TGIF!!!

I only have one more class to go, and then I am free for one week. I have even caught up with all of my grading. I am pretty wiped out this morning. I had book club last night and did not get home until 10:30 and into bed until after 11:00. So a nap is definitely in store for me later this afternoon. I'm planing to decorate my house this weekend.

Sandy -- Hope the pt and shot help Jim. I tore my rotator cuff many years ago (in my wild 20s), and it was really painful.

Vonn -- Have you tried baclofen for the pain in your leg? It does not work for me, but it does seem to help alot of people.

Pam, Ugh! UTI! hoping it clears up soon!

Dej -- I was going to say that you should not answer the door, but then your friends would probably call the police. You could put a sign on your door. "I do not need any company today. Thanks for thinking of me!:rolleyes:"

Hope everyone else is doing ok. Now I need to pretend like I am working.:rolleyes:

Hi all...read all your posts, but frankly not in the mood to respond...read my thread about furbaby..you'll understand.

:grouphug::grouphug: for all who need them

Debbie, :hug::hug::hug:

~~~~~~

Let's see...went to the gym the other night and slowly recovering from my workout. Went to the dentist yesterday and the infection is still hanging out. See him again Monday since one of the teeth it's next to is an old crown and he wants to make sure nothing's gotten in under there.

Fun, fun, fun

Just puttering around otherwise :)

Take care everyone. :grouphug::grouphug:

I had a sign on the door saying "please be quiet. Debbie is napping. Call later if you wish to chat or visit." I decided to not answer two phone calls from a cell phone from another state. Well, that was a mistake. I was happily painting away, and KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK! I am not fast to the door, so I hear what sounds like someone breaking down my door. I yelled out "HANG ON, im coming!" and the noise stopped. I opened the door and ...its the cops! my friend Jim said he received no less than 3 calls from out of towners who were worried about me. Asked if he could come check on me. As we were talking two friends pulled up in the drive. OMG! :eek:

I quit. I give up. its an open house now. I have food cooking, and movies playing. I cant beat um, so I might as well join um. I am not 12, I am not retarded, and I dont need a keeper, but clearly its upsetting to my friends, and inlaws if I take a break and hide. its a beautiful day, I have opened the doors, windows, and put out the welcome sign. maybe if I employ the opposite strategy they will not bump against my resistance and feel the need to push against it. Sheesh! I just wanted to paint my cabinets, watch a chick flick and lay around in my pjs! I quit! Put out the white flag already. :o

:hug: Debbie :hug: I read your other post......so sorry for your loss. :(

I have been very busy today. Didn't intend to do all this but once I got started I just sort of kept going. I made a big batch of hamburger/sandwich buns to freeze. Did two loads of laundry. Mixed up pizza sauce so it can sit in the fridge and "blend". Colored my hair/took a shower. Yakked on the phone for probably 2 hours. I am pooped!

I have an eye doctor appointment tomorrow morning. I don't know if it's just me getting older or the damage from the ON I had earlier this year but my vision is just not what it used to be. I feel like I'll probably need to get prescription reading glasses this time.

I'm fixing pizza for supper tonight and I'm waiting for the bread maker to let me know the dough is done so I can stretch it and assemble the pizza. It's getting more and more difficult for me to do things like roll the dough and stretch it out with my right hand being numb. I've lost alot of strength in that arm but I try to use it as much as I can so as not to lose total use of it.

I hope everyone has a good Friday and a great weekend! The weather here is gorgeous. :)

:grouphug: to all.

Hi every one, Debbie sorry hun thinking of you :hug::hug:

I hope everyone else is ok. I am a bit fed up. The NHS have refused to fund my surgery. I havent the money to go private never mind chat soon. xxxxxxx:grouphug::grouphug:

Good morning all. I am exhausted today. I employed reverse psychology yesterday. I had been standing in my home with my arms folded upset that so many wanted to come and visit, and hang out, and ruin my ME time. Clearly the universe had other ideas, so I threw out the welcome sign. It amazed me how many others showed up without having been called. Like a magnet many landed on my door.

I had a huge pot of chicken stew on the stove. All were fed. They drank all the milk, juice, and brew that was in the house. I had a constant stream of movies going on the TV from netflix and cheesy movies always draw in a crowd that picks apart the movie. it was kinda fun (hanger 18 from the 70s was a hit). I had so many volunteer to help me around the house since "my man" was away "what can I do for you, please let me help." so, I send some to the shed to fill the bird feeders. Others helped me flip the mattress' and my kitchen floor was mopped, while my living room rug was vacuumed. Someone scooped the cat box, and someone else dumped the dehumidifier from the basement.

I love that I have so many friends who just wanted to check on me, and be helpful. cops, firemen, prison workers, and so forth become your brothers and sisters, and I had forgotten to let them. They all made it clear that they just wanted to help, and I was being a spoiled brat to keep them out.

it was well past midnight when the last one left. (he is a night shifter and didnt realize the time) and it seemed that everyone got their curiosity satisfied that I am doing just fine. They all felt better to turn a screw for me, or fill a bird feeder, or wash a dish. The house is now a wreck, but i dont really care.

No calls this morn. everyone seems satisfied and appears to be moving on to whatever else they came to this area to do. My DD is coming up and we are going to the church tag/yard/garage sales today. I am leaving the house dirty and off we go. I have learned my lesson. The harder I tried to keep folks out the more insistant they got and it seemed the numbers of folks was growing. once I gave in and let it, it was fun and all seem happy now. it looks like I may be able to get on with my week.

I said an extra prayer for sanford last night. im so sorry Debbie :hug:

Dej -- Just read your post and actually felt a little envious that you have so many people that want to help you out.:D

Spent yesterday afternoon and evening Christmas decorating. I am almost done. Yes, I know it is not even Thanksgiving yet, but I wanted to get it done so I can relax. Sort of. Now I need to lay out everything I have bought for presents and start wrapping the ones that need to be shipped. I also need to lay it all out so I can see what I have gotten :o, and make a list of people I still want to shop for.

Good Morning! :)

Dej....you are truly blessed. So fortunate to have so many people care about you.

Debbie....I'm so sorry about your furbaby. I know he gave you many years of joy and companionship.

Sandy.....I hope your Mom is doing better.

Barb.....you can add me to your list! :p I put my "bought" list in an email to myself and saved it in my draft mailbox. That way I can easily access my list and know what I've already got and for who.

I've just about got my Christmas shopping done. All done online and all will be delivered to my doorstep. All I have to do now is buy wrapping paper and get it all wrapped. I tell you what.......the older my kids get the more expensive their toys become! :mad: :p

Hope everyone has a great Saturday! :grouphug:
