Holly....Im sorry things are going so poorly right now.:( Im praying for
strength for you to get thru whatever it is.

:hug::hug::hug:

A big "Hi" to eveyone else here.:)

yeah, we've been watching Dolly miss us, and hope that it doesn't get too severe for those in Texas.

mornin' everyone, I feel like &#@* today...

slept lousy, woke at 3 am, head-achy, stomach-achy, crabby, unrested...

then couldn't go back to sleep... argh, it's gonna be one of those days, sigh...

nothing has gone right all morning.....................

tried to count the duckie-hatchlings, and in six tries never got the same count twice... darn darn darn... (47, 52, 54, 48, 51, 48)

spilled the sack of whole-corn feed when I slid in the mud, and on the way back inside, I stubbed my toe on the doormat, fell sideways, and knocked over the mops and brooms, machete, pellet gun, etc.

I got totally slimed by a rotten cabbage when feeding the goats :yuckers:, and shut a rabbit cage door on my finger :ouch:

ran out of lettuce for the geese, and the last of the rabbit pellets is full of moth larvae...

an hour later, I forgot I was wearing a see-through top when I ran outside to stop the geese from harassing a duck (that's when I stepped in a red ant nest, dang it !)

so, I'm out there in this sheer black lace top, shooing the geese away with a broom, right in FRONT of my contractor, and simultaneously trying to stomp all the ants off my feet... sheesh !! hoppin' around yelling like a deranged lunatic.

oh, and we got invaded by some insects last night (which hubby was whacking on the tile floor with the fly swatter), so today I was sweeping all the bug bodies out, and THEN, I knocked over the kitty's water dish... dang it all...

*another* mess to clean up !!

I'm just going to go back to bed, and try to start this day over...

:confused:

sorry about all your clean-up, Kay ... that's gotta be discouaging ... sending some clean-up angels to help you!! :Girl(angel-flying):

still unpacking boxes .. but hanging in with school - into the 3rd week .. .and As still .. whew!

just had lunch with my neighbors (the county program .. $3.50 a day) .. I'm eating with them - otherwise I don't eat a decent meal .. just munch and snack ... and I 'get out' ...

now going to make some noise and hang some pix and STUFF ... and organize the boxes ... getting to the stuff that I had hanging on pegboards ..

will work on finishing the quilt too .. did I tell you that my cousin is going to give me her wedding dress (from the 70s) to make a quilt for her out of it .. what a grand idea!! she was going to toss it or donate it to goodwill ... their anniversary is in February ...

OH -- will be getting the totes made up to .. AND getting a digital so I can get things posted ...

have a great day ever-body!!

Hi all :) Doing much,much better today. I guess the severe fatigue I had the past couple of days reminded me just how bad it can get. Now I won't sweat the small stuff as much, LOL.

Of course, my luck is pretty bad. I wouldn't buy a lotto ticket if you gave it to me right now. :D My cupboard is BARE!!! I have to go grochery shopping. it's hot and storms are on the horizon. yuck, ick, etc. Need to learn to plan ahead, LOL. Hubby equates grochery shopping with pulling teeth, so I'm going in a little bit. At least they have air conditioning and carts I can lean on. :)

:grouphug: Stay safe and cool all.

Kay, oh my woman! I think you need to go back to sleep too and start all over.

Seems many of you are sufferring this week and Jim is right along there with you all. He is so tired I am thinking the humidity and stress of life in general is the culprit. DANG MS! I say we gather around and beat the sheets out of MS. Who's with me?

wow kay usually i am exhausted after reading your post, today i am sore and exhausted, hope the rest of the day goes better:hug: ( did the contractor give you a better price after your dance) sorry could not refuse, take it easy and rest and realign your chi, karma, mojo, whatever you want to call it

Fin glad to hear you are feeling better, yeah this humidity sucketh mucheth, lol wont even say dont over do it:hug:

Holly, I am sorry you are having a rough time right now. I know how you are feeling because I have been there at times too. Try to take it easy and I hope things improve soon.

Kay, Big :hug: Or as my niece would say, "Oh man!" I think a long nap is needed.

I did not know that baclofen could cause wight gain too. I take a low dose of it and neurontin. Do they cause weight gain because of increased hunger or water retention?

Vonn, Glad you are settling in. What kind of classes are you taking?

Jenn, Glad you are feeling better! Have fun at the grocery store:rolleyes:

Sandy, I hope your beds come soon and that the two of you get a decent night's sleep. It is hot and sunny here right now although it did get dark and thunder a few hours ago.

Hi Frank, Renee, Tricia, Soxmom, Wiz and everyone else!:Wave-Hello:

I finished one syllabus this morning and have completed about 90% of another. I just need to check on some journal articles. I know -- big yawn!;)
I am now off to take a "brief" nap.:OuttaHere:

Dont kill the bugs Kay, they are a good source of protein. Never know when the next hurricane comes, you may need some food.

Barb, we think the gabapentin caused Jim's weight gain. He's been on baclofen so long and we never really noticed a weight gain with it. Since Jim has weened off gabapentin we are convinced he's lost weight already. He used to have what we called a shelf on his tummy to place things on. It's gone! Whoohoo! lol

We're down to only two a day. Jim wants to get off completely but like I told him, if he starts to have symptoms we are going to go back to where that started. Either way, cutting down from 9 a day to 2 a day is a good thing.

Sandy, I was on gabapentin after Lyaric, I gained 60 pounds with Lyaric in 6 months and than started on the gabapentin and gained a few more pounds, I was only on it for 6-7 weeks. That was about 3 years ago and I finally lost the last of the weight in Jan. of this year.
