Daily Check In Thread for all... #190

Hi Pitmom, and Happy old and new year to you!

I got dentures (top) in my 30's but got immediate denture. I didn't have to be hammered and chiseled though. So you probably need time to heal. Hopefully seeing an oral surgeon, they will knock you out. I am sure that would be best for the procedure.

I was glad I got the denture as I always had bad teeth.

I am sure you will look nice in your dentures. Especially if you replicate your natural teeth.

One day at a time, as you don't want anxiety about it. I think you will be happy once it is all over with.

Hang in there Pitmom, and again have a good transfer into 2020.

PS the beef stew sounded good. I am making home made spaghetti sauce today.

Hugs, Karen...

Right now I'm just hoping that 2020 will be as good as 2019 was for me.

2019 wasn't the best year of my life. But it was pretty good nonetheless.

I'll likely go to bed about a half an hour after midnight, as I'll be watching the New Year's celebrations on TV.

Well, it's official...2020 is here. It seems the older I get, the more time flies.

Hoping that 2020 is a good year for everyone.

Happy New Year everyone!😀

Today I got my monthly non fasting blood test with the phlebotomist done, which I have to do every month because I'm on a drug called Clozaril. They do this to check my white blood cell count.

Pitmom

Nice to see you post.

I wish you less struggle in the new year.
Peace

Stay safe Jamie. I hope that rain comes or that they can get the fires out. We are worried.

Good luck with tests.

Hugs, Karen...

Wow, we get some pretty terrible fires in the western United States, but nothing like you guys are having there, Jamie. I hope the smoke doesn't affect your breathing. I still get a little uneasy when I smell smoke from someone's wood stove - I used to love it. I hear California is sending out 150 firefighters to help.

My big news is that my husband finally has someplace to put the waterbed so I can now get rid of it. Yay!!! I have been sleeping on that thing for almost 30 years. It was fine when I was younger and it was great when I was pregnant, but now it makes my back hurt and the heater triggers night sweats. It is a monstrosity, too. It is king sized, has drawers under the platform, a huge headboard with shelves and an etched mirror, and is some sort of cross between American Country and Spanish style in a very dark and heavy wood - very popular in the 70's. You could put a sail on it and make it into a boat.

Tonight the New England Patriots face the Tennessee Titans in Foxboro, Massachusetts in a playoff game. So everyone will know what I'll be watching tonight on TV.

They say it's possible that this could be Tom Brady's last game in Foxboro as a Patriot, as he becomes a free agent once this season is over. I hope not!

Trina, I'm sorry you had a bad day, I hope tomorrow is better. Mike, I'm sorry the Patriots lost their game. The Denver Broncos were out of it a long time ago.

Getting rid of the water bed is rather a process. Today I went to Home Depot to get a siphon pump in the lawn mower dept and a plastic hose in the toilet dept. Then my son and I drained it, which took a couple of hours and got everything wet. Tomorrow we are going to dismantle it. I am almost afraid of what we might find behind it - the space is big enough for a cat or a small child to get into but I haven't looked back there in years.

I have been sleeping in number 2 son's bed which is very uncomfortable which is why I am still up. Maybe I'll take a couple of tylenol's before I go to bed and see if that helps.

Buena, I hope you don't find what I found when I dismantled the 'super twin' waterbed I'd shared with my 'significant other' of the time. Dozens of foil crack pipes! Ugh! Ancient history now, but devastating at the time.

FP, many years ago, I had a 'secured' credit card that was not supposed to allow me to charge more than what I had on deposit with the bank. Somehow I 'overcharged' and it cost me a small fortune with the horrifyingly high interest rate to finally get out of their snare! I've never held any credit cards since! Cash is accepted everywhere I want to be! lol

Pitmom, I didn't find any crack pipes but I did find a plastic shoebox full of marijuana. Since recreational marijuana has been legal here since 2011 my husband must have hid it there a long time ago. I knew he smoked pot, so no big surprise. Otherwise, just a few old shoes, one earring I lost a long time ago and multiple dust bunnies.

My mother in law put a bunch of veggies into a frying pan to simmer so she could puree it and then fell asleep. I came up from the basement and smelled it burning, not enough to set off the smoke alarm, fortunately. Thank goodness I was here. She is going move down to my husband's farm in a month or two, where he has built an apartment for her, so he will be there every day. This past 9 months of being her sole caretaker, on top of everything else I am responsible for, has really taken a toll on me and made me stressed and depressed most of the time. I wouldn't mind it quite so much if I had actually agreed to do it , but she was basically dumped on me. She has lived with us since day one of our marriage and I am done.

Back to work tomorrow. Have a good evening/morning everyone

Today I went out for a walk around a nearby village, even though the temperature was colder outside than I'd like it to be.

This afternoon, I'll likely listen to music CDs with my radio and headphones.

Then tonight I'll probably work on the computer in order to get my mind off of goodies. My urge to eat junk food is at it's highest at night after supper. I'm try to lower my sugar intake.

A few months ago, I purchased prescription eye glasses at a nearby community health center at a reduced rate, as I have a low income.

However, right after I bought them, the optometry department at the health center shut down. I'm not too happy about it!

You're right, FP. Glasses are expensive.
