Checking in
 

Kelly, Thanks for starting a new thread. When they're shorter it's somehow easier for me to reply. :confused: Probably because I have a fear of heights. :winky:

Vonn, I'm glad your car problem is fixed.

Sandy and Jim,
I hope they'll figure out something to help Jim. :grouphug: And Sandy, you're inspiring me to get some cleaning done. :o Hopefully next weekend.

Frank and Deb,
What an ordeal for both of you and your son. Thank goodness he's home safe with you now. :grouphug:

Char,
I'm glad the prednisone started working, but I hope your sleep will improve soon. :hug:

Fin,
It's good to have a good report from the doctor. I hope you can get more rest. When I get enough rest, everything is better. :hug:

Barb,
Enjoy this beautiful weather we're having, it won't be here for too long!

Soxmom,
I hope the nap with the dog was nice. What a blessing this weather has been!

Trish,
When I do deep cleaning I get pains here and there and everywhere. Maybe you are overdoing it? Maybe instead of Energizer Bunny we can be Energizer turtles, lol.

Momma,
It's amazing how Scooby has stood the test of time. Our sons are 25 & 27 and they had Scooby toys and such about 20 or more years ago, lol.

Deb,
I love those graphics you put up, always makes me smile. :hug: You two take it easy after that long trip. I understand completely though, I would go to the ends of the Earth for our sons.






My update:

I have a cold, though it's hard for me to know sometimes. I started having sinus issues Monday afternoon at work, I figured it was allergies. In the evening I was feeling muscle achiness and I hadn't done any work to attribute that to, so I knew it must be a cold. I went to the office late on Tuesday and got some things done, about six hours or so.

Then Wednesday was my day off. I slept until 11:30am, thank goodness. Our sons were coming over for supper and I had to make beef stew for that so got it started, one batch in the crockpot, the other on the stove. (I make a lot so they can take home a lot of leftovers.) I also make this bread recipe to go with it, a yummy flatbread made with brown sugar and whole wheat flour.

Also, my biannual eye checkup was yesterday so even though it was a day to rest and feel better I had quite a bit to do.

I need to exercise and get some housework done, hopefully this weekend. Also, I ordered some bulbs from Breck's for the garden that are shipping so I hope to have those by Saturday so I can get them planted while it's still nice out here.

That's about it with me. I hope you'll all have a nice day today and a good weekend too. :grouphug:

Wiz, I haven't started yet. I went out to mow the grass and oh my goodness! What's up with all the Asian Beetles? There are swarming here. I heard the farmers use them in their fields so my best guess is they did. lol They were all over me, my neck, my head, my hair, my clothes. Blech!

I have some bulbs to plant this weekend too. I have to rearrange my garden as well. Some of my larger plants have taken over and need to moved to the back of the garden. Yeah for me!

Ok, I am going to check a few things online and then go clean the bathrooms. Maybe. lol

Hope you feel better! Jim's headaches are back. It must be allergies for him.

The beetles are just crazy here too. I think this is the predator beetle that has nearly wiped out the common ladybug. The Asian beetles bite though. :eek:

Well, we should have nice gardens in the spring with all we're doing. :winky:

I hope Jim's headaches will get better. Before I took sinus meds I had them spring and fall. Now I'm on two meds that keep the headaches under control: generic Claritin from Walmart, and Nasonex, a steroid nose spray.

Tell you what, you go first and clean your bathrooms and I'll go next, lol.

Us too Sandy. Today the ladybugs came out in full force.:( Im really
looking foreward to when they get inside.:rolleyes:. Yucky.

Hi Wiz.........mmm beef stew. My teenage sons love it. i think I have
to get my crockpot out and put on some stew.:)

:hug:

No, I couldn't. You go first. I insist. :D

Sox, I have my handy dandy electric bug killer racket to kill em dead! lol

I hate those bettles. I have not noticed too many down here yet. Please keep them up North.:D

I just heard back from my neuro's office and he is upping my neurotin by 300 more mg at night. I already take 600 mg, three times per day. I have been experiencing increased buring/tingling on my forearm and on the top of my head for about three weeks, and it is driving me crazy. Seriously! I can handle the burning in my arm, but it really bothers me when I am experiencing it on my head. I know it sounds weird, but it feels like my scalp is burning.

I hope everyone has a good weekend, and I will check back in when I get back on Sunday. I hope the leaves are pretty in the Quad Cities. They really have not changed much here yet. We are going to stop on the way to go shopping at an outdor mall outside of Peoria. I have never been there, but it looks nice. I am going to try to help the economy out by shopping.:rolleyes:

i thought those were raisins in my cereal:yikes:

not many here either? but we got lots of wild cats coons hairy rats aka as squirrels and all sorts of critters

vonn glad it was just a battery

Char I wanted to say sorry about the MS bugs, i had them a day or two ago too, hate those non existent, realistic physiologically prevalent bugs

it felt good to know I could do it still whoo hooo, no no sillys not that.... felt good to know with pacing myself, we stopped about every hour for a few hit a bathroom get a red bull and continue, i did ok was about 6 hrs of driving last night and I had been up since 430am with just a short nap with deb for an hour, it was a nice feeling, I miss running in full gear for 20 out of 24hrs in a day

Frank, I can't remember where I got it but I can send it to you from Photobucket.

Hi you all,

I'm back for a while tonight. It seems like I have been gone forever. I have been drugged up trying to get through this tooth thing. I took my last drug this evening and have been tapering down for the last few days.

I hope everyone is doing well. I missed you guys. I have to check around and see what's going on.

Hugs,
Becky:hug::hug::grouphug:
