Frigid Friday here on the East Coast - What's Gnu?
As the subject line reads, it is way too cold here this morning . . . but I am not complaining, I have heat and health and am rested.
I went to bed last night at 8 because I was soooooo darn tired, my friend Owen came to take me to the AA meeting we usually make on Thrusday's, but when I told him how tired I was, as due to the cir****tances of the night before, I had only 4 hours sleep, he turned around and took me home, so, of course, I woke up at 4 this morning, but at least that is a solid 8 hours and I needed it really badly.
Lots to do this weekend, need to get my grandkids Christmas shopping finished and get out the decorations and decorate. There never seems to be enough time to do all that needs doing and during the holiday's that seems to be the case more than ever. I need a personal assistant (lol).
Still have not heard anything further about my lost keys, hoping to get them back, as there are things on that key chain that are meaningful to me. . .
Well folks, I will be getting ready for work shortly and that will wrap of my week.
You all have a good day and wishing all of you the peace and strength to get through this thing called life.
Hugs, Laureen

good morning Margo..Laureen...
Margo she is beautiful. I have 3 cats..actually my kids have 2 cats ..that they left here when they moved out. I have one. But the two left have become my "babies". When the kids come to visit they walk away and come to me. So who's cats are they???
Cold here in NY...too cold for December. I'm up and getting ready for school.
I had my first visit with a chiropractor yesterday..wow...I was stunned !!! He did xrays and then told me I have arthritis in my lower back and a curve to my spine AND 2 vertebrae that have slipped forward. ALL can contribute to my digestive issues. WHO KNEW ???? So I go back next week.
Well ...eating my oatmeal and need to get going.
Have a great day everyone...

Hugs to all and prayers to all who need them.

Hugs to all and prayers. Sober 37 days and proud of me.
Hubby insists we go shopping for new bra for me so that is what we will do today. Positive thoughts to me please that I handle this OK. Didn't do much yesterday, but I went in the hot tub and went for a long walk (for me). Knees hurt but I did OK.
Missing my kids and Gkids so much.
We have a GoPhone with ATT. It cost me each time I use it. Our Sara gave us a magic jack, but the phone quality isn't good. Anyone else have experience with magic jack, suggestions received happily.
We will try and reach the Bay Pines patient rep today, she has been out of the office all week. Dreading this call, but it is needed. Hope hubby handles this well.
Love to look at our Christmas tree...it is small but so lovely, filled with our memory ornaments that mean so much to us.
Hugs, Monica

Sometimes I miss the girls. But not the shoulder and back pain and everything else that went with them...
Everyone have a great weekend. And stay warm.
