Daily Check In Thread for all!!! Chapter "15"

Hi gang...
Just saying' hello instead of trivia...
which, by the way Karen, enjoy that you enjoy...but, if you prefer to keep the 'check in' thread more chat oriented, I could put the smilers on a separate thread. Let me know which you prefer.

All is quiet here, just lousy weather like the rest of you.
John had doctor check up yesterday and Prostate is still under control, but the doc is really pushing for radiation to prevent recurrence. We prefer watchful waiting.

Trina, better that you were a day early, than a day late for your doctor appt. (which has happened to me!)

UA hope you get over your flu soon, sending healing vibes your way.

Jam, always good to see your messages each morning/evening when I do my smiler posts. Nice to know someone else is awake at that time!

CU in the morning ~ Joyce

Okay doke, Karen...
Guess it's time to try some games again. Just hope I don't repeat myself too often.

Will start Saturday with 'Scrambles' #6.

In the mean time, I'll keep 'smilers' on the check in thread until you make up your mind..for sure, for sure.

My goodness, no, you're not butting in at all.

WELCOME, frizzbie...glad to have you join us. This is just a thread for anyone to say anything (well, almost) to anybody.
Say hello, whenever you can and let us know how you're doing.

Karen, our moderator will greet you, too...she's probably busy picking grapes right now.

I usually post about 5:00 am in the morning. Have NO idea what I'm doing here at this hour.
Hope to 'see' you here again, soon.

Evening everyone.

I have a question. I feel so much better in the late afternoon. In the morning and early afternoon, I am foggy, exhausted/sleepy... To the point of almost non-functioning.

Around 4pm, I feel really well. More awake, alert, ready to go outside, etc. Even though my eyes still look tired.

When previously on Cymbalta, I took it in the mornings. This time, because I had such terrible side effects, I take them at night. One of the side effects before was insomnia and along with the others, I could barely function for a couple of weeks.

My doctor doesn't have a preference for me, when to take it. Whatever works for me. I'm wondering since I'm in week two, if I should try taking them in the morning?

Thanks for any thoughts on this.

And Joyce, I love your funnies! Trina I have done the same thing!

Thanks again! Much love to all.

thanks for making me feel welcome, everyone! i get the idea of this thread now, and i really like it. :)

i'm struggling at work lately. i have my regular job, which i am feeling foggy-headed about lately. hard to stay focused and organized and complete everything i need to get done. i think that's because i've taken on an extra project that is a HUGE ordeal...i usually love projects. i'm a total "project person!" but this was supposed to be a group project, and most of my group has flaked out, so i'm left with the bulk of the work.

now, i don't want my first post to turn into a bunch of complaining...i am trying to focus on gratitude. so i had to tell you that backstory to get to the part where i'm grateful -- i have some awesome friends who don't even work with me, who have their own jobs/lives/families, and they're taking their personal time to help me with my extra project! i am so, so, so thankful for these friends right now! just knowing they care enough about me to give me their time, energy, and help makes me feel so loved...and they're even telling me what a good job i've done so far!

so i started today off overwhelming, but ended up feeling so loved, grateful, and HOPEFUL that this project will work out! i also see light at the end of the tunnel...succeed or fail, at least this project will be over in about 2 weeks, LOL! :)

i hope you all have had a lovely day, and i'm looking forward to getting to know all of you here!

What did you paint? I am thinking about starting a butterfly on a flower. I have all my equipment, but haven't started yet. I may change my mind and do something different. We shall see.

I am ready for bed and took my ambien. I can feel it kicking in, so i better go...

Hugs, Karen
