Somber Saturday

I spent most of the day sitting with the family of a dear friend of 25 years.  She had been moved to the local Hospice house on wednesday afternoon.  I got word during the night that she had passed around midnight. I would just ask that you say a prayer for this family as they prepare to say good bye to a mother, grandmother, sister, sister-in-law, and friend.  She was 60 this March.

Hi Karen...Prayers for your friend's family at this time. How sad. Hugs to you also and Prayers as well!!

So many storms and tornado's last night it breaks my heart to see this happening! What is the matter with mother nature? How much can people take? We are in the red here today for strong storms...said what they had in OK. is what we will be gettinghere today. What I just read is it should hit about 4pm til 6pm for us. Heavy rains also and that really worries me as this place floods FAST when we have alot of heavy rain. So if I am not online you know we were hit with flooding!!! Last nights storm has trees down and power lines also in some areas. We are ok from that storm. Almost flooded but rain let up just in time.

Wanted to scrub my carpet today but not in this weather. So muggy and along with the storms it would never dry good. Plus IF it floods it would be a waste of cleaning it. So best wait and see what happens today. Maybe tomorrow.

Thoughts and Prayers for ALL that need them!!!

HUGSSSSSSSSSSS

Good morning Karen and everyone....

Karen..... I will add your friend's family to my prayer list. I am so sorry for your loss.

Prayers also for all of you in the bad storm areas. Please take care and keep safe.

I am doing okay. They couldn't do the final nerve block in my back because they didn't get insurance authorization yet. They did a temp block to my neck instead. The pain is better but my neck is really sore.

It is hard to type much as I am using my phone. I will do what I can.

Prayers for all of you with what ever your situation may be.

Love and many hugs....connie d

Good Afternoon Everybody,
I'm still using my iPhone to check in and post. My laptop needs professional work to get the keyboard working.

My prayers going out for your friend's family, Karen. It was good of you to visit with her before she passed away.

I'm also pray for Morgan, Connie and all the families in Oklahoma and St. Louis, and all the other tornado stricken areas.

I'm really tired today. I did visit Colleen for a little while at lunch time. Colleen had all the kids' birthday portraits done yesterday. They're absolutely gorgeous. Frankie's birthday was May 3rd. Isabel's is June 14th. Lincoln's is August 1st. She had them done yesterday.

Must scoot.

Hugs,
Trish

Hi Karen and my OFF family:

Karen, sorry about your friend. We are all having to do this now. I had a friend die a few years ago. She was the same age I was. It was in 2006, I believe. So sad.

I spent the day in the car driving home. I'm pooped. It took me longer (or at least it felt that way) because I was so tired and kept having to stop to try to stay awake. Consumed four 24 oz. iced coffees (two Starbucks, one McDonalds, one Dunkin Donuts, all with only SF flavoring in them). I had a hell of a time staying awake. Lots of clouds, a little bit of rain. Legs are swollen, my body and mind are tired. Glad to be home and able to sleep tonight in my own bed. No wor****il Monday.

It was nice seeing everyone ... but before I left, my mom felt she had to lecture me about my weight once again ... like I didn't know I needed to lose it. "The next time I see you, I want to see you looking like that"... and she pointed to the photo you see in my avatar. Well, the next time I'll be up is in August, and I'm not going to lose THAT much weight by then, no matter what I do. I love my mom, but doesn't she realize that her nagging doesn't help things?

Anyway, that's all from here. Have a good day.

 

Eileen,

With that amount of liquid, I would have been wide awake looking for the next rest stop.

It is probably no use to ask your Mom to stop nagging. Comments won't change her either. Maybe you can smile sweetly and say " Gee Mom thanks. I never thought of that". Then walk away QUICKLY before she has a chance to say another word.

I was complaining to my therapist that Tom make little jabs about my small appetite. She asked how I responded. My comment is usually "F&%K you Tom". (yes - a potty mouth) She suggested thanking him for caring. I almost choked on the damned nice words.

Kisses

Annette
