Friday .... I'm up too early

It's 4:50 a.m. and I've been awake since 2:30. Went to bed around midnight because I couldn't stay awake. My mind is always racing between Jim's problems and some issues my daughter is going through. And my "household" challenges. I can't wait for Spring - I want to rent a dumpster so I can get rid of the junk around here. Also, a local Boy Scout troop holds huge "yard sales" in the Spring and Summer and they have wonderful things at great prices. I'll be able to have them come and pick up some items from me, and then I'll be able to get some things from them. In the past, I've gotten a dining room set, a pull-out sofa, a recliner, appliances and clothes. Everything is clean and in excellent condition. ....... I'll take the Boy Scouts yard sales over Girl Scout cookies anytime. ......... And now that I've lost a lot of weight, I have the energy for yard sailing. .......... ...... As you can see, my Pad is holding its charge this morning, so I'm off to pay some bills.. ....... ......... BTW, I have stayed 99.8% on my program for 10 days; I've been journaling every day, and joining you Ladies has helped me a lot, so thank you all.

Good Morning Mary and OFF,

Mary, where I live there are tons of yard sales.  My daughter's mother-in-law is the queen of them.  She has a huge one every year.  I'm going to get rid of a bunch of stuff this spring at one of her's.  

Vickie, I'm glad Butch started doing better with the new pain meds.  I hope he's able to regain his strength for next week's chemo.

Connie, I hope you had another good night sleep.  It's amazing how much better I feel when I'm able to do that.

Today is my last full day here.  Mom and Eileen came over and played with Baby Jackson.  He's such a cutie.  He looks just like my niece, Erin, his Mom, did at that age.  He's a Mini-Me of her.  And, he's so pleasant, except at 4:30 a.m. when he's hungry.  Then, look out.  

I have a therapy session with my old therapist while I'm here.  Then, I go get groceries from Eileen for Sean.  

Tomorrow, I go to Pittsburgh to get Utley.  

Must scoot.

Love and Prayers,

Trish

Good morning Trish....I am happy to hear you will be heading home again soon. There is no place like home!!

I am glad your mom and sister came over to see baby, Jackson. It sounds like they enjoyed that time together.

It is nice that you get to see your past Therapist while you are there. I sure miss mine. I had two wonderful therapists....they both retired. The one I have now is okay, just not the same. 

You have safe travels these next couple days. How long do you have Jackson? I am sure Utley will be glad to see you!! 

Prayers, love and hugs to you....connie d

Good morning everyone.... I forgot to post my day with the post I sent to Mary. I don't know why I keep doing this!!

Anyway...as for me...I am better this morning....I slept pretty good last night. That always helps. Felt pretty crummy last night. I feel stronger again this morning. I think whatever it was is leaving me now. It has been a rough week!

I as usual have no plans for today other than going through my tax paperwork and making sure I have everything I need for Monday. I have some other paperwork I need to go through as well. 

Praying that Butch and Vickie can go home today. It is so much better to be home instead of at someone else's place. Praying too for their safe travels.

Wishing you all a lovely day!!

Prayers for our awesome OFF Family and their families.

Loads of love and bunches of hugs....connie d

Good morning Mary...nice to see you start the thread this morning. It doesn't sound like you had a very good night's sleep last night. I hate it when so much runs through our head when we are trying to sleep. 

That Boy Scout Yard Sale sounds wonderful. I think you will be able to give them some things and get a few deals as well. I wish they had something like that here.

I am so proud of you!!! You are really sticking with your weigh loss program. Good for you!!! 

We are all so fortunate to have this group. We all help each other more then we realize sometimes.

Love and more hugs....connie d

 

Evening OFF family!!!

I AM BEAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My 8AM appointment never showed up til 9AM so getting up earlier than usual did no good except make me angry....LOL Any how got my NEW tenant all signed sealed and ready to move in!!!! WOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!! Waiting for my next new tenant to call and let me know WHAT DAY she is coming to sign her lease to move in. Had another call for one to come look at apartment Monday sometime. Told her we are expecting huge storm this weekend so no need to come out in that at all!!!! She is in a nursing home right now...She said ok...she would send her sister to look at it then. OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We are expecting 6-10 inches of ****ty snow again!!!!!!!! GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR So anyhow had tenant Bingo today also...made the goulash last night...good thing!!! Was way to busy today to make it!!! Talked to boss about the theft in other club house. She is going to send a letter out to tenants first and we are to lock things up in closet and go from there...and if thefts continue then we will lock it up!! So for right now we can't lock it up....YET!!!!!!!! Sighs......

Heard a funny...but not really...but who it happened to IS...little not follow the rules here took sugar plum to eye dr in the blowing and drifting snow the other day...car went off the road...they were stuck for 4 hours waiting to be pulled out..."mr he will NOT drive in bad conditions" DID...see how she has turned him around??? sad but still funny...sorry. Serves them BOTH right.

Went to Chiro doc got adjusted see if the Charlie horses can stop again...dr Joe did a wrong crack the other day and they are back...so hopefully he did it right today and they don't happen tonight!!!! Wait and see I guess. He asked me if my potassium was low...was I drinking enough water...etc...I told him I was good on everything far as I knew...he said ok. Said Dr Matt should take over...well Dr Matt isn't here...so fix me so I do not Charlie horse at night!!! He said hope this helps...so tonight I will know...LOL

Well supper is ready time to go...Rick's mouth is sore for the last time...he had the DEEP cleaning of his teeth...OUCH!!!!!!!! So I told him scrub them good now and you will never go through that ever again!!! He said you got that right because I am NEVER going back to dentist again!!! I said BS!!!!!!!!!!!! He don't know me very well!!! LOL

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

HUGSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Hi Judy....You sure had a whirlwind of a day!! Good grief!! Why would anyone send their family to come out and look at an apartment in a storm. She must want out of the nursing home bad. Something doesn't sound right.

As for the one that was an hour late for her appointment, I hope she had a good excuse for being late. I would have said I am all booked today and don't work weekends. We can reschedule on Monday!! 

6-10 more inches of snow...WOW....that is a lot again. You guys are getting nailed!

The goofballs ended up in the ditch...they a have plenty of time to sit and wait!!! LMAO!!!!! 

I hope the Chiro adjustment helped so you don't have charlie horses again tonight. They hurt like hell!!

Poor Rick, now he knows why he needs to see a dentist at least once a year. I know you will be on him to get that done. I don't understand why people hate dentists so much. 

What got taken at the clubhouse this time? I don't remember hearing about that. 

I hope you can relax tonight and get some much needed sleep.

Love and many hugs to you....connie d

 

Connie someone took the Kitchen aid mixer and all the parts...a good $200 plus!!!!!!!! It was there at Christmas yet so not sure WHEN they took it!!! And not sure WHO did take it!!! Tenant? Aid? Someone off the street??? We just do not know!!!

New tenant had to wait til bank opened because I do NOT take cash.....she had to work today also...and this weekend and I am NOT working weekend!!!!!! NO WAY!!!!!!!! She wants to get moved in before this storm hits...

OMG we are still LMAO at them sitting in the snow bank for 4 hours!!! Shame on us huh?? Couldn't have happened to a nicer couple!!!! ROFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rick is feeling a LITTLE better but I have no clue WHY he hates dentists...probably his mothers fault....

OK time to go lock up again...supposed to hit -10  tonight...BRRRRRRRRRRR

HUGSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Judy...yes I am still giggling about the goofballs!!!! LMAO!!!!

A Kitchaid mixer...wow they are more like $300...I would definitely keep things like that locked up. Who knows what else is missing. Damn stupid people!! 

I don't envy you the lousy weekend you are going to have. I hope it ends up missing you!!!

Keep warm...love and hugs to you.....connie d

Connie this was an older model but still I would say atleast worth $200.00!!!

This storm is NOT going to miss us at all!!! GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR still saying 8-10 inches!! Have I ever told you that I HATE winter????????? ROFLMAOOOOOOOOOOO

HUGSSSSSSSSSSS
