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

:thanks: Sunni, Georgie and Ruby for your lovely comments on my post. I was really on a high when I wrote that and haven't quite come down yet, which is rather nice. I went over to see her today and she said one of her friends rang her yesterday and she told her she 'simply had to come and see what Mish has done in the garden.'

Ruby, that's just plain rude taking someone's pain meds. I tend to agree with Sunni, though. You need to tell this girl's parents so they can address the problem which must be pretty bad when she's stealing to feed her habit. Also, it will teach her that there are consequences to bad behaviour. If you let her get away with this, who's to say she won't try it on some other trusting soul. Anyway, just saying.

Sunni, it's so great to hear you're coming out from behind the black cloud. It's not much fun there and to know that you're our bright sunshine again is joyful news. (I tried to stick to a meteorological theme in my illustrataions).

Nora, I'm so relieved to hear you've taken the bull by the horns again and are back on antabuse. It keeps you safe for us and for all your loved ones. Good work, and keep on the path. I love you dearly.

MB, I've had an ear infection since the middle of September. I just think I've kicked it and then it's back with a vengeance. I've avoided antibiotics so far but I'm thinking that next week when I get five minutes to myself I'll make an appointment and see the doctor. She's a dear little Sri Lankan lass, very sweet and knows her stuff. I need a referral for a new psych.

My Psych has moved to the other side of the country. Fresh Start said they would prescribe my meds for me if I could get him to authorise it. It took me months to track him down and found out where my records were being kept as he said it was illegal for him to do that. I had them faxed to Fresh Start who now tell me they can't prescribe for me. GREAT The first appointment I can get with another psych now is December 20th and my meds run out in the middle of November. It's dangerous to just go off them so I'm in a real pickle. I rang LADDS (an ADD organisation, and they suggested I go to the emergency room of the hospital and explain my situation and they may be able to help. But what if they can't? I haven't hit panic stations yet, but I'm certainly concerned. I tried to ring Fresh Start today to take a chunk out of the doctor who said he'd prescribe and then renegged, but I got an answering machine telling me there's no one at the office today. If you think I'm going to cool down over the weekend, think again. The clock's ticking and the medicine bottle isn't getting any fuller.

I don't particularly like the sound of this new psych (she doesn't seem terribly interested in my problem and couldn't make an earlier appointment for me) and if I don't like her I'll find another, though at $345 for a first appointment I might just suck it up. I only have to see her twice a year for prescriptions so who cares if she's not my cup of tea.

Anyway, enough of my grizzles. I have a great weekend planned and intend to make the most of it, despite predictions of rain and storms. I send you wishes for a great weekend, too.

Love and hugs.
Mish

Can you believe this, but despite my superior intellect, this hadn't even occurred to me.
I checked my pm box and thank you. I love you. :h:h:h

Mish, YES, it's very dangerous to just stop medications. I've done that a couple of times, either when I lost my meds or forget to take them. Ended up in ER (Hubs had to carry me!) and it was awful. I was severely chastised by my docs, even the one in ER, telling me I could have gone into seizures. But I just didn't want to cause any trouble, and as I've said, when you even have done business for ages with a pharmacy and you have written prescriptions, they give you 'the look' like they're judging you. I wish people in those situations would be educated instead of assuming anyone taking these meds is an addict. I barely take the minimum, but when I noticed meds disappearing overnight, and my family will barely take aspirin, I had to either tough it out or call my wonderful doctor. I have to threaten Hubs to take Advil, even when he's in severe pain and I have things that would help him, he's absolutely paranoid about taking anything that could show up on a random drug test at work. I had a friend who failed a drug test once because she had eaten poppy seed rolls the day before. I have reported all this to law and med insurance company, documented everything. Am going to talk to son about the girl's parents, try to find a parent to talk to, but I don't want to take it to a legal level. She's 19, and don't want to place a mark on her future, as long as she gets help. I rarely lock my doors, and I've been very open with Tay and JC about what has happened. As a teen, she just can't grasp this is real. I've been so blessed that none of my family has been involved in drugs, but my radar's up now, and I'll have to reluctantly make some changes. Most companyies now have mandatory drug screening, and again the surprise random checks. At Hubs company, you're sent out the gate immediately until the issue is settled, since there are enough things there that can kill you without being under the influence. Hubs has my meds in the back of his underwear drawer, and that's deadly enough on it's own! Plus it's next to one of his guns, so someone would have to take the house part to find them. If he had been the one to catch her there would have been an ass-whuppin'. I was just stunned. He's always saying I'm too trusting, but it is hurtful to have someone be so sneaky and thoughtless.
Mish, and Sun, what you've done for your mum's is much bigger than you know. If you're on a cloud over recent events, imagine how far your caring actions will carry them. I told Sun I bet her momma had tormented all her friends with telling them what a wonderful surprise she was given, and Mish, your mom's already claimed her bragging rights. I think those of us who are givers and caretakers are always overwhelmed when someone does something completely unexpected, just to show they love us.
Wish our MIAs would check in. I worry, children!
Come get some furniture, PLEASE!!! I'm seriously considering just donating it all to Goodwill. It will help someone else, and get it off my hands, plus it's a good tax write-off. Hubs is crabbing about all the crap I've got in the house now, and I understand that, but it has such sentimental value.
T, when are you coming to get your cats? If they can live with TMB, they'd be happy with Coco. Does uncle still have all his little pests?
Time to do some more checks on prospective renters. The guy wanting aunt's house is just thrilled, making big plans for the place. And our new 50-something single lady tells anyone she sees how much she loves the quiet little cottage she's rented.
Oh (sorry again for rambling about my life) I don't know if I told ya'll Ex-B's boyfriend has already put her out. Found out yesterday it was because she asked for money and when he wouldn't give it to her, she stole checks from his checkbook and caused him a big mess at the bank. The woman needs help, but everyone, even her mother, has distanced themselves from her after a couple of days having her 'roost' with them. Son had to give her extra money he was going to use to buy property to get her in to a place to live. He's working behind the scenes to get the girls full time, then she will be in trouble, since he pays a lot of child support. The children are so distressed by all this, and we're looking in to getting a counsellor for them. They've called him late at night to bring them food, and that breaks my heart. She does recognize she's screwed herself into the ground, but won't stop.
OK, thanks for being my sounding board. My life is absolutely chaotic of course, and it's hard to be able to talk to anyone about it. So, read, don't read, ignore me, it's OK. Just being able to pour it out helps.:thanks:

I am here - just got home from work. Ruby - you have my phone number and know you can call me - I have broad shoulders and am happy to listen any time that you need to talk......Gosh - you do go through some stuff don't you? Are you going to the cabin alone? I think you should do, and take some meditation tapes and a yoga mat and just veg out !!! You know how I worry about you and you need to take some time for you to de stress. Or you KNOW what is going to happen........... !!! Do I need to come over there????? trust me - you don't that that to happen!!!!!

Mish - I am SO pleased for all that is happening for you right now - you sound just so darned happy - it is wonderful and quite brings a smile to my face. It is awesome. yes, I am feeling so much happier - it is lovely to feel like my old self again after the dark cloud that was over me (and that IS what it felt like). I talked to my mum last night on Skype and we talked again about the trip and how good it was and how, even if you have been in another country for 30 years, basically, one is still rooted in ones birth country - well, I am anyway!! I don't know if I would ever go back there to live - if anything happened to Hubs - I have my two girls and the grands now - I honestly don't know. But for now, I am happy to be happy again.

Jan - can you please come over and do MY ironing and Hoovering - ROTFLMBO ?????

Lorry loads of love and hugs to all,

Happy Friday night, peeps. So much has been going on here I see, as usual. Mish..I just loved your post and I feel the same way about this family....without all of you and my faith, I don't know where I would be today. I treasure each and every one of you. I am sorry for all that your Mum is going thru, Mish, but I am so glad that you are there for her.

Sun..it's so good to see "you" back...I'm very happy that you are feeling better. Sometimes that "hole" is just so deep and dark, isn't it? Thankfully we always find our way out but it's never as soon as we want.

Jan...I am glad that your honchos have come and gone and you can go back to "normal"....if there is such a thing!:H I'm still looking for that "normal".

Ruby....wow. You always have so much going on in your sweet life. I'm glad you found good renters and it sounds like you won't have to worry about them. I'm really sad to hear about the young girl taking your meds....it is so scary these days....I know that I have to keep my pocketbook right by my bed "just in case"...once I think I noticed some of my pain meds missing....I can't say for sure, but I don't want to take any chances, not with a teenager and two young adults in the house. I hope you are able to relax at the cabin this weekend and I wish I were there with you..you wouldn't have to spend a dime on me! In fact, you wouldn't even know I was there....I would be so content just walking your property or sitting on your porch or your special rocks. And I never even got to take a walk out back down to the river...I wouldn't even have to get dressed..I could just walk around all day in your special nightgown...that I love so very much!! Can you tell that I miss you???:h

Fen..I hope you are at Tick Hollow....it's so nice that you have your own retreat too.

Roger...is your monkey butt clean yet? You hang in there, bud. You are very important to all of us.

I am a little worried because I haven't heard from Vicki since Monday night...I tried to call her house and her cell and her daughter and got nobody. I left a message on her cell and on Sharla's cell. I feel bad because I have been so wrapped up in work and other problems this week and didn't even try to call her or email her until today....now I'm scared that something has happened...but I think somebody would have called me, don't you think? Her last message to me was that she was going to the doctor's on Wednesday in Jackson and then going back home. Hopefully I'll hear back soon.

It's unusually quiet here at my house tonight....hubs is working until 10pm, Amy is working, Josh went to a friend's house after work and my youngest just went out to hook up with his friends to see if they want to come here and have a bonfire. I don't get Addison until tomorrow....so I'm basically relaxing tonight. I might even get to watch a movie!!! Wow-I haven't done that in a long time-I've just been working, all day and then bringing work home at night. Very draining.

Well, Riley is scratching at the door....the siberian. I guess I better get my butt up and let him in. I love all of you and have missed you.

Have a great weekend! Oh-and if I hear anything from Vick, I'll be sure to post.

:l:l:l:l
