Summer Sunday What's Up?
My thoughts are with the family in Pittsburgh that was killed by a flash flood. My son lives out there. I keep praying for my own kids, and must trust God for their safety.
Connie, I hope you are doing better. Grief takes time, and faith, from my experience. Keep trusting God for your peace.
I am up and can't get back to sleep. I had to go potty, and could not go back to sleep.
Sunday has me going to church, and then home to finish some packing in my bedroom. Now that I must wear the boot, and I can't work till after I move, I can pack all my work clothes, because the move is immeidiately after I see the podiatrist about my sore foot.
If I have time, I will stop at the grocery store for a few items, including some Brita water filters, which I want to buy Mom for her birthday. I think I will also buy her one of those filter bottles, which she is interested in, but can't afford. I bought her a Brita pitcher, and know that she can't afford the filters as much as I can.
Hope everyone has a good day.
Hugs,
Trish

Connie, my prayers are with you. The death of a loved one is hard to deal with. Stay strong.
Yesterday, I delivered my grandson to the Camden Military Academy in SC for his Junior year of high school. He has a break every month. On the short ones he will come here. On the long ones he will fly home to OR. He liked the uniforms (at least I am pretty sure that's what 'these are fresh' means). The football coach was very happy to hear he will be playing football and is a line backer. They had a big discussion about the OR Ducks and Chip Kelly, all positive. He likes his room and the first impression of his roommate was good. Women aren't allowed in the barracks, so I didn't see it. I did get a quick text before they had to put their phones away, they are allowed a small fridge, so will get him one on his first furlough weekend.
My DIL went to JoAnn Fabric in Wilmington Friday and got the sheer Halloween fabric I need for 2 costumes. Very expensive! Our son got his bandage off. He is supposed to gently move it a few times a day. And stop if it hurts. He was moving it and grimacing while they were here Friday. His wife was not happy with him. I said 'I can't believe he won't follow instructions'. I got THE LOOK, and she said, I wonder who he gets that from. OK, guilty!
My prayers are with everyone who needs them. I pray for good health for you all, happiness in your lives, acceptance if not happiness at your jobs, and patience with your loved ones and everyone else you encounter.
Everyone have a fantabulous day!

I too am off to church soon. I have to thank God for all my blessings even on days when I feel like just staying in the bed,,,this is one of those ...
Funny thing is when i make myself get up and out and and go and worship, when I live GODS house I am always feelign better ,,:) He blesses me that way .
No big plans for today , spent yesterday cleaning inside and out all day so today will be a little grocery shopping and then going to the gym late today .
I am having issues with my right hand at the wrist and am sure hoping it isnt carpel tunnel , I have a small lump on the inside wrist area and lost of strength and pain when i try to make a fist. I have lost strength in general in that hand too. I have had an appt at the ortho DR for almost 5 weeks and Wed is my time to go ,,,,I should have looked for a different ortho Dr i guess but in my area they are very limited ,,,Anyway sure praying it is a simple fix..
Wishing a joyfull day for all of you and praying that you will have peace in your hearts today ..
Trish , you sound like me ..I always try to help my mom out with stuff she cant afford. I pay her phone bill each month and send her care packages during the month that sometimes I send her a check with some mad money :)
Blessing and prayers

It's sunny and hot as always in La. ... 92 and feels like 102. On Thursday, I read we have had 38 days of 100 degrees or hotter. So now it's 40, going on 41. Shall we have a countdown? It's just miserable.
My fingers are swollen, my knees are swollen ... not sure why. Both knees were extremely swollen last night when I got home. Not so bad this morning, but still hurt. I think it's the humidity.
Trish, I have a PUR filter on my faucet; had one back in Michigan too and loved it. Makes the yucky water taste so much better.
Not much else going on. Juliette is checking on the outside life on the patio, hoping for birds and lizards and bugs. I'm watching the end of the White Sox-Rangers game from last night (couldn't get through the whole thing ... just too tired). It'll be over soon. They won, 3-2.
Well, have a good day. I have to work this afternoon. Sundays are usually pretty quiet. I'll probably work on the football tab too.
I am just chilling today. I don't want to do anything, including cleaning up after my DH made breakfast!
Sometimes I just love that man.
Another weekend of company, I love all these people, but it sures wears me out. Next weekend, grandkids again. Such is life! Have a wonderful day all!
Connie my heart is breaking for for you, Please take care of you.

I am up but not feeling very alive.....I medicated myself to sleep last night and slept 12 hours. I am completely drained and my body is still exhausted.
Thank you all for the good thoughts, prayers, wishes, love, and hugs. I feel like I have you all wrapped around me. You bring me such comfort. Love to each and everyone of you!!!
Wishing you all a good day....I am going to make myself get outside and sit in the sun for a bit today even if it is just on the front steps.
Praying for those in need....especially Morgan.
More love and hugs to all.....connie d
You are in my thoughts and in my heart. Praying. Mag 
Good afternoon to Trish and everyone,
Looks like a really slow day on the boards. Not enough happening here. I laid down for a "nap" and woke up 6 hours later. I must have needed it. I have so much to get down today. So glad I go to services on Saturday.
I had my first post-op experience at a party. The hostess told me there would be a few things to eat but not a full meal. I couldn't believe how much was there. Food everywhere. I had a few bites of chicken, a small bite of an egg dish, and some slices of cheese with 3 small crackers. I am pleased with my choices, Nothing with gravies or sauces. One thing good was there were no desserts. Didn't have to think about them. Life is pretty good. Must run. Pills to set up. Laundry to finish. need to repack. There are so many clothes I want to take because they fit nice, but can't take them all. Hugs and good thoughts to each of you. Mag
Afternoon OFF family...its almost evening here and I worked til 2 and came home and just sat in the lazyboy and vegged out. I HURT again!!! I am calling the pain dr tomorrow on my break and see if I can get some differnet pain meds but I know I will have to go in to see him. Another co-pay in the works...grrrrr but I can't take this pain any more!!! I can't even sleep with doubling the vicodin!! And trying to work..haha thats another story! Lucky for me it was slow as I had to work alone yesterday. Today it didn't get busy til about the time I left. Tomorrow I work 830-5. IF I can make it all day!
