Kim…Like an overloaded plate….my plans were bigger than my output! I did use the machine for 15 minutes, did the dishwasher business and more of the 5X15 moves but little else on my task list. I need a "Task Force" to come up in here. The pain is down a few notches today so I'll tick a few more things off the list.…

We had a wild and wooly storm last night….took out one of our TV stations, wrecked the building but no injuries, thank God. hail, 60 MPH winds and heavy rain. I'll check my car for damage when I take trash out… I rested fairly well last night and since I had the extra nap…was awake until 11:30…Got up at 5:00. In storms…

Wishing you the best in this endeavor. I hope you get in to see someone and get help soon. I went out this morning and it was very hard and painful. I picked up my meds at Walgreens, then darted across the street for my Sonic ice and lunch. I didn't get up until 11:00, was in great pain and discomfort…just doing that trek…

Missy, you are in my payers as well, dear friend. What a beat down you've experienced. I had that happen once with the dry socket and it's a nightmare on it's on and yours is a compound one. So very sorry to hear this. Prayers for that baby as well! I was refilling my water bottle in the bathroom 2 days ago…and the water…

Yes…I was up at 6:30….but they normally come around 8:30-9:00. I have been known to buy new wash cloths, underwear, sheets etc. at this stage before! LOL…rather than do laundry. Now I am not physically able to do the hiking about to do it myself so must wait until pick up day again and be ready early! I rested well last…

Thank you! They were so good. Lunch and dinner was the same yesterday…a big salad with ground pork. I gave away my refried beans and tostada shells but used the bag of shredded lettuce. First time to not waste any! I plan on trying that for pizza as well. here's my yummy salad… Ick on thick! LOL…I remember my daddy using…

I agree on the complete insanity of this time and the hatred with no boundaries….it's a dangerous time for sure. Mary brought my Amazon box in for me so I went ahead and told her about the new bed bug issue and she will set up an appointment for the pest patrol guy. His name is ben and he's an awesome young man. I really…

I gave away 2 more bags of food items this morning….new boxes of cheese toast, bacon, Velveeta, popcorn chicken and the remainder of the Tyson wings…as well as a beautiful bag of jalapenos. Walmart got a little happy and gave me about 20 and I only wanted 4. A new bag of hamburger buns and misc. goods to top off….I do…

Kim, my skin is dry, wrinkly, scaly…but then I am 72….and rarely use the lotion I have plenty of…in 3 spots for convenience. Marilyn….I hear you…I wish good habits were as easy to form and keep as the bad ones. There is a "pay off" as Dr. Phil would say, for both and the negatives of bad habits are often extreme. The pain…

Yay….a lady just came for today's offerings…a repeat and I like that. I had a clothes basket full of clothes, a bag of frozen items and a bag of packaged goods. I did keep 2 packs of cornbread mix, tho it's high in sodium and I whined a little at letting my hush puppy mix and mashed taters go. I do need to look into a…

No…I meant painful….not sure why…but overall, I am doing better pain wise with the Tylenol PM…just had a more painful day perhaps. Today has been a more active day with the "collections" going on so will watch myself this evening. While pulling some things from the closet to give away, I found a can of Biofreeze…expired in…

He would be….but they won't give it to him. I wish they'd return it to Amazon but that most likely won't happen either. It's not the most costly mistake I've made but I need to reign me in now…I'm thinking I need to monitor myself….plan ahead and stop the impulse buys….like the egg molds I'll never use. Last night wasn't…

Wow! I didn't know that Gemini was AI…added to my phone, not by me…and I can't "delete" it….This is quite eye opening. Thanks for this post! Makes me thankful to be in my "last years" here….for the future evils of this world will be beyond comprehension and perhaps correction.

Hello dear friend! I was in so much pain with this sciatica yesterday that other than deal with the dishwasher and getting trash to my car was about all I could manage. No game playing etc. I have another cushion ordered and I hope it will help. It's like I m sitting on a concrete block on the right side and I get comfort…
-
Sweet! Makes my heart smile to be one of yours, Kim! Same here! God gave us to one another as sisters, friends and encouragers! I did take the Tylenol PM last night and it did help. I still woke up 5 times to go to the restroom and do my sip and flip but went right back to sleep, the pain was eased somewhat on the getting…
-
Yes…as I was seeing 250 too often. I'll be happy to see the 230's again! Yesterday was a high sodium day so I have fluid retention this morning. I had another near normal night and got up at 5:00. I got some Tylenol PM yesterday but forgot to take it last night. I'll see if it helps with better sleep? Feels really good to…

I don't think a neighbor would rat me out…and Mary did put their "nest" back on top of the heating unit about 3 months ago. When we were made to stop feeding in January of last year, our colony was at 14…and yes….this is an area of disobedience for me to deal with and no….I don't want to get in trouble. I know I'm not the…

Marilyn, I too, am so glad you checked in. I understand the exhaustion and this is a trial by fire for sure. Any comfort you can find is a blessing. Continued prayers for you in your journey. So very sorry you are having to do this. I love hearing the rain…I used to sleep with headphones on, listening to CD's of rain…
-
Thanks my friend. This current trend is about 9 days in I think… I've been awake since midnight, up since 2…so that in itself is an improvement. Being up and fairly mobile….I'm thinking I'll try the Tylenol PM….and see if it will help me stay asleep at night so I feel more alert and able to do things once I get up… Oh no!…

Good morning, precious friends…. Kim, I too, hope and pray our Marilyn is OK….She's had such a hard road to travel, yet remained hopeful and faithful. I had a rough 6-8 days…am pushing a bit today, to wake up some muscles and put them to use. I've been exhausted and so weak and am praying for a U-Turn in my basic health…
-
OK….I am back up….after 4 hours awake and a nap…at 4:30….feeling better and looking to have a "work day" today. Coffee is on, I am dressed and ready to roll. Today's stats: 243.6 (down 6.4) FBS 160 128/79 60 Other than the muffin mix, I don't have sugar in the kitchen. I do it up in my little square pan like a small cake.…

Hello Ladies… So sorry to hear this news, Missy. God knows the sorrow and pain you've endured and He knows your husband's heart…and mind…as well. Prayers for you and your family in this crisis, in your illness and for your grandbaby….Prayers for healing and restoration and His precious peace. Kim…I too, have had a couple…

Good morning, Sister! Today is a good day…pain wise and otherwise. I did have another wakeful night, up/down/TV time/computer time…finally back to sleep at 3-ish and up at 6:00. I feel well enough to tackle some chores today. I did get an extra rest day after that episode on Saturday…whew! I had tummy troubles last night…
-
Thank you my friend! For prayers, always so appreciated! Oh My! That poor boy. I too, am so very thankful the horrid side effects are no longer a major issue. Mine started when I was 21…I have encountered some folks in my journey who had Meniere's as well and my heart goes out to all who suffer so. It was rather violent at…
-
I had a rough start to this day. Didn't get up until 9-ish….car wouldn't start, called Triple A, guy came quickly. I wasn't too surprised since it hasn't been started in over 3 weeks…he said to run it for an hour to recharge and take her around the block a few times a week to keep her going and perhaps get a fuel additive…
-
That's a wonderful report! God is awesome, isn't He? I had a low sugar episode yesterday…of 68 and today, just a few minutes ago of 59. I had a yummy FF yogurt to perk me up both times. I have orange juice on my list for tomorrow's pick up order. I need to drag me out to the bank, Walgreens and HEB….after getting trash to…

Here we are at Thursday again….wow! I did breakfast this morning…a microwave omelet. It's been a few months since I had one and this was so pretty! The veggies all rose to the top and that's what made it pretty. I forgot the onion… I used baby Bella mushrooms, diced sweet pepper, broccoli and egg beaters. Topped with a bit…
-
Oh no! Lost my post apparently. I guess I only thought I hit post reply. Oh well….I'm not up to repeating at the moment. Suffice it to say…I've had a grand day, a refreshing nap, am blessed beyond measure and love you all and thank God for you daily! I Isn't this beautiful….the promise and the view!

I had a couple of heavier days so found the 3 I lost. Back at it today. The only sugar I've had was in the lovely salad topping of honey glazed pecans and cranberries with a spoon of peanut butter. It was delicious too. I got celery to have with peanut butter too. Just need to hack and dice, chop and slice my veggies up.…
