Daily Check In Thread For All... #139

Well Pitmom... John tipped over the water container again, but the red metal cup didn't smash...Whew, just wet stuff today. The floor will certainly be cleaner.

Joyce, I'm covering the aqua with white semigloss for easy cleaning. The lower cabinets will be teal. I'm still trying to figure out trim for around the windows. I had 13 windows installed about 12 years ago but they didn't tell me interior trim would be extra! I've lived with 'rough openings' ever since! Sigh.

I've been over doing. May take it easy tomorrow and just relax for a day.

Hello all, hope everyone is doing better than me, slept awfully last night and am a bit anxious this morning. Didn't go well with the Dr yesterday at all, he refused to try Gabapentin, saying wait a month and see if it settles down by itself. Well he's been saying that for 5 months, and to make matters worse I wont be seeing him again, hes leaving. Argh I'm so sick of doctors and especially mine, the GPs change every year, I can't get consistent care and most of them are straight out of school and are just like fish out of water whenever I see them because I'm such a complicated case. Psychiatrists wont see me, gastroenterologists have just fobbed me off so I'm left with GPs who just refuse to prescribe medication without a specialist oversight. Just a never ending circle. It's just useless and I'm left having to fight tooth and nail every step of the way to get some decent treatment. If I wasn't paying out of my own pocket for therapy I'd just be left high and dry pretty much. I hate the NHS healthcare system in this country sometimes, just useless.

I'm so tired of all this, my whole body is aching today, my head hurts, I'm exhausted and just fed up. Am sat at work but not really functioning.

I'm going to try and find a new Doctor who will hopefully help me, and not move on after a year.

Pitmom...yes, take the day off, you deserve it! Painting job ain't easy even in the best of circumstances... and white over aqua is a challenge.

Good luck finding an answer to the window trim. Thirteen is a LOT.
We've been in this house for ten years,,,and several rooms only have shades,,,(no drapes). I told myself..'no curtains 'till the crown molding is installed'. Well, you know that's still to be done.

The only project on my agenda today is to take John for blood work. He has to have that done before he can start his diabetes meds again. Poor guy has had his arm 'stuck' so often recently.

Hey Karen...enjoy your birds. What do you feed them? and what kind are frequent visitors?

Andy, best wishes from me, too. Your situation is a tough road. Hang in there...we're with you.

Good morning this Friday.

Another cold morning. Where's Spring?

John's Hem/Onc doctor called on the phone yesterday. The recent CT scans showed enlarged lymph nodes. Has an appointment this morning for an ultra sound to see what's going on. Oh boy...

Karen, I used to feed thistle, but it didn't stay fresh in my tube container... haven't used in a long time. SO...don't have Goldfinch around much.

We have mostly Blue Jays, Cardinals, Woodpeckers.. Doves..and of course, the wrens and 'bully birds'. I feed Nut & Berry blend and sunflower (BOSS)

TTYL ~ Joyce

YES, we have the 'tufted titmice', too...they are cute. My squirrels have GONE, thank goodness, at least for now.... I call them 'tree rats'

Temps are supposed to be close to 60 for us this weekend. Wow

hello.

Not bad here,

Hubby chasing the squirrels away so the birds can come in to eat. Cloudy but warmer. Icy out. I hope we don't fall.

I hope you all have a good day.

Hugs, Karen...

Yes, old age is so much fun. I fumble around in the morning until I get enough coffee in me to wake up. And the meds. I wouldn't be able to function without them. Ha!!!

John has grippers that he puts on his boots so he doesn't fall. I am going to have to get me some.

Oh my, the sun is trying to come out. Yippie!!!

I hope your hip gets better soon. That is no fun...

Have a good day Joyce!!!

Hugs, Karen...

Computer is a frustrating mess...grandson strikes again!

Did more work in the kitchen...looking good. Couldn't find window valances that I like so bought a fabric shower curtain and will make my own from the abundance of fabric!

Weather was great.

Hope everyone is well.

Suppose to be a nice day. And warmer tomorrow still. Have to do some shopping. Get treats for the dog. She can't have protein so it is banana chips and cookies that are full of vegies. Watermelon pieces too. Spoiled, yes...

I hope you all have a good day today.

Hugs, Karen...

Hello all, hope you had a nice weekend. I think yesterday was the first day in a long time where I can say I actually had a good day. My pain and discomfort was quite low, my spirits were ok. I did feel a bit bored as if I didn't know what to do with myself when suddenly feeling ok. My mum visited over the weekend which I think helped me out a bit too.

Back in work today and the pain has been more bothersome again. Ah well, trying not to let it get me down.

Good Tuesday morning, everyone.

Rain expected for several days. Just got back from filling the bird feeders before I got 'soaked'. Still limping with the cane.

Nothing 'new' to report. Hope all going smoothly with the rest of you.
