Sox . What a tragedy. Your friend and her family are in my prayers.

I slept in until 10:30 AM today! Been up for a while......DS stopped by to get some things he didn't take when he moved out. He was telling me that he's been offered a position at another police agency and he's considering it. It's more money but he'd have to start over (seniority wise). He's been at the agency he's currently at for almost seven years. He knows the Sergeant over the Special Operations section of this other agency and thinks it may be a better position for him. Whatever he decides to do I just want him to be safe.

We're supposed to get rain tonight, all day tomorrow and possibly some sleet and snow. The grocery stores will be a madhouse today. Just the mention of the "S" word throws people into a panic. Gotta get bread and milk! Those are the first two items to go. I tell you what.....if I'm stuck indoors for any length of time I'm going to want something else....not bread and milk!

I need to get busy doing something productive. Ya'll have a nice afternoon!

I've read everyone's news. Hugs, prayers for everyone.

Yesterday DH had some great news for me and today it is my turn. Thanks to information from him, the non profit I work for is getting several refurbished computers for free. We desperately needed one and we are getting more. All free!!! Awesome!

I know there are counters in my kitchen 'cause they are holding up way too many wash by hand dishes. Time to find the counters under the mess.

Barb have a safe and wonderful trip!!

Sox, sorry for the family you know... this is always a hard time of year (no time is best but) hard time to lose someone... prayers for the family and her cancer.


hugss to all, made some cut out cookie dough today between holiday kid shows... and about to head to ones basketball game... day off too full!!

well wishing you all wonderful days till the Baby Christ's Birthday! love you all, sarah

Good afternoon, all.
Sox, such heartbreaking news about both people...you know prayers are being sent.

Kelly, you sure have had your share of precipitation...guess your prayers are being overanswered from the drought you all had...stay dry!

Got my CPAP machine this afternoon. The nurse explained all of the ins and outs of it, but after he left, darn if I couldn't remember how to turn the darn thing off...should I leave it unplugged, or is there a magic button to push to stop it? I have to go over the pamphlets later before bedtime. Great memory at the top of my spine

Hope all of you have a wonderful Thursday evening!!

Hey all! Just got home from taking mom to the doctor. He's referring her to a neuro and assured her they will make sure she's taken care of. She was nervous about her meds but he told her not to be. He wouldn't give her any "nerve" pills. hahaha He looked my way and I shook my head no. He agreed and told her they could interact with her Dilantin anyway. He said to talk with the neuro and he is the best person to prescribe them if she needs them. I agreed because I don't think her old docs were looking at any interactions.

Anyway, we also shopped at Walmart and let's just say we got out of there with no one getting hurt. lmao

Sox, HUGE I am sooooo sorry.

Hey gang!

I been napping a lot these days. I can't seem to keep from overdoing and end up crashing about 4pm everyday. I'm trying to declutter and clean. I had a dentist appt on Wednesday and followed that up with shopping since I was out. Today I had a couple of small errands to do... come 4pm I had to find a place to lay down.

Barb, have a safe trip!

Sox, sorry about your friend ... my prayers going out for her and her daughter.

Sandy, I have to smile... you sound just like my sis-in-law in dealing with her mom, except they are dealing with Alzheimers. Med mix ups are the biggest struggle they have. It is so hard for them to give up independence and admit they need to be cared for. Sis-in-law has been creative in giving her power over somethings and keeping her in the dark over others....mainly in taking the car keys away and protecting her finances.

Debbie, I hope the CPAP works great for you!

hugs to all!

Hey! Where is everyone this morning?

Sandy - Glad you made it through the store without any 2-year old temper tantrums. LOL I am NOT a shopper; never have been. I am glad the dr is going to work with your mom on her meds, referrals, etc. Maybe she will get better quality of care now that she is with you.

Debbie - How did you sleep last night? Do you feel more rested after doing the CPAP? I know a few people who use them and rave about how well they felt after the 1st night or so of using it. I truly hope the same is true for you.

Barb - Hope you have a great trip!

Kitty - Were you thinking chocolate? LOL Hope the "S" doesn't hit you and the weather people are wrong.

Hi everyone else! Thinking of you too and hoping you all are well.

I am meeting up with a friend of mine this morning. Just looked at the time and I really need to get going.

Have a great day everyone!

Hi all...
Well, I am kind of confused about this CPAP thing...during the night, water built up in the mask, and the machine was gurgling as it pushed the air into the mask. So DH reached over and stretched out the hose so that the moisture could go back into the water chamber.
Still can't get the thing to turn off by switch... so I have to dig down and pull the plug. And turns out there are no instructions for the machine, only for the mask. I'll be making the call to the company today...

So, my kids always laugh when they recall something I said randomly this summer. I had read an article about how robots will be infiltrating our world, and it theorized that we may become humanoids.
So,we were sitting around on the patio, and I said, "Someday there will be robots." They all burst out laughing, and now they say it just to get everyone going again...
Anyway, this morning I read an editorial about trends predicted for the next decade. The George Washington Forecast Thinktank predicted that we'll see "smart robots used in homes and factories."
Needless to say I emailed all those smart aleckey kids and showed them what a psychic I am...

Have a wonderful Friday, my friends...

I'm stressing this morning... The house just down the block from us was broken into yesterday morning. They took electronics and guns. Our small neighborhood gets a lot of traffic on bulk trash days...people looking for castoffs they can use or sell. Whoever did this has been casing the place...they knew exactly when the mom would not be home.

I've got a doctor appt this afternoon and now I'm worried about leaving home! Guess I'll leave lights on so it will look like someone is home.

Pam, call your local police department and voice your concerns. Tell them you're afraid to leave your home and ask if they can send extra patrol cars to your area.....especially during the time you're not home.

It's such a shame that people feel like they have to steal what others have worked hard for.
