppa with you! I don't even know where Clarksville is...lol

Gary needed to get up at 5:00 on Tues and forgot to reset his alarm. Yep, it went off at 5:00 when it didn't need to, but I've already switched over a load of laundry, started another, and emptied the DW. Guess I slept enough.
I have my thyroid ultrasound today, then another Dr's appt, lunch w/ a friend, then work for a couple of hours. Busy day off!  At least they expect it to be beautiful.

Hope everyone has a dandy day. Hugs to all!

Had a busy day yesterday.  Turned 57.  At least I feel a lot better than I did at 55 with 180 extra pounds on me, lol.  My dd brought me a huge balloon bouquet to work and I left it up front so the residents could enjoy it.  The really got a big kick out of it.  We had care plan meetings all afternoon and that ran a little long.  I'm ready for the weekend already.  It's been a long week.

Happy belated birthday Sybul!  Sounds like it was a good one, since having surgery, I feel years younger ;)

Hugs, Laureen

HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY!!!!! :-)

Happy birthday!   You are right - turning another year isn't so bad, when you feel younger and better!

Good afternoon Mary and everyone.....

I have been MIA....because I have been spending time with my grandson Nic....what a wonderful time we have had!! Yesterday he went to my sister in laws for a couple days. They needed some help and I know he needs to see them too. I will get him again in the morning. He will be going back to Iowa Saturday.

I have been trying to cram my work hours in while Nic is gone. I don't want to work much when I am with him. What a busy two work days this has been...exhausting!

Nic and I went and surprised my granddaughter Kyleigh with a visit. She hasn't seen Nic in almost a year. Kyleigh was so excited.....so was Nic....for that matter so was I!!  They are so fun to watch and listen to...teenagers...wow!!

I will have to go back and catch up on all the posts I missed while I was gone. Hope everyone is doing okay!

Prayers as always!!

Love and hugs to all....connie d

Happy Belated Birthday Sybul!!!!
