Happy Thursday Everyone....
Good morning everyone....
I was on here last night and kept losing posts. I hope today is better!
I made homemade chow mien for everyone yesterday at my daughter's request. It turned out really good. Everyone sure enjoyed it.
Today I am relaxing and not doing anything. I have had a very busy last couple days. After I pick Lucas up from school I need to take him for a haircut. It looks fine to me but you know how kids are....LOL! I am heading back to St Cloud on Sunday. I have things I need to get done.
I hope all here are having a beautiful day! Prayers for those in need...special prayers as well.
I will check back in later!
Love and hugs to all.....connie d
Hospital called this morning, am booked for 25 September for second attempt at breast biopsy....if they cant get it, then oncology surgeon is next step to have it out and checked by lab.
For now 3 weeks to wait for my apt, plus another 5-10 days after for result if they get their samples....
Today is a better day, hope it is for you too!

Good morning Connie and my OFF sistas!
Oh, it IS frustrating to lose a post, isn't it? It happens a lot on OH for some reason.
Connie, I'm so glad you're having this week with your family. It sounds like just what you needed for a pick-me-up. I have never made chow mien before. I don't really care for oriental food for some reason. I like Tex Mex and some Italian, but that's about as adventurous as I get. LOL! I'm a pretty plain southern cook for the most part.
Talked to Butch this morning. He is having a good week at the other lakehouse near Nacogdoches. Got a good report from his doctor yesterday. The hormone therapy is working just as it's supposed to and shutting down his body's production of testosterone. No testosterone=no prostate cancer. Unfortunately it also equals no #brownchickenbrowncow, but that's a small price to pay for my husband's life. He'll have one more round of hormones in December, and then he can go off of them for another year. He will always have the prostate cancer, but it can be managed. We just have to continually monitor his PSA for the rest of his life, but at least he HAS a life. He doesn't like the way the hormone therapy makes him feel, but I tell him I'd rather have him than sex any day.
Sorry, that was probably TMI.
I am having fun crocheting these texting gloves this week, but I'm a little frustrated with how my yarn is working out. The pattern says 50g of yarn, but so far, I've not been able to make 2 complete gloves from any one skein of yarn, even though the skein is 50g. I'm going to have to order more yarn to finish these first 2 pairs of gloves. I get about 1& 3/4's gloves out of each skein. Grrrr.
I am so enjoying my new Audible.com account! I am listening to books as I crochet or drive or fold laundry. I love it! I just wish they weren't all so expensive. I wonder if I can check out audio books from the library? Prolly so, but then how do I listen to them? Anyone else ever do this?
I asked Butch if he could bring back my sewing machine cabinet this time, but he said it was buried too deep in the storage building for him to easily get to it. Sigh. I should have moved it last year when we moved here, but I couldn't envision having time to sew with Benny being a toddler. Short sighted of me, to say the least. Now I would love to have it, but I'll just have to make do with sewing on the kitchen table. I do miss my sewing/craft room in my old house.
Today is Christie's day off, but she left with Benny this morning and hasn't been back. I think she might have gone to see a lawyer. I hope so. She's been letting things drag out for months and months with John (Benny's dad). He pays no child support at all. Of course, he hasn't called one time since they split up to ask about Benny either. (And neither have his parents! Can you believe that?) At first, Chris was afraid of having to share custody and was happy enough to leave him alone, but lately I think she has been realizing how expensive raising a child is going to be and has decided the man ought to be made to pay his share. I doubt the son of a b*tch even has a job, but she needs to get it all nailed down legally anyway. Butch and I are committed to taking care of Benny regardless, but the man ought to have to pay child support or go to jail if he can't/won't. He certainly should have gone to jail when he assaulted my daughter, and that didn't happen to him either. Sometimes I just have to wonder about people.
Butch and I are hoping to get away a couple of days next week and make a short trip in our new travel trailer. We won't go far. If we get to go at all, it will just be for 2 nights. I just want us to have some time together to try out our new trailer all by ourselves with no toddler to deal with. Is that asking too much? Maybe. I feel like we haven't had a chance to even talk uninterrupted since he's been home, much less have any couple time together. Sometimes I feel like we're more roommates than a married couple. I know he loves me and I love him, but every couple needs private time together to reconnect and establish that special level of intimacy with one another. We haven't had that opportunity in a very long time.
Well, it is what it is. Benny won't be small forever, will he?
Hope everyone is having a good day today. I should write something individual about each one, but CRS is bad this week. I just can't seem to hold two thoughts in my head at one time these days.
Love you all!

Hello Vickie....these lost posts are really a problem. After trying 3 times it is a wash....too tiring to re-do again....my poor hands really hate it. It only happens on OH too!!
Yes... I am enjoying my family. Been overdoing it though. My body is saying slow down!! I just have such a desire to keep busy....although there isn't much to do. I manage to keep busy anyway! So much room and it is so relaxing here. Everyone is leaving for the weekend so I will be here alone. Ahhhhhh!!!
What the heck do texting gloves look like...open finger tips?
So glad Butch is doing well. I agree with you...you two do need time together. I hope you can manage to go somewhere. Sorry he couldn't get your sewing machine cabinet.
It is great that Christie is going to see a lawyer. Benny's dad and family should be ashamed of themselves!! Benny is precious....their loss!!
Love and hugs.....connie d
Ahh, so, grasshopper. LOL! Texting gloves are just fingerless gloves. I decided to make them for small Christmas gifts for all of these young women I'm surrounded by these days. Carrie and her friends, Chris, and her friend Andrea.
However, I did think I could make each pair from one skein of sock yarn. Not happening. So my very inexpensive gifts of less than $5 each are going to be a bit more expensive by the time I order all this extra yarn. Poop! Oh, well, I'll just have to use the left over yarn to make a striped pair for me! Or maybe striped socks for me.
Jennifer--we must have posted at the same time. Sorry I didn't greet you above! I'm glad you are getting so many follow-up appointments, but sorry for the added stress and wait times! Praying for a good outcome for you!

Afternoon OFF family...can I say I am worn out????? Off and running AGAIN today...same ordeal as yesterday only this time it was with her family arriving....found out things about this tenant I never knew and the LIES she told about her own daughter!!! OMG!!!!! She was telling everyone she was killed and chopped up....WRONG!!!!! Her daughter is alive and well!!!!!!!!! She treated her family like dirt...same as here...if you didn't jump when she said too omg look out!!!!!!! I told them how sorry I was for their loss...didn't know what else to say without letting them know how we all really felt. Sad...
Went to therapy and man they are sure working me hard to get better!!!! New pill is working I guess I didn't feel like throwing up...but it did wake me in middle of the night with a headache but it went away. Sore across the back of my neck and shoulders...tight is best I can describe it. VERY tight!!!
My son will be here tomorrow for the weekend and my house is a disaster....I am to pooped to care how it looks right now...but it will get done before they arrive tomorrow night. I HOPE!!!!
Thoughts and Prayers for ALL that need them!!!!
HUGSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
Oh, wow, Judy! Your life as an apartment manager is anything but boring! That woman obviously had a screw loose somewhere. Isn't it sad? Like I said earlier, sometimes I just have to wonder about people.
Don't worry about your house tonight. Your son will certainly understand how ill you have been with your shoulder and unable to do your normal routine. I'm glad you're no longer nauseous, but so sorry about the headache. They are a misery, for sure.
Hoping your shoulder begins to feel better soon--VERY soon! You've lived with this pain long enough. Prayers daily for your healing!
