Hello...if I'd wait an hour to post I could say Good Afternoon! I slept in again today and having a hard time getting going this morning.

My sinuses have been giving me fits for the past week. My head is stopped up so I've been having increased dizziness and been very off balance. Oh well, I know what's causing it so I can deal with that.

It's quiet here today (again). Kevin's g/f went home last night 'cause she had to work today. She thought she had to be in at 9 AM but found out it was really 7 AM....I came out into the living room last night to find her crying on the couch. Kevin was nowhere to be seen so I thought he had done something to upset her! :eek: Turns out he was just in the bathroom and she had just found out she had to be at work at 7 AM. She was heartbroken.....:rolleyes:.....okay, I thought, try getting a grip on yourself because there are much worse things that could happen (like not even having a job). She's so dramatic...:rolleyes:. If I roll my eyes anymore I'm going to cause vertigo!!! :o So, she left about 10 PM and I went to bed.

Char, I'm so sorry about your town's Main Street. What caused the fire? I'll definitely keep those people in my prayers.

Wiz, Frank, Sandy, Renee, Barb and anyone else in the flood prone areas please be safe! Thank goodness Rocky is there, Wiz!! Aren't cats just the most curious creatures....have to know everything that's going on all the time!

Vonn, hope things are going good for you today! Be talking to you soon!! :)

It's gonna be hot here today (90) but rain is forecast for tomorrow and then a nice drop in temps to the upper 70's for the rest of the week. Let's hope they're right this time!

Everyone have a good day!

Char - no worries. I'll add it to my prayers too. :hug:

Wind's picking up near us, but the rain is still to the north so far. Need to call the in-laws later to see how they are. They look like they've been dumped with rain this weekend. The house they're currently in is on a slab, so hoping they are doing ok.

I'm guessing by looking at the forecast that if we do get rain, it's gonna be a bad storm. We're almost in the 90s today with the temp dropping to the high 60s tomorrow.

Stay safe everyone. :grouphug::Sinking:

Hey everyone. The weather is rain and more rain but so far today doesn't seem as bad as yesterday in my area. The boys are in the flood area of the Kishwaukee river. It flooded last year and was a mess. They said it has crested and who knows what will happen now.

Jim is going to talk with his doctor today. He's refusing to be admitted and will go local if he needs to. His doctor promised outpatient and if he goes back on his word Jim feels like he can't trust him. He brought up a few good points. The reason he could be so tired is because the doctor up'd his baclofen, put him on marinol and macrobid, all of which cause drowsiness. So, to admit him based on fatigue seems rather over the top. Now, he is having really tight legs and again, this could be due to the ms or the infection. Either way, it's in no way enough to be admitted if outpatient IV's can be done. He is going to talk man to man with the doctor today. We'll see how that goes.

:hug: to everyone needing them and thank you for all of your well wishes. :grouphug:

Sandy, I hope and pray that everything turns out okay for Jim. I wouldn't want to be admitted, either, and it sounds like they could treat it as outpatient if need be. Do you think the high humidity in the air has anything to do with his legs being tight? I know I can always tell when it's going to rain or the humidity is raised......I'm like a human weather vane!

Absolutely Kitty! That's exactly what we're going to tell him. All of you have been complaining of the exact same symptoms so this leads us to think it could be related to the humidity and rain. We've had enough of the humidity lately haven't we? This is not new to Jim, heck he's had ms for 20 years and I think he knows his body better than anyone, even me. :hug:

Good Morning!

It has been raining fairly heavy here since the middle of the night, and the wind is starting to pick up here. I guesss I will be staying home today. I wanted to stay in bed this morning and listen to the rain, but got up at 7:00 due to a headache. My sinuses are also going crazy and the humidty does not help. I just broke down and took some advil. Usually, it does work for me.

I have been reading a mystery that starts out in Austin, Texas and then moves to Capri, Italy. I am enjoying it since I have visited both of these places. I think I am going to make some chicken noodle soup today -- semi homemade. I do use the boxed broth, but add chicken, ginger, garlic, mushrooms, frozen noodles, etc. It seems like a soup day. The weather the rest of the week is supposed to be great here -- sunny and high 60s/low 70s.

I made plans with friends for 2 weekend trips this fall. We are going to go visit another friend that lives in the Quad cities (Bertendorf), Iowa in mid October. She just moved there this summer. The trees and the Mississippi should be really pretty then. And then we are going up to Schaumburg, Il to go Christmas shopping the week before Thanksgiving. I have a week off from school then so hopefully I can handle it.

Well, I am going to go read some more, and I also have papers to read and grade. I hope everyone is having a safe and peaceful Sunday.

Sandy, Just read your reply. I think the humidity is doing a number on alot of us. Hopefully, things will start drying out tomorrow.

Char- Prayers sent!

Sandy- bring him to my clinic!!!

We had 50 mile an hour wind gusts with sustained winds around 30 mph all night glad I didn't hang on to that flag pole as it was the first thing we lost! We lost several tree branches and one small tree and have water standing everywhere, both of our ponds are spilling over, and we lost electricity around 2 am until around 4 but other than that we are good!

meanwhile - back in the Caribbean...

Kay's cookin' up a MEET-UP with a cruisin' member of NT.

:cool:

Good to hear Renee! We're still waiting for it to slam us, if it curves my way.

Kay, whatchu talkin' about?
