a plane to puerto rico sat. morn. they are going for thanksgiving week
with their dad's family. Their father died two years ago so they dont
see them that much. Ill miss them on thanksgiving but Im sure they
are having a blast. when they left it was 18 degrees.

I got my house decorated for christmas(except tree). baked and froze
2 kinds of cookies. yay me!!!

This morning I volunteered in my sons class and did the final shop for
the holiday. Im going to my db and dsil's so Im only doing dessert.

Now...........Im resting but gotta get going soon . Im feeling good! shhhh
I should "shut up"!

Everyone have a super MOnday!!!!!

Weave,
Some interview advice...whenever I interviewed, I acted as if I could take or leave the job...no pressure to "perform". I told myself if it was meant to be, then I'd get the job.
Don't fret...we all have been in the boat of returning to work after a time off...sit up tall, walk with confidence, make eye contact, don't be afraid to smile. And good luck!

Trish...hope you get some neuro help

Sarah, glad the pred's helping...

Kay, Kell prayers for the sisses...

I am feeling bloated...like my cells are going to explode...not feeling very great...a bit of a headache. I remember getting one when I was on oral pred last Dec. Crummy to feel this way over the holiday...

Thanks for the best wishes everyone.

HereKitty- I'd be a part time library assistant at a local library. I've done library work before although that was a lifetime ago. What scares me some is my lack of computer skills. Finding a job I enjoy is part of me taking care of me. Once I get a job I'll finally have some spending money of my own again. Not much I know (8-11 hours a week) but some is better than the current situation. I'll put some toward household bills but the lion, er, lioness's share will be mine. I have some large, long term goals for some of that money too. For 20 years I've been wondering if... I hope to find the answer next year.

Good luck Weave!!! I am sure you'll do just fine.

Weave, Adding my good luck vibes for the job interview.

Weave - Good luck with the job interview. I hope all goes well. You will do just fine.

Hi everyone!

Just got back from the trip up north, and yep you guessed it, I am exhausted, and my legs are a mess. And what was with the snow this morning? We shopped and ate alot, and I am still not done shopping. I have a big family. The rest of my shopping is going to be done on line or at out local mall which has about 15 stores. The mall was packed and finding a parking space was next to impossible even with a disability placard. And people were definitely buying things. I could not stand the crowds and noise and probably only made it into about 10 different stores in the mall.

I have finally acknowledged to myself (one the way home) that I can't do big malls. I prefer individual stores where I can use a shopping cart.

I will check out the posts from the past few days tomorrow. Now I am off to veg in front of the tv for a little while and then I am going to bed.

I'm glad you had fun, Barb. I miss going to the mall and just walking around and window shopping. I can't take the noise, all the walking or the really high ceilings and florescent lights. All that combined makes me terribly dizzy.

Weave,

Good luck with your interview!

Barb - Glad you had a good time and made it back home safe and sound. Now you have the rest of the week to relax and take it easy.
