Getting ready to go into work for my last Friday! I may still do some clean up and work Thursday (last day). But I don't mind because I start long weekends! I am going to take some clothes and stuff over Sunday. Want to get litter boxes and cat stuff set up so ready when I bring them into the house (pen to do that on…

Good morning! Spent night in new apartment last night. Came over to Columbus and helped set up for a conference since I didn't get to help with big spring conference due to surgery. Two friends met me here andIgave them the tour. They brought me some lovely house warming gifts, toured the place. They confirmed my choice.…

Very busy few days. Saturday evening we had a tornado in my neighborhood. just a couple of blocks or so area. Rated as EF1 (100 mile an hour winds). I was actually asleep when it happened-woke up when power went out and I head a loud thunk (I now believe that was the decking from my neighbor's roof doing somersaults over…

I've been reading along but not chatting much. Truthfully, winding down at work and getting ready to move are wearing me out. While there was really no rush for the move, I used the move-in date to cement my retirement date(so I wouldn't just keep dragging on). I do feel myself relaxing a bit more everyday. My new…

Machka - CBD, primarily from hemp plants, is legal in the US. It contains less than .3 THC. CBD (or cannabidiol) does not have the intoxicating effects of marijuana. It is available on line and in regular stores.

Flea - I love stable tests! Busy at work. Find myself getting short about many things. Think it is fatigue, a. bit of sadness, and a recognition that maybe I can react more like a human than the boss. It all combines to tell me it is time! Got MRI and liver ultrasound scheduled finally. I had called them week after…

Allie- glad you are having a happy day! And I agree- let's just keep on truckin! Deb - Peace for you and your DH as you walk through this complicated healing. Lots of other thoughts I have had this past few days as I have been reading. Will be glad when I don't feels rushed for time. I am getting things lined upper the…

Beth - great job on bathroom! Margaret - I agree we have control over somethings. Flea - my mother in her 80's did well with chemo for a couple of years. Like you two days after she would feel fatigued. After a couple of years it lost its effectiveness for her. Her docs were willing to keep trying but one day she said "You…

MRIs don't bother me much-I focus on the fact that they will (hopefully) get information needed to help me. At Ohio State they have"o[en" Mri-there is a windowing the top of the tube and you can see ceiling and picture they have there-that's not bad at all. I can open my eyes there. Closed Mri I close my eyes before moving…

I now have the keys to my apartment! I cn go there anytime I wish (however, need to finish work and get stuff moved out!). I have purchased love seat, recliner, dresser, entertainment bureau-so major purchases are done. Ordered bath rug, shower curtain, and velcro attached curtain for backdoor. (Windows have blinds-will…

Good evening all: I have been reading along but haven't felt like commenting alot. Pip - thinking of you and Kirby. Thank you so much for sharing Yogi with us-he is a special dog Debbie - I'm sure things are difficult for your DH right now. It is not uncommon for us to wonder if things could've been different. It seems he…

Kim - so good to hear your progress. Annie - it is good to read your activities and see "Yay" I always smile! Got ct scan of neck and chest yesterday (they had been scheduled prior to surgery. Doc wanted to go ahead and get them as part of checking out success of surgery. Had blood work for tumor marker taken today. Should…

Annie - welcome back! Carla- the cards look nice. That's never been my cup of tea, but I have several friends who love it. Rebecca - I know this is not the same as your son, but I have a grand nephew who is autistic - didn't get potty trained until almost ten, very few verbal expressions, very little eye contact. Niece…

Pip- you are welcome. I have a former staff member who I watched struggle to get her diagnosis (they were writing everything of to her begin menopausal and female. She is a good example of perseverance and after getting the diagnosis she has researched thoroughly and does the things that can help. She's a great example of…

Been lazy this morning. Back woke me up very early again and I ended up dozing for a couple of hours in chair. Ready to tackle some stuff for a bit now. Lisa -thanks for Kim updates. I can understand your hesitancy to travel. Hope you get that part of your life back. Kylia - glad GD accident wasn't worse. And you can keep…

Lisa - Thanks for Kim update. I find it amazing they can remove a brain tumor today and and send you home tomorrow. Good to hear house mate is going to help her. Regarding weather and headaches-I have noticed my arthritis will act up before the weather says it will (like the day before). Rita - glad you had good trip-you…

Lanette - the meeting notice made me laugh! I have shared it with several people!I also have been think of Julie (bananas and oranges) in France. Have sent a couple of messages but no reply. Lisa - glad you are rebounding. Heather - love the door color. Barbie - I have thought about the adjustable bed in terms of breathing…

Allie - beautiful first communion picture. What is there not to like about apple pie?! Michele - my cats will tolerate some brushing. I really need to brush them more-another thing there just doesn't seem to be time for! Tracey - enjoy the scrapbook carnival. I know a few ladies who go off every few months for scraping…

Allie - your July trip sounds wonderful - how good you can get away. The g kids just get cuter! I had to look up BK virus. Glad you are just having what seems to be a normal side effect. Lisa - sorry to hear you were so wiped out. I don't typically have that much reaction (I usually find the nap I have afterwards to be…

Good morning all: I am sitting here catching up and getting ready to return to work today. While I did get up a couple of times with back last night it didn't go into severe spasms so I was able to get some sleep. I checked in with Assistant Director yesterday about what he thought would need my immediate attention. Two…

Rori - I have had moments where different things have let me know DH is at peace. Enjoy your time with N! Barbie - Had quite the conversation with DH this afternoon. Basically told him to just hush. Making final decision on new bed and I am leaning to not the bargain basement one (but not the top of the line either.) I…

Barbie - my DH will be gone 10 years in July. I still talk out loud to him at times (not as much as in the beginning). I have talked about my anger of him leaving, I have cursed over the stuff he was always going to do and I got left with the mess, I talk to him about the kids and grandkids and other various things. I have…

Michele - are you wearing gloves at work? I certainly would there if handling food and at home if dealing with food and water and bandage won't stay on. They do have some very good waterproof bandages out there. In terms of Junk-don't think there is much in the way of music. I believe it is about the Junk Bond stuff in the…

Carol - hope there is resolution for your husband. Great news about that granddaughter! Rita - I didn't realize chihuahua's came in black and white -I'm used to the brown ones and have never personally been attracted to them-you dog is cutie and has me reevaluating the breed! Glad your DH is so positive right now. Lisa -…

Barbie - thanks for reposting link from Heather's post. I always said I needed to learn I could live on my own before I could live with anyone's. I have taken the same attitude about me not closing my exercise rings the past 5 weeks-I am the only one who really knows! Rita - I knew some folks the 70's who went to OA. They…

Michelle - if that were my finger, I would opt for a bandage each change. An abscess is nothing to mess with. Mo - I tend to agree with your attorney. It sounds like they are concerned there may be a weakness in their actions (which is not to say I would sue them, but it would have to be a really nice bonus to give up my…

Barbara AHMOD - the dvd incident may be a bit off, it can also be its position, etc was a bit different so it didn't look the same. Also-if you don't have alot of emotional connection you just forgot because it isn't that meaningful. You knew what the device is! I've been told misplacing keys is normal-the time to worry is…

Well, I started this reply last Friday I think-I am behind and off track! Allie - I do hope Miles doesn't keep his dad's habits but it is a concern. Kylia - enjoy your car show time! Good news on heart monitor results Heather - sorry to hear of your brothers continued issues. Hope you get to visit him soon I really enjoy…

Kylia - nice to hear from you! I think our weight can ebb and flow - I'm going for the lifetime average! Allie - very good news on kidney. Hope Sean can get some things sorted out soon Kim - hope this is a wake up call for your brother. Good luck to you and family in coping. Mo - you certainly seem to have a full plate. Do…

Nasty rainy day here today-more of the same forecast for tomorrow. Big accomplishments for the day-washed bedding and towels, changed bed linens. Put dishes in dishwasher. Balanced checkbook and paid bills. More research on insurance plans. Chatted with SIL and cousin in Fla. Kids who live closest had their house go live…
