Hi you two,

I have a friend that loves to burn campfires, or bomfires, if that is how you say it.  We get together on weekends sometimes and have a fire at her house.  It is kind of fun, I always catch myself staring at the fire.  I like to tend it too, stir it around if it need air.  And put more wood on it.  I enjoy that.  Years ago we had wood heat.  I use to stack and split wood.  And I would usually be the one to keep the fire going.  I kind of liked it.  It was all kind of hard work, I use to go out with my late husband and get the wood.  I handled that wood so many times.  Loading and unloading the big truck, stacking it and then bringing it in when it was time.  I swear I could remember certain peices.  Just kidding, though I would recognize one or too.  I liked the wood heat, it was very warm.  I kind of miss those things.  I worked hard when I was younger.  Now I can't do crap anymore.  I would like to try though.

I hope that you ladies both had a lovely day/night.  My day wasn't bad.  I got all that darn paper and boxes burnt up.  It sure was taking up a lot of space, we don't have much room.  We still have a lot of stuff hanging around that has to be moved out of here.  Tomorrow is another doctor appt that I probably wont be able to make due to weather.  We shall see.  I will let you know tomorrow.

Take it easy,

Luv and hugs,

Karen

Hi,
Not much happening here been quiet, Liam went back to school today, he slept well last night, thank goodness, so we'll just have to wait and see how he goes.

I was at my parent group again today and i've nearly finished my crossstitch picture! lol. I might do another one when i'm finished.

I'm glad you got your boxes burnt Karen, it can get annoying when you know they are still there from christmas/new year time. I had to put extra rubbish off mine in the shed, i'll have to take them to the local dump. Did you manage your doc appt today? or was the weather still bad?

I received an appt from my surgeon today she wants to talk over the tests i had earlier this month, she said that as expected the results were poor, so i don't know what she will say about closing my ileostomy now. Have to wait and see, it's not until 21 Feb.

Kimberly i hope your doing ok, and it was good hearing from you Karen, as always.

Hi Ladies,

I hope the two of you are doing well.

I did make my appointment today.  I saw my psycologist.  We had a nice session.  She brings her dog to work.  It is so cute.  That prescious dog gets so much attention.  She is really sweet.

As I said my session went well.  She says that I look like I am doing better than I have.  I am glad.  I tell her all about the forum and the people that I meet.  She thinks it is cool. 

It got foggy on the way back, I am glad to be home.  We are suppose to be in for a lot of nasty weather.  Snow and wind up to 50 miles an hour.  I don't know about that, I hate the thought of losing power.

I will end here, I hope you both have a good day/night.

Luv and hugs,

Karen

  Oh, nice to see the good news here ladies!  Gill, I'm glad to hear Liam slept well tonight and made it to school.  That must have been a bit of a relief.  Hope he continues to sleep better. 

  Thanks for letting us know also when your next app't. is.  You must be learning a lot about patience eh.  But in the meanwhile, sounds like your little guys are keeping you busy and nice things going on too.  Your cross stitch sounds cool.  I don't think I'd have the patience for it, but I know some people just love it.  I used to crochet though and I liked that, but there again I always wanted to just rush through it and get the thing done I was working on.  I guess need to learn to relax.  lol!

  Karen, I'm so glad you made it to your appointment today!  Yay! High five!  And glad you had a safe trip all around.  Fog is no fun to drive in.  We used to get a lot of that when I was a kid where I lived.  Not much in this part of the country though.  We've had more snow today and I just stayed in all day.

  I did a gigantic bunch of dishes tonight and once finished had no desire to do anything else besides eat chocolate.  I didn't eat the chocolate, but I did just flake out and watch some tv with hubby.  Not much exciting going on here.  I'm feeling better than I was the past two weeks, and finally feel like I'm starting to sleep better too so that helps.

  Well you gals have a good night/day your way kay!  love and hugs, Embers

tongue  Hi you two,

We are having one heck of a storm.  High winds and tons of snow.  I could barely open my front door this morning.  And yes I did wake up in the morning.  I love it, I usually sleep until noon.

I don't have a sleeping schedule either, I am never consistant.

I try to go to bed early but I can't.  So it usually one or two in the morning.  Since I have had fibro, I seem to have better energy at night than during the day.

I hope that you both are doing good.  It has been a trying winter here this year.  And cold.  I seem to be just keeping my head above water.

I hope you both have a good day/night.

Luv and hugs,

Karen

Karen,

It finally has warmed up today here and no storm. I wonder if what you're getting is part of that "Alberta clipper" thing someone - was it you?- mentioned.

I have more energy at night now too. And often less pain. Mornings are rough. So stiff and grumpy and don't want to move. It's 12:30 here and I am still experiencing 'morning'...woke up only an hour ago. My curtains are letting too much light in so I wake up a million times in teh morning and then get up exhuasted around noon after many unsuccessful attempts to finish with a good hour or so of sleep. I told the hubby he needs to fix that for me today. Even though I'm tired I still feel better than I have been though, so I'm glad for that.

Gill is probably starting to wind down for the day. Just as I'm getting started. lol!

I'm so glad you were up early to experience the storm. I kind of feel like it's a big event and don't want to miss out on weather things like that. Some day it will be spring, and I have to say I am looking forward to that despite my love of being all cozied up inside during the wintery storms.

I guess I should get myself working on some stuff now. I wish I wasn't so sleepy. Oh well. Life goes on.
Hope you both are feeling good today. :0)

hugs, Embers

Hey you two,

I have been able to experience the storm all day long.  We weren't even suppose to be driving unless it was an emergency.  We got hammered pretty good, though I guess it is suppose to be warmer tomorrow.  We got huge drifts all over the yard, but it didn't snow in our driveway.  It blew over it.  Usually the snowplow for the roads fills me in, but they didn't do that today.  How lucky we are at times.  It doesn't seem like a little thing like that would bother a person, but when the plow fills in our driveway, I get kind of irritated.  Years ago I shoveled the drive by hand, then it really irritated me.  I couldn't picture doing that now.

Embers, I am so happy that you are feeling better.  I am too.  I think part of mine was pms.  I wish I would finish going through the change and get this over with.  I went nine months without having a period, then shortly after that I went for three more months.  I was thinking it was over then, but it isn't.   But I am thankful for about a year all together without them.  But doesn't it feel good to feel good.  My other one is I am sick and tired of being sick and tired.  Like as if I am the only person to ever say that.LOL.  But anyway I am happy that you feel better, I know that you said that you were still a little tired.  I kind of am too, but better than I was.  Atleast today I am.

Gillian, And you sound better too.  I am so happy that all of us are feeling a little better.  This is such a hard time of the year.  I am already sick of winter and looking forward to spring.  Though I must say this month has gone by really fast.

I hope that the two of you have a great night,day for you Gillian.  Take care and keep in touch.

Luv and hugs,

Karen

Good Morning Friends,

I think we are getting the same kind off weather here, snow, high winds, even thunder this morning!
I so wish it would be over, i can see my little daffodils coming up again and my snodrops, it excites me a little, to know the long winter will HOPEFULLY be over.

LOL, It seems we are all doing and feeling ok at the moment, our only slight worry is the weather!!

I am off out tomorrow night, my cousin is having a 21st birthday party, so all the family will be there, i am looking forward to it though it's hard going to social things on my own without my husband, but mum & dad will be there and my sis & her husband. I didn't know what to get my cousin Jennifer, it's quite hard to know what the younger ones are into, so i seen a lovely satin nightie and dressing gown to match in Marks & Spencer so i bought it, i hope she likes it!!

Well i better go and get some housework done, i'll call by later.

Hey you two, i think we should start a new thread any suggestions for a topic title??

Good morning/evening Gillian,

Isn't it so cool when your flowers start to pop up in the spring?  I just love dafodils, crocus, snowdrops and hiasthinths (sp).  It is always so nice when they come up.  I also have tulips but they aren't coming up as well as the others anymore, but that is probably because I don't take good enough care of them any more.  I find a lot of my grape hyasthints all over the yard, I think that the squirrels move them. 

I am so happy that we all are feeling a little better.  I think we are good therapy for eachother.  It always makes me feel good when I can improve the way somebody else is feeling.

I read how you both responded to Kitts thread yesterday.  You both were so kind to her and that made me so happy.  I guess moderators have their bad days too.  Though they seem so strong.  But the two of you were so compassionate and I know she appreciated it so much.  Doesn't it feel good to know you made an impact on somebody elses life?

I think we could start a new thread too.  I just don't know how to word it.  Do you have any ideas?  I don't want to sound selfish and just keep it between the three of us, though that is really the meaning of it.  So if you can think of something to use for a topic, let me know.  We could make it upbeat, maybe something about feeling better.  If I think of something I will post it, and if you think of something you can post it.

I think you will have fun at your cousin's birthday party.  Even if your husband isn't there.  You will probably have the time of your life.  And I like the gift that you picked out for her.  I bet she will love it.  So you go and have yourself a good time.  I order you to LOL.  Doctor Karen's prescription for you. LOL.

I hope your sons are doing good.  Sounds like they are doing better, I know you have been worried about that.  But I am sure that things will improve with time.

Embers, I know that you are still sleeping.  I got up at 6:00 am, believe it or not.  Will talk to you later, I hope that you have a wonderful day.  Gillian and I were thinking about starting a new thread, ours is five pages now.  Any ideas?

You guys have a wonderful day/night.

hugs,

Karen

I just wrote a post then realized I forgot to submit it. So here I go again. Gillian came up with three topics that I liked. In fact I like all of them and thought we could put them all together. How about "Looking ahead down the clear road to brighter days." I think that will work. I will start the thread today. That way people can join in and we can keep communicating with eachother.

Luv and hugs,

Karen
