Home Sweet Home Saturday

Good morning sistas!

We are just lazing about today.  Butch had a decent night.  He doesn't feel real good, but he's not throwing up sick either.  He did get a little gagged taking his morning pills, but that was all.  I don't expect we'll do much at all today.  

How is everyone else?

Hi Vickie and my OFF family to come:

Glad you are resting. I hope Butch continues to do OK (I know he won't be 100 percent well ... that's expecting too much). But try to relax and chill out at home. No baby-sitting either. Those are doctor's orders.

I wish I could stay home and relax. I'm dragging this morning. I slept well enough, but my back is bothering me. I don't think this most recent epidural did much good. Tonight's a busy night, too, with the start of college football and all the other stuff ... got 10 pages to do and I started some of it at least, but I want to get in early so I can get some of the other pages going.

Last night was a bear, too, with high school football. Did I mention I really hate high school football season? I wait all night and copy comes in from 10:30 to 11:30 ... mostly from 11 to 11:30. One guy is one of the slowest writers ... he's competing with our sports editor (our sports editor is THE slowest). This young man was an agate clerk and just recently was hired as a full-time writer; he had done some writing part time before. Nice young man, but just very slow. 

Anyway, enough *****ing. I have to work.

Have a good day.

Hello Eileen....sorry you can't stay home and relax. That is too bad that the epidural isn't helping this time. When your back hurts every thing hurts.

It sounds like you will have a busy night tonight. I wouldn't think slow writers would be the best people to choose for that kind of job!!!

I will pray that your night goes smoothly and with as little pain as possible. 

Love you....hugs.....connie d

Hi Eileen,

Well, I had every intention of obeying your "doctor's orders" for no babysitting, but then Chris called and said the AC had gone out at their house!  OMG.  You can't imagine how HOT it is here.  Triple digits and then some.  I told them to come spend the night with us.  Prolly tomorrow night, too.  I called but the AC people are out until Monday--IF we're lucky, since it's a holiday.  

So I'm cooking an easy dinner--beef stroganoff and English peas--and I'm making a pound cake.  The pound cake is for me.  I like to bake and I needed the distraction today.  

Butch is doing okay still.  He hasn't had any nausea yet.  He is complaining of a headache and a bad taste in his mouth.  Back pain is under control though.  We've made the first 24 hours.  Whew!

You light a fire under those writers' butts!  That's ridiculous.  Good luck tonight!

Good afternoon my sweet, Vickie!!!

I am glad you are both having a quiet day to yourselves. I hope that little bit of nausea is the worst Butch gets. Still sending prayers and good wishes to you both!! I love you, Vickie!!! I am always only a text away. 

I went to lunch and something didn't agree with me. We had ham, peas and mac and cheese. I can't eat much pasta so I just picked at that. My tummy is kind of off right now. The other menu choice was Italian Pork Chops....I CAN'T eat pork chops. I am staying close to my bathroom! 

Pam said she was coming over later to take me to a couple places. Usually by the time she is ready to go I am too tired. I am still so fatigued from the Fibro flare ups this week.  I am not sure it would be a good thing for me to go anywhere. 

My doctor decided I no longer need homemaking services...is she nuts!! I will be looking for a new doctor next week. First she wouldn't authorize my Boost to be paid for even they my insurance will do it.  Because she wants me to eat food instead. I have explained this to her many times. I DON'T eat in the morning!!! I never have!!! I get sick if I try to eat something solid. She said if I want Boost then I can pay for it myself. Yup...time to move on!!

Nothing else new with me. I wish someone would get a new puzzle started out in the lobby. Maybe I will just be the one to do it this time. 

Wishing you all a beautiful day!!!!  Judy...you hang in there!!!!

Much love and oodles of hugs to  all....connie d

HI...Hanging by a noose...lmaooooooooooo just kidding but ready to hang someone!!!!!!!!!! Will be posting ALOT soon as SHE leaves!!!!!!!!!!! can't say much because SHE is looking around.......

Got to go!!!!!!!!

Thoughts and Prayers for ALL that need them!!!!!!!!!

HUGSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Dear Vickie, wishing Butch a much better first week this chemo cycle. Last one was way too rough for him. His torn rotator cuff absolutely no help then and now. Wishing you both all the best....

hugs, jennifer

Thanks, Jenn!  So far so good.  We've made the first 24 hours without him being sick.  Crossing my fingers and praying for the next 48 to pass as well.

How are you feeling, sweetie?  Doing okay?

Yep, in slowmo this long weekend. Was told if dont get news by next midmonth, will redo all the mammos, 3D mammo movies and ultrasounds in 6 months, so think that means 5 months from now. Wi**** were sooner so I knew something definitive ASAP.

Can't make any plans, anything can happen anytime, plus havent been on vacation anywhere last 2 years because of all this ?$&@. My life is only at half speed.  Sorry for grouching, means am ok!

Hugs to all, everyone needs a hug ....
