First, be safe out there and swing some lizards for folks getting the rain and wind from Issac. Also, keep first responders in your prayers too--nurses, EMTs, police, Guardsmen, state patrolmen, etc. It may be too late but I'm hoping the Midwest gets some of the rain. 

What's on your to-do lists today?

I'm packing my cube for our office move across the highway and up the road. At times like this I really wish I wasn't a pack rat. {sigh}

Yep, I'm swinging for those folks.  The morning TV is showing politic stuff not hurricane so I'm thinking it wasn't as bad as it could have been.

work, drive a pony, meeting, zumba.  Busy day here.

Take the opportunity while packing to clean out, maybe.  It's hard but worth it.  I need to listen to myself.  I am horrible about that stuff.

 My family is from the Gulf Coast of Texas and most folks are well versed in dealing with hurricanes.  I'm sure it's the same in Louisianna too.  Besides the emotional toll, I would think its ok down there.  I'm swinging for'em though; it still sucks.  

Today I get my last treatment of IV steroids.  No tummy troubles, yay!  I start on neurontin today too.  .  I've heard it can be nasty so wish me luck.  Still no improvement but no degradation either.  but I have started to use a cane.  My good leg was hurting from overcompensating from my bad leg.  

Have a good one.

 I was watching the Weather Channel - and it is NOT good there.  Places that didn't get flooded from Katrina are getting flooded with Isaac - oh, and its EXACTLY 7 years since Katrina - to the day... eerie, huh?  They're having Levy problems again...

I went to the chiropractor this morning and may need to get a massage. My neck and back are like a brick.  Working... Have meetings.. boring ones from what I've heard.  Watching utility guys for the past week working in my backyard - yummmm.... Love to watch men work!  They're putting up new power poles - manually.  Interesting process.  

Been working on the house and getting a LOT of painting done.  I LOVE the color!  I'm having to have my nephew redo my kitchen - ****** me off I paid the contractor the WHOLE amount when he did **** poor job and I have to have someone else fix it.  Another thing about this - is always being on SOMEONE elses schedule, when I'm paying the bills.  Yep - I was real understanding before, but got real tired of being put off.  I fired the guy.  Ok - off my soapbox.  

Good news is - I had a TON of recyclables at the road and the garbage guys took it all!  Yea!!  I may need to call the company and thank them - small family owned company.

Swinging for them.  It was looking pretty rough this morning on The Weather Channel.  One of the older levy's was not holding up very good and homes were already flooded in one of the parishes.

I am a pack rat also.  I have junk everywhere.  I did clean out my bathroom junk while they were remodeling it and got rid of a lot of things we never used.  The renovation is complete.  I posted pictures on Facebook.  I love it.  We were going to do the other bath, but this one went way over budget so we will have to wait a few months.

Work today.  Hopefully winding down the end of the year stuff and audit info.  I need to go to the nursing home and visit during lunch today.  I have to travel tomorrow and can't do it then.

Hope everyone has a great day.

I'm swinging for them too! I have a lot of friends down there.

Just work today as usual. Tonight I'm meeting up with a group of girls that I get together with once a month. There are 3 of us who knew each other and we each invited a friend to join us that no one else knew and then some of them invited a friend. It's nice being with a group where we don't all work together, we have lots of other things to talk about. Tonight we are meeting at Bead World to try our creative talents at making jewelry. Should be fun!

I'm not a pack rat...I'm a purger! I want everything to have its place - if I don't use it then it goes to someone else who may. I try really hard to stick with...if I buy something new...somethings else has to go.  Drives my husband crazy ..... you would think after 31 years he would be used to it.

I'm a selective pack rat..But when you purge before/after each move and you've moved 15 times in almost 16 years of marriage, what you keep becomes very selective. Mostly stuff of true sentimental value.

 I will keep swinging too!

Today was a 5.5 mile hike in the Redwoods.  Now I need to do some Internet job searching.  Off to a friends house for dinner tonight.
