Happy Hump Day
Good Morning OFF Family,
My favorite commercial on TV is the Geico Hump Day commercial. Second favorites are the old couple doing the Swiffer commercials. They are a real married couple, in their early 90's, and the Swiffer commercials are their first acting gigs. That is their own house the commercials are filmed in.
Temps have dropped rapidly this week. Need to wear my down coat earlier here.
Working on getting ready for Mom and Sis to drive out here this weekend. Most of the house is fine. Spare bedroom is a disaster area.
Exercise goal is to walk 30 minutes. Gonna check weather.com to find when it's best to head outside. Can't believe I walked Utley several times a day in subfreezing temps when I lived in apartments. I guess I was heartier then. Now, I'm a wimp.
Praying for all who are struggling.
Love and Hugs,
Trish

Good morning Trish and everyone.....
I have a very heavy heart this morning. Nan was a wonderful friend to so many of us here on OFF. I will miss her so much!! Just thinking about her passing brings tears and heartache to me. I know several others here will feel the same way. At least now she is with Morgan and free of pain.
Trish....I love that old couple commercial too...they are great!! Hope you get the spare bedroom organized before your company gets there. Those rooms always seem to catch everything. Good luck with your exercise. Please dress warm!!
I got a call this morning to go look at that apartment. I don't feel like it as I am feeling so heartsick. The appointment is at 11:00 AM. I guess I better get showered and ready to go. Don't get me wrong I want the apartment. I just feel so sad. I will check in again later.
Wishing you all a wonderful day!!
Prayers for may in need. Special prayers for Nan's family and friends.
Love and hugs to you all......connie d
Trish and OFF-
Trish I love the old couple on the commercial.
Connie I know you're heartsick but power through for that apartment. Everything happens for a reason.
Thoughts to all of you who were good friends with Nan. I did not know her that well but was touched by the story of Morgan. I will keep them both in my thoughts and take some solace as they are together and no longer in pain.
One more appointment and then I will be clear to start traveling to North Carolina. Dealing with my mother's real estate issues here in NH today. Long story and don't want to go into it.
Positive thoughts and hugs to all of you who need them. Especially to Connie on the loss of your friend Nan.
Cindi
Cindi....I did make my appointment and decided I want the apartment. It is small but that is okay with me. It is really cute and well maintained. Not sure where I will put all my furniture....it won't all fit in there!! I am just thrilled to have my own place!! I do the paperwork Friday. If all goes well I can move in!! I don't think there will be any problems.
I don't envy you dealing with your mom's real estate....good luck!
On the way to my appointment I got a call that my ex boyfriend's dad passed away. I knew his parents before I ever knew him. They are family friends. I think I need to take a nap....too much for one day!!!
Prayers...love....hugs....connie d
Hi Judy....sorry the weather is bothering your shoulder. This colder weather always causes so many issues for many of us.
Been a crazy day for me too! I decided to take the apartment as it is really nice. Quite a bit smaller but I will work it out. They have an elevator which will be great because the apartment will be on the 2nd floor. I have to do paperwork on Friday. I am sure that it will be okay and I should be able to move soon.
My ex-boyfriends dad passed away this morning too. I knew his family before we ever got together. We are still all good friends. Ralph will be taking this hard. He was really close to his dad! I will call Ralph this evening.
When it rains it pours! Talk about an emotional roller coaster!!
Love you....HUGS....connie d
Sorry for your loss...seems a lot of dying is going on right now! my cousin died yesterday also...sad.
mom is doing ok just worn out I guess...she has blood work to get done and waiting for another to come back yet...scared she might die soon...she is 92 now.
happy for you that you got your apartment!!! I am sure you will love it even if it is small!!!
HUGSSSSSSSSSSSS
Hi all my sistas!
I have to type fast. This babysitting is intense this morning! Or afternoon now, I guess. I feel like it's been HOURS since Chris left for work! LOL! This baby does NOT like a bottle. Chris bought some new ones yesterday, since he didn't like the first ones she bought. Or that's what we thought. Boy, he REALLY didn't like the new ones! Finally washed and sterilized the old ones again and he finally took that.
Now he's lying on his activity mat just as happy as can be. For The Moment!
At least I was able to grab a quick shower. I feel human again.
I love you all, but have much to accomplish during this quiet lull. Been reading, but no time to comment now.
Vickie
Hi Vickie...still keeping you in my thoughts and prayers!! I hope things remain calmer the rest of the day! Reese is so cute and sweet!! I know how quickly they can flip their switch!!
I did look at that apartment....like I said to Cindi....I fill out paperwork on Friday. If all goes well it will be mine. I don't think there will be any issues. Keep me in your thoughts and prayers anyway!!
My ex-boyfriend's dad passed away this morning too. I have been friends of his parents way before I dated Ralph. They are family friends. Ralph and I have remained good friends too. I feel so bad for him as he was very close to his dad. This will be hard for him.
WOW....what a day!!
Love you....HUGS....connie d
Oh, Connie, what a day of conflicting interests for you! First of all, I'm sorry for your losses today. Sometimes it does all feel like just too much to handle, but as we all age, death becomes more and more part of our lives. It's sad and it hurts, but it is what it is. None of us will escape it. But you know that Nan and Ralph are in Heaven now and free from all earthly worries and cares, no more pain, no more suffering. Try and find the joy in that if you can.
Second of all: whoo hoo!!! Hooray for the new apartment! I don't care how small it is, it will be YOURS! And you can keep it just as clean and neat as a pin and you will feel SO MUCH BETTER! Thanking God for this answered prayer for you! I AM SO HAPPY FOR YOU!!!
Love you sista!
Vickie
