@Tabatha_Cain WOOHOO ON FLY BY FAST TUESDAY at work!! I hope today did the same. Do you have Thurs off? Hopefully the chiropractor will be able to go through your file. It makes a huge difference when they see the x rays!! I had one who didn't want to do any, in the end I told him "You are hurting me more than helping me." HE FINALLY did an x ray, looked at it when i was there saying "OH YOU ARE RIGHT!! Your spine does this, not that!" That was the last day I saw him!!! He hadn't been listening in over a year!! The Dr in CO though was amazing. That's what I wish for you. Oh, Tabatha when I hit that "I can't function" part, since I'm not working and 97% of the time at home, I Do crash, at once. I even shut my phone down. Usually in 1 or 2 hours I am awake and somewhat functional. Usually. Though I am on a long time one now from Sunday so far to today and apparently I'll need more rest for awhile!! I had way over done it on Saturday. I KNEW TO LISTEN to my body, you are wise if you can do the same. I am so sorry you go through this. Its a hard adjustment.

Good Morning VIP Friends:
I hope you are all doing well this morning. Today is Friday and I have today and tomorrow of work and then I have another day off. Yesterday was a day off and I spent the day at the dentist, doctor, and chiropractor. I am exhausted and I did not sleep well last night. I feel like I laid down and then woke up. I am not exhausted feeling yet, but just that I know I did not sleep well and I am feeling it feeling. Not sure how to describe it other than that.
@Dianedoessmiles1- My issue is I feel fine until the next day. Then I can barely move and I am in pain. So I don't know when enough is enough, because I don't start feeling the effects until the next day.
Well I hope you all have a wonderful Friday.

@Tabatha_Cain How was work today? Today I was able to meet with a friend I used to see daily (neither of us is well, but shoot we live NEXT to each other (on purpose, but 2 different high rises, though next to each other). That was NICE to see her again!! I am hoping tomorrow another friend and I can go OUT AND PLAY!! LOL okay SHOP!! T and I did shop today for groceries. I want to make a lasagna, so I got the stuff for that and some other stuff. YO food sure has GONE UP!! Thankfully it didn't involve buying eggs!! LOL those crazy things are up to 9.99!! HUH? Those are NAME BRAND EGGS I was buying not to long ago at 2.93!! I do not buy them now. I can get protein from yogurt, cottage cheese, and weirdly I've been drinking BOOST to get that and calcium in also.
Its so easy to overdo when we feel well. Hopefully today I kept my body in a comfortable zone, though we were gone about an HOUR and on my feet during that, but hopefully, that wasn't to much,,, when I came home I laid down and OOPS SLEPT for 4 HOURS!! i am doing well to get that at night.
@Kurtize WOOHOO Joyce, how is it going at your NEW HOUSE and in the old area again? Are you settled in?

I hope you are all doing well this morning. Today is Saturday. I was supposed to work today, but I called in. My boss knows why I called in as well. I asked her for the last two weeks for this Saturday off due to my bonus daughter having her gender reveal today for her pregnancy. Well I am not missing that. She is my daughter. My boss had 2 weeks to find someone to cover my shift as we are not allowed to do that ourselves. The supervisor has to send out the request. She did nothing for 2 weeks so I called in. I don't care if I take a point. I am not missing my daughter's gender reveal for my grandchild. To me that is important. Oh and next week I have a job interview. This job will require me to go into the office however I will be a legal assistant and working for the prosecutors office. That makes me happy. I have had my paralegal degree since 2012 and have not been able to get into the legal industry. I have a bachelor's degree for sakes. I mean come on. So I am hoping that someone will give me a chance.
@Dianedoessmiles1 - That is awesome that you were able to get out and visit a friend and get groceries. Yes eggs are expensive. Can't even get egg whites right now. Everyone is buying those instead. Will probably have to start separating the egg myself.
Well I hope you all have a wonderful Saturday.

@Tabatha_Cain Oh I totally AGREE!! I'd NOT Miss that either!! Is it a boy or girl? How was the party? LOL They are so cute to be a part of. I had a great time at GD things. Plus all of the SHOPPING I got to do!! WOOHOO!!! ENJOY every moment of it. I'd take the point also. LOL SORRY BOSS but with 2 weeks to find someone and not even try, come on!! BUT, maybe the boss wanted that if they have to many workers on for today. It seems cruel to do that to a hard worker, but on paper it sort of makes sense.
I've gone for jobs with having of gone to college for accounting, but as you know I was BURNED OUT! LOL Working for the city can easily do that to one. SURE It LOOKS good, sounds good, but YO!! When I'd go for a job I often heard "you are over qualified. There are 2 things you can do. Do not put down you have a bachelor's degree unless it's a requirement to have one. Or 2 say something along the lines of "I'd like to start at this level, so I can do a great job for you. Its where my interest lies." type of thing. YOU ARE GREAT At words, we do not need to disclose everything though to put something we've not done (LOLOL I can't people do this, but they SURE DO!) to bloat up a resume, well, in the end it's not hard to be caught. Or maybe it is,,,,
I just made lasagna. I can say it LOOKS GOOD, but it's not driving me MAD with the smell, but I worked so hard to do it. Its taken me 3 HOURS!! YO!! But, Tabatha, you know how quickly when we overdo our bodies SCREAM AT US and mine has been all along doing this. But, I've been craving one and can't find one I really like. LOL We'll see if I like MINE!! If someone else had made it I'd be going CRAZY, but when I make stuff sometimes it grosses me out!! WERIDO I AM but LOL i am okay with that!!0 -

I hope you are all doing well this morning. Today is Sunday and well we are in a wet and rainy day today. My husband has been the best. Both Saturday and Sunday he just let me sleep in until about 8 am both days. I am normally during the week up at 5 am. So this was a treat for an extra 6 hours of sleep. Yesterday we had the gender reveal for our second grandchild. Well it is a boy. So both our daughters are having boys this year. My daughter is due May 5, 2025 and Joe's daughter is due September 12, 2025. I cannot wait to meet both the babies. They are both going to be so adorable.
@Dianedoessmiles1 - We are having another grandson. So both boys for our first grandchildren on either side of us. I have already bought one item each for the babies. Although I have done way more for my daughter's pregnancy. Joe's daughter grew up without a Mom since her died when she was little. So she does not come to me for anything. She relies on friends and her husband's parents more than me. Which we have only known each other 3 years so I get it. I will have to hang back on this one. I certainly did not pad my resume. A degree was required for the position so I did put I have the degree, but they can clearly see I have not used my knowledge since I got the degree since all of my employers have been insurance companies. I just hope they are thinking this is an opportunity to teach someone who is green the system. That would be nice.
Well I hope you all have a wonderful Sunday

@Tabatha_Cain , awww hopefully the 2 boys will be around each other from time to time, or more. SWEET!!! Your step D may be thinking you'll favor your BS over hers. LOL remember those prego hormones? They are CRAZY with things true and not true, and perceptions are not always 100%. I had so much fun with getting stuff for both boys though with the 2nd boy my GD already had so many things. She would ask for specific items which is AWESOME!!! No buying something that would not be used. Her mother still would buy things my GD did not ever want. Her mother would not listen, LOL I did listen. I love it when a new Mom (or new again) Mom knows exactly what they want. Awwww you'll LOVE being a grandmother. Have you decided what it is you wish to be called? When I was asked that question I knew immediately I wanted to be "Grandma"!!! LOLOL My GD mother who used to copy me a lot said she ALSO wanted to be "Grandma" I quickly reminded her "Its taken! You can not figure out something else." She decided Nana and Nana fits her so well. We both love the boys so much and of course you'll be the same. ENJOY ENJOY!! May will be here fast!!
I hope you had a great day!! That you were able to relax some. WOOHOO On the extra sleep. I had a great day also. I went to meeting this AM after we went out to eat at Applebee's, yummy the honey hot chicken. LOL when the woman set it down in front of me, it was so hot it was still BUBBLING!! Oh, my it was so good. We had a great time the 6 of us. I came home and I CRASHED OUT at once, and slept for 3 hours!! A friend called and we laughed and laughed, with a very enjoyable conversation. AND now here I am!! AN AWESOME DAY!!

I hope you are all doing well this morning. Today is Monday and our fence is getting installed today. I am really excited about that. Hopefully they get it in and finished today. It would be nice. I am really excited for the job interview I have on Thursday. I would like to see if I have a chance of getting it. I do believe it pays more than what I am currently making, but at what cost. Is it more hours, is it overtime required. That sort of thing. I know I will be going back into the office. I have a ton of questions to ask since the job did not say hours during the day that I would work, or how many I would have to have in the week other than full time.
@Dianedoessmiles1 - I am going to do my best so that my bonus daughter knows I am not playing favorites. I did ask her if she would like me to also plan her baby shower and she told me no. Her friends were doing it. So I feel like she is separating herself from me. For my daughter's baby I will be grandma as Nana was already taken by my mother, and for my bonus daughter's baby I will be Nana.
Well I hope you all have a wonderful Monday.

I hope you are all doing well this morning. Today is Wednesday and I am so glad that I have tomorrow off work. Tomorrow is my interview for the possible new job. I am really hoping that it comes through and I get the job offer. I have a lot of questions about the position. I am going to keep applying for other jobs as they come up. I am so tired of working in customer service. Chloe is loving the new fence. Here are some photos.
@Dianedoessmiles1 - Chloe loves the new fence. It was finished yesterday. I am so happy with it. My bonus daughter's mom passed away when she was 4. She did not grow up with a Mom. Joe moved back in with his parents and she had a grandmother whom she does not really like as she is a narcissist. So my bonus daughter at this time is closer to her husband's step mother. I am trying to show her I want to be closer with her, but at the same time want her to know that I am not going to butt my head in where I am not wanted.
Well I hope you all have a wonderful Wednesday

@Tabatha_Cain OH I LOVE the new fence!! That looks AMAZING and a great size as Chloe gets bigger!! Awwww she looks so HAPPY in there!! That'll help her out so much. SWEET!!! I hope the job interview goes very well!! HAVE FUN with it, those are the ones who are most likely to hire us, if we are relaxed and ask questions as you are. SELL YOURSELF Kiddo!! YOU CAN DO THIS!! Yeah after years of customer service that can be a bit much. Love how you are willing to try other things. KEEP THOSE DREAMS Going Tabatha!! WTG!! We look forward to hearing how it went. If you do not like it, or want to see what else is out there, we will be cheering you on!!
@macrat12 Sarah have you tried laughter yoga? I have some friends who are going to go to a class soon. I've asked them to PLEASE LET ME KNOW When I want to join them.
@Kurtize OH GIRL you are clearly strong!!! So good to see you!!!0 -

I hope you are all doing well this morning. Today is Thursday and my day is packed full of adventure. Today I have a job interview at 9, then I have to go pick up our tax paperwork and make payment on that, then meet Joe for lunch. After that I have a doctor appointment for my thyroid issue, and then I have to come back to the house and grab Chloe for her groomers appointment, then once I drop her off then I head back to Battle Creek where I moved out of to go to my therapy appointment. After my therapy appointment I have to go to my sisters to drop off some Power wheels that need to be worked on for my great niece, and then I go to my son's and grab my mail that he grabbed from the old house from me. From there I head to my mothers to drop things off. Also I have to meet up with Joe for his virtual doctor appointment. Then back home for the evening. It is going to be a rough day. I am going to be so exhausted but extremely excited about it all.
@Dianedoessmiles1 - Chloe loves the new fence. She literally refuses to come in sometimes. I will go check on her and she will be laying in the dirt, so I call to see if she wants in. All of a sudden she will get up grab a toy and get the zoomies. So at that point I know she is not coming inside. It is so adorable. With the new job I would only be working 8 to 5 with occasional weekends which I would assume if we have a big case we are prepping for that would be when we work on the weekends.
Well I hope you all have a wonderful Thursday.

I hope you are all doing well this morning. Today is Friday and it is going to be a great day. Yesterday the interview went well. I should know something in a couple of weeks. They said it is government so they do like to take their time. I saw a new doctor yesterday. I have hypothyroidism so I went to see a specialist on it. He is an endocrinologist and he specializes in thyroid. Well he did a rush on a whole bunch of tests for me and we found out I have Hashimoto's Thyroiditis. So that is not fun. Basically my immune system is now attacking my thyroid gland. Which you guessed it also causes chronic fatigue and brain fog. I now have 4 diagnosis that cause chronic fatigue and brain fog. Why. But is is something that is common in women with thyroid issues as they get older.
@Dianedoessmiles1 - I did get all my errands ran. It was crazy yesterday. I thought I was going to be late for a couple of them in the afternoon. I was not however. So I did well. My therapy appointment went well. She said since I am having such a hard time with my emotions I just need to concentrate on my coping skills and not getting overwhelmed. So that is what I am doing.
Well I hope you all have a wonderful Friday.

Today I gave myself a spa day. I relaxed, did a facial, cut toe nails, massaged my feet and rubbed oil on my skin. Completely relaxed. I do need to do my balance exercises but not sure if I will.
It is still raining. Hope your day is going well and wishing you a wonderful weekend. Three of the churches in our area are having a Lenten renewal on Sunday. I am hoping to go.
Hugs
