HI,

I overslept my acupuncture appointment. Oh well.

My girlfriend is coming over to help me a little with the boxes and clothes in my bedroom.
I got hubby to mop some of the floors.


My wrist is bothering me so I might stay off the computer a little.
But I'll be here I think.

Hi Bizi and my dearest friends,
I went back to sleep for a nap, but I did have some sun shine today, Washed the towels, toilets, (3 of them) loaded the dishwasher, sort jeans to wash and my back gave out.

I had a call about holiday meal plans, and the kids so I stopped in my tracks, took an Ativan to calm my heart and came one here while drinking my coffee.

I feel much better.

I was able to resolve the real estate tax mediation hearing for Monday. Last minute I was looking for my document, had everything together, for some reason my copy of the formal assesment that cost $$$$ was missing. The apraiser retired to Mexico, the assessors office that had the original for safe keeping, can't locate it in a huge warehouse of 29,000 other appeals in crates,

How did they expect to hold a hearing? THe best part, the hearing master canceled the hearing two weeks ago because I died....:eek:
He read my sister in laws passing and cancelled the hearing for the family to get counsel and prepare for it....

When I called his secretary put him on the phone, He said he thought he was having a very long distance phone call. I then figured out, he did not know two of us had an unsually name, but I did not call to cancel my hearing so he never should have.

He then asked if we could take care of it over the phone. We came to a somewhat better agreement, the lowered the appraised price over $75,000.
The lot, he lowered $25,000.
THe best part was the reduction in anxiety! It is done and over with! If the amount is still too high, then I can appeal......
The huge relief off my chest, but triggered a huge migrain I had to work hard to get rid of.

Have an appointment this week with neuro and tell him that the maxmalt stuff did not work..
I have something else, treximed or something....I never took before and am leary about it.

Right now, it is freezing out, down to 19* last night, and up too late to do yard work. Tomorrow I do want to get the lights out for holidays.
I do not do much anymore, on roof, but I will get the windows and some things in the yard out..
The diary of my weekend as I procrastinate.

Bizi, I could not delete the Cafe, I keep food going for 12 hours or a day for Katie to have coins and remodle the cafe, in Yoville , I put cupcakes in for a day, that adds up and Katie gets to buy clothes and make the bedroom girly girl.....
Not huge into it, just there. Never did Farmville.

Wish all a sunny Sunday and special moments,
di

Sorry about your wrist. I you can wear a brace that works great. I have one myself. Now my friend is borrowing it herself for work because she is on the computer a lot. I hope you feel better.

Today I felt light headed and crappy first thing in the morning. Then after that around noon I was like weak jittery and light headed as well. I just did not feel good and I had to clean guest rooms. So I kept working and I was bumping into stuff. It really sucked lol I think it was because I accidently forgot to take my lamictal the night before. So I just took it after looking for it in my room. It was in my back pack the whole time like it was suppose too. It's just I did not dig enough. My excema has been itchy lately and showers is horrid for it because of the itchyness. I am exhausted as can be and my forehead is warm Possible fever. I get them because of my bipolar. I feel really anxious and I kind of feel like crying too for no reason. I wish I can be normal. I am glad I took my meds because i will be feeling better soon. I am laying in bed which is my favorite place to be playing my animal crossing game. :) I hope I feel better so because I have to work tommorow. Tommorow I hope is an easy day because today was rough. I have to say I am one tough girl. I thank God Monday i am off.

Dear Sharla,
It sounds like today was rough.
I hope that you feel better soon. Tomorrow will be better.

It was a beautiful day here. And is supposed to be nice tomorrow.

Supposed to be the last I think this weekend. So will enjoy it.
I also think its nice that its not raining. Thank goodness.

Derrick and Dad did some raking this weekend. And Derrick went
raking for the elderly, and he also went to a cookout.

Yellowfever 11-07-2009 11:16 PM

Oh my goodness i love the theatre! have you ever thought of taking actinig classes? It is so fun! :hug:

What play did you see?

Mari 11-08-2009 02:38 AM

Dear Waves,

It sounds like you are getting unnecessary input.
It's hard to deal with that kind of stuff -- esp about food.
I hope that you can take it easy.

Isis 11-08-2009 04:32 AM

Good thread Bizi ...
 
I'll get to read what I've managed to get done.

Today is Sunday here.

So yesterday - not well enough even to have a shower in the morning.
Watched the news - usual bickering with teenage daughter - lunch of an apple, one toast with peanut butter and black current jam and a half portion of caramel custard, two squares of dark chocolate with walnut.
I can't eat anything with a sharp taste or aroma when I am like this.
-Read.
-Napped.
-managed a shower.
-Watched Djokovitch and Federer go into the semis at the Basel ATP tournament. News.
-Surfed the web for more news and a few features that I am interested in (at least my brain should be as well oiled as I can possibly keep it)
-Turned down a couple of chances to meet friends. :Sigh:
-Felt a sense of achievement when I was able to genuinely say that I was NOT miserable.
-Dinner was similar to lunch - a slice of ham instead of the caramel custard.
-Blogged till late.
-Read again.

I suppose a sense of achievement is relative. :rolleyes:

Today will probably be similar.

Yellowfever 11-08-2009 08:08 AM

bed is too comfy. I have to work. Oh blarg lol. ok I am up hurray!

hugs

Hi waves

DiMarie 11-08-2009 02:47 PM

Mothers and daughters are the most complicated issue in life. Women are powerful and want to be their own voice, but we need someone to love and admire us in our mothers. Mothers want us to live their life as they plan it and control it,

I wish peace for your heavy soul. We can not sleep when the mind is filled with clutter.

Sorry to go on and on, but maybe for my own heart too I had to take this trip.
Do you like puzzles to put together? I can remember every section being completed of the old time Coke Cola one we did.

Now Katie and I should put one on the table and work on it,
Di :hug:
Edited long story short

bizi 11-08-2009 03:07 PM

Dear Di,
I am so sorry that you had to endure abuse as a child and then as an adult form your mother.
It sounds as though you have made your peace and can look back upon some memories that were not traumatizing. It is amazing how we can change our focus of remembering as we get older. They say that time heals wounds....I sure hope that is true.
Glad that you are comfortable with us here to share these stories with us.
thank you
(((((HUGS)))))
bizi

Mari 11-08-2009 05:36 PM

Dear Di,

I don't even know how to respond. This is hard to have a mother like that.
I'm glad you posted.

I like the picture of you and Katie doing a puzzle together on the table.

Mari 11-08-2009 05:41 PM

hubby
 
Hi,
I haven't been able to sleep at night and I work in the day.
Sat I didn't sleep much.
Today was the first day in a week I got some sleep.

Hubby woke me up.
I have no idea what he was thinking.
I told him as clearly as possible that he is not to wake my up.
'Told him this before but he needs reminding apparently.
Then he got annoyed at me.

I have a long book I need to read. Then I'll make sure I have something more or less clean to wear tomorrow to work. Sad.

It has been very hard for me to manage.
He needs to be more on my team.
I'm not happy with him right now.

M.

Dmom3005 11-08-2009 06:34 PM

DI hugs, and I am sure it took lots of courage to share what you did.
I want to say thank you.


Not sure what to think, I seemed to need to sleep all day. Will have
trouble sleeping tonight. Oh well, just life.

Get to go on the radio tomorrow for my work. Not sure how much
I'll enjoy this. But wont be alone, so that will help.

Donna:grouphug:

bizi 11-08-2009 10:11 PM

OMG mari,
I can't believe he woke you up!
~sigh

Mari 11-09-2009 01:48 AM

Bizi,
We talked.
I'm calmer now.
I tried to impress upon me that he needs to let me sleep.

Donna,
The radio show might be fun.
I hope it goes well.

Isis 11-09-2009 02:01 AM

Monday morning here
 
So weekend is officially over.

Di, I am also coping with the Mother Daughter issue now. How right you are about it being a complicated issue. :eek:

I hope it is at a better level now. Mine changes minute to minute. :rolleyes:

Oh Mari, I hope you are OK now and that you have managed to catch up on your sleep.

Which book have you been reading?

Mari 11-09-2009 02:15 AM

Dear Isis,

I've read read less than 25% of Milan Kundera's Immortality.
I was supposed to read it with a student who has a research paper on it.
I pretended to read it. But now she has to present the paper to other people with me. I am going to make a weak excuse to schedule to presentation next week because I am not ready this week.
The student is ready but the teacher is not.

The mother daughter stuff is tremendously complicated.
I don't have children but I can empathize.


I hope that you have good week and continue to do what your body tells you.

M.

My step mother controlled me a lot. She did it because she loves me too much. She still tries to control once in a while. But she doesn't mean too. She just wants the best for me even though i am a grown adult :) That is understandable. I love her now that I have a better understanding of where she is coming from but the hurt is still there a little. But in time it will heal over.
She is going to have a cow when i get married to my boyfriend LOL
REBEL!:D

I am glad to hear all went well Donna,
Radio is a lot harder then tV when what comes out is it, no edit, On TV interviews they take a ton of info and edit it down to minutes.
Good for you and sharing what you had to say with others
Di

Dmom3005 11-09-2009 10:59 PM

Luckily this one wont air till the weekend. So they will get to edit it.

That is good for us.
