In a lucky move, Tropical Storm Ida is swinging east of Middle TN, so no low pressure system (for a while)! Its time to break out the thin gloves to keep everywhere - had a couple of sore spots show up when it started getting colder.

Totally random, but I may have a new favorite song "Toes" by the Zach Brown Band .... "Got my toes in the water, a&$ in the sand, not a worry in the world, cold beer in my hand, life is good today...." gotta love it... I need a beach trip SOON. (the end of the song is great too... "put my &$$ in the lawnchair, toes in the clay, not a worry in the world, PBR on the way"

today i was on tech support 3 calls 2 hrs each, they deleted my dad's e-mail when we moved. dad & i joked about our dog, we tried to make him symetrical like on monk. it is cold and we cover him up with a blanket. we finally decided it is relaxing for him to be asymetrical. i made a r-max insert for one of dad's windows. a relief not to be moving.

Blessings and Happy Holidays all. Mark happy birthday to us.
Peggy had a Christmas Eve one.
Life goes on, keep my mind busy. The husband is home, his plant closed last Feb. Finished with litigation in De's death. But, the real heartache is still there. I have aged so much. The dear grandson, does not like Mamma's white hair at all....I am having spine and hip problems. Seeing the pain doc the beginning of the year to try and lessen that.

I still have that crushing chest heartache, 3 years in January my heart was broken to pieces; now held together by prayers and dreams.

I read, sometimes post, each day a new challange.
My love and blessings to all.

Went to my second Acupuncture treatment today!
I'm going to write about it in a new thread

[tied]

friday i started a new job. although i make one third what i did and have no bennies it is a relief to know i can support myself and can finance cobra. hopefully seasonal will turn into part time or full time.

i am painting the bathroom this week.

i have somehow pulled out of my depression and as usual pharmaceuticals were no help in this endeavor.

i am still fighting this eye infection. guess like william's finger my eyes are stubborn with the antibiotics.

Today I wanted to resurrect a thread that's been down for 2 months.... I pretty much suck at staying in touch with people (i'm sorry!!) ... work on the computer all day kinda takes away any desire to sit at the 'puter at home. but still, i could be polite and poke my head in every once in a while to say "HEY!"

- Doc and I are tinkering with my meds, trying to lower some of them if possible. I would love nothing more than to NOT have to be on so many.
- My little girl is 3.5 going on 35 now... still as cute as can be, and working that to her advantage.
- I tweaked my knee ~6mo ago and didn't go to the ortho because a). I'm a male, and therefore stubborn. and b). I just don't like going to the dr. Well, this Sunday I slipped on the stairs at home and hear a crunch/snap/pop sound and then got this blinding pain. I went yesterday to the ortho, they did an MRI, and I go Thursday to talk about what happened inside my knee. Initial assessment was torn cartilage, but we'll see what the MRI shows.

I hope everyone is doing well!

tomorrow i take a banjo lesson. wanna see if it is easier for me than guitar. since i broke my left pinky it has gotten harder to fret a guitar. also with tiny hands i have a hard time wrapping the thumb around like rev gary davis does it.

also, friday i start a new job which is a real job and i am extremely happy. full time, benefits, good pay, whole 9 yards.

i am disappointed in hip PT. i would ask the PT where I needed to feel the stretch. The exercises he gave me were not making me feel it in the right place. however, because of yoga i knew how to get a stretch there. he just poo pooed it. anyone else fat, and conventional stretches just compress the fat? that is what i am up against. next time i will skip the pt and go straight to yoga.
