Well that's weird….it showed up….after my nap. LOL…so it's a repeat mostly. I thought this was lovely!

I think you better listen to that guy! He looks like he means it! LOL! I got both of your posts.
Wow, I just couldn't get sleepy last night. It was around 2 when I fell asleep and was up around 8. I had to get up around 1:30 and take my Tramadol. I think that I am going to have to go with the Tramadol and the new med and see if that will get me sleepy and take care of the pain. It's been quite awhile since I had the lower back pain that would cause me to arch my back - that happened again last night (not super bad though, praise the Lord), so I took the Tramadol. I was hoping I could do without it since I have so much trouble with the pharmacy wanting me to change to something else, but there are very few things I can take for pain. It's not great, but it cuts the edge off of the pain and calms my back.
Well, the guy who gets our packages sometimes brought the one left at his house the same day my replacement came. Because it was Amazon/UPS's fault I'm going to let it ride. I've called them after something like this has happened and they said not to worry about it, it's more work to figure it out. I don't like having to have that guy bring our stuff to us, he just shouldn't have to. BUT, we did get our last two packages just fine! Oh, I just remembered, when we went to register to vote after we moved here, they had to figure out a way to put in our address that the computer would accept - now that was fun!
I hope you have a restful yet productive day - figure that one out! Love you

He's a friendly but frowny reminder! It's on my list to do.
I hear you on the restful yet productive day and it's possible to have both. I didn't get out yesterday so will see if I can manage to do it today. I really struggle with the walking/driving things so have to make me go out when needed. I'm always glad when it's done but it's a real hardship to do it! Pain wise, strength wise etc.
I was reading at midnight and had a power surge…thought maybe it was storming so had to get up and check…nope…just an electrical twitch. Now I need to reset my clock radio thing. It's going on 5AM…and I've been awake since 11. Oh well….I feel a nap coming on.
That's kind of that guy to bring your packages but I'd feel the same…he shouldn't have to! What an issue to have…address troubles!
I need to answer my son's letter but writing by hand is a burden after all the years of using my printer for such tasks. I still don't have it connected. My sleep and pain issues have been a hindrance to having Natasha come by for 3 months now…I did say they could come while I was conked out but I guess not? I do miss using it.
I'm going to poke around at FB then go back down for a nap. I'll fix the time on my clock first. Have a blessed day…Love you lots!
I want someone to bring me meals like this. LOL….I don't see any meatloaf or turkey there tho. This is a nifty idea for sharing, isn't it?

ooo, looks like Thanksgiving! That is an excellent idea, and I like the portion control. I need to have one of those when we have our Thanksgiving meal together with the Church. When we lived in Hickory and I was seeing an NP of Functional Medicine, Mom won several preprepared meals, unfortunately, they didn't deliver them, you had to go to them and pick them up, and they only had about five selections - just starting up I guess! One or two were pretty good, so Mom got a few of those. Do they have a Meals-on-Wheels near you? You are someone they should deliver to because of being nearly house-bound! I think that they bring two meals a day - but I haven't looked into it for quite awhile.
I'm doing pretty good. Still the pain on the right side, but otherwise alright. I did get a good nights sleep last night - now I just have to remember how I took my meds! I had all three, but took one at 8 and the other two at 10:30. I feel asleep around 12:30 and didn't get up until 8:15 (although there was a bathroom break in there around 5). Phew, I needed that. I don't have that drugged feeling this morning, although I am still tired. I think the meds I take are the cause of that, but then, I've been fatigued for years! LOL!
My weight was 228 this morning, but after a weekend of eating what I want I'm expecting it to be up tomorrow, but I sure was excited to see that number! My BP was a little bit low, but overall, in taking it regularly it's staying close to that normal point. At the doctor it's always higher than it is at home.
Well, I better let you get going. I hope you have a great day today - don't push yourself.
Missing Missy and Marilynn. Hope you gals are well. Love y'all

Good morning!
Yes it does! I love such things too…yet don't care to cook much just for me. I do love turkey and stuffing especially and will consider getting the wings and thighs this year from HEB, and some stove top stuffing.
Our Meals on Wheels is in rather dire straights here, with help and donations being down. My friend Laura contacted them once, in my behalf, after my fall and the resulting dizziness for 3 months, along with the pain issues. They did call me and offer to vet me and help but I told the lady I was OK…and I was/am. I have my kitchen stool, easy appliances….plenty of resources/food…so can almost always cobble together something. It may not always be sensible…but I am fed.
Oh you would hear me holler if I saw 228 again! I am not giving up hope! I am way back here in your rearview mirror.
BP: I so dread having mine done due to the pain of those monstrous things at the Dr.'s office….like they are trying to blow up an air balloon. Mine has been running higher the past 5 weeks because of my pain and sodium intake being crazy.
So glad to see you got some good rest at your spot…and the pain is manageable. Those good nights/days are such a blessing! I rested well last night…got up at 3:00 which is fairly normal. Yesterday was a good day, in that I was up for 12 hours, took a short, normal nap then stayed up until 10 PM.
A hooya this morning…I went out at 4:15 to take trash to the dumpster and managed with no cane/support (but did pray!) and tho the pain increased by the time I got back inside…a short sit down refreshed me. God is so good and I am so thankful! The last two times I've gone out, I was gasping for air and hunched over, having to stop and rest before I got back to my apartment.
I placed an order for HEB pickup in the morning and will swing by Walgreens for my insulin. I still have no word on the Tresiba sub but I will not fret much over it. When I start my last pen, I'll contact Dr. B. again. I have about a 10 day supply at the moment.
Check this out…we can play with charts now? Have a blessed day at your spots….Love you all!
Blessings of the day
Good coffee!

Strength for the day

Love the chart! So glad the trip to the dumpster went so well! Praise the Lord! I was able to do the dishes (lower back wasn't happy when I got done) and do a short inside walk of 5 laps. My legs just felt heavy and awkward yesterday. I do have my compression wraps on, but they've never felt like that before. It seems better this morning, even with the wraps on.
My BP is still going down, it was around 107/63 this morning. I'll wait a bit and see how it does before getting in touch with the doctor and seeing what he thinks. That lower number can't get much lower before it goes into the "get help" range!
228 this morning, what a surprise! I think it's part of whatever is going on in my body. I never lose weight like this! 12 lbs since April - when I was working hard at it and was much younger it took me 6 months to lose that much! I'm old and hardly trying, just eating healthy small meals as I have been for a few years! Praise the Lord, it is a wonderful plus. All good gifts come from the Father above! This is a very good gift.
I pray for good rest and sleep for you and less pain. Love y'all.

Love the reprieves we get. It's been about 5 years since I did dishes by hand, back before I got the new dishwasher. We thought my old one was leaking and it was my neighbor's bathroom, leaking into my kitchen when they took a shower! Now, I'd have to do them in stages like I do changing sheets on my bed. I do sit quickly when my legs go numb…to avoid a fall.
I called my Dr.'s office today…had a message from them…Walgreens and my insurance are still dancing around the Tresiba replacement…I have to pay $70 for a 1 month supply which is double what I've been paying. Beats the $2069 for the Toujeo or whatever we were trying to get but still…hope they can get things sorted soon.
I was up at 2 AM, very tired by 11 so went down for a nice nap…now will run off to the pharmacy against my will then dart across the street for a Diet Cherry Limeade. I haven't had one in about 4 years…it used to be my Sunday treat on my way to work.
We had a nice rain storm here yesterday. Makes me long for a porch to sit on to watch it from.
Hope you have a good evening at your place. Love and prayers…

Went to edit my post and got a message: "You need the Vanilla Comments Edit permission to do that"…LOL…oh well
I did drag my carcass to Walgreen for my insulin, traffic was too heavy to dart across the street to Sonic so made a right and went to Taco Bell….someone there isn't earning $20 an hour. Got no hot sauce tho I confirmed I wanted some….food was down about 4 notches from my last run thru about 6 months or so ago… looked like this…
I was feeling really rough and peckish….apparently my sugar had dropped…making my vision blurry and knocking my energy to the curb. Ack! And we got some more rain! I'm going to get back in my gown and hunker down again!

Okay, Miss Bren, I made you a leader so you should be able to edit whenever you want to, just press the three dots in the circle on the upper right!
I really don't like it when I get something that looks like it's been dumped together. I got a fish sandwich yesterday while we were out, and the cheese was on the left edge and the sandwich was on the right edge. I had to peel the left side of the patty off of the cheese and center what I could - sigh! That's not bad compared to that taco though! Just working for the paycheck and not for the customers!
Well, we didn't really get much of anything from Hurricane Erin in our neck of the woods. If you find Cape Lookout on the bottom left of the Outer Banks, we are on land not far from there (continue E of Beaufort until you see Williston. We had a fairly high tide, but not anything that flooded the yards. We were expecting a 2-4' rise, but that didn't happen. The Outer Banks did get hammered though. We hardly got any wind or rain either. Praise the Lord. We were ready if we got anything from it, but grateful we didn't. God is good always! I was reading about Jehovah-Rohi this morning - the Lord is my Shepherd. What tender loving care He gives to those who believe in Him as Lord and are walking and living as His children. There is a verse in Is that pictures Him taking a lamb into his arms and cradling it to His chest - that's how he takes care of us and loves us! On that note I will say good afternoon. Have a good rest and I pray you wake up refreshed and in less or no pain! Nothing is impossible with God. 🤗

Thanks Love! i had been doing edits before so that was new and different! Sometimes it's a word or few I catch after posting….like now instead of know. Others…i want to add a PS…It's all good.
I rested very well last night except for tummy turmoil for a couple of hours. I'm OK this morning. Got up at 4…ready to roll.
I gave myself a bad case of indigestion yesterday…I made sausage, potato and egg breakfast tacos for the first time in a long time…will be awhile before I do it again. Dinner was a bag of steamer stir fried rice, extra veggies and some meatballs. Needless to say…that spiked my glucose level. Oops. I need to tackle the salad bags today.
Praise God for protection in the storm! Oh yes….I've felt that of late as well…Him being my Shepard. His tender mercies, loving care and safety in life's troubles. Loved that!
I am so very thankful for the difference this new chair has made in my pain levels. It's made a big difference. The pain is about half what it was prior….still bad but much better!
I need some coffee…and will see what "work" I can get out of me today. I sorted a kitchen drawer yesterday….I need a better cushion for my stool!
Blessings to all today….

I'm so glad that the chair is helping with the pain, something that you wouldn't think would make such a huge difference! Now we just need to get your sleep patterns normal and you will be a little Energizer Bunny! LOL! I would say that you should definitely get into the salad bags!
Wade made some pork chops a couple of days ago and I couldn't even eat a whole one. I ate half of that and had about a half cup of applesauce. I need to eat that other half because me likey pork chops! 🤤
We are supposed to be getting lower temps next week, so I am hoping to get some laps outside. I get about five in the house and then my lower back starts aching and my legs feel heavy and uncoordinated a little bit. I'm having either breathing or heart issues as well. My chest just gets to aching after I experience even a little bit of effort. It happens like that when my heart rate is up, but 90 is fairly normal for me, so I shouldn't have breathing issues and aching at that level. I hope it's that aspirating issue rather than heart. I do not want to see another doctor! One suggested I see a gastroenterologist again because of the aspirating thing - I will do whatever I can to keep that from happening, but I do not want a whole slew of doctors again! I often get the news that there is nothing wrong, all the tests are normal, but since you are having trouble let's throw pills at it and see if you feel better! Been there done that and am not going down that road again. The Lord knows and I am just going to do all I can to be healthy and pray that they get under control or healed altogether!
Praying for my ladies. Love y'all.

Good morning! Another lovely weekend is here. After working weekends for almost 23 years, my free days are so enjoyed and appreciated now! I would love to have the bunnies energy and stamina!
I had a good, solid night's sleep last night and got up at 6 AM. Feels more normal and very refreshing. Thanks for prayers on my sleep patterns and energy levels.
Oh boy, can I identify with the issues on walking…the feeling of weakness, fatigue, breathlessness…and my back seizes up, has me hunched over like Quasimodo and my legs go numb.
I got some things in my grocery order yesterday that I need to sort/bag and freeze for future use. Chicken thighs, a lovely quarter sliced, boneless ham and ground pork. I got a head of cabbage to play with too. That task is on my to do list along with sort the fridge, freezer, collect trash and clean the kitchen. Perhaps I will be inspired to cook soon?
I did trek over to Amazon for a stool cushion and cologne spray. I have 2 bottles of body spray that I just don't like so they are in the give away tub. I need to put one together soon and move some things out.
My weight is down a bit, BP is good for the second day or so but FBS is running high in spite of skipping dinner 3 times this week. I had another round with tummy troubles last night. God finally settled me and helped me rest. Nausea and heart palpitations.
I want to try roasted cabbage….I'll see what I can do with it!
Hope you have a great weekend at your spot…and get to enjoy some outside time. I hope to do that soon as well…in taking my coffee to the courtyard or laundry room for practice walking. I love you lots and you are such a blessing to me!

You are so sweet! You have been the sister of my heart for quite a few years now, I do so appreciate you.
I've gotten out on the covered porch a couple of times this week. Last night it was very pleasant. I'm hoping for a 75 degree or under to see how walking does.
Phew, I slept for 7.5 hours last night, but the meds are making me uber-sleepy this morning. I did well yesterday with the same set up, but not so much today. I think I'll leave off the Gabapentin tonight and see if that keeps me awake in the morning. I don't want to be dragging when I go to Worship! For the first time in awhile we were all in Worship last Sunday. It was so nice! Several of us have had to stay home a time or two because of chronic illness and pain, so it's such a blessing when we are all able to be there.
Things are pretty normal around here right now. Wade put a turkey in this morning so we should have that for lunch! Yummers. Turkey, cranberry sauce, and maybe some potatoes and peas. I don't do potatoes very often so they are a special treat when I do get them (not counting the occasional French fries, like with yesterday's Smash Burgers!).
I'll let you go now. Keep doing the healthy thing with your eating and the weight will come off. Sleep really helps and I am so happy that you were able to get a good night's one last night! Yeehaw! Watch those palpitations too - please don't hesitate to call your doctor if they continue!!! I told a neighbor quite a few years ago that if she didn't call 911, I would. She called! I don't know your address or your doctor so I can't call, but you keep that button close and you call if you have trouble today. Rest, rest, rest until you can get through to the doctor on Monday. Love you sweetie-greens!

I was super sleepy all day yesterday and had several naps as needed. I did rest lots…and very well! Got up this morning at 3:30 and am feeling good. OH! Sharon used to tell me that and I did the same with my Mama….(calling 911) I prayed a lot and God relieved my symptoms in about 10-ish minutes. I do keep the button at hand and wear it when I am up, most of the time. Thank you…made me smile at your loving care!
I managed to deal with the dishwasher while making coffee. Have the trash collected and ready to take out. My to do list is made and I'll tick a few things off today.
Oh…I want some turkey! That sounds so good. I look forward to perhaps having some parts for the holidays…I get a pack of two thighs or wings every now and then. I have my pots and pans in pull out baskets so I "could" use the oven if need be. My go with is Stovetop stuffing and green beans and sometimes a sweet potato.
For the past three years, I've wanted a lovely rib eye steak for my birthday…haven't had one yet. I joke about putting one on layaway. For a couple of years, I had tamales for Christmas…and then had Laura's blessing of Holiday dinner twice and Natasha's Easter gift….sweet!
That's great that all were able to attend services! That's a joy sparker. Prayers for all of you.
My weight is back up 3 pounds…Eek! Too much sodium is still a problem. I'll work on that. I'll do my stats once a week…starting now. Need to get the sugar back under control as well. It's run high for 2-3 weeks.

My cabbage was a petite! LOL….I got only 2 "steaks" and a handful pf scraps from it. Will definitely add onion to the veggie pan next time. I cooked the two thighs about 15 minutes too long so it was dry…
0 -
It still looks really good! Cabbage is supposed to be really good for us too!
I had a tostados (the hard shell tortilla) yesterday with some taco meet, cheese and medium taco sauce on it. But lunch today was turkey, potatoes and some cranberry sauce, another yummers. I'm not much of a fan of sweet potatoes unless it's in the sweet casserole!
Oh my, my heart stuttered when I saw your FBS! Definitely need to bring that one down. Do you track your food? You should be able to keep track of your sodium as well as the glycemic index as well. I don't like to track, I almost never end up eating what I thought I would so it didn't help me much! LOL! I am so glad you are feeling better! Praise the Lord. Lots of love and hugs.

I have been having a very hard time.
My broken wrist has been so painful. I had to have surgery on my foot…and then it got infected after surgery…I have had a time…..and on top of that I am dealing with a very verbally abusive person in my life ya'll know who….whom filed false charges on me with the police…so now I have to go to court in September and hire a lawyer to protect my clean record…please pray for me…I am emotionally and physically exhausted.
praying for ya'll too

Kim, I don't really track anymore…it was "fun" when we had Sparkpeople…but I found Fat Secret to be lacking in correctness and many things weren't accounted for so now I just aim to watch calories, am NOT doing a good job on the sodium levels at all….I do much better when I actually cook things but that doesn't happen every day and the go to quick fixes are too often full of sodium. That cabbage was really good and I do love cabbage! I'll do better with the chicken next time.
Right now I track weight, FBS and BP daily. My FBS today is 144 so it's coming back down. I really miss my printer…for my budget work, charts and the like and keeping up with things.
Hey, I got goods to make tacos AND Tostadas…ground pork, shredded lettuce, cheese and I have refried beans, sour cream and Picante. I'll play more in the kitchen today and see what all I can find in my fridge and freezer.
I love sweet potatoes too. I like them with the Truvia SF brown sugar and light margarine…yum. Someone on one of my FB groups did a breakfast hash I'd love….with sweet potato tots, onion and pepper… and an egg on top…I will try that one day.
I have 3 different folks I follow on FB for light, easy and very beneficial exercises for us older, less stable folks. Justin Augustin, Kris Dobbs and a lady, Karen Brown…who does a lot of hers in the kitchen area, using the counter for stability. I love Justin's smile….cheers the heart. Now that my pain is less severe, praise God…I want to start moving more. I've been idle for so long…pretty much since my bad fall in June of 2023!
Missy, sweet sister…I am so very glad to see you here but so very sad to hear of your great pain, sorrow and troubles at the hands of "others". My heart and prayers go out to you, Love….God is aware of all the details and I pray He will pull you in, hold you closely, heal you…physically and spiritually and restore His joy to your broken heart. May He comfort , strengthen and stabilize you in the days ahead. You are loved and treasured, dear friend.
I got trash to the car and checked my mail. My car needs some attention…now needs wiper blades so added that to the list.
My Endo Doc called in a scrip for the Tresiba generic and I'm waiting for the price to do pick up. I have another scrip ready for pick up too so I will be going out again soon…to take care of that. I am thankful nobody is hounding me to come in for an appointment yet! LOL…
Have a blessed and beautiful Tuesday, Ladies. I love you lots…(Was "wordy" this morning!)

Oh Missy, I'm so sorry that you are going through so much all at once. Is there any way that you can get a affidavit from your husband's doctor stating that he is prescribed a medication for mental issues but refuses to take them - perhaps that will account for what he's done and the judge will see that it doesn't hold water. He also should have no proof of what he's accused you of so it's a he said/she said thing, and with that information you may have more to stand on. Have you let the doctor know that he isn't taking his meds and he is causing problems? I'm praying for you, for peace, a closeness with the Lord, and wisdom as you go through your issues. Love you!
Bren, Soooo happy you are doing better. You can get that sodium under control as well as the sugar. You've done it in the past and you can do it now (although the older we get the harder it is to do it!) FBS number was much better today! Praise the Lord.
I'm not feeling great today (although compared to Missy I'm doing awesome)! Pain is up a bit and I am super tired. I did get 6 hours of sleep and 2 hours of rest. I don't like how this new medication wipes me out. It's not attacking the pain like I thought it would. He said to give it two weeks and today is two weeks and the pain is worse! I'll call him next week and let him know. He said he would probably have to go to the first step RA med if this doesn't work because there are so few options for me. Trusting in the Lord in the midst of this.
Love y'all. 🙏

Boo! High hopes were had that the new meds would do some serious relieving of major pain. Yes…trusting the Lord for HIS answers and relief…no matter what. He knows what's going on and why, each day we are given. Continued prayers for you my friend!
Thank you…and praise God….for the major relief I am experiencing…I believe more improvement will come with some added activity and watching myself with the salt box and other causes of inflammation and fluid retention.
I got my new cologne yesterday….and it stinks too! I referred to it as a "stench" at one point! I've not worn fragrance much at all in almost 4 years…since I retired and am homebound by choice. I have now tried and discounted three colognes and 2 body spray things that I thoroughly dislike! LOL….I googled it and there are a number of reasons this can happen so that made me feel better….to know it's me and my reaction as opposed to poor formulations of fragrances! (expanding my vocabulary)…LOL Old skin VS young(er) going on.
I got a call from the pharmacy and my insulin is ready. It's the Tresiba generic, one month at the right price of $35. I am pleased and figure to switch to the 90 day supply come winter if need be. For now, the one month supply will force me to get out 1-2 times a month…to pick them up. I try to get my pick up dates the same for the two scrips to avoid the second outing.
I did tacos for dinner! i had ground pork and used that. They were certainly more hefty than Taco Bell's offerings! They were very good!

Love the lighthouse and that great verse! I saved that one so you may see it again down the road when I forget you already posted it! LOL!
I'm so happy that you are doing better lately. Praise the Lord! I did get out and took a short walk, about 410 steps. When I started hurting I came in, not wanting to overdo and not be able to go to Bible Study tonight. I'm feeling better today than yesterday! Praising Jesus for that.
I ordered a new desk pad that will work as a new mouse pad as well:
You've seen this one, but it always tickles me!
🤣😂

Me too! I loved the picture and the verse is a favorite. The promise of His rest and gentle care….
LOL….yes! I find myself saying of my old school chums when I see them on FB….
"gee….he/she hasn't aged well!" Honestly I recognize very, very few of them!That mat scrunched up, looks like a taco holder. I might use one of those….now that I actually did tacos. I had more for lunch to finish off the meat I'd cooked. I'm thinking dinner may be a noodle bowl with veggies since I found 2 bags of my favorite frozen blend in my freezer. They are diced small and are perfect in my omelet, noodle bowls, rice bowls and the like. I have more on order since I can only get them at HEB and I'll do a run there in the morning when I go to Walgreens.
I'm so glad you feel better today! It's such a blessing. I'm going down for a rest/reading/nap time then hope to clean the kitchen again when I get back up.
I got my bag of coffee and my kitchen stool cushion today….It should be more comfy than the thin one I have on it now. Have a good afternoon…and take good care of yourself! I'll do the same here…Love and prayers~

Yesterday was pretty good, today, my hands and hip are hurting again. The typing is what causes the most trouble, especially when I need to Cont-V or Cont-C to copy and cut - I do a lot of that during my Bible Study when I am looking at verses for specific topics. 😕
Ugh, there is this gnat flying around and he has bitten me three times on my hands. The bumps are tiny but itchy! Hopefully they won't last too long. I haven't even been bitten by a mosquito this year! Well, I guess if you hardly ever go outside it would be hard to get bitten! There were a ton of bugs out last night while I was walking home - I felt bombarded - but no bites - phew!
We are going out this afternoon with our Pastor and his wife (good friends) for my birthday lunch. Longhorn Steakhouse - woohoo - time for a filet! It's been a couple of years since I've had a petite filet and they make it sooo goood! We have a restaurant gift card we got three years ago and will probably use that, and even though it's for a healthy amount, we will probably have to pay more - such is life now!
Well, I'm going to go and get ready and then rest for a bit! Love you. I hope today is a good day as well!

I was thinking just yesterday , of your birthday and wondering if I'd missed it or it was coming up. Enjoy your outing and a good dinner!
I managed to get my trash out, deal with the dishwasher…pick up my meds and HEB order and had tummy turmoil before I could get away from HEB…prayed all the way home! This is now 6 times I've had this happen…As bad as it was….it could have been worse! Whew….
Can this be our new Noodle Shed? I'd like to spend a couple of weeks there.
A view from the inside, maybe?
0 -
Oh dear, I don't know how much of a discipline spot that would be - I think I would be glad to go there after messing up! How about we use it as a "Good Girl" spot?! An inspiration to do the right thing!
You didn't miss it, although I'm sure to miss yours! I just can't remember birthdays! Mine is the 31st, so Thank You so much for this early blessing!
Getting my hair cut this afternoon if we can get a time figured out for both of us. My pastor's wife cuts our hair, what a blessing that is, and she does a great job. She is self taught and does a wonderful job. We have such a good time when she comes to cut too! She'll get both of us today. She has to do mine fairly often since it grows so fast! For some odd reason my hair now wants to part on the side! Maybe it is all the gray coming in now.
I love your happy posts! I'm so grateful to the Lord that you aren't suffering as much as you had been. So sorry about the tummy issues though. I haven't been there in the car, but I have while at home. When it hits it hits and it doesn't care where you are. Can you take the Imodium before you leave the house, even if you don't feel like something may happen, it might delay or keep it from happening? I don't really know, but I do that with some of my meds just to keep something from happening.
Love you bunches.

Thank you for the giggle! The "Good Girl" spot! I do agree, I'd set up housekeeping there for awhile!
Birthdays: My Mama kept up with those from neighbors to celebrities. LOL…Me…not so much. I get FB prompts for my friends and my brother's was the same as mine, one year apart. My stepdaughter, Laura's is either tomorrow or the 31st…on your day!
I wish I had someone to come here to cut my hair. That's great that she can come do yours and Wade's. I hacked 2" off my pony tail few days ago. This is my morning look and my last hospital run in the ambulance. Why did no one suggest a comb? I do lose some, daily.
Thank you! It has certainly been an answer to prayers! I praise God for His mercy and grace and the gift of improvement! What a comfort and blessing my new chair has been!
I've had more than the 6 episodes/explosions, counting the ones at home and yep…when it hits, it hits. I may try the Imodium thing next time I have such an outing. Thanks for the idea. I make sure to keep them on hand. I was just thankful for spandex shorts and no neighborly conversation! I think my belly stresses at the thought of going out! LOL….not really, but I sure hate when it happens.
I've had a really restful day after the stresses of yesterday and it's been nice. I'm going to watch a bit of TV and maybe scrounge about for some dinner. Have a blessed evening…..Love you lots!

I tell you this so you won't feel alone - I had one of those (sort-of) episodes today. We went out and my stomach was cramping just a little bit before we left and by the time we got home I was just hoping I'd make it to the bathroom - just did, praise the Lord. I was so glad! Wade asks if I want to go with him, and so many times I say no, so I thought I would say yes this time and it was one of those times I should have said "NO!"
OOO, he got me a cheesecake for my birthday too! Yay! He surprised me today, said he couldn't wait until tomorrow. Happy Birthday to Laura too. A friend from my other team is tomorrow too! It was also Mom and Dad Gregory's anniversary as well as my parents anniversary. Everyone could remember mine because they had other ones to remember too. I do remember my SIL's birthday because it was the same day's as Mom's. We enjoyed a small dish of ice cream for Mom's birthday!
Well, it is time for this girl to lay down for awhile and maybe go to sleep! Love you

Oh Wow! Power of suggestion? I truly hate those episodes. So glad you got home in time. So far…I've had lycra shorts (tight legs) on or leggings….when I've lost the battle. One time at work, after hours, when I had to make a run out to remove an over lock, I had a horrid accident…had to clean me up and the bathroom…and thank God I had an oversized T-shirt there to wear home as shorts. LOL….put my legs thru the sleeves, pulled the neckline up and twisted it….it was dark and nobody but God saw me slinking home.
Oh my! Cheesecake….I so love cheesecake! I get it about 4 times a year….Enjoy it! I got the FB notice that Laura's BD is today! i can't believe she is 49!…mother of 6, (1 in heaven) and grandmother of 1. She was 5 when I first met her and her brother Steven was 7.
I have an order coming from Walmart…then I'll be going down for a nap! Enjoy your day!

I got my boneless ham hocks and rotisserie chicken split and bagged for the freezer…whew! I love the ham hocks in my beans and greens and you know I love such things!
I got another head of cabbage to play with and the one from HEB is almost twice the size of that baby one from Walmart! Yippee…I'll do some more, roasted with onion and garlic…
I have work to do…in sorting the fridge and freezer, cleaning and getting trash out…again…will start on that today. In the meantime…I'm still waiting for this guy to show up.
I feel pretty good today…hoping to set/meet some goals in September. Wishing you all a blessed and beautiful day…and a wonderful new month ahead.

I hope you had a good weekend. Mine was very good. Celebrated my birthday for four days in a row! The HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON animated movies are two of my favorites, so Wade got me the live action new one. It mirrored the animated version pretty closely and was very good! I also got a box of soft pretzels, and you know about the dinner out and cheesecake! Lots to eat for this weekend.
We had two very good services yesterday. Pastor David and Wade had gone out on Saturday to the dump and then decided to go to Straits where lots of people like to fish and they were able to witness to some people there, so they shared about that experience. So interesting the people they meet. Just a very good day.
I didn't weigh this morning, kind of scared to - I wasn't very careful over the weekend!
Well, it's lunch time so I will wish you a very happy day. Love you!
