10/9/09 Friday thread
 

Hi everyone, Its time for the weekend again. Not sure I'm ready for
one. I've done nothing but sit around all week.

But I feel better most of the time. Had a headache all day yesterday.
And have been trying to help a local special education district resolve
a complaint before it goes to investigation. Because there really isn't
any complaint. And the parent will just be even more upset.

The principal did make a mistake and needs to own up to it. So hopefully
after the assistant director and my talk this morning that will happen. And
then the complaint can be withdrawn. I just hope so.


I am going for my massage in a little while. And then I think I'll go out to
lunch.

I am supposed to be back to work from 12 to 3 at home. But I put in a hour
early talking to parent and assistant. So I can goof off a little.

Donna

Hi Donna,

I'm starting to get a headache also lately. I never get them unless I have a sinus infection. I hope I'm not getting my sinus infection back. I hope your headache goes away.

I'm not sure what I'll do this weekend yet. I'd like to do something though.

Glad you are starting to feel better Donna, i hope it keeps up. I hope your intervention with the parent/complaint thing works out.

i hope you feel better Barbara.

i had a headache today too - i think from catching cold in the neck area though. it wasn't a migraine. ibuprofen took care of it anyway.

i got my job application in finally. i am not holding my breath tho since the ad was long gone.

in the next few days i need to get on the search engine to look for more ads, and send out more applications... i saw one for translators i could try for, and there are a probably a few more development jobs out there since i last looked.

i am thinking about cancelling therapy for this week... and tell him i will call when i am ready to go in. he got me upset last time. i have a hard time getting over upsetness and i told him that too, the time before. well, it is still true and i am still upset about this last session.

i am feeling sorta bummed out and cruddy like. nothing major. i know i am still "recovering" from the wellbutrin because i seem to need like 9 hours of sleep per day. at least for the past 2 nights i have FINALLY slept somewhat solid and not woken up every hour or so.

i hope someone has better prospects for the weekend. here even the weather is dreary. just all grey and stuff.

I was supposed to go to a BIG reunion at my old high school this weekend... BUT... those plans are most likely not going to happen.

I've had a "cold" for the last week or so... found out yesterday that it's the flu... Today I found out it's Type A---aka---H1N1. (They are calling all Type A --- H1N1.)

Feel like an elephant is sitting on my chest... this all started with a headache, fever, then a cough. Now it's an elephant sitting on my chest and my head is stuffed up... and everything I eat---shows up again one way or another.

My anxiety has been through the roof and I've been debating with myself all week as whether to go or not... This Reunion is supposed to be really BIG... I wanted to go as a couple of wonderful people from my past have signed up to go also. In the same breath... I didn't want to go.

I may go in for the lunch hour break, which is a social time and tour of the facilities time, providing I don't have a fever and am not coughing. (Doc said this would be ok as I really shouldn't be contagious at that point.)

Other than that... it's birthday weekend around here for my littlest nieces... they turned 3 this week. I most likely won't go see either one of them either... can't risk getting them sick at all!!!!

Well... I've rambled enough...
Hope everyone has a GREAT weekend!
:hug:
Abbie

Hi Waves and Abbie. I hope both of you feel better.

Waves, I'm proud of you for doing so well with looking for work. With your determination you should find a job.

Abbie, I hope you will be able to get out to the reunion if all is okay.

I found out my headache was because my blood pressure was high. I feel better now after taking my medicine. This whole mess with the people at Hanks and the Jehovah wittnesses today has me so upset.

barbara

Dear Abbie,
May your flu ease up and be short lived.

=-=-=

And for those with headaches, may your head be right.

I'm really wound up and want to feel ok.
The night meds didn't make much of a dent. Maybe I could take a little more.

M.

wow...
 

it sounds like we are all feeling ughhh for one thing or another! :(

i hope we all feel better soon! :grouphug:

good luck getting to the reunion Abbie, and i hope you get over that nasty flu completely soon.

i hope you can find an efficacious dose for your night meds Mari. :o

Barbara, glad you found out the cause of your headache and are better. I would call my determination more like desperation but i still need to be more proactive than i am/have been, to be successful. the market is not good. Anyway, thank you, i do appreciate the vote of confidence. :) Try not to get the Jehovah Witnesses get to you... i mean, what the heck do they know. they are just people like you and me, and who are they to judge anyone. if they do, THEY have a problem, not you. them and the badmouthing one. tshhh! :cool:

~ waves ~

Hi Waves, desperation can create determination. Thank you for the warm thoughts. I got an email from one of the Jehovah Witnesses today saying he hoped he didn't offend me. I wrote him back that I was very offended. I also told him how offended I was by the lady with him that knows the ones in Hanks. I feel much better now having to spoke my mind. Bobby said, "well, of course you were offended," when I told him about what the email said from the Jehovah witness.

Barbara

Dear Barbara,
Mark his email as spam and set your email so you don't see it anymore --he'll email you back soon. Block him before he shows up in your in box again.

I would not engage anyone that bothered me.

Focus on contacts that are good for you.

M.

Hi Mari,

He's usually a very nice man. I just think he made a mistake in behavior which everyone can do. I do not like to block people from contacting me from just one incident.


barbara

I am sorry for those of you who are ill and not feeling right....it is hard being bipolar and have illnesses that effect us/ our bodies as well.
((((((HUGS))))))
to those in need....
WAves I am glad that you slept well.

WE are going to an art walk this evening, the festival acadiens et creoles today was fun but rained a bit. WE actually danced a cajun waltz for a minute or two...wore me out!
I want to share some of the water colors that I painted this week.
small little pieces but I am having fun painting again. It has been so long.

Beautiful pictures Bizi.

vapor clouds

Bizi,

Very nice. I am glad to see you doing something you enjoy. I hope that I can go to my floral design class on Tuesday. I missed last Tuesday cause of my cough.

watercolors
 

i really liked the vapour clouds, Bizi. i found in it a simple "eloquence" if that can be said of a... painting? ok well i couldn't think of better word right now.

and i thought the birdy was cute. in that one i liked the expression - sort of cheeky, i thought... or should i say "cocky?" :D

i do oils - or rather - i used to. nowadays i do not paint any more even though still have all my stuff... for who knows when i will be able to again.

i admire your ability to do watercolor - especially because i can't do it worth squat! i have tried doing watercolor and i just make blotchy messes... i just don't seem to get it!

YOU keep up the good work! :)

~ waves ~

Wow! Glad I got to checking on this thread, I love your paintings Beth! Wonderful work! :D

Mom came over today, it's her birthday, and she brought Wendy's over instead of us going out to meet her, we're still trying to find a routine that can work for us. ANd today was awesome! I showed her the video of that man walking with the Helix Hip, and the C-Leg knee and she nearly cried. We saw another woman, double amputee just above the knee and she walked great after they taught her how to use the knees. :)

It's still all I can think about...LOL!! I know ONE track mind. LOL! GLad it's monday tomorrow and one more day closer to the 20th. :D

Dear Bizi,
I like the water colors.
Enjoy painting again. :)
