Monday, my Friday
I don't usually get to start these anymore. I didn't sleep well at all last night. I kept waking up and finally at 7:30 a.m. I got up. I wound up taking a 15-minute nap. My right shoulder hurts. Just a new pain for the day.
I have to go in early today for a mandatory training session on our new system of logging our hours of work. But it's my Friday so at least I can look forward to my weekend.
Have a good day.
Hello Eileen....nice chatting in the wee hours of the morning!!
I slept lousy too! We will both need naps. Sorry about your shoulder pain. I am glad this is your Friday. You need a break!!
As for me....... Eileen....you already know. For those of you that didn't know...YES...I was in so much pain last night I went to bed at 6:30 PM. At 12:30 AM I had nightmares and I fell out of bed. Hit my head really hard on my nightstand, landed on my tailbone, then sprawled on the floor. I stayed there for awhile. This poor body can't handle things like this. I can't ever remember falling out of a bed before. I made myself stay awake until about 4:00-4:30. I was lightheaded. I slept again until 8:00 -8:30. Whopping headache today and my tailbone and back hurt!! I have a queen size bed there was no reason for that to happen.
I am not getting my Christmas cards done. Maybe later a can try a few if my headache gets better. This is for absolutely sure. Sorry but I won't be sending cards after this year. The pain and stress of it is just too much for me. You all know how much I care and love each of you. I want to thank my Santa here that sent me cards and stamps to do them this year. The thought was really wonderful. I hope you understand why I can't do them anymore.
My cousin sent me a Santa that holds candy canes. It is really cute!! He makes them and they sell like crazy!! He knows I love snowmen!!!
I want to thank all of you that have sent me cards and other special things. You are so kind and thoughtful. You are the greatest family ever!!! I wish I could buy everyone something special!!! My $$ won't cover that. I love you all!!
Prayers for our special OFF Family and their families. Special prayers for those in need.
Have a great night....loads of love and hugs to all....connie d
Hey Eileen and Ladies,
Well, we went to the church for my granddaughter's play, and she sang beautifully. She sang Silent Night and didn't waiver a note...she got a standing ovation for that. Then she had a solo for her part of Mary and then Joseph and her sang together. Then, which I didn't know about, she and a group of girls sang a song and they did such a wonderful job. At the end, she came running off the stage and said, Nana, could you tell I was nervous?
Of course, my crazy assed daughter was at her finest...I took the kids to the car and she was headed to her car and DH said she came over said that she doesn't appreciate us buying the kids Christmas without consulting her and he said, shut up...we spend our money on the kids the way we want and if you don't like tough **** and he came to the car. When we dropped the kids off, he told me what he said and I said, wow and she didn't start screaming and he said, nope...she was in shock...then he added, I'm tired of her **** and I am not walking on egg shells around her again. She got so pissed because we bought the kids new laptops and we got Mathew a small flat screen TV and we got Baby Girl an iPod touch, which plays music and has internet reception. Everything we bought for the kids they asked for and, of course, the older boy we give money to. She hates that we don't give her money and let her buy for the kids but when we did that in the past, she spent the money on drugs and took only a little of it and bought them cheap crap so we had to go on Christmas eve and buy them toys because we saw what she had bought them and then she cried and said she had paid bills with the money, which we knew was a lie. So, we no longer give her money...we buy them what we want.
So my cousin sent me a huge box of avocados and today I ate two wonderfully ripe avocados that were perfect. I added a little tomato on it and some diced onions and it was lunch.
Tonight, DH and I went to a fancy restaurant. We have done more parties than I care to think about and we were on our way home and he said, let's go eat and I said, where and he said Mermaids and I said, I'm just not dressed and he said let's go get dressed so we ran home, dressed up, and went to Mermaids...no reservation and we got a table by the fireplace and my dean of our college was there and he sent us over a bottle of wine...neither DH or I drink, but we did have some of that delicious wine....LOL...how do you say no to your boss. I am glad he left before we did because he would have seen that we nursed that first glass all night...but we did bring the bottle home and I plan to use it to cook some with over the next few days...maybe have another drink or two.
Judy, you are so lucky to get such a bonus but you do deserve it with all the crap you put up with...my husband gets a bonus and it's dependent upon the sales that the entire company makes....one year it was substantial but we don't know about this year.
Connie, did you at least call your doctor? Girl, falling on your head is nothing to dismiss...you need to call your doctor and your family and let them know.
Well, I am going to go for another sip of that wine and maybe hit the sack...it is cold, rainy, and windy here and my cats are trying to get me to go to bed so I can keep them warm...they have me trained so well....
Hi Jeannie.....for the life of me I cannot find your address. Can you please PM me on Facebook or here on OFF. Thanks sweetie. I promise I will not give it away without your permission!!
My headache is better.....I took a Vicodin and a Flexeril .....that did the trick!! I have been icing my head too.
I contacted my daughters right away this morning. They reminded me that I have a life alert for a reason. I should have gone in.
Love you much as always....HUGS....connie d
Hi Eileen and my sistas,
Just so you know, Karma is a real BEEEE. I am certainly being punished for my role in the debacle with Chris last weekend. I cannot find my car keys.
Y'all remember two weeks ago I was on my way to Waco and I had to stop and buy all new tires? Well, ever since then I haven't been able to find my smart key. I didn't realize it at first, but then I noticed that I couldn't lock my car. Well that's because the car won't lock if the keys are in it. Okay. I knew they were there. But there was so much going on, and then it was raining for several days, and I just really hadn't had time to search for them.
Well, I did have time this morning and everything went straight to hell. Can't find the smart key anywhere in the car OR my purse and now the damn car won't start. It's been starting just fine for two weeks, and now today . . . nothing! The red KEY light is on. Which means either the key battery is low or the key is not there. There's nothing I can do about either. I have searched high and low for Butch's smart key to the car, but I can't find it either. I am so screwed.
So I called the Mazda dealership, and I have to have my car towed there for them to program me a new one. Excuse me. A new TWO, because they can't just program one Smart Key. They're required to program two.
I've been trying to call the mobile locksmith they recommended, but he doesn't answer his phone and--of all the dumb things--he doesn't have voice mail!!! I can't even leave him a message to call me back. I feel like I've fallen into one of Dante's seven levels of hell.
So Mom and I are basically grounded here until I figure this **** out. The only person I could call for a ride is Christie, and I KNOW better than to do that. She's still not talking to me. I guess Mom and I will be okay for a couple of days as far as groceries go. I don't really need a ride anywhere. It just bugs the heck out of me because I KNOW that damn key is somewhere in the car!
Well, that's all my news for the day. I'm going to try and calm down a bit and keep calling the key pro guy until I get through to him.
Hope everyone else is doing well. Eileen, enjoy your weekend!
Love you all.
Vickie
