It's Another Day In The Neighborhood..........How's Yours Today ........

 Good Morning all

I thought we just might have a thread that we can post anything about our days .......

it doesnt have to be all bad we can have tears ....laughter......fun and alot of silliness too as well as some seriousness..........I will start and IF you care too join in ..please do ....

 

My Day started with a real bang I must say the windows were rattling so loud I thought someone was coming in........We had a severe ice storm thru the night it started about 10 pm last night with just a wee bit of freezing rain and then WHAM it hit like a Transport truck It is heading Toronto Canada way .......I awoke to loud noise no hydro and of course the Crohns morning from Hades...try running I mean running literally to potty before it is too late with NO lights nothing it was not fun and then I get to it and OF COURSE Cait's Fiancee has not LEARNED/ LEARNT   yet to put tiolet seat down so I almost ...almost ended up with my gasket in the potty not on it .........Great way to start the day .........but I can laugh and so would you had you had seen me ........Lil sis you know what I mean by having to run and squeeze the buttocks .....ROFLMBO........Hydro back on by 5:55 am .Thank God

So then I decide after the trips to potty are done ( 8 ) in all ...a good day .......to dye my hair had to get rid of some of the grey......ya know its time when your teen says hey Mom ya know I can see grey hair ........" I will grey hair her alright...." LOL. ...Anyhoo got the dye on at 6 this am and it is now off and man oh man is my hair dark I mean dark ......Howie will notice for sure ...and I am sure he will wonder what the hades got into me this am..them of course today Cait has an exam and is hyper as all get out had to make her porridge as she has her Phys Ed exam today and thinks it will help ( which I am sure it will ).......Dad was so hyper due to the Alzheimers and the storms really throw him off so I had to sit and try to calm him then Cait took over and read to him .putting him back to sleep ..he looks so peaceful......I had to give him his Morphine this am its only his 3rd dose and I still worry about him and the meds with the stairs so I am on "HIGH alert"

Tonight I have an interview with a Lady who has a son 33 yrs old with Autism and is looking for someone to come in and do home support care.......I am really wanting this not only for the 20.00 an hour but for the fact it will have me out of the house a few hours daily doing what I love to do and I pick my own hours ........This money can be put away for a trip for the family this summer or an extra special gift for Cait and Howie........or I just may treat self .......Keep your digits all crossed for me plz.....

Jeesh seems like I have wrote a novelette here but I just thought I would share my day SO FAR ....LOL.......

I am hoping this thread will pick up and others will ramble just like me ......it is a great way to know ppl and find out what kind of day they are having I think anyways but who knows we shall see how it goes ...if it goes ....... . 

 

K now it is someone else's turn if you care to share and just write ( type ) anything ya want ( within rules of course lol)........I think I have said enough so far dont you

 

Take care all and see ya later on the thread and threadsssssssss

 Big sis out

Cowgirl OUT

Luvs........LYN

 

You 2 make me tired reading............OMG,  My hubby took our dog our and I heard her barking at 0600 as she is a southern gal originally and this Minnesota weather kicks her tush, literally.  It was a lovely - 18 when I climbed out of my warm bed, the heating blanket was on high.  The windchill last night was a -45.  We are protected by trees but that is still to cold.

I posted last night on depression as mine has kicked in and did me in but I received many kind and caring responses and I guess I needed to feel connected.  I spend to much time alone.

I feel better now knowing I let others in on my secret and I can quit pretending that I am happy as a lark.  I plan on spending next January someplace warm.............pleez. 

Lyn my fingers and toes are crossed for you.  I admire you so,  you always get the job done.  How do you do it.

Hugs to all and Junebug, make mine cocoa.

Well, it is official, compared to others I have absolutely no life. My youngest turned 16 yesterday and he had an appointment today to get his license. He did great, only 2 points off for not stopping behind one stop sign (he stopped on the white line). I'm in the south so compared to you guys we had warm weather, 23 degrees. Had one heck of a wind storm, rain, hail, and lightning last night, but everything is intact. Went and sat in the hot tub at my parent's house today and let the tears roll. Other than being in horrible pain and just wishing to feel partially "normal" I don't have a reason for the gloomies, gotta/wanna shake it, but haven't yet.

Junebug yep I do get busy lol ..it is my OCD kicking in full throttle again.........
The bleeding car was acting up today due to the cold could not get the dang door open so got in passenger side and gave it a boot and yep it worked .lol ..ya gotta boot something every once in awhile and as long as it is an inadimite ( sp) object I will do it
I do hope you have lotsa cocoa on and ya get your soup done .......Stay warm we are still having the worst wind and rain storm going in yrs.......School was not cancelled here but I think it is because of exams
It was repoted on CFTO and another canadian news broadcast that the old Principal ( that just got fired ) and the secretary from Caits school obsconded with thousands and thousands of dollars.......WHAT the hades is this world coming too .......Be well hun...and thanks for joining in the thread

Jeesh your kids are spending more time at home than school it seems EH .I think the only reason Cait was at school and it wasnt cancelled is due to exams..You did great keeping them occupied anyways so all in all it has been a busy day for you ..........Maybe a warm cloth on your arm may help you out for a bit at a time but you might have to resoprt to other measures for that pain.....We dont want you going away on us ....you are a great support to so many here .......Dont ya just love having brothers that NEVER put the seat down ......ya right ..lol...You take care plz and keep posting abotu whatever here ..i think it helps to let it all out in whatever way we so desire dont you .........Luvs ya .LYN

Mochiah......Congrats to your son on getting his permit that is something to be proud of his first shot at it EH.....I wish you didnt suffer so with the pain all the time does the fentanyl not help at all or just ease it basically??I am on Oxycontin 40 mgs BID now was on 80 mgs bid for a long time but wanted to cut back ya know .........and percocets for B/T pain.......I am allowed to take a third Oxy if I need it but unless I am in real dire straits I try to stick with the 2 and the Percs instead.......I cannot use the patches due to the Pyoderma Gangrenosum I have which is like a skin eating thing that comes out in stress and trauma to the body ......have had some real bad sores going dfown to the bone almost had my leg and a finger have to be amputated got so bad ........But back to you .......I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers and hope you will get some relief I know what pain can do to a person...Severe depression and many other issues come into play when in severe pain constantly at least with me it does........

Hey all!

I am sorry I haven't been around to talk w/ you and offer some support!  I hope everyone is hangin' in, and movin' on---with everything! 

I haven't been on b/c I have been having pain in my right arm (shoulder/neck/arm, etc...)---and when I use the computer---my arm goes numb and my nails turn purple! 

I am keeping everyone in my prayers that we all get through the tough days---and I know there are a lot of tough days!

I was actually having some good days--but, then....the pain is slowly creeping back!

BUT-----I finally found out the results of my cervical MRI--I HAVE ONE herniated disc!  Of course, in the world of automation (you don't call the MDs office for results--you call some 800# and the 'auto' lady tells you the results)----I have NO IDEA which disc is herniated---but, I made an appt. to see the PA next Wednesday for a "NOW WHAT"?  session!

OY!  Hang in everyone!  (I will probably make a seperate post about this...my anxiety is rising with the 'what ifs'......gotta love the anticipatory/health anxiety!  Geez!

Cyber hugs to you all---miss ya!

Laurel

A regular member whoooooo hooooooo.  Beats being irregualar doesn't it Badfish?  Lyn is an outstanding member, she has devoted so much to this site.  We best bring a big cake and a carmel sundae or two on that magic carpet Meg.

BabyT, glad your doing better...........nasty ole winter.  I am freezin my tush off here in MN.  It has been one of those snow at least once a week 3-4 inches so you can shovel and then it blows and the highways are covered with slick spots.

Where is our Cowboy, I need to hear some of our AK's humor.  I am trying to keep a happy face and remember all that are worse off then me but I really do get down without the sunshine and being  cooped up.  Oh to have that summer tent on the beach somewhere. 

Lyn, I know you and Howie and Cait are giving 100% now and I am glad you liked the email.  Please remember to take care of you.

Ya all take care and I am off to let Calgon fly me away................

Hugs
