The Journey begins here so get YOUR ASSES IN GEAR!!!!

I'm so happy to be alive and fully rested! Hubby worked on countertops all dy yesterday, so I couldn't get in the kitchen, so...yep, went back to bed! I can't believe I slept for about 24 hours, but do I feel GREAT today! No pain in my body at all this morning! Ya'll must have been praying for me! THANK YOU! But, I certainly will never double up on a drug, no matter how much I hurt! Funny thing, while I was doing all that sleeping, I dreamed about you guys! Sweet dreams.
Gold, I am SO HAPPY your Mom is improving. Thank you so much for checking in with us! I hope you are able to get any sleep at the hospital. I've been on both ends, don't know which is worse...trying to sleep in a hospital bed or in the crappy chair! We are all praying for you during this difficult time. We miss you and we love you so much! Biz, that is so AWESOME! Just take it one day at a time and soon you will feel so much better and stronger. We are praying for you and we are here for you when you need encouragiement. MB, how are you doing? Still AF? I hope so! Tony, glad that tree project is behind you. After you cut grass, reward yourself and enjoy that pool. It's gonna be HOTT today! Ruby, the pictures are great, but the snake made me cringe. Roger, we wanna see pictures of that canoe when you get it built. You might need to stay inside today, big, bad storm coming your way! Sunshine, you are such a sweet blessing and we are so glad to have you as part of our little family here. Grateful, you are so preci0ous to me and I love you. I am so blessed to have all of you in my life. Thank you for your love, your encouragement and your prayers. I hope you all have a wonderfully blessed day! Vicki

Rog, come up here with a trailer and you can have your pick of huge poplar trees (the all purpose tree, remember?). Make me a canoe too, OK??

Friends, I have another dear friend who posts elsewhere, but is truly instrumental in my will to be a better person. They have just found her Mother has late stage cancer, and the outlook is not good. Please, all of you have seen the power of prayer, in healing or in comfort, and I ask that you keep her family in yours.
Also, my FIL was told this AM he has a growth on his liver and is being sent directly to a specialist near Atlanta this afternoon. Hubs is thankfully home to take him and get the information straight. He is in a great deal of pain, and even though he's not one of my fav people, as you know, he is my Hubs father, and I'm praying for his health now.
Thank you all for being who you each are; funny, loving, supportive and ever caring family. I love you all!
Rubes

The old railroad house where the baby buzzard lives. That's a grist mill grindstone leaned against the tree. Daddy put it there decades ago.

Oh, Ruby. I'm so sorry for your friend's mother and your father-in-law. I will keep them in my prayers, too. I hope the dr. can give your father-in-law something for his pain. Good thing your hubby is able to take him.

What a neat railroad house....I bet your grandkids love to explore your property....I know I would!

Grateful, Hubs and I were talking yesterday as we were working down there about how exciting it will be for our little boys to explore the creeks and fields, build a tree house and a rope swing into the stream. My daughter has kept my parents alive in their minds, and Jack stands a little taller when I tell him he's just like Daddy Neal!

Hi all - SO much going on. ruby I am so sorry about your f-i-l and your friends mum - they will be in my prayers. I feel for you - it is a terrible thing to see anyone go through cancer or cancer treatment. Been there done that - never again!

Biz - so pleased that you made it last night - that first day is always the hardest - it was the first day that worried me when I stopped drinking. So go you!!
Vicki - I am SO pleased that you are feeling better - constant pain is just soul destroying isn't it? Just don't go mad trying to do too much now will you?
IAD and T - fancy me being up late enough to see you in chat - it is ages since I have been there - in the early days, I was there all the time. There really is so much on this site that helps people.
Goldie - I am really glad that you are doing okay and that your mum is too - I was quite worried. Hang in there eh and let people help where they can.
MB - how are you doing? You haven't mentioned the Bac or AL in a while - what is going on with it - how are you doing??
Bird - what is going on with you? Did you manage to clear out the storage place? How are you doing now?

Not sure if I can think of anyone else - I woke up this morning and couldn't use my left arm! Ended up going to the Urgicare center but they said that my insurance wouldn't cover it as my doc's clinic that I called had said go to the ER, not Urgicare! - I didn't fancy another long wait somewhere else and I honestly felt that I had just slept on it wrong - the nurse said that with the left arm, stroke and heart need to be ruled out - I feel FANTASTIC apart from my left arm, so decided to come home and wait and see how it is later - after icing it and 4 ibuprofen, I am able to move it enough to type!! LOL. So, Dr. Jean has decided that she is fine and will not do the long list of things I had planned on doing today (shame - my last day off too) unless my arm eases up - but it seems to be getting better in leaps and bounds now! So, after boring you all silly with that I need to go and sort out some paperwork - am trying to do a budget! talk later,

hugs and love to you all,

Sun xx

Oh, Sunny!!! Please have that seen after tomorrow if it's no better, OK? It could be many things, but be safe, OK? And let us know, love.

Thanks Ruby - I will if it isn't better but I just feel it is okay - I always go with gut feelings for my body and so far it hasn't let me down! My insurance would pay for the ER visit but I cannot bear the thought of hanging around in an ER for 3-5 hours! It really is feeling better than it was and I feel really good! Thanks for the caring though!

hugs, Sun xx

Hi all Hay sunshindaisies don't play around with your left arm I can be a sign of Heart attack coming on so take an aspren It also can indacate a slow moving stroke, I know this because my wife is a nurse. One time she was working at a local collage night work and a young lady came in complaing of sleeping on her left arm and could not move it turns out she was pre stroke. My wife cought it and every thing was OK so please watch it.
MB thanks for the support and to Roger as well tonight will be night 2 of my journy I can do it. After dinner I think the wife will go to see a movie and then to bed. See ya in the am.
Vickey glad your feeling better your in my prayers

Need to vent, really wanna crawl in my little hole and cry. I am such a horrible person! My hubby been working on finishing my countertops this week and so today after he says he's through, I was gonna go put the seal on them. Then I started looking at his crappy work and uneven grout lines and I thought it just looked horrible, so of course, I ALWAYS speak my mind before my brain actually works! Then his cousin came down and I'm showing him, who does this for a living and he says hubby laid stones over a tiled countertops that roll upward. (Roger, you may be the only one getting this) So I start complaining and then his cousin said the most awful truth to me "you need to appreciate a man that loves you so much and trys to make you happy". DAMN, I am at bad person. I feel like shit and he is in the pool drinking beer and I feel so bad for being so critical and expecting perfection. God, the poor man has to be miserable! Ok, Roger, let's have your analogy. You lived with us for a week. Is there alot of things about me that I need to change? I already know the answer. I'm never good enough. I try hard, but always screw everything up.

Biz...I am here cheering you on. What movie are you going to see? Your wife must be so proud of you.
Sunny..please keep an eye on that arm ok?
I spent all day walking apartments to see who needs to be evicted...Ruby...sound familiar??
Just got home..hot and sweaty
Day 9 sober...bac seems to be helping...wait...not sober, but AF!!!!!!
Love you all...
gonna eat a Firehouse sub and rest for a few
just started a great new book by Ken Follett..."The Pillars of the Earth". It's about the building of cathedrals in the 13th century...I know it sounds boring but there are actual characters and it takes you inside the poverty and the hardship back then...I highly recommend it.
Reading is how I escape...I have always been a voracious reader....love it.
Nite all
Mama
Vicki...glad you are getting some rest...I worry about you...
