Its Tuesday whats up in your world

  Good Morning Off 
It must be a busy morning for lots of friends here or maybe some are enjoying a sleep in.
Busy day here running to get all the volunteer drives done as I wont be around the end of the week. We are heading up north to spend Thanksgiving with our families.  Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday.  Memories of the smell of the turkey long before it was done  my grandmas wonderful pies  moms great home rolls.   It was Moms favorite also.   I still miss mom after 2 years  but shes always there in our hearts. 
 Have a great day everyone!

Good Morning Jo, Those to Follow:

It is almost always busy for me and lately a bit more, due to the fact that this evening I am jetting down to Florida to spend Thanksgiving with Marlene, Sami, Dylan (my older daughter and her two children), Angela (my younger daughter) and their boyfriends.  I know the weather is supposed to be good while I'm there, so I am looking forward to that in addition to spending time with my girls.

Well I'm here at work and better get back to it, lots to do before I leave at 4 or 5 today depending on the needs of the office and it just might be needy (lol). . .

Wishing you all the very best of days and for those facing the more serious challenges of life, I wish you the strength and peace to get you through them.

Hugs, Laureen

Hi Jo, Laureen and all my OFF friends,

Jo, my mom has been gone for 7 years and I still miss her. It's a hurt that never really goes away.

Laureen, hope you have a wonderful, sunny and warm vacation with the kids and kids of kids!

Yesterday I got some answers to the mysterious ****up with my diagnosis. First, let me say that my doctor called me personally on Friday to discuss the mess up with the messages and conversations. Apparently the radiologist who called with the "all clear, see you in six months" results had only gotten the preliminary report. The FINAL report went directly to the breast doctor, bypassing the radiologist. She showed me the report, and explained that there were atypical cells in the sample, but not enough to make a definate diagnosis, hence the need for the lumpectomy. Surgery is scheduled for Dec 1, and the final, FINAL pathology report with be given to me on the 9th when I go for my follow up.

Thank you all for your concern, kind words and support through this. I know I'm not always here, but you're always in my heart!

Susan I am happy that your dr called you personally to talk to you about that ****up!!! And now that surgery is scheduled for the lumpectomy you will know for sure what exactly is going on!!!! Prayers continue for you that everything is fine!!!!

HUGS

 Susan - I'm glad you had personal contact.

 Good Morning Jo and OFF,
I slept in today.  I need some iron infusions and have zero energy today.  I must get some tidying done, because it looks like a hurricane hit my place.

Today, I am heading to my AA meeting at noon.  From there, I have to get bloodwork done.  My INR was high, meaning I had too much Coumadin in my blood, so I have to go back and get it checked again today.

I am also waiting for the nurse manager at my hematologist's office to return my call.  It took two weeks to get results back of my iron levels, to learn I need iron infusions.  That is just way too long.

Hope everyone has a blessed day.

Hugs,
Trish

Morning OFF Family!!!!

Well I am busy as busy can be and taking a few minutes to spend it with you!!! Have to vent here so watch out....OK here goes...I asked Rick to call his mom and invite her over for Thanksgiving dinner. She will be here. OK. So will his daughter and grandson we hope. Anyhow...last night he gets a phone call from his mommy dearest. She is telling him poor Joe (brother) can't make rent blah blah blah (his rent is $495 a month) and can't afford to have a turkey dinner at his place. So is it ok for them t come to ours? Rick says sure. THEN he finds out Joe has an extra person living with him and Angel!! She ALREADY INVITED HIM OVER TO OUR PLACE BEFORE ASKING US IF IT WAS OK!!!!!!!!!!!! Now mind you I do not care BUT our apartment is torn apart with us packing our things for our move and is in no way presentable for people we do NOT even know!!!!!!!! I think she had alot of nerve asking this person over without asking US first!!!!!!!!! Am I wrong in feeling this way?????? I am just glad that in One more week we will be packing that truck and getting the hell away....WOOOHOOOO!!!!!!!!!! I know some of you are missing your mom's right now and I really hated to post this but this woman has been a thorn in my side for way to long now. I miss my mom and she is5 hours away...so I can only imagine how it is for all of you that do NOT have your mom's here at all anymore. My heart goes out to you believe me!!! But Rick's mom I really believe she lays awake at night planning on what she can do to get our goats!!! I apologize for venting but its something I had to do so I can get through this right now....with all the packing and the holiday's and the moving into our new place and the new job and all...OMG so much all at once....I am about ready to pull my hair out!!! Thanks for being here once again for me!!!!! :-) HUGS

I will go without gravy on my potatoes!!! My motto...KMA ;-) See I CAN be nice when I want to be....LMAOOOOOOOOO

Hi Jo and my OFF family:

It's way too early for me to be up. I got up at 6:30 and couldn't get back to sleep. Back hurt, it was thundering and lightning and raining (although the rain sounded nice). I got up, took a pain pill for my back, read for awhile, tried to sleep again, dozed off for a half hour, finally decided to get up and have breakfast.

Work was a bear last night; it's like herding cats with these guys sometimes. I had to hold my tongue or I was going to get in trouble. I did make deadline but barely.

I don't feel like doing anything on Thanksgiving. I plan on getting some turkey wings and making my own feast, staying home and watching football all day. I'm tired. I may put up my one little ceramic tree. I don't think I'm going to put up much for Christmas because I don't know where I'll be.

I have an appointment at the pain clinic to refill my pain prescriptions, then off to work this evening.

My memories of Thanksgiving are of going to other people's home. Mom was never a great cook. We have gone to my brother Ed's the past few years. I miss that; I will Skype them on Thursday. Ed and Margaret make a nice feast. I miss spending holidays with my family. Maybe next year.

Well, that's all for me. Have a good day.
