It's weekend time again...

Does anyone have any plans that I can live vicariously through???

My plans consist of breathing... may not do much more than that... no one is here.. I'm alone until the 20th...

I can't go anywhere as I still don't have my car back from the body shop...they keep telling me maybe tomorrow...

It's raining here today so I can't even go sit on the deck.

To anyone in the south that is being affected by yIKEs... please be careful. That's one big powerful dude.

for all...

Hi, Abbie,

How are you feeling?
Do you really have a deck to sit out on when the weather is good? That sounds nice.

My weekend will be catching up on work and sleep.
Mostly.
And following the weather reports about IKE.

I'm Hear. I'm hanging in there. I can't help but worry about my future,and I keep wondering about this strange alienation in my family. I cannot get it out of my head,and I'm worried about the SSD thing. No one is telling me anything,so I'm sweating things out. BF

Hi Mari!
Yes, I have a deck that's about 12ft by 25 ft.. on the front of the house.. I helped my dad build it about 7 years ago--before I got injured. It has two small cafe tables with chairs and a nice bench. There's an umbrella that sits in the corner that shelters about 2/3rds of the deck when it's sunny out... we have a HUGE tree that provides great shade also. I like to sit out there and do nothing or read or sometimes I sit there with my laptop and play games.


Hi Friend!
I'm so sorry to hear you are still struggling. I completely understand your fears. I live with my parents and I'm waiting for them to once again tell me I need to get out on my own... this has happened quite a few times. I have done everything I can to be independent... I have applied for SSDI but like you I am still waiting... almost 2 years now. I was able to get food stamps but was denied medicaid. The state is helping me with my Tdoc and Pdoc... it's a sliding scale and I pay less than $10 a visit.


OH... My car is fixed and sitting in my parents garage. I say fixed.. it looks great, runs great... but I don't have any dash lights and my head lights are more like search light...they are pointed to the sky.

I'm not planning on going anywhere even though I have the car... It's rainy here and I am to frightened still to drive very far.

Hi Bizi!!

What movies did you get???

I know... I've been glued to the news and weather channel.... I can't believe all that didn't evacuate too...

Very few places on Galveston Island are above 20ft and they are calling for waves that big. I fear for those there.

Houston may not fair so well either... they are talking about the winds and saying that windows in the highrise buildings will be blown out.

Prayers going up for all in the path...

[Abbie]

My lips are sealed...

Those sound like good movies... it's been so long since I've seen a new movie...

Hmmm... maybe I'll head out tomorrow and check out the movie rental box at McDonalds... can rent a new release for a buck.

Stay safe Bizi... radar doesn't look too inviting in your neck of the woods...

My sis is starting to stress surrounded by her in-laws. Three of the sisters in law are dx'd with variations of bipolar or schizophrenia. She can't deal with them when she feels like an evacuee.

Tonight when sis and I were talking she said that her cell phone battery was almost out. What happened to the plan about bringing the phone chargers with you?


She's tripping and wants to go home.

Storm eye is hitting the coast now I think.

BF, I hope that you will get some relief to all your worries. I can imagine how maddening it must be.

Mari, in-laws - well you know how I stand on them. This last guy I saw has the sweetest mom ever that I miss but he was toxic to me.

Bizi, I hope you'll be alright.

Abbie, I can relate to not wanting to drive far as I'm like that.


I was feelilng like I was getting symptoms so I increased my loxatane this past week. As a result I am really sleepy today. At least I'm calm as a cucumber.
