Thursday What's New With You?
Good Morning Family,
Well, I woke up with a can't sleep headache. Partly, because it's warm in my bedroom, and partly from the sinus headache. Connie had asked about sinus surgery yesterday. I just had it in June. I have terrible allergies, and my sinuses close up at the trigger of an allergy, and then I get infected.
Speaking of family, today is Mom's birthday. Of course, because of all the excitement of the accident, I forgot to send her present. She's not going to accept that as a reason, so I'll just call her and wish her Happy Birthday, and then mail some pics of my grandchildren I just got off Facebook that my daughter posted. Then, I'll send her flowers next week. I'd send have sent them last night, but my checking account is empty.
The rest of today will be spent attending an AA meeting, and doing my volunteer work. I hope to contact the election office to get back there. It's been a while since I was there. I had my back rhizotomy, and then haven't been back.
I hope everyone has a blessed day.
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.

Morning Trish,
Haven't felt much like posting lately, but I try to read some of what is happening in everyone else's life. To the newcomers here, I welcome you, as this is a great place for support.
I am not feeling all that well, have to get my bloodwork done, have a sneaking suspicion I know what it is, but until I get bloodwork done, won't know for sure and I am tired and in constant pain, though some of it is arthritis and there is little I can do to alleviate that pain at the moment, more than I am doing, but not feeling like myself, even still, I'm moving and doing the things I need to, but at the end of the day I am exhausted and happy to get in my bed, though some nights sleep is fitful and there is the 3x a night I awake to potty, oh the joys of aging (lol). . . it could always be worse, so I'm not complaining, just giving you/everyone the lowdown on what's going on and why I'm not as present as I used to be. . .besides there are plenty of you here and I'm not really missed when I'm away, but I'm never that far away either ;)
Anyway, it's a workday and I'm at work, not busy for the moment, but going at lunchtime to pick up a birthday cake for a co-worker friend who's birthday it was on Tuesday, but she wanted to wait until everyone was in to celebrate and today is the day for that, after work, meeting with a friend to do some step work and then to my homegroup meeting, after which I will gladly climb into bed and hopefully get a good night's rest. Everyone I talk to these days is tired and having sleep issues, think it is the changing of the seasons as well as the crazy weather we've had lately here on the East Coast. . . oh well, on a positive note, life is good and I'm looking forward to the weekend.
Hugs and good wishes to all, Laureen

My Mantra is that I do not determine my success by the number hanging in my closet, nor will I let the scale determine that success either. . . It is through trial and error I will continue to grow and succeed. . . Laureen

Aww Sweet Vickie,
Thank you for your kind words and please know I meant that in a manner as to the board is active enough that I need not be missed. . . but I can say it is always nice to hear that when one is not present they are missed though ;)
Glad your hubby is home again and making "greasy" breakfasts that you no longer enjoy (lol). . . like you, my tastes have changed and things that I used to love, like fried chicken and deep fried foods are not something I care for any longer. . .
You have been a busy woman with Benny and I hope you are doing and taking good care of yourself!
Hugs, Laureen

Laureen...YOU HAVE BEEN MISSED!!!
I haven't hardly seen you on Facebook lately. I have been praying you were okay.
I have pretty much been feeling the same way. This horrible arthritis and Fibromyalgia pain is really getting to me. I know it has a lot to do with the season changes. I would rather sleep all the time. But, like you I force myself to keep moving! I hope you find some relief from your pain too!
Hugs and love and prayers....connie d

Hi Connie,
I don't do a lot of Facebook time, mostly just play my games and check up on what others are doing. . . it was fun when Sammie was here, because I chronicled our time together, but otherwise, occasionally I'll share something I think worth posting. . .
I strongly hold to the thought that, depression can't hit a moving target, so I keep moving to avoid falling into a case of the "poor me's" a dangerous place to be in for someone like me and when the occasional symptoms show up, I move faster ;)
Thanks for thinking of me and sending your hugs, love and prayers, back atcha!!!

Laureen,
I'm going to remember that! "Depression can't hit a moving target!" That's a good one. What you call the "poor me's", I call the "blue funk". Whatever you name it, it's the pits when you get it. I try to stay busy, too. Either that, or learn something new. If I can keep my mind engaged, the blue funk stays away.

Laureen,
You most certainly are missed when you aren't around. I know your sharing encourages me to keep on keeping on, especially where AA and overall self-care are concerned.

Hi Trish,
Thanks for your too kind words, I really do try to encourage people through my own actions, as that is what I believe works best and so if I do that with you or anyone, that makes me feel good.
Hope you feel better!!! Allergies in full force this time of year, so I know all about sinus stuff right now, though mine generally is the nasal drip variety and sooooo annoying. . .
Hugs back atacha, Laureen

Good morning Trish and Laureen and all my OFF sistas!
Well, I finally got that man of mine home yesterday afternoon. Thank goodness! He had the crew change from hell, poor darling. Too complicated to write it all out here. Suffice it to say there were plenty of screw ups at every turn.
He was asleep by 8 p.m. and wide awake at 3:00 a.m. Jet lag is a ***** He got up and cooked a huge breakfast: eggs, sausage, gravy, homemade biscuits, etc. I was a good girl. I ate half a biscuit, half a fresh peach and drank my Pro Joe. I just can't eat those big greasy breakfasts anymore!
Not sure what we're doing today, except that it will be low key, I'm sure. He'll play out by mid-afternoon. Right now he is playing "rough house" with Benny, who is giggling and having the time of his life. Guys just play differently from girls, don't they?
Benny's first day of school yesterday went great! He never cried, played with all the other kids, learned about the letter "A", ate all his lunch, and took a nap at nap time. Chris said when she picked him up, he wasn't ready to leave yet! I knew he was ready for pre-school. I'm so thankful that we can afford to do this for him.
Trish, I'm sorry you are feeling rotten with the sinus infection. Hope you start to feel better soon. You sure have been through a rough patch these past several months! Oh, and special prayers for Carla, who posted on FB that she was re-admitted to the hospital last night. She is not doing well at all after her surgery. I hope they can figure out what's going on with her and she can go home to Florida soon.
Love you all!
