What's Happenin' (Part 2)

[dawnmn]

Jeannie, what cute dogs!!!!

Jingles, my puppy has really helped me with my depression. He's never sad. I wish that I could have a Kitten but hubby can't have them.

I'm leaving for our yearly vegas trip in a little while. My husband has meetings down there. I wish it was somewhere elxe but the big fashion show is going on down there during that time and he has to go to that. I'll be a lone most of the time. I figure I'll work out in the gym.

Like, I said my puppy has been keeping my depression at bay. I'm not a lone anymore talking to myself. He is a goldendoole and very active. He's now 8 months. That time sure went fast.

The weather has been great with temps in the 50s. No snow but we are suppose to get a storm on friday. The cold is returning also. Oh well it was nice while it lasted.

I hope everyone is doing great. The winter is a hard time.

I've decided to go off my meds in July. I can't wait. I feel so unemotional person. My father in law pasted and just like my mom pasting I didn't cry. I don't even feel any excitemet with my daughter having another baby.

I'm so glad I checked here. Clouds I laughed right out loud when your post was the first thing I read. It was the exact same thing I was thinking as I was scrolling the forums listings. I have spent most of my time in tears. So I got a good laugh.

I am so depressed and I know it is not the meds and we are trying to rectify the situation but the powers that be seem to be pushing back. I haven't seen my therapist in too long. Canceling doc appts. Bout ready to withdraw shortcake from school. Missed a funeral today because I am a weeping mass and have had 6 funerals in the last year. Well actually 4 funerals 1 memorial that I held and one whose sisters, those bitches had a cremation then wouldn't let us know when the memorial was. I feel bad, I didn't even know the man but his wife is an acquaintance/friend I guess. I had totally planned on going until I woke up a weeping mass.

Dawn having a pet really lightens one's life. Hey, studies show lol. My two boys get me up, albeit too early, in the morning or I would just be there in bed all day. They give great joy. Total unconditional love. I hope you find some fun things to fill your extra time.

Jeannie glad you had a great time. Great shot of the furbabies. I can't wait to see pics of your garden. I'm not even going to bother this year. I have some perennials so I will stick with them. Paîn is just too bad.

My pain has reached new levels. The neurontin and ibuprofen are working, I think. If they are working then I would hate to see what things would be like without them. I am usually fluctuating from a 7 to a 9. I save the pain meds for the 10s. Seems stupid right. At a 10 one usually goes to the hospital or ER clinic lol. I have once and they gave me a shot and a small scrip for 10 percs but I am afraid to go again. don't want them labeling me as drug seeking. My doc office cannot even give me a shot for pain. Something to do with it being a state run clinic and they have their own pm doc within their many clinics. Which I no longer can go to because I missed too many appts, two times I rescheduled and they don't give you a third. Wish they would have given me that info last time I cancelled.

went back to regular writing as it seemed no one cared and plus it made my post take up a whole page and I would be afraid to read that lol.

weather here has been scary. I don't know what happened to winter. We didn't really have one unless we get like 2 feet of snow at once to make up for all the snow we didn't get. I hope my flowering bushes aren't affected by this funky weather.

oh cherry on top of my load of situational misery I find out yesterday that my ex Cj has found a house. He and another woman are moving in together. Shortcake has known and said nothing to me and Cj assumed shortcake told me. Is it my business? I shouldn't care but thinking of it makes me cry. I knew the time would come and I will be my usual gracious self no matter how I feel about it. It's just hard knowing he found somebody and I will probably be single the rest of my life. By choice mostly but who the hell wants to be with somebody who is a broken down mess.


Okay enough of more ranting. Julia please come back to us. And so many others. Sad.

OK ~ Clouds ... where are you? Whatcha' doing? We sure would like to hear from you.

Hey all. Stood in front of the living room window after opening the shutters this morning and within seconds see a pair of blue jays, Harry the resident Cardinal, and a big fat Robin on the porch rail. I guess spring is here. My forsythia looks like it is wanting to start blooming already.

Okay, let me explain about Harry the Cardinal. This poor guy has been so in love with himself I wonder if he ever finds a mate. He practically lives on the mirrors of our cars. He of course poops on the driver side doors. He has been known to attempt the occasional dive bomb but has not gotten anyone. I feel bad for the poor guy. There is a tree right next to the driveway and I thought of building him a bird house out there but he seems to have a home he goes to. I'm sure he does.

don't Know if I mentioned but my gazebo died. The weather took it out last fall, rust and the wind. Guess they didn't make it to be outside lol. Actually I'm heartbroken but maybe I will get to put what I really want out there someday. I have a rock garden that needs to be put back together. I put down heavy duty weed cloth to help with the weeds that were coming up in it. Just didn't make it to getting them rocks back in too much bending over so it will probably take me a week to get them back in.

Had my first colonoscopy couple days ago. All clear except for one little diverticulitis. Said come back in ten years. No problem I can go another 10 years without having to drink that crap. It's horrendous no wonder shortcake hates it so bad.

Well I just felt like checking in. So hi all and have a great day.

hey everyone ,

sorry i haven't been around. i have been battling an upper respiratory tract infection since last wednesday. i can feel it working it's way from my throat down to my lungs. mostly i have a deep cough, now, although i had a fierce sore throat for 3 days ar the beginning. i have been taking mucinex dm every morning and night and rubbing my neck and chest with this ointment that's like vick's vaporub, except it's got stuff like lavender and other plants in it. it still has the camphor and eucalyptus oil, so it soothes my throat. i have been sleeping well, but mostly on my back with the pillows raised so drainage goes down. i'm feeling about 75% today. hopefully i'll feel completely well by friday.

chris, i have to get a colonoscopy every 5 years because of colon cancer in my grandma and mom. last time, they changed the protocol for prep. they didn't have that jug of liquid, just miralax and then dulcolax, although you were supposed to drink lots of water. when they had the jug of water, i would buy lemon flavored "crystal" powdered drink mix. it has sucralose in it, which i don't like, but there is a new brand with stevia, i see. several packets are needed to give that stuff any decent flavor.

clouds, it was warm here in michigan during february and now we have snow and below freezing temps in march. go figure. i've been sleeping a lot lately and watching junk tv, too. can't wait for some real warm weather.

i got my new night time bite guard, jingle. i love this model. it's about and inch to inch and a half long and it snaps over your top front teeth. when you bite, your teeth go in this groove, but there is a little flange sticking out from it that kind of keeps your mouth semi-open so it prevents you from grinding sometimes. it is rigid hard plastic and clear, so it can be worn in the daytime, although you can't eat with it on. it's called an "NTI". i know you said you go through a lot of biteguards. maybe talk to your dentist and see if he/she is familiar with this biteguard. it seems almost indestructible. i can empathize with the grinding during the day. sometimes with my tics, i get an urge to bite down on my back teeth. i try and switch it to another tic. sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

i hope you're all doing as well as can be.

thank you for sharing and caring,
jeannie

Jeannie, Joy, LIL Queenie, Jingle, Clouds Z, I'm sure there are more, just can't remember the names. I still love all of you! Jo6

Julia it is such a joy to hear from you. So glad. I wish we could just call each other up & talk for hours.. But I know we both would run out of breath. Just knowing you are at least able to log on and let us know is awesome. Sure wish we were close enough to visit & see each other. Much love to you and yours.

Hi Jo6, hi Joy, hi Rose ... thanks for writing! What a joy to check in here and see posts!
All goes fairly well here ... my cats are doing great :) My back seems to be getting worse (but still doing great compared to most people) and I can't get in to see my pain doctor until later in April and I already know I can't have those precious shots because they didn't work last time. I have no idea what will be the answer.
I hope everyone here is doing well.
I wonder where Clouds is and how she's doing.
I wonder if anyone is feeding humming birds. They are due here in a couple of weeks. I can't wait.

Clouds -- I've "known" you for many years and I've always thought you were female I wonder how I got that?? And I remember being surprised when you posted your age somewhere. I thought you were much younger. lol - everybody is younger than I am!
Anyway --- it's good to hear from you again.
