Mags, I hope you get through with the financial aid for Katie.
Myself : I'm glad the meds are working for you.
AV: you should really rest your knee. It needs to heal.

Found this quote while browsing online and though I'd share it with everyone here since I liked it...

“Though no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending.”
– Carl Bard

Have a good evening/night everyone!

Morning all-

It's going to be a strange day. I think we found a good used truck for my son who turns 16 in two weeks. My ex hubby is coming down to possibly buy the truck from my current hubby who is a car dealer. This would be the second vehicle ex has purchased from current. Everyone gets along but it is very stressful for me to have them work together! I just want ths morning to end fast!

Good news is that son may have a vehicle today which solves many issues of car pooling in our family.

AV- my daughters is senior too and has no idea where she wants to go for college. Can I start the financial aid process without her knowing where she wants to go? She goes back and forth between being a teacher or being a sports broadcast journalist. Two very different schools are good for each.

It's just going to be 98 degrees today! Hot, hot, hot!

Everyone- I'm hoping you have a fantastic Friday!

Good morning all:

   A slightly muggy 66 degrees this morning here - during the daily doggy drive! We did spot two today - yeah!!!!!! And Giz was a howling fool on the way back home - after seeing the boxer and a black(?)! I think he was calling for all dogs to come out!!!

   "The Big Sleep" was not as good as expected - and halfway thru the next Bogey film last night, I hit the big sleep button!

   Mustang229 - my youngest daughter started the financial investigations for college shortly after her senior year in H.S. started. She wouldn't let me help - so I can't say anymore about requirements. She did get a B.A. degree in journalism - then an M.A. - and she is working, but some of her friends had a hard time finding a job after the degree, and all of them were disappointed with the starting pay. It is tough out there!!!!!

Have a good day ... to all!

Hi Michele, UA, Jamie and GNM,

I hope you all are having a good day. Thunderstorms here today. But we need the rain. It seems like it went from too hot and sunny to no sun and cloudy, cool. But I love autumn, so this weather is nice for me. Though I don't want to go right to winter from there. The summer is going by too fast.

I hope you all have a wonderful day. I hope I didn't miss anybody!

Hugs, Karen...

Hello my friends.

I usually don't pour my heart out, however I am at the end of my forebearance! I have been falling occassionally lately. I would not say alot. So today I have an appointment in the city to see my neurologist for the TN and migraines etc... don't I fall going to the trains. Just walking, normal, down I go.

So of course now I feel obligated to mention it, another MRI to rule out MS for the 3rd time in my life. My legs have strength in them, but they feel weak, sometimes I have a hard time with the stairs. I am chaulking it up to all the medications they have me on. Could be too!

I go back on Sept 6 to discuss the results of the MRI I have yet to schedule.
I did not tell the doc I am having slight issue with my urine, which scares me now. My 2nd cousin has MS she is 75, does well, be has been on briefs since 55. I am 52, Lord help me if it is MS.

There I vented, I apologize for bringing anyone down. I just had to get this off my chest. I act like it is no big deal around my husband. He worries so much.

Peace and lots of Courage!
Trina

I hope everybody is having a good day. I am cooking today.

Hugs, Karen...

Trina-

I'm so sorry you are going through this. I'll say extra prayers for you.

Thanks, MRI is set for next thursday the 8th. SIGH. Mindfulness time.
Going to go sit out back and listen to the baby birds in my watering can and watch Mama come feed them.

Peace
Trina

Trina, sorry to hear what's happening. Hope all goes well with your MRI app next week. Keep us updated.

Feel free to vent anytime. We're here for you :-)

I hope you feel better. Take it easy and get some rest.

Karen, have fun cooking. I have a cheesecake to make but not feeling up to it. Maybe over the weekend I'll make it.

... so... we just talk about our day, here?

3 hours of sleep for the second or third day in a row. at least i'm not sleeping during the day, i guess.
really warm... of course, summer in texas is going to be hot. first time i rode my bike feeling like a complete zombie. first time donating plasma like that, too, i think.
really lonely... my online friends are always busy, lately, and the one offline friend i have hates me. still friends, at least the last time i asked (i seriously had to ask her. >.> ), but she can't stand me, and it's eating me from the inside out... while the mosquitoes eat me from the outside, in. >_< a few bad thoughts on the way back from donating... mostly involving traffic, but i screw things up too much to actually die from anything i do. heh. wonder if mom felt the same way...

um... i guess that's about it... day's only half over, but i don't see anything special happening in the next 12 hours. can't go to the clinic until monday (gotta love the cheap stuff, huh?), or i'd be there now.
Posted 8/2/2013 8:18 PM (GMT 0)
InnerVision,

I have heard you mention donating blood before, do you do that on a regular basis? That is very kind of you.

My day is more than half over, I got a lot done. I am tired, but hanging in there. I get up really early sometimes. 4 and 5 oclock. I usually get about six hours of sleep.

I hope you all have a good day. Take care and keep posting...

Hugs, Karen...

gb:
it's plasma; they pay a little bit for it, so it's not as kind as you'd think. still, it's not something i'd give up just because i was financially stable. heh, sounds like a pretty great day to me. i'm more of a nightowl, though.
Posted 8/2/2013 9:46 PM (GMT 0)
Phew. Busy day, here. HAd to drive a fecal sample down to DC, because my colon wouldn't cooperate Wednesday. Hit traffic both directions. Splurged and got a cute haircut. Nurse at gastro study place showed my my urine results and bloodwork, and I got anxious. Urine sample high in protein, blood, and bacteria. Angsted about it for a few hours after the drive back home, and then went to a urgent care place. They prescribed stuff for a UTI. Today was all about health matters.

Finally home. Did not apply for jobs today. That's not good. Have some lovely chicken breasts thawing, fresh green beans, and will make a nice pesto. Stupid action movie for post-evening enjoyment.

Elderly aunt (see posting last week) emailed me today, not with an apology, but with information about what's going on after she sent us on our way last Thursday. I need to email her back but not today. I emailed her pastor (bad, I know) and have been worried for the past few days. Brother has washed his hands of it, so it's up to me. He cares for our mother, so it's totally understandable.

Clearly, the upping of the effexor has helped. Thank goodness I am medication-sensitive!

Happy weekend, chawl!
Posted 8/2/2013 10:04 PM (GMT 0)
I cooked up some chicken breast and green beans today too. Also steamed some cauliflower, made alfredo with noodles. It was so good. Now I am going to kick back and take a shower.

I hope all are well.

Have a good one all. The weekend is upon us.

Hugs, Karen

noodles, talking food **** now. no carbs here,now.

Enjoy your shower, your good eating, and your weekend!
Posted 8/2/2013 10:35 PM (GMT 0)
Food .... and medical stuff!!!

Hmmm ... might as well join in briefly.

   I tried 2 small sole fillets last night, and thought it might be good with a small side of a sesame ginger sauce. Unless you like your mouth borderline burning ... wouldn't recommend it!

  Still have 2 more fillets left (bought them once frozen) - and need to finish them tonight ... and this time with a side of fresh (steamed) corn. My goodness, seafood three times in the past 5 nights! My doctor would be proud!

   Beginning tomorrow, there are 4 to 5 known medical issues to deal with and my psychologist to see in the next 7 days ...... do I know how to have fun?

Have a peaceful and a good week-end to all. 

Posted 8/3/2013 12:55 AM (GMT 0)
Well today turned out to be crap. Lots of fighting, arguing, hurt feelings, and stress! No truck for my son today. We've put it off till Monday when we get to try again. My poor son is taking it well but I hate to see him in the middle of all this mess!

Here's hoping for a better evening. Thanks for letting me vent a little.

Michele
