TGIF- What's Happening?
Good Morning OFF Sistas,
I am up late, not feeling well with the backache from the fall, and a sinus headache. The Celebrex is not working today, and I am miserable with the sinus infection again. Tonight, I had puss draining from one side of my nose. I have to call the ENT's office first thing tomorrow. Oh, darn, I just realized they are closed on Fridays. I will have to call my PCP's offie instead. I see the ENT next week for a follow-up about my sinuses and the broken nose. Now that I have new glasses, I see how crooked it is when I look in the mirror.
The nurse is coming between 9:00 and 10:00 I sure hope she comes earlier than later. On Wednesday, she reminded me that sometimes a wound just hangs on. The big one is shrinking, but still part of it is open. Soon, I hope.
Today is shrink day. I see both my psychiatrist and psychologist later on. I have not been to either in a while. My appointments with the psychiatrist are spaced apart, usually 6 to 8 weeks. My psychologist is more frequent, but I was not able to keep my leg down for any long period of time till this past week.
I hope everyone has an awesome day. It is supposed to be nice again today.
Hugs,
Trish

Seek always to do some good, somewhere. Every man has to seek in his own way to realize his true worth. You must give some time to your fellow man. For remember, you don't live in a world all your own. Your brothers are here too.

trish; hoping for relief for you!
where is everyone?
today i have a lunch date with my son! it will be great to have some time with him alone..he has the most wonderful kids but when we are together we don't get "good" time cuz of the kids' distractions..ifyaknowwhatimean!
then i am off to do some grocery shopping and get the money order for the rent etc...
had a wonderful visit with my granddaughter last nite..tho it tired me out.
really wish that i would get a burst of energy somewhere- i have so much that i still want to do to try to make this horrid apt feel like home--i look around and see what i want to do but just cannot get the motivation to take up hammer and nails or whatever! and, deep inside, i think that i am putting it off cuz A) i will only have to take it down again when we move again and B) it makes it feel permanent.....and i really don't want to be here by fall... we are geographically quite close to where i get my treatments and i will be in radiation til at least end of july so i want to stay here (if i must) til then since rads are a daily drive...so my goal is to move august/september....and that includes breaking the lease which could or could not be a problem- i have read the lease and know what it says however there are many cir****tances here(neighbors/dogs barking 4-5 hours at a time, conditions of the bldg) that could help me to break it!
well- off to get dressed, don the wig and some makeup and big earrings!

I get up every morning determined to both change the world and have one hell of a good time. Sometimes this makes planning my day difficult.

Good mornin', ya'll.
Trish, I bet you are wondering when this entire thing will be over. Soon I hope.
Margo, you must be feeling the same way. There is a light at the end of the tunnel.
Yesterday I made 36 cake pops that looked pretty good. When our DIL didn't stop on her way to work I called her. Sure enough, she had forgotten them, but she was close enough to turn around. Otherwise I would have been making a trip to her school!
Yesterday I also 'did pills'. When we get our refills, I divide them up into weekly pill cases for both of us. I do the entire 3 months worth. My DH has lots to take so it takes me awhile. I had been putting it off.
Today I am determined to go through my tax stuff to be sure I have everything and get it sent off to our tax lady! Another chore I have been putting off. But I know she doesn't like it when her clients wait til the last minute and I can't blaim her.
Our son has another appt for his hand. When they did the shot last time they only did it for his pinky finger. They were supposed to do his ring finger, too. He didn't realize it til he went in to get it straightened and he asked why they weren't straightening his ring finger, too. The reply, we didn't know that was a problem, so we only did the shots for the pinky. Come on, how could they not know? BOTH fingers were pulled way in and he couldn't straighten either one! Grrrrr, doctors!
I better get started on my tax stuff.
Everyone have a fantabulous day!

Hi to all,
Trish: Hope you get right in to your PCP. Get well soon for all things that are hurting you.
Margo, Hope things go well with your Tx.
Grammylew: Busy, busy, busy as usual. Take care of you.
I'm leaving some time between Monday to Wednesday for Texas. Haven't made a long trip by myself in decades. Should be interesting.
Must finish filing and do laundry today. Must buy some good food to take with me. Wish I could take protein drinks but that's not possible.
Hugs to all, Mag

Good morning Trish and everyone....or at least the few that are here right now.......
I went to the VFW last night to hear a three piece band play. There are different guys every Thursday evening and they are all so good!!
It is extremely hard for me to be in that place as that is where I always was when my best friend Chuck was bar tending. Remember he died in his sleep while I was in Iowa. We were best buddies since we were 15 years old. I was sitting there last night with a friend and all of a sudden I had an overwhelming feeling of him around me. I broke down and had to leave. I can't shake this sadness I have felt since then. I hope it lifts soon as right now I am still in pjs and haven't even combed my hair. I made myself get on the computer. What a horrible feeling. I don't feel I ever really grieved him I have more or less just stuffed it away. Maybe that is why. I am going to contact his brother next week and get together. I need closure somehow.
Wishing you all a wonderful day. I would be lost without you!!
Praying for so many in need and a few special friends as well.
Love and many hugs to all...connie d

Good morning all,
I hope your day is improving!
I have been busy with work, and invoicing. I don't like invoicing, but it is a necessary evil.
I am hoping the weather clears and we can get in a baseball game this evening. I would hate to have to do 3 on Sunday.
I have added you guys to my prayer list and ask that you add me to yours. It seems there is so much going on, and some things are looking down. I had a proposal for 3 jobs out, and 1 has been delayed, the 2nd one turned out to be something that required relocation and 40+ hours a week (when did they expect consultants to relocate without being reimursed) and the 3rd one is still in limbo.
My weight loss is going great. I have been coaching a young lady, who is undergoing surgery today. She was so paranoid after reading the RNY board, I told her, do not read this board any more. She was thinking that she is going to be nauseated, not able to eat, in pain the rest of her life, have a stricture or impacted bowel, or numerous other things. She's never been in the hospital before, she has the same surgeon as me and I just said, you will be fine! If you're not, you have my persmission to come back and haunt me. She laughed. So add Rosa to your prayer list.
Love you ladies, have a great weekend!

Yippee skippee, I mailed off all my tax info to the bookkeeper. But I ask you, why do I have to fill out this multi page questionaire that basically gives her the information to just fill in the blanks on the tax form? Since I had capitol gains AND capitol losses AND a stock that is now worthless, I figure she knows what to do about that. Next year I think I'll go back to Turbo Tax!

Hi Trish and my OFF family:
We are having tornado watches and storm watches all around the area today. The sirens have gone off several times already. I'm still in my jammies ... got up after 11:30 a.m. Juliette is hiding ... she knows the storms are coming. I'll have to leave a closet open for her to hide in.
Back to work tonight
I went to see "The Artist" yesterday ... wonderful movie ... it was at a theater on the other side of town. Then I went to this restaurant/brewpub that I was taken to when I interviewed. I only had pizza and salad then; I wanted to try a beer. So yesterday I had a beer and a steak sandwich with a salad. Very good. Especially the beer ... high alcohol content ... hit me hard. Then it was over. Luckily I was eating otherwise I would have been very drunk on one beer.
Margo, I understand about the energy and not wanting to get too settled. I feel the same about this place. I'm not in love with this place either. Especially since it doesn't have a w/d hookup.
Well, I need to get into the shower. Hopefully we don't have a tornado while I'm showering (although that would be the best place to be).
Trish, hope you feel better.
Have a good day.

TGIF my OFF sistas!
I hope all of you are looking forward to the weekend. Your Friday work day is just about over!
Weekends really don't make much difference to me anymore, but for some reason I always feel a sense of 'let down' on Friday nights. I guess I worked for so many years that my body became accustomed to Friday night as a time to relax. And overeat. I really have to watch that syndrome now. Old habits, you know?
Anyway, I am just back from Curves and feeling very proud of myself for achieving my exercise goals for this week. I know it is only 1 week, but hey, it's a lot more than I did last week.
I stopped at Hastings and rented movies for this weekend. Then I stopped at Wal Mart and bought a new crochet magazine. Okay then. No excuses for snacking the night away tonight! I've got movies to keep me entertained and new baby things to make. Hopefully I'll be able to stay out of the kitchen!
I tried a new gluten free pasta last night. It's a spaghetti made from rice. I didn't think too much of it when I first cooked it and sampled a strand, but once I coated it with meat sauce, I really couldn't tell the difference. I have some new gf recipes to try this weekend. One is for those big soft pretzels, only gluten free. Can't wait to see how those turn out!
So, Mag, you think we can aim for next weekend, around the 10th, for our get-together? Send me a message when you have time. Girlfriend, I can't tell you how much I am looking forward to meeting you!
Grammylew, I was at Wal Mart earlier today and I forgot to look for the cake pop pan. I'll check on it next time. I would like to make some of those for Benny for Easter this year.
I mailed off those preemie things to my cousin's new grandbaby this morning. I'll post pics on FB if you want to see. That little "take me home" outfit sure turned out sweet. For our newcomers (or old-comers, LOL!) I'm Vickie Gibson Poe on FB.
Wishing all the best for all of you. Special prayers for those facing big health challenges right now.
Love you all!
