Hey now wait a minute. The home health aide didn't show up again???

Ahhh, good news this year, our snowbird friends gave us their xmas tree because it will not fit in their trailer. So now we dont have DUCT TAPE our old one to a cinder block. Now I have more tape to you know what!! HEHEHE

how the heck you been Jmiller long time no hear you doing ok?

how was everyones day, good I hope, Sandy did ya get the laundry done I just remembered i promised deb i would get the towles today whoops lol they are washing now

Tami if ya dont get a positive response i expect to start reading about bodies being found lol just funnin, seriously call medi care and let them know whats going on, maybe they can set you up with a few names to call, I am so fearful that you are going to hurt your back, please be careful, sponge bath works too, Tami, wishing you some positive vibrations


everyone hola

Elder Sandy, I think Jim made sure he would get a sore tush so you could massage it.

Sarah - 5 inches of snow? Ok, it is hard for me to imagine as it is still shorts weather here. It's hot out there! Kids are still swimming in the pool! (Just checked my mail box which is by the pool).

Decluttering & cleaning! I did that for 2 straight days and ended up down for 4 (major fatigue attack). Take it easy. I learned the hard way on that one.

Tami - I agree with Frank. I'd be making some phone calls. The home health company has a responsibility as well as a liability. They need to step up to the plate and give you both the care that you need. Too bad you live too far for me to drive up there to help you out. I think it would take me about a day.

Vonn - No snow for you? Well, you do have ice on the lake. It was great talking with you and thank you, thank you, thank you for sharing your knowledge & ideas with me.

Jmiller - That's awesome!!! About the tree, not the extra duct tape.

hey Tricia .. enjoyed the chat this morning too ... glad I got your brain sparking ... you have a good head on your shoulders ...

Jmiller .. you'd be proud of me yesterday - I was 'duct tape queen' around the A/C cover .. outside and inside ... and I'm warm now!!

now Sandy - apparently you're pretty good with the 'massages' ...

Sarah - heard you were getting some 'lake effect' snow ..

today?? me?? sent out 14 postcards from coast to coast and then some (like one to England this time!!)

Finished grading papers from one class today and I only have one more day of classes to go. Then we get a week off for Thanksgiving. That is what I am most thankful for ( Of course I will still have some more grading to do next week. I make my students write too much!)

I am planning on spending the evening vegging out om my sofa and watching tv. I can't believe I still watch Survivor. ((Don't tell any of my colleagues.)) Plus Grey's Anatomy is on tonight. I just put my pj' s on. It is almost 5:00. I am skipping my monthly meeeting of my book group. I did not read the book and it is too cold out.

This weekend, I am going with to friends up to Northern Illinois to go shopping in the Woodfield Mall area. I know I am probably crazy to go, but we got suites at a hotel for really cheap (guess nobody is traveling), and I can always go back and rest when I am tired. We are staying for 2 nights. We traditionally go to downtown Chicago, but I knew I could not handle that anymore. I just hope there is not any snow!!!

when are you going to the mall, I need times and date i am going to find you, woodfiled isnt too far from Deb and I, would be nice to meet ya and have some coffee and talk

to everyone from couch slug land. Haven't felt good today, so have been mainly curled up on my comfy couch.

Did do a couple things here and there - couldn't resist, lol. But all in all, been a good girl.

Barb, enjoy the vacation. My dad was a college professor, and loved the holidays he got. Of course, he too would be grading papers at some point in time during it.

Vonn, cool beans at getting the postcards out.

Tami, agree with the others about getting some help regarding the home health agency.

Jmiller, Glad to see ya.

Oh Barb, I wish we could meet up too. Hmmm, what do I need from the mall? I am sure I could find somthing. lol No, Jim's mom is coming to visit so we can't but your more than welcome to stop by the house on your way out. I am about 20 minutes east of I39. :-)
