Weekend Check in Thread: Friday, June 12, 09 Hello.
 

Hello,

I want to wrap up everyone here in blankets of comfort and hope.

M.

sounds good
 

Thank you dear Mari.

What a lovely thought.

I'm signing up for one of your wonderful blankets.

Remember to include one for yourself too, now! ;)

~ waves ~

well I wrapped up in one of your blankets and sat and read my oparah magazine for hours which I never do.
I felt so decadent, does anyone else feel guilty for this?
How about just reading for enjoyment? non-work related materials, feel like you should be doing something more "productive".
just curious????
me....who just took a shower and got ready for the day....uhm its 5pm:rolleyes:
mind you I have a stack of these magazines at my bed side un read and I felt guilty for spending money on them and then not reading them...funny how I feel guilty on both sides of this picture...guilty when I read them, guilty when I don't read them...lol:Bang-Head:

Well, as I sat outside in my Snuggie I thought of your wish Mari and it brought a warm feeling and content feeling to sit look at the trees, by beautiful roses that are blooming again.

Then it started to rain and lightning so I had to come in.
I will have to share the new pic's

Everyone have a great start of the summer weekend.(if we could get out of the 60's, and rain pattern.

Thank you Mari. Di, I love roses. I bet they are georgeous.

I've worked on online surveys tonight and had a nice chat with Di. Earlier today I went out to my favorite restuarant and then to meet some friends out to lunch.

Sounds like a nice day barbara!
we went to the art walk downtown and met up with some friends and spontaniously went to get some margaritas and had a very nice time just visiting. It was very nice and casual.
no anxiety

My DD cats I am taking care of, I guess my Grandkitties

Scarlet Begonia and Dehlilah Jones, from the Greatful Dead i am told.

Love a cold drink from the faucet to leave me lots of hair to wipe down everyday.

The boy Samson, was hiding from the lightning....I have a sky light in this bathroom and they love to lay on the floor, the tub and the sink.....

Nice pics Di. thank for sharing.

Having a snoozy sorta sunday here
 

i took some extra En this morning - figure on doing that for a while - to keep my anxiety level in check and prevent more nasty anxiety attacks like the recent ones. Weeeeelll.... i ended up snoozing this afternoon. Shoulda taken just .5 instead of 1mg. :rolleyes: it's hot here today. i bet that didn't help. we have an oscillating fan on a stand, but no AC. it's not as humid as in FL thought.

this morning i also took pix of some of my mom's cacti but i don't know where my photoshop install CD is so i can't work with them on this computer... argghhh. i think the CD is still packed... in the garage, actually... double arrrrrgghhhhhh. :rolleyes:

DiMarie, those kitties are sooo cool. Great pictures. love those natural poses. you mentioned cooler weather there, but if it is warm inside i'm thinking the cats like those surfaces to help them cool off. apart from the faucet, lol. And your roses are just gorgeous. thank you for sharing all these pix.

Beth, i am too lazy (honest) right now to reach over and grab the bird book which is bookmarked to the page of that hawk we looked up. i promise prommmmisssse i willllllll post it later. right now i'm still trying to get both eyelids propped all the way back open with a glass of iced coffee. it's not exactly yumm it needs more sugar but i'm too lazy to fix it... it will "work" anyway. glad you guys had a good time out yesterday.

Barbara, sounds like yesterday was a good day... glad you got out. i hope you're holding out ok today. Sending you some anxiolytic hugs.

Mari, our comfort and hope weaver, how are you??? Did you perchance get your cornea glued to that brand new HDTV of yours, or somethin? :p

Give us a shout... (or a whisper, if you prefer).

~ waves ~

Hi,

The HDTV / DTV stuff doesn't work as well as promised. I might give up TV -- the technology is all so annoying -- when my siblings and I were teenagers we didn't have tv and we did fine.

I have to remember to get to the pharmacy before 6:00 pm. They no longer have 24 hour service.

Oh and I started a diet -- first few days hang around apt, sleep, drink water, get used to carefully monitoring food, and pay attention to body hunger signals (tdoc says hunger is good -- means diet is working -- she has longer version -- that is the gist).

more kitty pictures
 

here are some leaping kitty pictures you can see hattie looks like a skunk! lol...of course you can click on them to open them up to a larger picture.
beth

Thank you Mari. I need to get back on my diet too.

Waves, thank you too. I hate those days of sleepiness.

I am getting things done around my apartment today. I've got to get ready to move in a week if I can get it set up in time. I'm putting papers in different big brown envelopes to file them away kind of. I cleaned out some in my fridge and took out 2 bags of trash. I have a whole chiken in the oven and I feel as though I could eat the whole thing when it's done.

I have a new interest in a guy and I think he likes me also. I met him in the restuarant I hang out in. He's a regular in there. He hugged and kissed me on the check when he left this past week. I hope to see him this week. I told a friend to tell him I like him cause I don't want to be rubbing our flirting around little Bill whom I've been out with a few times. Little Bill is really crazy about me but all I wanted was to be his friend. It's a sticky situation. Little Bill is not the the Bill I talked about last week. That one was Big Bill and him and I are okay as neigbhors again.

Beth, thanks for the pics.

crashing out
 

i'm crashing out for the night.... i'm so zoooooonnnnned. :Zzzz::Zzzz::Zzzz:

it is so darn hot and stuffy here. i am afraid to turn the fan up more because it might raise dust or something. i took an antihistamine because all the windows are open too... but that is not always enough if there are a lot of allergens. i don't want to wake up puffy-eyed and itchy sneezy scratchy throated in a few hours. :o sigh. and summer is only beginning.

i sooooooooo miss central air conditioning. :( heck... even a ceiling fan.... :Sigh:

Hey Beth, love your Flying Hattie pix... thank you!!! She looks too patchy to be a skunk though. more of a cow pattern... what are those kinds of cows called? The patchy Vermont kind that are on Ben & Jerry's containers and stuff.
:confused:

anyway.... y'all have a good evening.

nite nite

~ waves ~ will stop whining now and wind down instead. ;)

Waves, I wish you had air conditioning. I hardly ever open my windows due to allergies.

barbara

Beth,
Thanks for the cat pictures. The cats are cute.


Barbara,
It sounds like you have big plans to get a lot done. Good luck with that.


Waves,
I hope that you sleep and wake up feeling good despite the weather and the open windows.

=-=-=-=-
I stayed home today and felt rested because of that.
Tomorrow is tdoc.
. . . big week with lots of appointments.

M.

good morning
 

Thanks Barbara. :) Air conditioning is a relative novelty in these parts, and central air in apartments is ... hah! grrrr. :mad: good reason to call this the Old World.

Mari, i am glad you felt rested yesterday and i hope your tdoc appointment goes well today. Look forward to hearing back - when you are up to it. Keep taking it easy. One day at a time.

i woke up not-too-stuffed-up and only a bit puffy-eyed (it will go down), although my throat is sore still from yesterday. :rolleyes: i am still zonked though, i have had my coffee and i just want to sleep more.... :Sigh: (and I slept plenty!) i only took .5 mg of En this morning (and it wouldn't have affected me yet, lol)...

i am going to continue taking extra En in the morning for a while... at least until i am used to the Wellbutrin, since the anxiety attacks started even before the Wellbutrin but the latter could, if anything, worsen them. En is a very long-acting benzo and should just help keep my anxiety down. which is better than spazzing out and eating gobs of lorazepam which causes peaks and troughs, and is ultimately more addictive if used too often.

well off i go to have a dull day... ahhh, so positive am i, eh?

:grouphug:

~ waves ~

waves I hope you day is stress free for you.
off I go late for work again.....
