Rainy Tuesday at the Beach
Good morning sistas!
Wow, what a difference a day makes! Yesterday it was warm and sunny and played outside all day. Went fishing, walked on the beach, etc. Today is it windy and rainy and cold! But it starts warming back up tomorrow, so we'll just have a pajama day in the RV today. It's all good.
I keep checking all the posts. Hope everyone is having a great day!
Love you all!
Vickie
Good Afternoon Vickie, and OFF Family,
I was at Colleen's at 7:30 this morning,to watch Frankie. She still went to her teaching job at the community college, and Trent had to go to work for the morning, because they can't afford to not work. Frankie slept till 10:00. He was up during the night, and was sleeping in Colleen and Trent's bed. He's been extra whiny and clingy, and poor Colleen is so stressed, she's having trouble dealing with it.
I had to come home, after Trent got Lincoln from preschool, to get my air bed, and flowered sheets, for Isabel. She'll be sleeping in the boys' room, while Cousin Nathan sleeps in her's.
Anyway, I just finished lunch, and am about to go get changed for the visitation at the funeral home. I'm supposed to go to Bible study tonight, but am so drained, not so much physically, but emotionally.
Must get moving.
Love and prayers,
Trish

Hi Vickie and Trish and my OFF family:
It's sunny and cold (although it did warm up a bit to 23 degrees) but it was just 2 this morning when I went out. I was going to have a not do much day, but wound up staying out way too long. Went to the chiropractor, got adjusted a whole bunch, then went to pick up my new glasses at LensCrafters. Well, they had a special deal going on and I started asking about sunglasses. Ok, the woman waiting on me said, then she told me to pick out some frames and sit down, she'd be right back with me. Well, it was much longer because she had to wait on this old fart of a guy who got his new glasses, but they didn't quite feel right. He tried them on, then walked around in the mall for a few minutes, then came back and said, nope, they weren't quite right. So he gave them back. This took about 20 minutes. In the meantime, I sat there playing solitaire on my phone. Finally, he left. She told me what he really need was cataract surgery, but he was fighting that. So nothing was going to look right until he got that done. I think she broke some privacy laws telling me that, but she was frustrated waiting on him. Anyway, I finally got the sunglasses ordered ... could've gone back for them but didn't want to go through that all over again.
Because after that, I went to look at a recliner at this one store. Well, of course, the two I liked didn't come in the color I wanted (I don't want leather and I want a dark color so it doesn't show all the stains from my coffee and food that I drop because I'm a slob). The two I liked ... one was leather and the other was a light brown. So that was a waste except talking to the woman in the financial department who fed feral cats (I always find these people). She reminded me of my friend Patricia in Louisiana, who gave me Juliette.
I am having a bad fibro flare ... I was supposed to do this fibro study in Terre Haute, Ind., about a 2-hour drive from here, tomorrow, but I just can't do it. I'm all achy and tired. It's why I didn't want to do much today, and then I wound up doing more than I wanted to do ... and didn't get some stuff done that I wanted to do. Oh well ... it'll be there another day. I'm just going to watch the Olympics now and do laundry.
Have a good day everyone.
Good evening Vickie and everyone....
Vickie...a day in your PJs sounds good....just you and Butch....awwwwww!!!
Eileen....glad you got your sunglasses. They will be nice to have. Sorry about your Fibro Flare. I had that the last 3 days as well. I feel your pain!! Hope you can rest now.
Trish....I know tonight and the next few days are going to be very hard on her family and yours. I think Frankie is sensing something is wrong with mommy and daddy. He might be a little scared. I am keeping her family and yours in my thoughts and prayers. God Bless you all.
Carla...glad you are finally on the way home. I hope all goes well and you get there at least by 10PM. That makes for a long day. I am sure Vinny misses you too!!
I am really late tonight. I drove home from Carrie's today. It usually takes 1.5 hours. It took almost 4.0. I got part of the way home and then nausea, stomach pains and major diarrhea. TMI sorry!! I went the back way home and hit all the small towns. I know many of the bathrooms along the way....UGH!! I sat often in my car just sipping 7up. What a ride!!! Unloading the car was the worst. I still don't know how I did it. Tomorrow has to be a better day. Lucas stayed home again today. Poor kid!
Hope you all have a calm day. Many prayers were said for so many of our precious OFF family. Jennifer...you are always in my thoughts and prayers as are others as well.
Good night...love and hugs to all....connie d
Tired, tired, tired. So many medical appointments. Today I had to go to Rehab to pick up my "rollator walker" - the type that has four wheels and a seat. Supplier would not send it directly to me - I had to go to Rehab to be taught how to use it. Like it's complicated - hold the handles and walk, lock the wheels to sit. Duh! I have to pay 20%, which I expected to be $30 - well, the bariatric models are around $700 and I have to pay around $100. And this thing weighs a ton too.
Then, off to the doctor at the Sleep Center. This is the appt. that had to be rescheduled because when I went there on 12/23, I was told the doctor was out for the week. So I see the doctor and she informs me my insurer does not allow them to do the sleep studies at their location, they have to schedule me to go to my insurer's hospital. She also tells me even though I haven't done the "at home test" that my insurance approves, she says I will need a machine "because of my size". I don't think she meant it in an offensive way, but I would prefer to be told I need a machine after the test shows that I do.
This Thursday is an MRI of my neck ordered by the neuro.
Plus, I'm in a grumpy mood. I'd rather go to these appts. by myself, but SO decided to come along. He's a real "back seat driver". We always end up arguing about stupid things. Today was no different. Ggggggrrrrrrr!
Oh well - hope everyone has a good day. My gripes are little compared to other people's problems - I should be more thankful !
