What's Happenin'

[houghchrst]

Hey all. Time to check in. Haven't been here mostly because I have not much to say except owie, owie, owie. My foot is a constant source of pain. I have discovered that if I take my pain pill in the morning with the rest of my meds that it takes the edge off of it. I also keep slippers or shoes on my feet and that makes walking......easier I guess. My entire foot hurts from walking a bit on the side of it. By evening I am barely able to walk. Never without pain. I see my doc finally tomorrow and will find out who he wants me to see. I hope as soon as possible.

Saw my psych and she put me back on the Klonopin at my request. I am hoping that it will stop the vivid, sweaty dreams I have been having. Not to mention screaming out in my sleep and taking a shot at the SO during the night. I started thinking that it all started after I went off of the Klonopin so hopefully it works.

Been trying to stay busy. Shortcake's room is done being painted so the floor is getting scrubbed today and as soon as that dries I can go over it with some lovely stuff to give it a shine then it will be time to move him in. Seems to be taking forever but I am only one woman. Trying to decide how to clean it. It is unsealed and I don't want to ruin it but there are some gnarly stains. Maybe a bit of steel wool and some vinegar and water or a bit of dish soap and water with a dry towel right behind that. Any suggestions?

Been getting down near freezing at night here so I haven't got much planted yet.

Been teaching myself Amigurumi. Successfully I might add.

CJ finally got hired by the company he was temping for. He is in his official first ninety days phase. Comes with a raise, benefits, tons of company perks for the entire family and we get our own personal assistant. Each family with the company gets a personal assistant available to the entire family for everything from setting up vacation plans for us to finding out any kind of information we need to know. Gonna call them up one day and ask what the price of gas in Tokyo is lol.

Besides that same ole, same ole. Can't get my stinkin' brain to stop niggling every little thing that is wrong. If I stop and think of the good things I find myself unconsciously dancing in place but I can't hold on to that long enough to make it through more than an hour.

Lor,Clouds is a guy. he lives in the same rain state as I do,WA.

Chris, we missed you! I'd use vinegar & water on the floor,just go with the wood grain since no finish.what is Amigurumi? good for CJ!! and wish I had some answer's to the foot issue. if it's not one thing it's another eh? you deserve a break!

I've enjoyed being outside past few days. got alot of yardwork done. back to rain today of course. just wish it would wash away all the tree pollen!

I have sweetpea's coming up. and lobelia is starting to bloom.

met new neighbor dog yesterday. had the doors open & along came a Corgi chasing my Freckle's through the house. neighbor came up the driveway & we got to chat. he's my eye doctor. haven't met the wife yet. I've always wanted a Corgi.he's only 8 mos old & is beautiful.

would be nice to hear from Leo! and Kat & everyone else that has been missing.

couldn't believe the news of a foot of snow back East! guess we are in for wacky weather forever now? we actually got up to 70 on Sat. & it felt sooooo good!

((((hugs to all))))Pati

Pati I know you enjoyed that 70 degrees. I hope you get plenty more nice days this year. And Christina, good for you on your Amigurumi. I had a dear aunt that tried to teach me how to do enough stuff but about the time I started catching onto it, my d**g*ed hands were dying so didn't make much out of it afterall. I know that foot has to hurt. I wish you had my hard boot with a rounded bottom so it would take pressure off your foot. That has to hurt plenty walking on it.

I too miss a lot of people, . I am in a spot to get kinda down myself and you know it must be true or I wouldn't admit up to it at all. At least that good ole sun is shining.

I miss Jo and know she is in pain. Dawnn, I bet that exhibit of Diannah was something to see. Glad you to to see it.
Tommorrow is chemo day if Donnas' blood is okay. We painted gourds for bird houses last week. I hope she can make it this week also but it is on same day as chemo. It is hard to stay cheerful kowing how bad she is but I do my best when I am around her it just catches up fast when she is gone.

Just stopping in, saying hi.

So much is going on I couldn't even start . Issues with family is getting very serious at times and I haven't felt like socializing. I'm handling the pressure well except for insomnia at times. Trying to stay calm in the middle of the tornado is the best way to describe it. Sorry but I don't even know what is going on with everyone here. I hope every one is well.

Hi everyone, we are all doing good, B is feeling great, her stress is gone and the pain went with it, hopefully forever. My oldest daughter is almost out of the first year of College and looking for a full time job for the summer, lets hope she gets something soon.

As for hubby and me we are good in general, looks like our issues with BOA and the house are going good we had applied thru Fanny Mae and they have been as bad as BOA, now BOA changed the Customer service rep that we where dealing with (who was a total a.....hole) and the new lady seems to have give us Good Luck, (lets pray), they took the Death Certificate off the requirements (somehow they had mark hubby as dead even when he has signed all documents). And the counselor from FAnny Mae called me to say that BOA has approved the modification (I will wait until I have proof in hand before I throw a BIG PARTY), but if true than finally things will start looking better.

Everything else seems to be going "Normal" for us and I hope stays that way. Sorry for staying away for so long but had been very busy, finally a few of our problems have cleared and hopefully the other one will follow on their steps. At least, the main one, MY Daughter sickness seems to have gone away with the wind. Stress is the trigger (which she confess to me this week, says that she was stress due to .... and when that was gone, so was her pain) now if I could only win the lottery and take away the $$ issues I will be the happiest person in the world sigh... dreams do not cost anything.

Have a good one everyone

Bella, gald everything seems to be coming together for you. That's great news.

We were suppose to go out last friday night with some friends but the husband had the flu. Come Saturday his son checked on him and he was having a stroke. He passed away on Saturday night. He leaves behind a wife and three children ages 11 to 19 years.

I just can't get pass it. I haven't left the house since Saturday. I'm pissed that I'm getting to the age where friends start passing away. He was one of my husbands childhood friends. I've know him for thirty five years.

Sorry for posting such ickey news.

(((hugs)))Pati

not much to say

[dawnmn]

Thought I would bring this back up. Since it's been a while that anyone has posted on here.

We are still in the bidding process of the sun porch. My husband talked the contractor in lowering his price by eight thousand dollars. We will see the final bid some time today. I hope it's going to be were DH wants it to be so we can do the project.

I'm going to the baseball game on Sunday. Not thrilled about it but DH received free tickets to the game. On Saturday I'm going to clean out my gardens since we won't be getting frost anymore. It's been raining off and on for weeks now. We are supposed to get sunshine this weekend and next.

[Buttons2]

weather is perfect here right now. then get into 80's on Sunday! my son & his new doggie will come over.

Housemate is planting the garden right now. wonder if my doggie will eat the peas?

went clothes shopping today-how depressing to see my FAT body in a full length mirror!

[Buttons2]

cat fight! strange cat came inside yesterday. my doggie learned not to mess with this cat. then my cat got into a fight with it. fur was mostly black/white so figure my cat won.

fun watching 3 deer chase each other last night.

contractor was here yesterday & scooped out for the cement to be added to the patio. might actually get a roof before winter I'm thinking. grrrrrr

my sister called me Sat. morning,hadn't talked to her in ages. she never bothered to ask how anyone here is doing. her world seems to be entirely about HER.

between my sis,son & mother I had phone conversation overload over the weekend.like my youngest son said: this family is very dysfunctional!

day 5 of beautiful sunshine here. sure helps my energy level!

hope everyone is having a good week so far & sure would be nice to read something besides what I write.

Dawn,sunporch might take awhile eh? hope the baseball game wasn't too boring.
