    afternoon/good morning ladies~
    left the house at 6 this morning and grocery shopped, came home, put it away and went to feed DFIL , then off to get my hair cut.. always feels wonderful getting that done... came home swept and washed the floors and now asn my stomach is tossing and turning in an Hour I go to see the lawyer.. hoping he gives me some tips and the name of a good attorney that wont cost an arm and a leg..
    then my girlfriend Zina is picking me up at 4:45 and we are going with Mary to a cocktail party at a orthdondtic office we work with.. so that should be fun..

    Prayer request - my daughter-in-law was just rear ended by a truck and is in the ER. They are waiting to do a CT on her neck. She was at a stop sign and there was a truck behind her in a car ran into the truck and the truck smashed into her van. The van is totaled.

    Yesterday was miserable. I take cymbalta for osteoarthritis pain in my hips, and am in the process of stepping down the dosage. Yesterday was 2d day of lower dose and my head felt like it was a huge bell, all hollow and ringy. However, feel normal this morning so fingers crossed. Off to my body pump class!

    Good luck with the weaning off of Cymbalta. I had a horrendous time several years ago. What you are feeling is quite normal. I also had this "brain zapping" thing going on. I actually had to take the capsules apart and count out the granules the withdrawal was so bad. Wishing you the best!

    Handsome hubbies, ladies!
    Love the pictures and pet tales (tails? Ha)

    Becca - so sorry about your situation with your sister.

    Mary - praying for your DIL. It must have been quite a crash to total the van.

    Allie - thinking good thoughts for you. I know it is not easy. Been there....

    Nancy - Yeah! Great recovery and NSV!

    Kelly - your story about the birdie and kitty had me rolling (but not on a lettuce leaf)

    Lisa - hoping you get the best offer ever!

    Well yesterday was not terrific. My DDIL's delicious homemade fruit cake was calling my name (over and over) I finally had to shut it up by popping the last large piece in my mouth. Bad, bad, bad but yummy.

    I am getting ready to start five straight days of work. For a part time retired gal that's a bit much. We're short at work and I do need the $$$ so I'll push on through. I often think of you working girls and how much you do. You rock!

    Nancy in Delray: Congratulations! Fitness improvements like yours are amazing successes. :flowerforyou:

    Allie: Good luck. :smiley:

    Mary: Sending prayers for your DIL. I hope she doesn't have any serious injuries. :heart:

    Margaret: I'll look for Sleep Smarter. Thanks for the suggestion. :flowerforyou:

    Cheri in TX: The photos you shared are wonderful. You & DH were a gorgeous bridal couple then and now, too. :bigsmile:


    It is a new year and a new insurance deductible. We have questions about an increase in the cost of DH's MS medicine, but can't reach the insurance provider due to the snow in Portland. They are closed today. :grumble:

    Are any of you having issues with tracking today? I can finally get to the page; but, it won't let me post anything there. Last night it would not save my water.

    Didn't like the feta spinach pie in phylo. It had too much spinach and not enough feta. Not very much flavor and ended up pouring the sauce for my Greek salad over it.

    Hi all! The painter postponed because of the weather (a few snow flurries) and my friend rang this evening to say she had scheduled someone else to be the cancer chemo sitter as she was worried I would have trouble getting there and even more trouble getting home on the train. Can't say I'm disappointed as it is miserable out there, but not impassable. She has scheduled me in for Feb 20th. I could have made it tomorrow, but will be able to use the day profitably. :D

    Too much alcohol tonight, probably through relief. :*

    Will use tomorrow to start packing and do a bit more writing. New chapter about my best friend /blood sister. <3

    We have the painter scheduled for Monday morning and a viewing in the afternoon. Must get ahead with the packing.

    Lots of love, Heather UK xxxxxxx
