T.G.I.F.

Good Morning,

Quick check in.  First, an appointment with my hematologist's office, for my PT/INR.  Then, possibly to the county fair.  I'm not sure.  

In any event, I didn't get much done around here yesterday.  So, I have stuff to do here.

Love and hugs,

Trish

Yeah....it's Friday; it's Friday.....

Ladies,

After work, we are running down the mountain to pick up the kids and then back up here for a quick late dinner.   Tomorrow, I will be putting the final touches on the skirts and shorts and pants that I made for my granddaughter.  She thinks she can hem for me...we'll see.   I'm going to let her give it a try.  

I hope you all have a fantastic day.

Hello Jeannie...I am sure if you showed your granddaughter how to hem she will be doing a great job!! She is lucky to have a grandma that can make so many wonderful things for her!!

You have a good day and fun with the children!!

Much love and hugs...connie d

Good morning Trish...I hope you blood work turned out well.

Off to the County Fair...lucky you...ours was last week and of course I couldn't go.  I assume you will be going with Colleen and the grandchildren. Have a good time if you do go!!

Love and more hugs....connie d

Good morning everyone...I slept pretty well last night I only got up once to use the bathroom and take some tylenol. My headache is finally gone and my sinuses don't hurt!! My pain is about a 5 which is really good for me!!

I have been having more depression lately. I do know why, at least part of why. Tomorrow is the 4th anniversary of my best friend Chuck's death. We were friends since we were 15 years old. I was living in Iowa when he died in his sleep. A heart attack they say. He was a Marine and believe me he was fit and strong. He was a guard at our prison here. I couldn't get here for his funeral. I am still just crushed over that. He really was my best friend!! We shared everything!! We constantly picked on each other. Gosh I miss that. I can still see him with his head back and laughing at me. I used to be able to hear his voice but now I can't so well anymore. That makes me very sad. I miss Chuck. I would love to have just one more day with him. I loved him so much. If I am not here tomorrow you will know why. These anniversary's never seem to get any easier. I may just take a day for me.

I will stop in later and see who else posts. Have a good day!!

Prayers for our special OFF Family and their families. Special prayers for those in need.

Vickie, I hope you are having a better day today. I love you my friend and sister! 

Much love to all and hugs too....connie d

Connie,

I know it is so hard to let go of our friends. I am sure that your friend would understand you not being at his funeral.   He is still in your heart and that is what counts.  I remember when my mother died and I was so young and a few years after her death, I couldn't remember what her voice sounded like and it broke my heart...then a couple of years ago, I was visiting with my aunt, my mom's sister, and she said, sis, you sound just like your mom...I laughed and she said, you laugh like her, you sound like her, and you look just like her....it's the little things that bring comfort...you keep yourself busy today and work on getting your pain under control...I know you suffer so.

Hi Jeannie....thank you so much.  I knew this day was coming and I thought I would make it through okay. My heart is aching. I could use his hugs and funny stories right now. You are right. He is right here in my heart. We loved each other and always had good times together. I really miss that. They say time heals all wounds...I am not so sure about this....if it is true it will be a long way off.

I love you...hugs...connie d

Connie, I understand about losing a friend and not being about to go to the funeral. I went through the same thing with Margie. I miss her, too, but eventually life goes on and I had to live on without her. But I understand, everyone grieves differently. Take a day for yourself.

Hello Eileen....I remember when your friend died. You were feeling so sad because you couldn't go to her funeral.It was very hard on you.

Some people just mean so much more to us. I think that is what makes it so much harder. I think of him a lot. I have his picture by my bed. I talk to him often. I know one day it might be better but it isn't going to be this time. 

Thanks for caring....love and hugs...connie d

Hi Trish and my OFF family:

Everyone seems to have big plans for the weekend. Me, it's the same ol' stuff. Work, work, work. I was so tired yesterday, I skipped the Y today and slept in. Plus I kept waking up last night coughing. I have to clean up some stuff in the kitchen before Gary gets here. He knows I'm a slob, but I want it to be at least a little respectable.

Got this new litter mat from Amazon ... it's called the Black Hole. It catches the litter scatter underneath and then you can easily clean ... it's like a pouch. I put it out today. I'm hoping it will cut down on the scatter. 

Well, I'm just sitting here drinking coffee and watching "European Vacation" ... it followed "Vacation" on AMC. Funny movies ... always make me laugh. The originals are much better. 

Have a good day everyone.
