The route from wk 2 home

Call me crazy but I love to see other people happy and succeeding.

Good Evening Ladies,

Vicki, how sweet of your boss to tell you that the other person was a better fit. Does she know how to do the job? If not, maybe you do need to go see your mom and let her figure it out? I am sorry to hear about your mom and hope all is okay.

Sylvia, can’t you say something to the guy that runs the children’s class? If I were teaching a class there, I’d expect to leave it the way I found it. I’m sure your grandmother’s birthday party will be a big hit. How old will she be? I hope you enjoyed Cinderella, even though you know how it ends.

Heather, I do believe you are just giving us enough info about the book, to get us all interested. LOL But then, we were already. Good for you on making the phone call. You did your part so now it’s off your to do list.

Mary, I’ll say a little prayer for a quick sale. Hopefully you can live in your house and will get a day’s notice before any showings. When I was in the business the market was Hot and sellers had to have their homes available at a moment’s notice. That's a hard way to live.

Carol in NC, glad your liked your new doc. It makes such a difference.

Vicky, good planning on the soup. You enjoy your weekend.

Lillian, the last time I painted, it seemed like so much bigger and harder job than when I was younger. You may be happy to not have so much to do at one time. Just try to look at it as an opportunity to rest between paint jobs. 

Lesley, it sounds like a good thing to only have to clean twice a week. More time for all those DVD’s.

Barbie, so happy that you are taking it easy with that cold and feeling better. I decided mine was just allergies. I’m glad you found your pedometer, but how many extra steps in the process?

Meg, I really did feel better after my rant the other day. If DH had been home he would have been the one to hear it, but thank you and all the ladies here for allowing it. *blush* You are so right that it never ends; with our kids and /or our furbabies. And I guess that’s life in general….we never know what tomorrow brings, but it usually brings something.

Pip, I thought you said your bike ride home was hilly? That is pretty much straight up a mountain!! You just never cease to amaze me.


I specifically asked the guy doing my nails today if he was going to be ready for me at the appointment time. Last time he had just started someone and I ended up waiting and then having another tech do my nails. Well I got there and he said it would be about 10 minutes, so I asked if someone would do a polish change on my toes while I waited. I had my nails trimmed and got the polish and could see he was not close to finished. I sat at the dryer for about 10 minutes more waiting for him. It was 30 minutes after my appointment time when he was finally ready for me. This is a new owner at the shop where I have gone for years. I decided that he must just take walk-ins and not worry about appointments or doesn’t know how to schedule his time. Ppffttt I may be looking for a new shop. After nails I met my friend who is going to the convention with me and we shopped for groceries to take. She kept looking at all the fattening things that she knows I won’t eat and it took forever. We have fruit, yogurt, a couple of low cal frozen dinners and I’ll take some romaine lettuce and grape tomatoes to make salads. We will probably have one meal at the restaurant that has yummy hamburgers. Oh and I have my diet tonic to have with my vodka. I will be logging food while I’m there but I don’t know how much time I’ll have to check in so Ya'll behave while I’m away. Love you all.


My word #1 is savor. I have to slow down and savor every bite.

#2 is opportunity. Each day offers new opportunities for good health and happiness if we just look for them and choose them.

Jane - very good to hear from you! Glad that you are getting things moved!

Pip - WOW! That's all I can say! It looks like you blast off to the moon! Straight up!

Lillian - oh no snow! When does it usually end for you?

Janet - have a great time!

Drkatiebug - Is the school year round, or is it a summer school position? Sounds like you're going to enjoy the experience. I really miss teaching

Have a great night everyone!

Mary from Minnesota

Another short post tonight. I 'woke up' this morning feeling exhausted. I knew it was going to be one of my 'MS' days, which are pretty rare these days. I did make myself get up but you have no energy to do anything at all, even think. With my normal awake, sleep circadium or whatever it is called, I normally feel really good at around 7 PM. So I went ahead and got dressed to go out for supper as usual. I did drink 2 glasses of tea to see if it would help. Now I am just really tired, but not fatigued. Katla, does your hubbie get fatigued??

Sylvi, no one likes to carry an epi pen around with them. But you are going to a foreign country, think of what the alternative would be. I don't even know if you are allowed to bring liquid on the plane with you. One time many years ago I had some kind of reaction. My chin and face were red and a little swollen. But as the evening went by it was worse and worse. So I decided to drive myself to the closest minor emergency treatment places. I sat and sat in the lobby but it was OK. It was the finale of the first season of American Idol and I was watching it. The gave me an injection of an epi pen and it immediately took care of it. Boy that sure gets your heart pumping! When I got out of the examining office it was the last 5 minutes and I was the last patient so all the staff joined me in the lobby so we could see who won. I went through all the testing and they never could figure out what I was allergic to. I carried around an epi pen for a couple of years and then stopped. Oh, Sylvia, is your gut ready to be eating ribs yet????

Lillian and Sharon, I don't have any idea the size of your province but do you two live close?

For any of you who can see the solar eclipse, take a picture s we can see it

Since I had a total hysterectomy and even my cervix removed, I don't have to have a pap smear anymore! No arguement fro me there

morning ladies~
well here I am.all of you are sooo very busy, I had to wait around yesterday morning for the tech to come work on the built in microwave. it was some sort of switch inside and he had to take the thing apart, he got that going and a knob on the panel pooped out, now the part for that is 370.00 and lucky this is all under warranty, because getting both things fixed is almost as much as we paid for it..
they have to order the part and will be sent here UPS ,he will be back next thursday afternoon to put that in.
then after that I had to take 2 cars in for service, 2 recalls on one, came back dropped that off and then brought other for an oil change, got home and DH got cranky because he told me to get the tire fixed, and I dont remember him telling me, so that car will have to go back..work today,and tomorrow and have sunday off

Yannie jannie - just want to give you a hug! :flowerforyou: I think it is perfectly normal to worry about something like that. Getting good info is the thing that always helps me, so the biopsy will be a good step. Sounds like they are looking after you.

Sharon - again, I can understand how difficult this all is. Unresolved stuff drives me nuts. Concentrate on your own mental health to help you cope. Counselling, both with and without a partner, helped me a lot, even after separation when I went to marriage guidance on my own. I was full of grief and she was great. The important thing is to find a counsellor who is a good "fit". This particular one wouldn't let me get away with anything which was just what I needed at the time.
I also have a sister-in-law who is very frustrating. She seems to have no will of her own and it is difficult to get her to express an opinion or even a preference. I have a tendency to go into "bully" mode when I'm around people like that and have to watch myself. Luckily I see her rarely as she lives in the North.

Got to get on with my editing. Lots of love, Heather in Hampshire UK.
