Good Sunday Morning!!

Good morning everyone.....

It is like ghost town here today!! I am getting on late and thought there would be some posts already. Hope everyone is dong well.

Any word on how Makki is doing after her surgery?

Nothing new here for me today. I need to get out and get some calcium at some point this afternoon. Have to decide what I want to put in the crock pot for dinner. Gee I have an exciting life!!

I will check back in later. Have a wonderful day everyone!!

Prayers for many in need!

Love and lots of hugs to all....connie d

Good Afternoon Connie and OFF Sisters,

I woke up after 9:00 this morning, and tried to get ready for church, but was too wiped out to try to get there.  I also needed to go into town to get a prescription filled.  I am sick again with a sinus infection, and had a script from December for an antibiotic.  My prescription insurance was accidentally canceled Friday, and there's a grocery store in town that fills prescriptions of antibiotics free.  I have leads for a family doctor and gyn to call and get appointments with.  I didn't get to my annual gyn exam, because it was due the week I was supposed to move.  I also forgot to get my last mammogram film to bring, so I have to call back to the hospital where I got it, and have it sent to me, so wherever I get my next one done, they have a baseline.  

In a little while, I'm heading to the local grocery store to buy more Girl Scout cookies from my granddaughter.  I'm sending a bunch to a female soldier I adopted in January.  She's deployed in Afghanistan.  I bought a bunch of toiletries and snack foods, including candies and crackers.  I want to get the package in the mail tomorrow.

I also need to go into town this week to get a big trash can on wheels for trash day.

I hope everyone has a blessed day.

Hugs,

Trish

Trish....sorry you aren't feeling well. I am glad there is a place for you to get the medication filled. Praying that you feel better soon.

I also send cookies to the troops. I can't have them around and I know they enjoy them!! I have done this for quite a few years.

Hopefully you were able to get some rest today.

Love and hugs...connie d

 

Hi Connie and Trish and all my OFF sistas!

I am moving pretty slow today.  SO HAPPY not to have a house full of workers today.  I need a day of peace and quiet for sure.  Got up this morning and started trying to clean the new floors.  They are covered with a fine film of dust!  Well, the whole house is covered with dust, but I thought I would start with the floors.  You can't sweep it.  It just scatters everywhere.  I have a swiffer-like thing with a terry cloth cover, so I used that.  It kinda like wiping down a table, only a lot more of it!  I would sweep up a pile of charcoal colored dust, then suck it up with the vacuum hose.  I did that for 2 solid hours this morning!  I finally quit.  They'll just be back here tomorrow and make more dust, you know?

So I had to lie down and rest a bit after all that sweeping.  Now I'm ready to tackle paying my bills.  Goodness, it's already the 3rd and I haven't even glanced at my checkbook yet.  Got to get on top of it today, since they'll be working in my bedroom all day tomorrow and my computer will be out of use again.

Butch feels lousy this morning.  I swear, neither one of us can shake this damn cold.  I'm breathing better today.  Maybe I won't have another relapse.  Chris and I are trying to do some of the mountain of laundry today.  We haven't been able to wash clothes for 5 days!  It does pile up in a hurry.

We have had to eat out so much this past week that I have had a very grouchy pouchy for days.  I just do not handle restaurant food very well.  I'm thinking about making a pot of vegetable beef soup today and some cornbread.  Something easy for my tummy to digest. 

Well, I need to get started on paying bills.  Not the most fun day for me, for sure.  At least it's easier now that we've sold one house.  Instead of triple utility bills to mess with, I only have two of everything.  Yes, we still have the other lakehouse back in East Texas.  I would like to sell it, too, but I know my husband will never agree to that.  I haven't even brought it up.  He would freak out.  Easier just to keep my mouth shut and keep the peace. 

Hope everyone is doing well today.  Love you all!

Vickie.....I am so sorry you are sick too!! I hope you got the nap in that you wanted. You are doing way too much my dear. The dust would bother me too. But then, I couldn't even be in that with that going on. Prays continue for you and Butch too!!

I paid bills today too. I don't have as much to pay as some. But then my income is lower too.  Rent, internet, storage unit, insurance on my phone and health/auto insurance premiums. It all adds up so fast!!

Hope you were able to enjoy your soup tonight!!

Love and hugs...connie d

Thanks Connie! I did have my soup. I made that yummy vegetable kale soup and cornbread muffins. Then I had half an apple for dessert. My pouch feels much better this evening. Something about restaurant food just does not sit well with me anymore. I have to eat my own cooking! What did you wind up throwing in the crock pot? Bet it was good! Nighty-night!

Vickie....I ended up taking some of my vegetable kale soup from my freezer and had that instead of doing anything else in my crock pot. We were on the same page with that...yum!!!! Thanks for the recipe!!! I gave a container to my daughter to take home and try. She loved it too!

Hope you had a good nights sleep.

Love you my friend...hugs....connie d

 

Hi Connie and my OFF family:

Sounds like everyone is having an energy drain. I am, too, but I have to go to work. Really tired but will have to get moving soon. I have to pick up my boss ...no buses on Sunday so he asked for a ride. Sure, no problem. It's not that far out of the way.

Last night was a bear ... I am so glad this will be the last Saturday night I'll work sports. So much was late because we had three boys basketball sectionals that were at night, plus Indiana University basketball ... but that game was over at 7:30 p.m. ... the sectionals were later, but we got those stories earlier than the IU column done by the sports editor. He didn't get his story in until 11:20 p.m. Don't know what he was doing. When I was writing, I could get a story done an hour after the game, or faster. Plus, I'd have to answer phones, deal with part-timers and edit copy. He wasn't even in the office and it took him four hours to do the story? Geesh! We were late because of him. Anyway, hopefully today will be easier. I'm tired.

Hope all of you get some rest. I just need coffee. 

Have a good day.

Eileen....I hope tonight goes much better for you. What the heck was wrong with that sports editor....he should be in trouble for that....four hours is is crazy!!

You are so nice to help your boss out. I am sure he won't forget it.

I hope Mary Kay is doing well too. More prayers for her as well.

Hugs and love....connie d
