Oh, very best wishes to Athena.

I had the big Sunday dinner that usually busts my calories but I am okay so far. It's day one without cookies or candy so that might be it. Now to make it to breakfast tomorrow without snacking. I might allow myself a yoghurt if I walk a bit. The struggle is real!

Betsy- I am happy you had a good visit with your son.

Kelly- Congratulations on your son's job. I totally understand that. Was so happy when my son got his current job and even happier that he actually is doing well, promoting up and likes the job. Doesn't even mind getting up and leaving the house at 4:30AM(and he is NOT a morning person, never has been)

Lisa- Happy birthday!!

Starting week 5 of multiple nebulizer treatments daily. Sick and tired of being sick and tired. Have been able to cut back to three a day, down from as many as 5 in a day). Was doing good not waking up coughing during the night, until last night. Was up at 1AM til 2 drinking hot tea which helped. Only got 6 hrs sleep. Need to do a treatment now-put off the first one of the day while I watch church. I am going to contact my doctor this week. May need something stronger to kick this.

Putting up spring decorations and need to go up to Fairfield to drop off time sheet for daycare girl(so I can get paid ) .
We will have left over home made sweet and sour pork tonight. DH said it was the best I have made. I used bottled sauce instead of making my own this time. Also marinated the meat over night(was too tired the day I started it to finish)

When we lived in Fairfield I had issues with breathing too! I was pregnant with 3rd son, and I was walking a mile to and from the grade school to drop off eldest. I used to bring a little chair and during the walk I would stop and rest. Told my husband, "there's nothing FAIR about Fairfield, you have moved me to hell"!...😂😂. I was so paranoid that I wouldn't be able to breathe in labor. I had a nebulizer as well. Good news though, once I started labor my breathing opened up...AH! We had a place off Del Prado Circle. We could see the freeway and the Safeway sign! But we only lived there from Sept 1998 to late November, when 3rd son was born. We found a great house in Vallejo, off Legend Circle.👍

Lisa-Happy Birthday! I think your non-driving plan is immensely sensible.

Kelly-Good news regarding son’s employment. Plan sounds sensible.

Tracey-glad fall wasn’t worse. You said you cut foot-have you had a tetanus shot recently?

Michelle NC-I agree the original Sudafed does work much better. Don’t remember the last time I bought if from behind the counter-may pick some up.

Rebecca-scary when the little ones are sick. My Jake spiked a tremendously high fever once-very scary. Trip to ER. After they got him some fluids and an ibuprofen/Tylenol mix-he was running around the place like an hour.

Allie-glad you enjoyed baby shower. Sorry that Homer is nearing the end. It seems that you all have given him a very good life-better than some people do their children.

Sinuses doing a bit better. Better energy level today. I bought a neti pot at the store and used it for the first time. Interesting experience. I do think it may have helped some. Will use again tonight. I did laugh though. I figured after I let it al drain over the sink, it would be done. Went about cleaning house-everytime I bent over, my head drained some more! Ran humidifier in living room/kitchen. Will plug in smaller one in bed room over night. Holding off on any medications if I can.

Off to clean up the kitchen and think I will call it quits for the day-got a number of smaller tasks done and some floors moped. May transfer earrings to new case while watching some tv.

Take care all,

Ginny in Ohio

Laundry and house cleaning are done for now. DH & I are enjoying the view & getting a bit of rest. It is currently 3:54 pm. I am tired from the housework but feel satisfaction for making the guest room tidy.

Lisa - Happy, happy birthday!

Terri - What a cheerful little poem. Thanks.

KJ - glad you are having a good weekend.

Allie - glad you enjoyed the shower. Sorry about Homer.

Welcome to newbies. Keep coming back.

Barbara - Hope Gino is a quick study.

Cold and rainy here today. Got goatshed cleaned but not much else. Some reading and crocheting. I have a new great niece due around Easter so working on a baby blanket.

Everyone take care, Sue in WA

Ginny - I did have a tetanus shot about 3 years ago. My doctor insisted that I have one. She said it recommended every 5 years now, not 10.
It’s looking fine today, no redness anywhere.

Rebecca - it is so scary when children are sick.
Our youngest daughter was admitted to the hospital several times most occurring after a middle of the night run to emergency. He fever would spike out of nowhere and she would be gasping for breath. She suffered from the time she was 6 months old to 2.5 before they finally diagnosed her with asthma. It got better when we moved from NB to Alberta.

Allie - The baby shower I went to last month had some extravagant gifts too. Some of the women that were there stated that it was so much fun out shopping and being able to attend a shower that they went a bit overboard. It’s also the first baby in quite a while to be spoiled. 🙂 I know my daughter and I together spent 3X as much as we normally would have. She is due Tuesday, I’m waiting anxiously now.

My eldest and her family came out for supper. My daughter and I had a disagreement. Her and my cousin had a few words about the whole Will Smith and Chris Rock fiasco. My daughter ended up blocking my cousin. I texted my daughter later and apologized to her because I thought she was being dramatic and didn’t think she should have blocked her. Later I realized I was wrong, I may not agree with her decision, but it’s the right one for her and I need to respect that.

I think these “discussions, “debates” whatever you want to call them through social media has ruined so many families.
I refuse to comment or post anything that can be controversial. That’s one thing I truly love about this group. We all have different beliefs, thoughts and opinions but we all support one another and don’t let those differences come between us. If anything, I think they bring us closer.

Well that’s enough philosophizing for the night.
