Thanks my friend!I believe the two weeks major sleep disturbances and the forced activity on Saturday really tripped me up. It had been at least a month since I had so much pain! I did sleep a bit better last night but was down from noon until 7:30 last night, then up at 2:30, once I did go to bed for the night so am inching back towards my normal get up time of 3:30-4:00…
I'm pushing myself to get some tidy up work done. Loaded the dishwasher, got laundry dragged into the living room, was just picked up and the little woman who does the pick up/delivery is precious! She's a tiny lady and hefts that big, heavy bag like a champ. It took all I had in me, just to drag it 20 feet…forget ever picking it up! I gave vacuuming a lick and a promise, got the trash to the car…whew!
I have a Walmart order coming shortly. I'll have something to eat once I get that put away. I found chicken meatballs at WM…a new item! I love Rosina's and never knew they had such a nice selection. Some days I'll heat up some meatballs in sauce with a sprinkle of Parmesan for a quick meal. Yummy…
Another thing I found was diced frozen chcken breast! Hooya….I got some catfish nuggets too so have plenty to play with in the time ahead. This is on the agenda…Checks my boxes!
I ordered two storage tubs too…so I can sort the things in my closet for give away. I can drag one tub at a time in here to the desk chair while I sort and collect things to pass down… I hope to start that project soon…once I get my initial cleaning done to my satisfaction.
I found out why I was having trouble sending my son money! My Target card had been compromised. I got a letter stating suspicious activity had been noticed…I got an English speaking rep the second time I called, praise God and we got it taken care of. The card has been cancelled and a ne one will be sent. I truly dread phone dealings due to my hearing as it's such a struggle to understand….I used a different card and got some money sent and had to do the same with the laundry service just now…
I'm going to have a nap after lunch…and hope to be back on a more normal schedule very soon…like with a 2 hour nap and not 7…
Love and prayers for us all…

Oh my, I hope you don't have any trouble with that suspicious activity! You did good with getting all of those jobs done! 👏 (I think that's hands clapping! LOL)
I have a new hand brace coming today. It should give my left hand more support. Some days it's fine and other days I have to wrap it in a short stretch bandage (like and Ace).
Wade is working on the hallway that is basically our entrance hall. The ceiling got messed up when the roof above leaked so we had to take up the flooring and the ceiling tiles. He replaced the roof over this area last Fall, so he is working on the ceiling first, then the walls (bead board and paint) and then the floor (Wood-look vinyl tiles). There is one wall that is the exposed wood planking of the original part of the house and it looks so nice. There are two planks that need replacing and we found more planking under the little window that looks out of the kitchen, so he will take from there to fix the bad ones since that will all be under bead board, dry wall, and paint. Yeah! I like rustic and this is rustic looking.
Well, not much else to share. Love y'all.

Praying for you gals.
I am still having a hard time healing for both of my wrists. Having both trapezium bones fractured in both wrists is challenging indeed. It is the bone that connects to the thumb. I have a hard time using both hands.
My marriage is very much in need of prayer.
It is becoming harder on me to take care of my sweet grandbaby. I love having her with me, she actually makes my day…but mentally and physically I am drained!
It is hard living with someone with many different types of mental illness. It's like walking on eggshells.
I WILL ALWAYS BELIEVE IN MIRACLES

That's a beautiful picture/scripture too, Kim! The water…smooth…calm…water is so peaceful. And God's word is such a comfort.
Yikes! The hard labor that Wade is into…makes me tired at the thought! It's great that he' able to do those things for sure.
I hope the new hand brace does a great job and you find it very helpful. I made such things in my 10 years at Sports Supports…We did supports/braces for hands to feet. My last years there were in the Special Orders department…I was sent to the Dallas Mavericks training center to do measurements for a knee brace for one of the players….that was wild…my head was level with his navel. I did a wet vest for John McEnroe too…What memories!
I am very thankful to have had a really good night's rest, more normal than the past 2 weeks plus….only a short nap yesterday, and a full night down minus 2.5 hours reading…then got up at 4:45. God is SO good!
Missy….I'm so glad to see you and prayers continue in your behalf. Patience is a virtue sorely tried when we are in great pain, discomfort and grief. God knows it all and I pray for healing, strength and mercy in this time of such need. May He hold you close and comfort you, as only He can.
Thank you Ladies, for prayers in my behalf…I know God hears them and He answers. He is with us in each day we get and we are loved beyond comprehension. be blessed abundantly in this new day…

So good to see you, Missy! I'm sorry the hands are doing poorly. I wore my new brace yesterday and found it quite difficult to not be able to use my thumb on just one hand! I can't imagine not being able to use either. Poor Wade, he'd just gone to sleep and I was putting up my Kindle - well trying to put it up in the pocket that my sheet has, but I couldn't get it into the pocket without my thumb, so I tried to very quietly put it on top of my other Kindle and set my glasses on top of it - nope, thump, bang - eek! He very nicely didn't say anything! Phew! I hope that you find healing soon. Will continue to pray for you and for your husband. Have you been able to talk to his doctor about the struggles you are having with his troubles?? I know he can't make him take his meds, but maybe he will have suggestions that could help. God has a solution and He will never leave you nor forsake you so stand firmly with Him. And always know that we are here, we love you and are praying for you.
Bren, so happy that you had a good night's rest, makes so much difference to how we feel. I've been doing better fatigue-wise since taking all my meds at one time around 9:30-10:00. Getting them all together and earlier makes it easier for me to fall asleep (around 12:15-12:45), and I wake up once to go to the restroom and then sleep until around 7-8. That has really helped with that feeling like I just have to go to sleep again! Praise the Lord. What a fun thing to do, making the braces and things. I have one for just about every joint from my ankles to my shoulders! LOL! I haven't been wearing them, just to hot to add clothing, but if things hurt this winter I will! I've just been wearing hand stuff and then my compression leg garments on cooler days.
Well, time for resting my hands, they are beginning to hurt from all the typing. Love y'all. 🙏

Oh it was, Kim…."fun"…and I loved most of the ladies I worked with…as always, there were ones with feelings of superiority and snarky attitudes. Loved my boss John…such a gentle spirit. The talents God gave me in that job, came up again when I worked for another great boss…doing travel/ sports bags for high schools. We did 4 shows during that time…in Waco, Arlington, Lubbock…where his folks live, and in McAllen. He wanted to give me the business when we shut down…but I had nowhere to take it and it was just me! That was when I got my last job….and the easiest in my life.
On the card issue….I won't be charged for the attempt at using it. It was an attempt at $77 and change…This is twice to have happened and they are quick to catch nefarious/questionable activity and notify me right away. They had tried to call but we know how that works here…If I am at my desk and see who's calling…I may answer. I only use 3 cards now….and my needs are simple.
Oh Yes! Good rest is such a blessing! Last night was a second. I do get up every single hour for a bathroom run but there it is. That can be super stressful when the pain is in an extreme cycle. As we all know too well.
Speaking of pain…that's easing up again too and I am so thankful. I had 6 days down after that Saturday rush! Wow…time flies. I do feel better this morning. I have things to mark off that perpetual list of mine.
Those tubs I got are much too big and are now offered up as gimmees….They are 30 gallon and I need 18….ack! Oh well….Someone else can be blessed to have them and use them. I will see if i can empty one I already have and use it to sort the others…one at a time. I have two with no lids to give away but will fill them up first. That was a store error. Target sent the wrong size lids, required a return to the store that was beyond my doing and I'd already poked holes for the pull ropes.
Wishing you all a blessed and peaceful day…Love and prayers…as we open the gift of this new day.

That verse, in that translation, made me smile! That is how Jesus should make us feel, like leaping for joy (well maybe I can just go up on my toes - if I leap I more than likely will fall down!)
Doing better taking my meds the way I am now, although I am tired this morning, spent too long reading last night! I try to quit between 12-12:15, earlier if I get sleepy! For some reason I didn't get sleepy last night, but Jesus helped me fall asleep soon after I put up my Kindle. Pain is a bit easier this morning too.
I hope that our hurt ladies are feeling better today. Praying for you.
Love

Oh, I would as well….Like getting on my knees…I can't physically do that anymore but I can humble myself in my heart before Him…and singing….I can make a joyful noise!
My sleep wasn't quite as solid last night but that's OK…I'll do a nap this morning and make an attempt to be rolling about by 10…
I bit my tongue last night, rather severely and that was a really rude awakening. Was very glad I didn't maul it as I did once a few years back.
I have my friend Natasha down for those big tubs. It's been a few months since we discussed getting the printer set up…as I was waiting to feel better pain wise and with the past two weeks having a set back…he'd need to be quick about it before I nodded off in public. I would like very much to get the think plugged in and usable.
I woke up at midnight so will go back down in a few minutes. It's 3:20 now but I'm not ready to be up for the day.
Have a good weekend all…Love you!
0 -
Amen! Today is one of those days. I forgot to take my meds until a little after 11 last night, so I am still feeling the effects of it. I need to set my alarm to remind myself until it becomes a habit!
We are getting ready for rain and wind today from that "Nor-easter" off of our coast. It's been chilly the last couple of days, but in the low 70's today, so no need yet for the winter clothes. I think it's supposed to get cold enough to need something warmer in the near future! Praise the Lord, all of the storms this season have veered off into the ocean and stayed away from us - God is amazing!
Well, have a blessed weekend, love y'all.

I'm having one of those days too. I'm going back down for a bit after my Kindle charges. I've had tummy pain/rumbles since about 2 AM…took some Imodium and should be OK shortly.
I love my blanket on my bed. I've had it for about 18 years! It's a bit cooler here too but still in the 80's during the day. I'll be glad when I can turn off the AC for the year. I still use my fan at night…and hunker down under that comfy blanket.
I took a look at my tongue to assess the damages from my bite and the whole right side underneath is black/bruised! Yikes! I was asleep when I chomped on it….but not for long!
Natasha's hubby came for the tubs so I can hunker down with no obligations for a good while now. I am so thankful for my comfy spot…and God's provision of all I need.

Oh my, you need to stop dreaming about eating that juicy steak! The outside of my tongue is all chewed up from when I was young and chewed gum, I always bit the edge of my tongue. I can't say I ever chomped on it to bruise it thought - ouchy-wa-wa! Hope it heals quickly for you.
0 -
Thank you! I'm way behind on hugs! It's usually the sides I get as well.
I used to elicit "poor baby" from my Mama…LOL…The last time for that was when my right arm was in so much pain I couldn't use it and had to ask her to put my hair in a pony tail and help me get my shirt on. She did up a makeshift sling for me and I got lots of sympathy until I confessed the pain and immobility was from playing Pepper Panic nonstop….I even had to eat with my left hand! That was scary….She said if she had known that , she would not have felt sorry for me!
0 -
Love the shocked kitty face! No way would Mama not feel sorry for you! She might have scolded, but she would have done all the same things!
Phew, our rain and wind are over. The neighbor across the street was quite flooded in his front yard, but nothing we hadn't seen before. We had a nice puddle in the front yard and one in the back yard too. The chickens were so funny - the white ones looked so skinny and raggedy when they were soaking wet, couldn't tell much difference with the brown and black ones! I was watching out the kitchen window where I can see the back screened in porch and out comes one chicken, then two until five of them came out from under the porch! I don't blame them, I'd have hidden under there too. Praise the Lord it wasn't as bad as we had thought it might be. We got a ton of rain, but the flooding came with the high tides, and so it wasn't much different from other rainy times.
Still having pain. I was hoping to get out and walk today, but my right leg is hurting too much. I'm sleepy again today too. I didn't remember to take my meds until 11 last night rather than 9:30 like I wanted to - boohoo.
I hope y'all had a good weekend and get to enjoy some cooler weather which has finally reached our area.
Love y'all.

So glad you all are safe from the storm. I love the water but a storm surge wouldn't make me happy much.
Perhaps a note or two with meds time in a spot you'd not miss might help! I'm a visual type…LOL…as in putting my car keys in the fridge so I'd remember to grab my lunch on work days. The table was a catch all for such things as my Kindle, shades etc. There were a few times tho that I left my Kindle at work and that was irritating…tho I had the heavy Fire as back up. I haven't even turned it on in about 5 years now…
I too, am having a painful day…I got some chores done yesterday so today has been more of a rest day. I cleaned/sorted my fridge yesterday at last and behind one of my baskets was a package of chicken sausage that had slipped down a peg and hidden out of sight! Best by date in April so it was there for 6 months! Yikes! I was sad to have to toss it. Being a favorite and rather pricy and all…Chipotle and Monterrey Jack….
I can "see" those chickens! It's good they had the sense to tuck away! Growing up, we raised chickens, guineas, goats and pigs…and a mean goose that would run up behind us kids and nip us behind the knee. Daddy thought it was funny until it was his turn…and he killed it for dinner. He killed a couple of roosters too, that would attack us any time we went outside to play.
I'm off to watch some news, refill my water tumbler and think about what to do for dinner. Hope you rest well tonight and feel more spiffy tomorrow! Love and prayers…

That is so funny - poor goose, should have left dad alone! I don't think I've ever eaten goose, but I had duck on our honeymoon - the one and only time I've had it and keep looking for it in different restaurants we go in, but we don't usually go where they would serve duck! LOL! I think McD's should have a duck sandwich like they have a chicken sandwich - just for us folks who love the taste of that bird but rarely get a chance to eat it. What do you think, about $25.00 for a duck sandwich nowadays???!!!
Well, it's lunchtime. I'm going to do roast beef and cheese on my no carb tortilla. Yummers. Love you

Morning ladies - you are in my prayers - praying that you are being faithful to the Lord with respect to your dealing with food issues - remember that He loves you unconditionally but He does want you to take care of your body spiritually, physically, emotionally and nutritionally. So maybe it is time to write down those 4 parts He looks at and see where you are - where do you need to improve - are you at your best spiritually, physically, emotionally and nutritonally. What do you need to work on. Due to my fall and being in the hospital for close to 3 months I had a lot of time to think about them - and I see where I need to change - not talking about changing but changing - obeying the Lord as that is what He calls us to. So how about sharing how you are doing with obeying the Lord in these areas
I am making slow progress with getting back to being able to walk - things like transitioning from my chair to standing and then walking takes some time and thought. I have to really think about where my feet are buy am making progress. But I have been able to walk the length of the house without stopping or sitting down - so now the goal is to walk from my chair to the other end of the house and back again. Also having to work more with getting myself up without assistance - it is coming but still need help. Yesterday when I finished dialysis the nurse made me get myself out of the bed with no help - difficult yes, took sometime but I did it.
Well Norm has gone out for coffee and will pick up more handy dart tickets for me to use in order that I can get to dialysis 3 x a week. - this frees Norm up from taking me up and bringing me home - less wear and tear on our car and it also gives hims a little more time without having to care for me. When we was ready to go out for coffee he took the walker and moved it away from me - this takes the temptation of getting up alone and trying to walk - I still need him to be with me when I am up as I have a bigger chance of falling again
So I am now tired and need to get off the computer - 5 minutes is all I can take at one time now- that might be a blessing right. While in the hospital I got hooked onto using my phone to play games - so now have to break that up
Time to work a little on a blanket I am making and also need to do a little reading.

What a blessing you are, Marilyn. I do have a healthy diet and my weight is stable right now. Having something sweet now and again though is a struggle for me. I need to limit myself to one day a week. In our house we talk about moderation, not cutting out something completely, but making sure that it isn't something that we have often. We are always working on the recipes we use, to make them more healthy. I ended up going from one day a week to a three day weekend! That needs to stop and I will be saying "NO" more frequently than I have been. We used to have to take away the walker from Mom too. She just didn't understand that she couldn't stand on her own, or even work the walker on her own. Those were difficult days. I am so glad that you are improving all the time and will continue to pray for you and for your family!
I see my NP at the end of the month and will talk to her about the pain that I am having and hope that she will have some answers. I see the Arthritis doc, the pulmonary doc, and the new GI doc in Nov. I am supposed to have an MRI in Dec for my pancreas (to make sure the lesions have stayed the same or improved) as well as a CT scan on my lungs - but no dates for those yet.
Well, I hope that you ladies have a wonderful day and if you are able to get to Bible Study or Prayer Meeting, that you will be blessed. We are having our fellowship meal before we have our study tonight, always love those.
Love you

Hello Ladies…
I'm rather late showing up today…but glad to see you both had been by. I'm kind of dragging today so haven't accomplished much at all. I got up at 6…had a short nap at 1:30….and may just write it off as a rest day and aim higher tomorrow.
Kim, just reading your schedule of appointments makes me need a nap! I'm hoping you get some positive reinforcement from your team…and some major pain relief! I have great doctors…but I still don't want to go see them!
Marilyn, thanks for the input and encouragement you share. It's great to hear of your progress and efforts to become mobile again. So glad you have a good team and awesome hubby to help with your care.
We get the Monarchs coming thru Abilene on their way to Mexico…what a glorious sight they are…tho I only see them on TV since I don't get out and about anymore.
I looked at an insurance site this morning and all day long, have had people all over the place, calling, trying to sell me insurance….and pop ups on Facebook. Yikes. I got a notice yesterday from Progressive with a smidge of a discount and for convenience, will stay with them…I pay way too much, considering I drive less than 25 miles a month…more like 10-15 tops. I still have a half tank of gas from August 2024….
This funny delivery meme has it about right…
UPS: "Your package is in your city, on a truck driven by Mike. It will arrive on your doorstep at 6:27 pm today."
FedEx: "Your package is coming. You'll get it when we get there."
USPS: "What package?"
Amazon: "We are already inside your apartment. Check the bathroom."
Facebook:"We know you were thinking about getting a toaster yesterday. Here are 20 ads for toaster ovens." (or 20 ads for insurance, in your case Ms. Bradshaw….)I found a new use for my microwave omelet maker I love…I've used it for hot dogs, smoked sausage and now….frozen meatballs. This was yesterday's lunch. I've been having cabbage and other veggies in a stir fry and this was really good.
I got my wok out yesterday, to play with. I have spinach and a chicken thigh I need to deal with today for dinner. I'll see how that goes.
Enjoy the rest of your day…I will at my spot as well…Love you all…

I'm so glad that we were able to get almost half off of what we had been paying by changing auto insurance! I really like our insurance guy, he takes really good care of us. It was crazy, the company we went to is an Allstate subsidiary, and our company was Allstate. When we called to ask them about a lower rate, nada, zip, nothing! They called when we changed and said they could have put us with that company - well, you had your chance! We'd been with them for a lot of years, but paying so much because other drivers refuse to get insurance is just not going to work, not on a fixed income either! Craziness out there in the world that doesn't really care about people. Praise the Lord you got even a teensy discount.
We didn't end up having our meal last night. With the tides being so high there was a chance for water over the roads and our Pastor doesn't want us out there when they flood, so we had a Zoom meeting. It was very good. We will have our Sunday fellowship meal on the last Sunday of the month - Lord willing things will have quieted down by then! 😀 (Wow, when I was sitting back that smiley face looked like "The Joker" from Batman!)
Love y'all very much.

I had an agent for over 28 years and the last 4, they said my Progressive was the best deal….right…so I finally just decided to deal with Progressive directly…and save my $20 agent fee every 6 months. I keep full coverage on it. Yes…all the noncompliant, law abiding ones increase our costs across the board. I think my online search helped get the slight discount. I got it in May for the first time and had done the same…looking for lower cost as she's sitting in the driveway 99.9% of the time and each mile I drive cost over $3 just for the insurance.
That's a good thing, having Zoom, when you all can't gather in person. I hope things do settle by Sunday. My heart aches for all the folks in the midst of such stormy conditions and we hear of more each day…So many have no way of escape.
I got another letter from my son with his wish list for November. It's the quarterly incentive thing and I do the "shopping". He said they will be getting tablets and have the ability to do e-mails, phone calls etc. but that will not shake any extra money from my tree! LOL…I find myself wondering HOW can they afford free tablets for so many? I'd say give them pets to care for.
For the past month, my computer has been doing weird things, mail takes a long time to load , no access to my Walmart app thing…and yesterday, while waiting for mail to open, I got a pop up of folders…and a message from David from New Year's eve…in maybe 2016, 2 years before he passed away. I keep getting the notice to download chrome in preparation to switch to Windows 11….what if I don't want to?Oh well….in the big picture, these things are a mere pixel. I'll have some coffee and get on with my day.
Love you lots!

I have 11 on my computer and can't even remember 10. I just use the desk top function and skip the other thing with all the "windows". 10 will no longer be supported, and may even not be at this point - which means no updates which is going to make your computer even glitchier because tech is moving on. I hate that it's so, but sometimes it makes things faster and smoother - but what about the cost???
My computer is 5 years old and I haven't really had any problems with it and am hoping it will keep going for quite awhile longer. Wade is using the Dell we have had for eons now. It's super slow, but he can still get some things done on it. Time to ditch that one and get him a new one - it will just take time to save up for it.
Well, it's lunch time and lunch is lasagna - yippee! Love y'all.

I did the erasing of history again this morning, made sure I left passwords unchecked but still have to jump hoops to get back in my normal places…here, facebook, bank, e-mail etc. Didn't help speed anything up. Oh well
My dishwasher is on the blink and we know I need that thing! I'll send a maintenance note in but for he weekend, will manage to do without it I suppose. It's been a long time since I had to do dishes by hand.
0 -
Ours started leaking so we've been doing the dishes since then - well, Wade mostly, but some times I try to sneak doing them since he stops me if he's around.
Have you thought about updating your drivers? I know that our Dell tower was super slow and it was from outdated drivers. I went to my system settings (the giant gear) and then to storage which had the drives information on it. There you can optimize your drives (which is that they called it) or see if they are working as they should. Just a thought. Make sure all your security is on as well.
I'm going to send Jennifer a note and let her know that the pain is not getting any better but rather it's worse. The only thing that doesn't hurt is my left hip and SI joint! I need someone to make it stop! I took a muscle relaxant yesterday and that didn't help the pain at all, it just made me sleep through it!
I've been doing a word study on Ps 139, my favorite, and it's amazing how much more powerful the words are when you look at their meanings. "How precious are Thy thoughts to me, O God, how vast is the sum of them." I think that's vrs 16. Precious = prized, rare. We have God's thoughts in that beautiful book called the Bible! Just the thoughts He knew we would need to live for Him. We have a precious, a prized treasure in those words. I was thinking about when people call it God's love letter to us. How do we feel when we receive a letter that we had been hoping for. We feel such joy. We rip it open and devour the words, maybe even holding it up to our heart. That's what God's Word should be to us, something we cherish and can't wait to read. I thought about precious metal, something not easily found or affordable - we have it! There are billions of Bibles out there in the world, but how many people know they have a rare treasure, a priceless treasure - God's very thoughts for us to read and to share! I love doing Word Studies! God is amazing!
Love you

I haven't done the driver update yet. I have a Dell too…a compact one…and love it. I've had it about 7-8 years now and only had it in the shop once for a hard drive replacement. I don't want to mess with Windows 11…and hope it's not forced…like the AI everything shoved at us. But then I am content with CDs, cassette tapes and regular headphones….and moving in the slow lanes of life.
I'm going to do some dishes by hand today and see how I fare. I have a note ready to drop in the office and a little Jesus doll to pop on a neighbor's window ledge on the way. Yes…I got some after the joy that seeing the one at Walgreens brought me! I've put two out so far…at the mail boxes.
It's raining today…so on the dark side out there but I love it! I don't want to drive in it…so will wait to take the trash out. I need to drum up some energy for the task.
I'm so sorry to hear the pain is worse! Prayers for healing and comfort…I sure understand the need for relief. Hope you can find good rest in spite of the pain.
Love you….We are…

Good Monday morning!
I hope you had a blessed and peaceful Sunday and all is calm at your spots on the map. I', off to a good start today, after a rest day yesterday.
I'm doing dishes by hand, for the first time in several years and since I can lean on the sink a bit…I am doing OK…and stop when the back says enough for the moment. I want to get the kitchen and dining area spiffed up before having maintenance come in. I tried the breaker switch thing for a reset on the dishwasher…to no avail, about 5 times…..so it will need his attention.
I did a Walmart order yesterday, got trash to the dumpster at last…and little else, tho I was up and alert until 4 PM….I'm napping a bit less, sleeping at night a bit more so am hoping this becomes the norm for me again. While it's a wonderful blessing to stop and rest as needed…I miss being more productive with my days and keeping up with my cleaning tasks.
Wishing you all sparks of joy in this new day and the comfort of the closeness of our Lord. Love and prayers…

I'm getting ready to sit out on the porch with Wade, but wanted to make sure I popped in here first.
I called my arthritis doc and he will call be back (or his receptionist will). Hopefully he will have something I can do for the pain. I did get to worship in the AM, but had to sit out for the pm worship, hurting too much. Thank you so much for your prayers.
Will talk to you again tomorrow and get both of your posts read! Love you

I keep thinking I'll go out to the courtyard some mornings…but haven't done it yet. I do like the privacy of a porch. Enjoy your time there….
Maintenance was in…It's Shane! I'm so glad he's still here and maybe they just moved Mary to another property? I didn't want to ask but I may tomorrow…I'll get a new dishwasher installed in the morning. The pump is out on this one. I got all my dishes done but my skillet and wok…I'll do those shortly, and put away the ones I have in the drainer. I had to do them in about 6 phases as my back would go south in about 7 minutes.
Prayers for all of us….with our assorted needs.

Oh, how nice that Shane came! I hope that Mary is happy where she is now. I'm the same when I do the dishes, I can go about that long and then my lower back says - no more! I try to get to them before Wade does! He is out getting my new med this morning. I talked to the arthritis PA yesterday afternoon and he prescribed a med for autoimmune diseases. He said that just because my labs didn't indicate an autoimmune disease it could be lurking just below the surface. With a 1:80, which is the tipping point of either you got it or you don't, and the symptoms I've got, he is tipping to the got it side even though the labs said not. On some of them I was on the edge. I'll keep taking what he prescribed before because it is keeping the headaches at bay, although I had a doozy this morning - but two x-strength Tylenol knocked it out. Praise the Lord!
Well, lunch time. I'll do my yogurt for lunch then have some chuck roast for dinner. Wade thought he'd pulled a couple of pork chops out of the freezer but it ended up being a roast - heehee! That will be extra good too.
Love you!

Praying the new regimen will make a big difference in your pain levels…and quickly. I am paying for my busy day Monday and have had a rough go of things with mine…back, hips etc. I am praying for some relief today.
I love my new dishwasher…loaded it last night for a run. I've always had good service with our maintenance here…well in this apartment anyway. When I was in the first one, not only did we have poor maintenance, but poor management a lot of the time. Like when the upstairs neighbor let water overflow and it was pouring into my kitchen and bathroom and the guy suggested an umbrella…not funny. Our lot improved greatly with Mary and Shane on board and the little guy that did my bathroom work last year. I loved him too! He got transferred to another complex and Shane has been on his own here. I'm hoping I don't have any issues for a good while now. I'd love new tile/flooring in the kitchen but am not going to ask for it.
I had one of my rambling nights last night, got back to sleep around 3 AM so slept until 8:15. No coffee this morning.
My weight is up…BP/glucose is high as well. I had pasta and some chicken meatballs for dinner last night. I like the meatballs. I need to do a Kitchen Inventory and meal plan. I haven't done that in a long time and I know I have things in there I need to pass down….before I get into it. Like pancake mix.
I did use my machine on Sunday, while writing to my son. I got about 20-30 minutes total. Then Monday, dealing with the dishes and other chores….kinda wiped me out for a bit. I'll see what I can get done today since I did take most of yesterday as a rest day.
Have a blessed day at your spots….I will at mine for sure. It's 59 for the day's start…and I love it!
