Nice heating pad and beautiful and cozy cat

I am leaving for Vegas 2/9 and hope my trip is as fun as yours looked. Some of our plans are to eat at Gordon Ramsey's Hells Kitchen, a helicopter tour of the Grand Canyon with a landing in the canyon and a Champaine lunch on the ground, a SUV trip to Hoover Dam and Lake Mead, and a few shows.
I used to fly four times a week and did that for several years. I get on a plane, get situated an usually fall asleep during the flight. I do not want to be woken up for food or snacks. I do put some crackers in my purse in case I wake up hungry.
My favorite trips are when the leaves are turning over Pennsylvania in the autumn. The colors are fantastic in the hills and mountains. Millions of people fly safely everyday. When there is plane crash, people get scared, but it is really extremely rare.
I do feel bad for the people in the latest crash and do not think they will ever know what really happened that night.
It is up to 40 and the snow is melting. I can see the ground for the first time in about a month. I know Spring is still a ways from here, but it gives us hope.

I bought a heated mattress pad a few years ago and use it year round. Helps with sore back, legs, and feet.

The last time I did physical therapy I ended up in so much pain I could not walk. I learned the hard way that if it hurting you have to complain not just keep trying to work through the discomfort. The exercises that seem easy can sometimes cause a lot of pain. I try to do the right thing and stay as mobile and flexile as possible but have found out that the theraphy is not always right for me.

Fluid fight made me laugh. I imagined you and your mom filling up water balloons for your fight.

I have never been able to eat eggs after weight loss surgery. They are just too filling for me.

When I was younger I went to bed at 10:00 and slept until 6:00 AM almost every night. After I retired I started staying up until 4:00 AM and then sleeping until noon. Then I started a job that was an afternoon shift from 3:00 PM until midnight. I adjusted sleeping to those hours when I was not working.
When the getting up to pee started, that interrupped sleep every night. Now I sleep about three or four hours and then get up for a while and eat something, then sleep another few hours. If I don't sleep at night, I end up napping in the afternoons.
Sleeping eight hours is really something that we adapted to due to the industrial revolution and our peasant ancesters slept when I was dark and got up to take care of their animals in the early morning.

My only regret is waiting so long and trying for so long to do it without surgery.

I was scheduled for a test this summer that involved traveling over 50 miles to the hospital and then when I got there they told me the wrong test had been ordered and they sent me home. I do respect the person doing the test for realizing that they should not do it on me, but it is a bit of a flawed system where they don't always do their homework before ordering tests.

My best friend and I both had weight loss surgery years ago. We go out to eat together and fill up so quickly it is comical. Lots of wasted food that we take home and I know a lot of mine goes in the garbabge.

I have a sister who is always coming up with the worst possible diagnosis and I have seen her argue with the doctors when they tell her that is not what it is. Just their personality. I am so glad you mom does not have congestive heart failure and hope the heparin works for her.
I am 76, don't work, live alone, and just take care of my cat. I have help with everything. It bothers me sometimes that I do need help but I have accepted it. I am feeling angry hearing everything that your mom is putting up with.
She has wor ked hard all her life, I am sure, and should not be putting up with that crap. I am behind you 100% stepping in and getting them to make life as easy as possible for your mom.
I wonder if there are not a lot of things that they could do and just are cautious due to malpractice fears. I also know doctors often have a certain attitude that they know it all and nobody really knows it all. I feel most confident when they consult other specialists rather than making all decisions for themselves.
I went through about nine years with my husband's cancer and sometimes had to really fight with the insurance company about treatment options. They did finally assign me a person who coordinated everything for me but it was a nightmare for a while and cost did come into play. I researched on my own and argued when I needed to.
Good job looking after your mom.

One of my favorite things to do is leave Cleveland airport with tons of snow and arrive in Orlando sunshine a few hours later. It really reminds me that winter is going to end. You and Marilyn enjoy your Florida time.

My husband loved football and we had four TVs going in different parts of the house all the time, partly because he did not want to miss a play when in a different room. Every Sunday was a football party and Superbowl Sunday was a special party.
I don't think I have watched a game since he passed away. I paid attention for a while but then completely lost interest.

I am thinking of Hawaii in May. When are you planning to go?
I am still flexible and would love if we could meet up there.

For 10 million dollars, I would live on a cruise ship for the rest of my life as long as I was allowed to bring my cat. Life seems pretty boring today. Most of my friends are staying inside and out the cold, ice, and snow.
Jen, it is so frustrating when safety is ignored and people do not take pride in their work. One year we had a executive who took the attitude that God put the snow there and God can take it away. They stopped cleaning the parking lots except for very minimum maintenance and we had some accidents with cars and with people falling.
I was a lot younger then and did not get hurt but knew people who did. One morning I came to work early and slipped on a patch of oil on the floor in the factory. They did not come to clean it up until three other people fell at the same place. Very frustrating and hard to accept when you are a person who takes pride in your work.

Have you considered opening a same as cash credit card and putting your current credit card balances on that. I have seen some with Tmonths of interest free payments. You might be able to get your monthly expenses down with no interest terms.

The birds are singing today and the squirrels are running around. They know warmer weather is coming.

I tend to get dehydrated easily and try to always have ice water close to me. Sometimes in hot weather I also increase salt and salty foods. Not having clean drinking water would be terrible and I know there are places in the world where that is a reality of life.

It is -g6 here right now, but the sun is shining. A dragon does sound like a fun housepet. Not sure if my cat would approve. Findley probably would not like dragons either.

It is up to 1 degree here now but going down to -11 today. I could live anywhere I wanted and have considered many places. In the end I have stayed in the small town where I was born because that is where my friends and and family are. I love to visit beautiful places but find people are what matter long term.

Nothing embarrasses me like getting a black eye. Mine have been from accidents with doorknobs. Hope you heal quickly.

I got away with diner for breakfast when my stomach was younger and stronger. I would not even try now with the exception of possibly left over steak. I have to pick breakfast foods that are pretty bland early in the morning.
I got chicken noodle soup from Panera this weekend and it is surprisingly good. I will have that for lunch today and dinner is still up in the air. Something warm for sure.

We have some really cold weather on the way. I noticed -12 for Tuesday. Good weather to stay inside if you don't have to go out. My husband did not like vacations and I went with others and he stayed home a lot. He just did not do well in new situations and got nervous if he made a wrong turn or was in a place where he did not know everyone and everything. He did used to say that the minute people go back from vacation they started planning their next one. I love adventure and doing new things. And I do start working on the next vacation as soon as I get home from one.
