I forgot to tell you that my mother lost her balance and fell down the stairs backward. She broke her collar bone and fortunately nothing else. She could have broke her neck.....
Started watching You-tube with jeff about quantum physics....very complicated.
My best friend is definitely moving to her parents in nashville tenn. When I don't know yet. She has to go to court 2 more times to finalize every thing.

Her soon to be ex is on house arrest to avoid going to jail. HIs mom is living with him so she will be not allowed to leave the house either. He was sentenced for internet child pornography.
She has an 11 year old girl.
So they are going to have to find someone to do their shopping for them etc. He doesn't have any friends so his dad may have to drive from mississippi to do the shopping. None of that is Nicoles problem! She is probably going to have a hysterectomy soon before she moves to tenn. as she will have to get insurance there. Her state insurance doesn't transfer.
I feel sorry for her and will miss her.

anyway.

You will be a busy woman!

There are other treatments for RLS you can explore if your pdoc won't work with you with the Klonopin (I would see you PCP about those options though). Seroquel can cause a similar side effect that I experience, but since you take a low dose and have a history of RLS, I highly doubt that's the culprit.

I hope that you were able to assert yourself and got to talk about the issue you wanted to at your pdoc appointment yesterday. She needs to realize that there are other things in your life going on aside from drinking

I know you will miss your friend
What a terrible situation for her and her daughter to be in. I'm sure she will face a lot of challenges by moving, but maybe getting some distance between them and that ***hole is what they need to move on right now

Thanks Kay.
I spoke with my friend and she is having an open house for other realtors to come in and see the house. Then Saturday she is heading up to nashville until the 20th, when she has doctors appointments.
Her parents have been here for 3 weeks and they are leaving sunday.
They helped her with the attorney and moving stuff of his out of the garage.
He is on House arrest with his mother. The dad will drive every couple of weeks to grocery shop for them as they can not leave the house. They finally have a phone that is clean and not able to access the internet so it is ok for them to have. He will go to federal prison for his internet child pornography.

My rosacea is back and I can't stop picking at it.
It looks awful again, It has been 5 years I think when I last had my flareup, diagnosis.
I feel fat and ugly....

thanks Mari.
My mother is wearing a sling that my DAd devised out of pretty fabric because the one they gave her hurt her neck. She is sleeping with it on as well.
My parents have had the health issues the past few weeks.
Dad injured his knee playing golf, cortizone shot seems to have helped quite a bit, hope it lasts! and now mom....
It is not easy getting older.
Mom is very very lucky to have not broken her neck...she could have died!

I'm sorry about your Rosacea, Bizi

You are not fat or ugly!!!

I went through a period where I had SEVERE acne from lithium, and din't want to leave the house either, so can understand the impact it can have on your self-esteem
I'm also a picker. I know it makes things worse, but I just can't help myself!!!

Do you have meds or a plan for flare ups?

Thanks kay,
I have gained even more weight....sigh
When will it stop? my work pants cut me at the waist and are so uncomfortable.
Going thru menopause sucks, am having hot flashes again.
I was taking an estrogen blocker but that did not seem to help.
Jeff gets back late tonight. I was on the computer late until 1am.
Then could not get up to go to the UU fellowship to meet my girlfriend there for a 1030am service. Got out of bed a little bit ago.
Working on my second cup of coffee.
Work was fine yesterday....it was a normal work day traveling here and there.
Next weekend is my out of town assisted living day where I will see many folks in the same location.(then I will get my oatmeal) And then I work sunday also, then a normal work week. Going on vacation for 2 weeks leave me with trying to see 40 clients before and after the trip to see everyone.
Thank goodness I love my job!

I am still in pajamas. Got up late, missed Unitarian services.
A friend called me to ask me over for dinner: cook out chicken and pool.
Yikes....getting into my new bathing suit...I look pregnant.
My rosasea is back with a vengeance, bumps and pimples on my face, wore make up for the past few days to hide the redness. It looks terrible.
It was 96 here yesterday so don't know what it is today.
I am also having hot flashes again....
My husband will be back tonight from his trip up north to visit a friend.
I am so glad she called and invited me....now I have something to do. I need to pick up a fruit salad....should do some paperwork as I am not ready for my work day /week for tomorrow.

Saw my cousin a bit this evening. He is a flight attendant. He and hubby went out to dinner and then came to my friends house for a visit. It was good to see him.
My friends house is beautiful and we had great bbq chicken and wonderful baked beans and cucumber salad and fruit salad. The pool was very refreshing as it was was so hot today 96 with a heat index of 106!
I wore sun screen and a big hat. I wore make up to cover my rosacea and it did not melt off thank goodness. I am still picking at it....sigh

I'm glad that you got to sleep in and spend some time hanging out in your P.J.'s yesterday. You won't get a day off for a while

It's nice that you got to spend time with your friends and cousin this weekend. BBQ's can be a lot of fun.

I think it's time to buy new scrubs. If you buy the ones with draw strings, you can always wear them later when you lose weight. I've always bought unisex Medium. How roomy they are depends on how heavy I am (I still wear them around the house), but they've always been comfy. They still look neat if they are a bit big if they are ironed and are at least a 50/50 blend.

If you are using a foundation a water-based one vs. and oil-based one is less likely to aggravate your rosacea
