Good Friday Afternoon everyone....

Good afternoon everyone....I hope you are all having a great day!

I am going to be leaving on the bus before long. I have to take my prescription to Shopko Pharmacy. It is for Vicodin and they can no longer fax them. Now is when I really miss having a car!!

I spent most of the morning speaking to God. We had a lot to talk about today. 

I really don't have much else to say. I am feeling much better today and that is wonderful!! I hope we have the medication dose worked out well this time.

I will check back in later this afternoon. I wish you al a lovely day!

Remember "Acts of Kindness" when you can.

Prayers for all our wonderful OFF Family and their families too. Special prayers as needed.

Loads of love  and tons of hugs  to you all....connie d

Hello sweet Connie (and Susan--I see you liking posts all the time!) and my sistas!

Just a quick note while Caralee naps.

Connie, I am SO GLAD you are feeling better today!  Hooray!  Been a long time comin'!

I went for my weigh-in and my weekly LipoLean shot this morning.  Uh-oh!  Easter was not a good holiday for me.  Didn't gain, but didn't lose either.  Got to get back to my routine of shakes, fruit, and walking again.

Carrie is coming back from Waco today.  Hallelujah.  I had a better night last night with the baby than I did the night before, but my tail is still draggin'.  I did take a couple of PMs, and that helped me to fall back to sleep in between feedings, but she was still up three times last night.  And then I had to get up and go to my appointment, so that was tough.  But I did it and I will do it again.  I can do this.  I just have to accept that I'm going to feel sleepy and lousy some days.

I'm on stand-by to babysit the boys tonight.  Chris thinks she might get off by 5 p.m., but it's not for sure.  So I might have to go pick them up for her.  But I don't have to babysit tomorrow, which is a big blessing.  I'm tired and I have chores to do around here.  

Well, I need to go flip laundry and fold some clothes while the baby is napping.  And maybe catch a cat nap of my own if I'm lucky.

Love you all!

Hello Vickie....It feels good to b back....I have missed everyone!!!

I am glad my pain is better today too!!!  I just wish my hands were more cooperative some days. This crappy fatigue is another story! I just keep doing the best I can!!

Good for you that your weight didn't go up. I am sure  next week you will lose again.

I am sure Carrie will be very happy to see her little Caralee!!!  So how long do you plan to keep Caralee ? I can't remember what you said about it.

Have Christie and Mike given up the idea of one of them working another place?? Those little guys are sure growing fast.They are just so darn cute!!!

My homemaker was sick yesterday. I should do at least one load of clothes before the laundry is closed. Maybe tomorrow!!

Have a good night...get some sleep!!!!!

Love and lots of hugs....connie d

Hi Connie and Vickie and my OFF family to come:

Just drinking some water and paying bills before I have to go to work this afternoon. 

Ugh, money is tight and Gary and I are going on vacation for a four-day trip to Gatlinburg before I get paid again. The last electric bill was $233 ... how did we use that much electricity (other than electric heat is so much)? Our lodging will be free (Gary has a time share) and gas is cheap, but we will still be spending money on meals (we using eat out once a day, having breakfast in the condo and taking protein bars for lunch) and whatever attractions we want to see. Usually, the timeshare place gives Gary one attraction or something to get him to listen to their pitch for more points. So we'll see what we get free this time. And I don't plan on spending money on souvenirs since we've been to the Smokies twice before and I have no room for stuff. Other than wine ... we may hit a winery or two or three ... it's our thing. Still ... wish I had more money to spend. Oh well, it will still be good to get away.

Not much else happening. Work was OK yesterday, other than trying to do things at the training ... I understood what was going on, just had problems getting started. I have problems using the laptop with the trackpad and no mouse. And my thumb splint was bothering me. 

Connie, I know what you mean about having to pick up the vicodin prescription. It's a pain. They treat you like a drug addict. I know you don't overuse it. I don't either. Yet, we're all colored with the same brush of drug addict.

Vickie, I'm glad you and Caralee are getting along and getting used to each other. 

Well, I should get off the computer and get ready for work. I need to stop off at CVS for a couple of things. Have a good day.

Hello Eileen....paying bills...not fun!! I am sorry you are short on funds. A lot of us are in the same boat!! That electric bill is awful!! If it is that high now I can't imagine what winter bills must be!!!!  It is good that you at least don't need to pay for lodging. 

I can't use my laptop without a mouse. Maybe sometime I will try it. I am just so use to the mouse! I hope you get it working week for you soon.

I know....picking up Vicodin can be a hassle. I have gone to the same pharmacy for a long time. They know me and know about my pain. They never question it at all. It is the hassle of picking up the RX and getting it to the pharmacy that I hate. If I drove it wouldn't be so bad.

Sorry your are still in pain. Why do they have to wait so long to get that whatever it is  put in permanently? It sure seemed to help you a lot!! I know you don't see your doctor until the 7th. Are they dealing with insurance or something? I am confused and get things mixed up easily....sorry!!

I am so tired I need to go for now. Have a good night!!

Love and hugs to you....connie d

Hi Ladies,

I don't feel good today. I got sick on my evening snack. Then I kept having the same dream over and over but now I can't remember what it was about but it was over and over. I thought I felt fine this morning, after I ate my breakfast, my stomach was quesy again and I had diarrhea. So far the stomach gets better then feel ill again. Hopefully it's the 24 hour flu bug.

I did take my friend to the bank and grocery store  this morning. Then this afternoon we went to Goodwill,  I got a shirt.

I was supposed to watch my friend grandchildren but they were better to go to daycare. 

Everyone have a good day. Thoughts and prayers for everyone. 

Love and hugs,

Yvonne

Hello Yvonne...I am sorry you are so sick. I hope tomorrow is a better day. Hopefully it is only 24 hour bug!!

I hate when I have dreams over and over. As hard as I try I can't remember what it was about. It just made me really uncomfortable. 

Probably good that you didn't take care of those children. They don't need to get what you have. I hope you can get a good night's sleep tonight.

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