I am going to start off this thread with Joanne's last post. It was short so it is easy to do...


Joanne said: Can't sleep.. how are y'all doin ?
Posted 3/25/2014 9:53 PM (GMT 0)
Hey Joanne,

I am sorry you can't sleep. Sometimes when I can't sleep and I am just laying there, I will try to hold my eyes open and stare at something. Before I know it, my eyes are shutting and I am falling asleep. A little reverse psychology that I do.

Take care, I hope you get some rest...

Hugs, Karen....

Wow these threads go by so fast, I can't keep up with them anymore! I am becoming a slow little turtle...

Snowing tonight, light, pretty horse riding snow. Since I don't have a horse it will become dog walking snow.

Rob how is Gizmo doing? Anything definative yet from the Vet?

I am procrastinating call my GP for an appointment on my thyroid, must do that this week. Geeze, the time flies doesn't it?

Good evening all.
Peace

No word from Southeast yet! I was able to reschedule my doctor's appointment to the 4th of April, but at this point I do not think the bone scan will be done and I might have to file a complaint with the joint commission...I'll give them until Thursday then I'm just going to file with the joint commission a complaint and try to find another Hospital if any in my area if not I'll charge Southeast the difference for what my Insurance won't pay...So mad, just not as mad and I have a paper trail...This whole thing is crazy ridiculous. getting this out of my system helps. Thanks for letting me vent.

Hope everyone has a great week.

How is Gizmo doing?

Sorry your having sleep problems JoAnn...Maybe try some Cherries, as cherries can make you sleepy, just only eat a few...

Trina and Karen Many many well wishes

Wow 77!

Rob- Did you like the Supernatural tonight? How is Gizzy doing?

Joanne- I have not been sleeping too well either, this is a sorry state to be in. Hope it gets better soon.

Karen- Anymore wood peckers? I wish it would warm up again here too. Very chilly here today.

Jamie- How are you doing hun? I hope you got more sleep last night.

A/V- how is everything going hun? How are the kids and the kitties?

Well the big move may not happen. My brother in law works at 1am and my son will not settle down and be quite or go to bed so I can not have my truck driving bro in law tired because my son is a crap. I am very mad at him and he doesnt care. I give up. We will stay here and I will just keep doing what I am doing, nothing.

Good Morning all!!!

It is a very cold morning... -12 below zero. I am so sick of this. But the sun is coming up and the sky looks clear. I think it will be a nice day. Warmer tomorrow but snow, rain and sleet. Lovely...

I hope you all have a fantastic day. Jamie, Joanne, I hope you both are getting sleep.

Hugs to all!!!

Chartreaux, stay on that hospital! Don't let them screw around with you.

Trina, don't put off the dr too long. They get grumpy when you do that. Lol

MissJD, have you looked into counseling for your son? My son began acting out after my first divorce. Counseling was great in helping him find healthy ways to express his feelings. The therapist told me that kids can have a hard time with complex emotions especially boys. It made a huge difference for Cade.

I'm sick! I accidentally ate banana oatmeal. Bananas hate me now and cause huge stomach discomfort all of a sudden. Taking my baby to the geneticist in a bit. I'm interested to know how informed this guy is about it all. It's still a relatively unknown syndrome. The ex stupid head will be there with his 19 year old fiancée. Cause that's fun. I'm glad he wants to know but he is so dismissive about anything to do with related health issues that I just want to shake him.

Bernie is being a pain. He wants that outside cat! He wants me to watch him meow at that outside cat. He won't let me sleep because he wants that outside cat. He's lucky that I love his stubborn fuzzy self.

Good morning Vietnam .........

   Gizmo has me spitting bullets right now!!! He's getting into everything! His name should be changed to "The Destroyer"!!!

   He did his little tease this morning when I was trying to get his leash on. I finally caught him (and I shouldn't be doing that) and got his 10' lead on - so we went out for a double poo .... then a ride.

   Obviously, yesterday was the first day of the Easter vacation around here with the middle school closed. Same for today - so there was no chance of Gizmo seeing his GF near the local school bus stop.

   Karen .... -12 degrees out? When are you heading South???? Why is Mother Nature punishing you? I thought +24 degrees out this morning was pretty chilly here ... can't imagine a -12 at this time of year!!!!!

   Trina (and others) ..... thanks for asking about "The Destroyer"! He's at the end of his medication. It just took one day+ of that med for him to act much better late last week. He's full of p**s and vinegar right now. Wish he would just play with his toys!!!!! Oh well!!!! It would seem that it is not Addisons Disease - but have not talked to the vet this week yet.

   MissJD ..... I actually fell asleep during one of the commercials last night when "Supernatural" was on. I'll get it on ... On Demand ... in a day or two. I was an emotional wreck last night - and ran out of Lexapro! Well - actually Gizmo got ahold of the Lexapro plastic bottle and destroyed it ... leaving a few remaining Lexapro tablets on the carpet. He didn't touch 'em - but threw 'em out anyway! I only lost three of the pills - but I'm out now, instead of by Friday.

   Chart ..... so sorry for the frustration .... give it to 'em with both barrels!!!!

Note: was in a bad place later yesterday - but this morning is much better. My news from the Oncologists office the day before wasn't so good - although not devastating. It was sort of expected. It just took about a day for it to hit me. I wrote a very generic and somewhat cold e-mail about where I'm at medically now ... then sent it out to my daughters and several friends.

It's good timing that tomorrow is a support group for re-occurring cancer .... and the day after a support group for spirituality. And Friday night, I'm going to a TGIF (drinks and appetizers) at a local place where the old group I used to do things with - will be. Friday afternoon I'm seeing my primary doctor to get permission to start the excercise program I also used to do - hopefully to start late next week. It's time to say addios to some bad lazy habits.

   Have a good "camel" day!!!!

Rob & Gizmo

A day without another sleep filled one. This is going to get me under the weather pretty soon.

Have a good day/night my hw buddies. (-:
Posted 3/26/2014 7:58 PM (GMT 0)
Tired and cold. Long day today, ending up with a tenth grade class labelled merit, who tore at my heart. Some very bright kids who are hostile and underachieving. Some very average kids who are sweet and seemingly disturbed by the hostility.

Having some tea now and warmed up my neck wrap in the microwave.
Posted 3/27/2014 3:34 AM (GMT 0)
Howdy,

A/V- I am not sure if he is having a hard time dealing or if he is a spoiled brat. I love my son but I am not liking him at the moment. I am going to talk to my counselor Monday and see what he thinks. I am sry your ex is being a toad but some guys just dont deal well, thats not an excuse for him just a fact is all. Hope it gets better soon.

Rob- Oh it was a very insightful episode last night. Wont say anymore because I dont wanna spoil it. I am glad that Distroyer is feeling better. Lol. I am sorry that your oncology news was not good. I hope that you keep fighting and making the best with what you have been dealt, we are here for you.

Karen- -12 holy beans thats cold! The east is gonna be getting bad storms again. I pray that you dont get them. We have had cold windy rain here and its good for the west coast but I dont like it.

PAO- I am sorry that sleep keeps eluding you. The sandman needs to do his job! Do you take a sleep aid? If not maybe you can try one. I take a sleep aid every night or my anxiety will put me in bed for weeks. Be strong.

Jamie- How are you sleeping my friend? I hope all goes well with you. Be strong and arms at the ready. Got mine

Well what a busy day I had today. I have packed 10 or 11 boxes and have more to get packed. We are leaving on Friday afternoon and will be mostly all moved in. I am excited and so is my son. Things will be so much better for us. Well I am very tired and hurt some too so I will go to bed on that note and update as I can. Stay strong and arms at the ready my friends. Good day/ night all.

arms locked and loaded. snipers in position. eyes peeled, the deathly stare, the air raid siren, bombs everywhere. the rapid fire of bullets, rocket launches are a go the madness of war has but only just begun.

Posted 3/27/2014 12:07 PM (GMT 0)
It is way warmer today here. It is 28 degrees. Yeah!!!!! But we might get freezing rain and sleet. We'll see.

I hope all of you are having a good day today.

Jamie, Sounds like you are ready for battle... I hope you win!!!

Hugs, Karen...

Ack. I have a migraine, feels like a food hangover but I have not eaten anything suspect. My intestines were cramping much of yesterday afternoon, and I couldn't escape to go to the bathroom. By the time I could, the headache and nausea had set in.

Still going on this morning. I took extra painkillers, and so far no help. They sent me to cover an early childhood class first thing. I have to say the poster paint and glue sticks made it worse. I was debating whether I could make it 6 more hours without embarrassing myself. However, a trip to the loo when early childhood teacher got back made things somewhat better.

I am going to try to stick it out.

The boil/pustule on my chin looks awful but it getting better. I have been using tea tree oil, and washing it gently three times a day. It itches. I do get them every so often, and always in an embarrassing place like the tip of the nose or the chin... can't help but think that the IBD issues, the boil, and a few other things are linked, as autoimmune issues.

Washing my hand super-well.

Here's to getting through today.
Posted 3/27/2014 1:41 PM (GMT 0)
You will get through the day I am sure. Just keep hanging in there. I sympathize with you though. I know how you feel. It can get rather uncomfortable at times. But you are going to make it, just because I said so... lol... I wish for you a better day Myself. Hang on hon...

Hugs, Karen...

Good morning ..........

   It's realy dark here ... with a little cold misty rain ... possible thunderstorms later. Otherwise the 34 degrees is close to normal here for 8am in early Spring.

   I put a short 4' lead on Gizmo last night in the house. He was a good boy all night and didn't get into anything. The lead came off before bedtime last night - and this morning, no problems!!! Could it be a matter of insecurity for his mischief?

   He only saw one dog this morning - no local pooches!!!

   Karen ...... Jasmine is a little stinker!!! Is this what they learn in doggy school? She does outside what Gizmo does inside .... tease and run ... tease and run!!!!

   MissJD ...... I did watch "Supernatural" on On Demand last night! I don't know if it's the same episode that you saw - since the week before, that program was not on here - because of an election results program.

   I really don't like what's going on between Dean and his Bro. The episode itself was pretty interesting with the background story from 1958 (I think) - but Dean is so obsessed and close to being out-of-control!

   Hope everyone has a good day. I'm looking forward to the support group this morning - the ground snow mounds are almost gone now - Yay!!!!!!

Peace and wellness

Rob & Gizmo

Yay for the snow going away Rob. I hope your support meeting goes well.

I have to go to town, didn't go yesterday as planned. But that is me... I never know what I am going to do until it comes time to do it.

Yes Jasmine is a little stinker. But she is so cute, she picks up her chain in her mouth and prances around. She looks so pretty. She will have a fit when I leave today. Leaving is hard for me. She goes crazy...

The birds are feeding heavily. I think we are in for a little weather today too Rob. Freezing rain and sleet I think. I hope not. Though it is so much warmer than yesterday. I am happy for that.

Take care Rob, and everybody else.

Have a good day all!!!

Hugs, Karen...

Got a surprising call from my RA doctor's office yesterday, I didn't think I'd hear from them. I got the bone scan rescheduled for next Thursdays 3rd of April. The hospital received my letter yesterday as I can track it on USPS website, a bit mad at the postal service as they did tell me the hospital would have it on Monday awe well....Tired today as it was a laundry day did 4 loads this a.m....and will vaccum out my cpu filter tonight...computers get dusty folks...
Many well wishes...and many Thank you's...y'all are the best help...
Posted 3/27/2014 8:11 PM (GMT 0)
It's been a crappy day. I'm going to try and get a nap. It's storming here and I've got a migraine. I'll pop in later when my head isn't trying to explode.
Posted 3/27/2014 9:56 PM (GMT 0)
Not having money is no darn fun. Are you sending out apps? Or waiting for another short gig?

I just sent out an app today for a training administrator near DC.

Keep going to the gym. It's easy to let the day pull you down.
