Happy Labor Day

Vickie, found this online about trazadone:

Common trazodone side effects may include:

• drowsiness, dizziness;

• vision changes;

• constipation; or

• dry mouth, altered sense of taste.

So it's to be expected. If you're constipated, try a stool softener. Works wonders. Take one at night before bed.

Take the cleaning one day at a time. It is not easy. And you know Carrie is a hot bed of hormones right now. 

Hello my sweet sister, Vickie!!

I am so sad to hear you didn't sleep again last night. I am happy you will contact your doctor tomorrow.  I remember the first time I took Trazadone, it totally knocked me out! Obviously this isn't a good one for you. Trazadone can cause constipation. 

We had crazy weather here last evening/night. Trained so hard and it was really noisy. A friend of mine asked me today if I have ever seen red lightening. She lives in Iowa near my daughter. I can honestly say I haven't. Has anyone here?? I think I will look it up on the computer later.

I am so glad Carrie is there to help you. If nothing else to just support each other, laugh and cry together!! My heart is just breaking for you and Carrie. 

More prayers on the way. You know how much I care. I am still right here if you need to vent or whatever. I love you!!!!! 

More love and oodles of hugs.....connie d 

Connie Rick said he has seen ORANGE lightening when he was in Iowa before...weird huh?

HUGSSSSS

Good morning Jeannie and OFF-

Jeannie the prospective house sounds wonderful.  And your husband sounds like a pip!  I loved the dialog about breaking the pyrex too funny.  Typical example of Men are from Mars and Women are from Venus.

Trish hope you enjoy the cookout at Colleens.  I agree the bedroom can be cleaned later.

Vickie definately call the doctor tomorrow about the sleep meds.  Sorry you had a fight with Carrie but expected due to your sleep deprivation and her hormones.  It will get better.  I didn't realize that you had so much stuff still in the Lake house.  Baby steps, baby steps.  There is no major rush to clean it out.

I packed my cookbooks this morning.  Don't know why I keep them as I rarely use a cookbook.  I look it up on line.  But they're packed and ready to go.  Can't deal with culling them at the moment.

I've been chatting daily with my friend who is on fire duty in Idaho.  The weather has turned cold i.e., lows in the forties at night.  They had some rain and some snow.  That helped and hurt.  Rain the choppers can't fly and dump retardent or water.  She's having a good time as this is the first time she's been out on a wildfire in four years.  There have been reports of bears charging the fire fighters.  They have my greatest admiration.

Meanwhile back at the ranch, the Refuge at home has a wildlire caused by lightning strike.  So far it's burned 15K acres of marsh.  They will let it burn as it helps the marsh and as long as it doesn't threaten a pipeline or structure they let it run.  They have helicopters up in the air checking the fire.  So the fire crews at home are happy as they get over time and get to play with fire.  Burn babies is what I call them.

Well that's all from Maine at the moment.  Tri****hreatened my lawn mower yesterday because it didn't want to start.  The threat worked and I got the lawn mowed.  Killed a leopard frog in the process it didn't get out of the way fast enough and I didn't see it until it was too late.

Thoughts going out to the rest of you.

Hello Cindi....I pray every day for those firefighters In Idaho and your friend included. They are such wonderful men and women and we owe them a lot! They but themselves in danger just for us. Those fires move so fast!! GOD BLESS THE ALL!!!

I am glad you got your mower running thanks to Trish'a advice!

I hope you enjoy the rest of your day!!

Lots of love and prayers on the way.....connie d

Afternoon OFF family...Happy Labor Day to you all!!!

Well it IS a Holiday and the phone has been ringing with tenants...SIGHS....I have my rent check ready...Yeah so? Its a holiday tomorrow will get it from you...oh its a holiday? YES!!!!!  Office is CLOSED. GOODBYE!

Rick went to the hardware...tenant called to just TALK to them...OMG wanted to tell them terminix killed her sisters cat!!!! Ummm ever think all those fleas killed it???? HELLO!!!!!!! So now they are accusing terminix of that. Sweet. And I bet my bottom dollar that woman is still running around with her head full of fleas yet!!!!!! SIGHS..........

Rick's mom called this morning. Aunt Peggy fell again. Has some bleeding they can't stop. Also found out she has to have open heart surgery this month. Guess she really is in bad shape.

Incase you missed my answer to Connie yesterday I did talk to my mom and sister. Mom had her test canceled because the machine was broke down. Rescheduled for next week. Mom is upset with having to get ready for this test and then have it canceled. Being 94 I don't blame her. Now for my sister...this new stent seems to be working great and has to be in the nursing home until the antibiotics are done. Seems the nursing home forgets to give them to her she said...also she said they keep her medicated...nice!! NOT!!! Also she said her doctor has a hard time finding her...not good. I also told her I had enough of her kids not keeping mom informed of her well being also. And where she is at also!! I am tired of having to embarrass them on FB to get them to let people know where she was at or what was going on!!! She said she was keeping track of her minutes and not going to argue about her kids not doing anything. FINE. She knows how they are...good for nothing!!! So we said I love you and praying for you and good bye.

Got the ewwww Michigan hat made last night. Need to get the birthday card and something to mail it out in and send it off tomorrow. Going to get something OHIO STATE to stick in there as well!!! LMAOOOOOOO

Well going to go play my games and maybe start drinking....lol not!!!!

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

HUGSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Judy - I think you need to take the approach my doctor's office takes.  They have a message machine that says- "The office is closed now, if this is an emergency call 911".  You can add - If it's not an emergency, please leave a message and I'll return it the next working day.

Glad you finished that maize and blue monstrosity.  I think an OSU tidbit would be appropriate.

Cindi

Hello Judy....Thanks for the reminder of the lady with fleas...I itched for days after that!!! I am going to try to not think about it now!! 

Tenants call Rick at the Hardware Store now? Good grief...it is his day off....leave him alone people!! Same for you...they know everything is close on Labor Day why would your office be closed.

Yes, I did read your reply and I did send a reply back. I am so happy your sister is getting better. And glad your mom finally got told about Bonnie. I hope your mom's test can be done soon.

Well now you know how Bonnie feels about her kids. Everyone seems to be in agreement that her kids are in the wrong!!

Sorry Rick's Aunt Peggy fell again. I hope they can get the bleeding to stop soon. Sorry she will need heart surgery as well.  I will be sending prayers for her.

LOL...puttng something Ohio in the box will give your grandson a good laugh ....and you too!!

Need to go for now...movie time. No FEAR the Walking Dead tonight  . Just reruns. I suppose they think most people will be gone this weekend. 

Have a good night...love you...hugs....connie d 

Connie...NOOOOOOO she called the hardware to talk to THEM...Rick just happened to be there when she called them...lol

HUGSSSSSSSS

Hi Jeannie and my OFF family:

No holiday for me; I'll be working. But the good news is I get holiday pay. At least I don't hurt so much right now. But it's early. 

I've gotten three hits on my ad for the washer/dryer. I thought the one guy was going to come over this morning. I'm all dressed and waiting for him ... no call. I even texted him and said I'm awake and he can come over. He sounded desperate. I'm desperate (although I didn't say that in my ad). We should make a good match. 

Last night was all right at work, other than late happenings (NASCAR) that didn't come in on time and we eventually had to give up on. 

Got to go brown some ground beef I took out of the freezer. Wanted to make something with it and didn't have time. So now I have to brown it and put it back in the freezer. 

I'm tired and I slept well. I had a big cup of coffee and I want to go back to sleep. I guess it's the byproduct of six days in a row and the crazy schedule I've had the past two weeks. Plus whatever else is going on in my body. 

Well, I need more coffee. Have a good day.
