Hi everyone! It is a gorgeous crisp fall day, sunny and cool. We have had over 4” of rain in the last couple of days so this is a nice change. Things with DH have settled down; he will get the catheter out Friday or at least we hope so. We have company coming that day for the weekend. I heard from my former co-worker and…

Hi ladies. You know I used to think I had such a nice quiet, simple life. OMG not anymore. First DH had a lot of complications over the weekend that landed him in the emergency department Saturday night and now he has to have a catheter for a week. They drained nearly 2 liters Saturday. Now DD#1, who has a 3-year old and…

Hi all. Just reporting that DH's surgery went well. They removed two masses which were "vascular malformations". he is doing well without much pain. The surgeons are using a new preoperative pain regimen that seems to work great. Very little opioid medications needed; I think he has had 2 since being home. The postop…

Hi friends. I'm still lurking here. Hope to be more chatty! Thinking of you all!

Hi ladies. Quick post today. FIL is better; stroke is mild-ish. He will have to go to rehab though. Dh got home ok last night. The meeting with FIL and minister went well although his step sister still won't even look him in the eye. I realized today how awful I look; the stress from the last year has taken a toll.…

Good morning. It’s 11 and I just got to work, so I will be brief here. DH got to Ohio alright and before he had the chance to talk to his dad, dad had a stroke. Fortunately it seems small and he is stable. They’re doing an MRI today. Tere: sending positive thoughts for DH; both hubby and his dad have hiatal hernias. The…

Just stopping in to say welcome to Patrice. We all knew and loved your mother and her spirit.

Hi gals. It’s a dreary rainy day here. DH had a 5 a.m. flight to Ohio to see his dad, so he was up at 3…bleh. So then I overslept! So today will be a short day at work LOL. Lanette: I love the sassy comeback about colonoscopies and stalkers! Wendy: gorgeous horses!!! If you look quickly the horse at the top of the first…

Hello and happy Sunday. We chose not to go to church today; I was anxious about getting comments from the paper story. So it’s a quiet day here. My 5-day headache is nearly gone, so that’s good news. I have lots of friends who keep checking up on me and I so appreciate that. I’m going to give myself a manicure and pedicure…

Hi all. Thanks for your support. I appreciate it more than I can say. The story hit the newspaper too, but the big news of the day was that the University's athletic director was fired (which is MAJOR here) so we are hoping anyone who might have known was focused elsewhere. But I was just sick yesterday, a little better…

Hi ladies. Sentencing yesterday was grueling. I feel like I have been hit by a train. He got 50 months, $6600 in fees/fines, recommendation was to Englewood Colorado with a report date of 11/29. We won't know facility and report date for several weeks because the Bureau of Prisons has to make the final determination.

Greetings to all. It’s hot and steamy again today; it looks like summer does not want to give up. I am planting mums this evening however, so at least the front of my house will look appropriate for the season! Heather: great pic! Wendy: take BOTH of them, they are such cuties! I am crazy about both!!!.....OK wait…OMG…

Hi all. After some welcome rain yesterday, it is back to being hot and humid today. I'm trying to get ahead at work since I am taking Thursday off for court. We ended up going out to dinner last night. We went Mexican, but I only ate half my meal and only 10 chips. SueBDew: I'm so sorry for your loss! Love the pics that…

It's a rainy Monday morning here, but we are dry so the rain is good. Only going to be 75 today and already the trees are turning! I can't believe where summer went! DH's brother and sister in law are coming for court on Thursday. I thought they were going to be here either late Tuesday or early Wednesday, but they will be…

Happy Friday everyone. I am so sorry to hear about Gloria. I went back and read all the posts. She was a wonderful person and kind here to all. I'm making due; DH's surgery is October 4. There is a 2 week recovery window, so I doubt that will delay heading off to the big house. DD#2 is making quite the mess of her life.…

Hi gals. You know how there are some people who live these crazy disconnected chaotic lives? Well that's not me. Well it is me now. I just don't know how these things keep piling up. I think I will change my name and enter the witness protection program. DH had a screening colonoscopy (routine) and of course he has a mass…

Happy Labor Day to all! Hugs to those who are struggling. High fives for those who are celebrating. Wishing happy grandbaby thoughts for Lenora. Loved reading the gym comebacks; I'm stealing Lisa's. We are off to see The Hitman's Bodyguard at 3. Take care, Meg from Omaha where the weather is nice but the air is hazy from…

Hi ladies. I've been lounging with a headache, but it's time to get up and get some work done in the yard. We are having dinner with friends tonight then heading to their house for an evening of cards. This is one of our favorite activities. It's still hot here but it's going to be a bit cooler this coming week. Next week…

Happy holiday weekend Saturday! The weather is gorgeous here and I will be out gardening. It's been so long since I had nothing absolutely required on a Saturday that I just sat here so of paralyzed lol. The rental sale went fine and the money has already been wired into our account and I paid off 1 bill. I'm keeping the…

Holy cow it's not even 9:30 here and look at all the posts for the month already! Well my August goals were a bust to say the least. I have been so totally overwhelmed with this legal thing that I have just barely hung on. And boy am I stress eating...and drinking! 4 drinks a month used to be a lot for me; now it's more…

Greetings and good morning. I am really trying to stay connected here. Our weather is beautiful, but prayers going to those impacted by the storms. I have most of my relatives in Texas, so I will have to check in with them. The pictures are horrendous and I just can’t imagine what that would be like. Dorrie: sorry to hear…

Hi to all! Just a quick check in to say I'm thinking of all of you and sending blessings to those affected by the weather in TX and other areas. Meg from Omaha

Hi ladies. Happy Sunday. My home computer now keeps crashing so I'll keep this short! Thinking of all of you! Be safe with the eclipse tomorrow. Rori you may be seeing a lot of me if DH ends up in Littleton LOL! More great lunches! Take care everyone. Hopefully I'll be able to stay on longer tomorrow. Meg from Omaha

Hi ladies. I had a nice long post for all of you yesterday then the computers went down and we were unable to get anything done at work. No internet, no local computer drives, no printers or copies, which are networked. So I just went home. Well I stopped by a bead store and picked up a piece of jewelry I had repaired and…

Hi gang. Another day, another 50 cents! It’s pretty quiet around here, most classes don’t start til next week, but I don’t start til October, so I have some prep time. Wendy: my older daughter was a horrible cook. She forgot to put tuna in tuna helper once and claimed the directions didn’t say to (!!!) Gloria: WOW I have…

Hi all. Just a quick pop in to say hi. I have had a migraine all day so I have not done a thing. I'm going to try to get to exercise class later this evening...the headache is starting to go away so I think it my be gone by then. Loving the photos! Take care, Meg from Omaha

Hi, hi! Today is a new day! I managed to get to aqua Zumba yesterday but didn’t do too well on food. I overslept and they fed us breakfast and lunch for our first day back. Normally I don’t eat the food they provide, but I didn’t have time to make my lunch. Today’s was health screening day. My BP was excellent, but the…

Hi gang! Well it's the start of a new semester, so seems like a good time to start back on working on ME! I have had a rough summer, but for some reason a new semester almost feels like Jan 1 to me: a time of new beginnings. I'm trying! Stay strong all of you! Meg from steamy Omaha

Hi friends. It’s nice to see you all again. Not much going on here. Saturday is DH’s birthday so I am trying to get organized for his party. Since this is his 65th and since he will be away for a while, I thought I would have a birthday party for him. TNToni: do you go to al-anon? I would highly recommend it. I attend…
