WHEW! I am so tired! Mom and I went through all her old papers and mercy she had stuff in there from 1994! I smacked her with some papers and told her she needs to walk the hall of shame for holding on to so much junk. She just laughed at me. We also finished her taxes and whoops! She owes the state $423. She didn't have state taxes taken out. I called her disability peeps and they are sending the form to start taking them out. But she's getting back $950 from federal so it balances out.

Here she is going through the papers. This was at the end. She kept sighing over and over. Hahaha Look at those legs! She can sit that way at 65.



This is a 32 gallon garbage bag filled!

Hi everyone. Hope your ok. Just dropping in to say high while my meds kick in as its 1.26 am here. I'm trying to get more active and loose some weight never easy Tried the Atkins diet once cold never do it again to restrictive. Love you all. Jackie xxxxxxxxxxxx

Hi Everybody!

I worked today in the store and I was very nervous but I made two sales. I kept apologizing for being slow but both customers were very patient with me. Then I found that I gave both customers the signed credit card receipt and kept the other one.

But there was a lot to remember and I won't forget and do that again. I have people coming back in to see me in a day or two so hopefully I'll have more sales.

I'm the mom type in a store of 20-somethings and I think people just feel confident with a mom helping them sometimes. I keep letting them know how new, slow and nervous I am though, lol.

I love people though and it's a lot of fun.

I have jaw pain though, somehow I developed TMJ. I think it's from the facial exercises I was doing in trying to look younger for the new job. They work, but you can through your jaw out of alignment (I now know.)

I'm glad to be home with DH, DS and the kitties. I work the next two days then have Thursday off. Then I work the weekend and have two weekdays off next week.

Sox,

I hope you'll feel better soon.

Vonn,

Mind your liver levels girlie. But I'm glad you can get back on the Copaxone. Do you take acetaminophen? Drink alcohol now and then? Just thinking of the things I know that can raise those numbers. I hope it's nothing serious.

Way to go on the tax returns and the MBA progress!

Everybody,

Have a good Tuesday and I'll check in again when I can... Hugs all around...

Wiz ... my enzyme levels are still high ... and they didn't go down as much as they would of hoped with me being off of copax for a week .. so, I can go back on ...

and I don't take ace...-mine and haven't had a beer since .. uh ... September!

they don't know why - and it's not hepatitis, lupus or rheumatoid arthritis ... just added fibromyalgia ...

in the meantime, they have no idea WHY ... so, I'll be a test patient .. because they CT scanned me and biopsy'd me - and that all showed nothing!! I will not die of a liver disease ...

have another one of those headaches - light sensitivity ... glare ...

Sandy - ain't that great about the paper shuffle being over?? and LOL - I have ALWAYS sit like she does .. never could sit regular Indian-style!

Good morning everyone!

Sox - Hope you feel better soon!

Wiz - I am glad you are enjoying your job! You sound so happy and I think that is so awesome. Don't worry about making mistakes - we all make them when starting something new.

Vonn - Congrats on the MBA progress! How awesome is that. Hope they can resolve the liver issue soon and I'm glad you were able to go back on the C.

Sandy - Heck! I sit like that all the time. LOL j/k I do, however, sit Indian style when I'm on the floor. When I was in PT for the muscle spasms, the PT kept saying how limber and flexible I was. I don't know how with the muscles being stuck in the spams. My leg would only go so far and then stop.

Holly - 39 11/12ths - That's funny.

Jackie & TKTC - Good luck on the weight loss. DBF just went through that. He lost a lot of weight and looks fantastic; but it was really hard for him. Before he went on this crazy diet I reviewed other diets. Apparently the Biggest Loser diet is the best according to several nutritionists. I looked it over and it doesn't seem too bad. Just an idea for you both.

Hi everyone else! Thinking of you too!

Today I am going to finish up my homework, meet with Disabled Student Services to do my "accommodations," and await for dictation to come in as this is my busy time.

Have a great day everyone!

Good Morning! I'm so mad at myself this morning. I forced myself to stay awake last night so I could watch The Bachelor (I know....) and what did I do??? Fell asleep DURING the rose ceremony and didn't get to see who had to go home! Anybody know who went home?

I know, it's a ridiculous thing to get mad over but I was really hoping that one particular girl would make it till the end. Oh well, I'm sure it will be somewhere on the Internet today.

It rained here all night but has stopped now. I think we're supposed to have rain all week. I wish my grass would hurry up and turn green. I'm so tired of the "hay" color it becomes during winter.

Well, the coffee just finished perking so I'm gonna go get me a cup and watch TV for a while. Hopefully I can stay awake THIS time!!

Ya'll have a good Tuesday!

Kitty, he sent the virgin home. LOL I can't remember her name.

Morning all. I am taking mom to the neuro today and then some shopping. It's snowing but we're only getting 1-2 inches. That darn groundhog saw his shadow. Why do we keep torturing ourselves? hahaha

Barb, we're not voting. We wont complain since we're not voting but honestly we cannot decide who we want to vote for.

Wiz, have a good day at work!

Vonn, glad you can stay on the Copax. Hope you get a ton of tax jobs!

Holly and Trish, I know! I can't even sit that way!

Pam, Jim's on Beta too and his enzymes are fine so far.

Have a good day everyone.

Sandy - good to hear about what the doctor said about your mom .. when do you plan on moving her back?? in spring??

already done a bunch of returns ... don't know what day it is anymore - they all squish together now until mid-March .. then slam ... nothing for another 2 weeks .. then about 2-3 at the end ... and then I'll be looking to move with the tax $$ ...

yep - back on my shots! first day! love it! we'll see what the neuro says around Feb 17th when she gets back ... probably have to go for more blood - just refer to me as "Dracula's Candy" ...

Sandy, That is good news about your mom.

Vonn,

Finn....what were you doin' up at 2:30 AM?? Oh well, I was up, too.

It's a pretty, sunny day here today but that's gonna change real soon. We're forecast for cold rain and possible snow by Friday. It seems like Feb & March are the 2 months where we get the most winter precip.

I have to admit that I'm ready for Spring. NOT Summer.....just Spring. Temps that don't need the A/C or the heater. We'll get about 1 week of that. I dread the summer. I used to love it and was outside all the time.

My ON seems to be getting better day by day. I want to see how good my vision is to see if I can drive again. Maybe I'll take a spin around the neighborhood and see how it goes.

Anyone watch American Idol last night? It was okay.....didn't really see anyone exceptional. It seems they aren't showing as many of the good ones that get through.....except them coming out of the audition with a yellow ticket. Why don't they let us see them perform??? I didn't really need to see Bikini Boy!! Scary!!

Ya'll have a good Wednesday.
