Right. That is the downside of traveling -- dealing with people and spaces you normally do not.

That is also the upside -- being somewhere different and being with fun people.

Donna, :grouphug::grouphug::grouphug:

How is the healing coming?

Are you feeling good about your progress?

Mari

The healing is coming that is about all I can say for it.

I need to do more standing with my walker. But have to
have someone around first.

I am doing okay. Just chilling.
Wishing I had ice cream.

Donna :hug::grouphug:

Donna,

Here is some chocolate ice cream.

Oh, good! Glad you are going to get to go, Donna. :)

It will be good for you. I can understand feeling stuck not being able to go anywhere, and not really even being able to move around a whole lot. It's going to get better now though. :hug::hug:

waves

Yep, but hit a snag trying to reserve a room.

My IN*SOURCE co-worker said that it would be $85.00

I can't seem to get the rate. So Monday will have her
figure it out.

Donna :hug::grouphug:

I hope you can get the room at that rate. maybe phone the hotel manager?
bizi

I put a email into the person with our group that does the reserving.

I am just hoping the accessible room is still available on Monday.
I could finally take a shower. Ugh, it would be so nice.

Donna :hug::grouphug:

Donna,

Showers are nice -- especially when you do not have one for a while.

I hope that the rate on the room works out for you.

M

oh I am hoping that it all works out for you. Yes taking a shower would make you feel much better!
bizi

Hi everyone

Thanks for the good thoughts. I got a room, that is handicap accessible
today. Hoping that the shower will be possible.

We will see.

Donna :hug::grouphug:

Glad you are set to go! :)

Rooting for your shower, too. ;)

waves

I just hope nothing happens and they give the room to someone else.

Since my reservation was on the phone. It should be okay.

I got a email, saying they weren't guaranteed when requesting. But
I think that is when you make it on the internet.

Donna :hug::grouphug:

I received a sad call today. But I knew it was coming.

My Case Manager for the insurance company called me to tell
me she was not going to be it anymore. But that I could
call for other issues.

I now have to figure out how to deal with the new one.

Donna :hug::grouphug:

i am sorry, but am sure you will figure it out.
bizi

Hi,

That stinks. Maybe the next one will be just as good or better. :grouphug::grouphug::grouphug:


M

Ugh, I could scream. My husband is working late tonight and working tomorrow. I am not a happy camper.

Donna

:heartthrob::heartthrob::heartthrob::heartthrob:

oh oh oh

'Sorry about that.

Mari

Just part of my life.

I really wanted him to take me down to the State Special Olympic games.

But life gets in the way.

Donna

I wish you could have gone donna.
((((HUGS))))
bizi:hug:

Hi, Donna, :grouphug::grouphug::grouphug::grouphug:

That is disappointing.

Keep healing. That is important.
Keep taking care of yourself.

M

Donna,

Seems like there have been a few disappointments, or difficulties, lately.

I hope you receive a nice surprise soon, to lift your spirits. ;)

:hug:

waves

Thanks, I'm doing okay I had a pity party off and on all day by myself.

Which I think I needed. My husband isn't feeling well tonight.
He informed me he doesn't have to work tomorrow. But that
was a surprise. I didn't get informed he might work.

My friend is supposed to get me out on Monday. To run my errands.
But she is under the weather now. Ugh, I hope it is better by next
weekend. I am really going to be upset if I miss my trip.

Gosh I want of the rollercoaster I seem to be on.

Now my trip could be in jeopardy. My friend who was taking me
is sick. Not sure what, but she has been getting steadly worse.

saying some prayers, that she turns around fast.

Donna :hug::grouphug:

I'm sorry, Donna. I do hope she improves in time. :o

Failing that, is there anyone else you could enlist to give you a ride?

Perhaps a coworker, or one of your volunteers?

waves

Donna I'm sorry for all of these problems. Sometimes when one door closes,another door opens with unexpected help. I hope that things work out quickly. BF:hug::hug::hug:

As of now she is planning to go still.

She is one of my volunteers. And she believes it was a allergic reaction
to medication that was given to her on Thursday.

But they told her to keep her doctor's apt on Tuesday. Her iron is very
low, and she can't take the pills.

Donna:hug::grouphug:

5th place Running long jump (new age category, he is one of the youngest now)
3rd place Javlin throw. (Brand new this year.)
4th place 4 x 100 relay. He and one other are only ones left from
old team.

I really missed being there. But the coach's daughter put lots on their page.
Daily. And some others too.

Donna :hug::grouphug:

Donna, :grouphug:

He did great!!! That is marvelous. :)

Javelin? I thought they took that sport out. I guess it is back in.

Thank goodness for pictures on Facebook. :) :cool:

M

Its the mini Javelin throw.

I really hope at some point someone post a picture of any one doing
it. Some are posting video's.

So you can see what they did.

Special Olympics
 

Donna, I found a news cast of the opening of the Special Olympics in Terre Haute from a few days ago:

M

Yes, this is a great one.

They are working for the longest high 5 line.
Don't know when they will know.
Can't remember if this one shows Melony Salla
Lighting the torch. but she is one of our athletes.

She is Athlete of the year.

Donna :hug::grouphug:

happy for you guys!!!!!
congratulations!

Well gosh I did lots of shopping today.

I thought my husband, who just kind of showed up.
Was going to have a cow.

Donna

Heheh, Donna.

The shopping and the husband's cow. :D

So what all did you buy?

Curious minds want to know...
Broke people want to live vicariously...

waves

Yum, first we went to Kohl's, and thankfully he doesn't know how much I saved there. Heehee, 250.00. But I spent about 130.00. Thanks to the
clerk trying to get me a higher percentage off, because I have a credit card.
With scratching off 3 of the cards. All 3 were 15%. The clerk was nice, she
gave me 20%.


I found some really nice shirts for work, a skort that my husband will love.
I plan to wear it on Sunday, for fathers day and Derrick's birthday.
Some shorts.

Then we were at k-mart. And when I'm in a shopping mode that is the wrong place to go. They had shorts, shirts and capri's for under $10.00 that I loved.
Some were even under $5.00. Wow.

So my cart and my husbands cart were full. I bought a neat 4th of july shirt,
For me and my friend. And Jessica a shirt. I told her if she spent 6 or 7 dollars on a shirt, she was to get 2. So she would really look and find something she liked. When she didn't want to get one, I told her she either picked one out or I did.

Got Will 2 pairs of jeans that are adjustable, for 7.99, a set of pajama's of course batman. And a shirt. He also got 2 pairs of pajama pants at Kohls,
they were clearance.

Ethan, picked out 2 or 3 pairs of really neat shorts, a shirt with headphones on it. And a Mario shirt. I think a couple more shirts too. He also got two pairs of shorts from Kohl's. And a neat Tony Hawk shirt, that I was pretty sure he would like. And another that I got both him and Will.

So then I also found a great pair of jean shorts in my size. And a pajama set.
I got a nice bonus last week. Still don't know the exact number.
So I splurged. And I spent 300.00, paid 200.00 cash and put 103.00 on
charge. I will pay off soon both charges.

Hubby, can be happy or mad. I could care less, anyone that can't locate
my stuff at home. Just needs a reality check. But I sure need to go
through things and we have a garage sale this year.

Also bought supplies for our trip.

Donna :hug::grouphug:

One last set of great news. My husband got a different job yesterday.
That is why he was in town. He started this morning its a lot less driving
for him usually. Today he had to go to main shop, so it was probably
about the same. But usually about 30 minutes at most to new site.
Also new contractor, and he was really upset with what they were doing
at the new building site. I'm glad my sons didn't get a job there. Not
sure its going to be a safe place to work.

Also this morning, he comes in with my breakfast and hot tea. Comments
really happy that he is loving his new time for leaving and all.

Donna :hug::grouphug:

Donna,

That is a great moment --- when your husband likes his hours and his driving time.

And he brings you hot tea and breakfast. So beautiful.

Keep taking care.

M

My computer is needing some work. Its staying in South Bend. Hopefully
will have one next week through UPS Or Fed Ex.

So if I'm missing don't worry. I'll be back.

onna

Donna,

That shopping trip sounded like fun, and very fulfilling! :D:):cool:
Thanks for sharing! :):):hug:

I hope your husband's new workplace works out somehow.

The breakfast and tea sounded wonderful.
