Hi Friends,
K9, my thoughts are with you as you make you make Sandy comfortable.

I guess I'm going solo to the theater this afternoon. Hubby picked up my bug, and is not leaving the house. I called my closest friend, but she is busy. Most of the world will be heading to a Super Bowl event. The play is at 2:00, so I will probably be home by kick off, but it seems unlikely I would find a taker.

Wish I lived closer Sunbeam. I would LOVE to go with you.

Mama - I hear you about the meal. It's gotten to the point where I just can't justify spending that much. :upset: Have fun today.

Fly - thanks for your words of wisdom. They all really are true. :l

Ok - I slept in until noon. :H I stayed up until 3:00 last night because I was alone and it was wonderful. So, now my day is shot. Going to try to wake up here.

Have a wonderful day. We are not interested in the Superbowl but I'm sure we'll hear neighbors screaming. :H

I expect that most people at work tomorrow will be very tired and maybe hungover. Ah well, I'll just do my job, don't have to be too social.

Nora, I would have loved your company. I saw a new musical called Next to Normal. The actors/singers were outstanding. It was a story about a woman (and her family) living with chronic mental illness. Like medical illnesses, a new med or treatment can sometimes improve things a bit, but it never really goes away. We would all like to believe otherwise, but that isn't real life. You need to just figure out how to keep going the best you can.

Sounds like a really good show. I'm glad you had fun.

We just went to the market to get groceries. The chip aisle was empty and I imagine the beer aisle was too. I saw many men running in to the store in pairs. Looked like a beer run to me.

I have been so lazy today...still in my Jammie's at 5:40pm! Oh we'll, I was exhausted. Sierra is at my aunts house watching the Super Bowl...I prefer to be right here on my couch. Tomorrow is Monday...ugh! I am on call for jury duty all week..don't have to go tomorrow but have to call every night to see about the next day. Ok...gotta go color my hair...my gray streak is appearing again.

K9 - sounds like you had as exciting a day as I've had. :H I was sending a text to my son to tell him that I got him the hot sauce he wanted and also some M&M's. I never heard back. Finally checked again and I had sent the text to Mama Bear. She must have been wondering why i was getting her Sriracha.

Thanks for the advice Fly, I'm still hanging in there

I have to have some very painful physiotherapy this afternoon, and I've already had to give myself a stern lecture that it doesn't mean I deserve a 'reward' afterwards, or give me permission to medicate the pain away with a few glasses of wine. I've been using alcohol for pain relief for a long time for some chronic medical conditions, but I'm going to have to find a better way. I'm half way through day 4 and I am NOT going to start day one again tomorrow.

Enjoy the superbowl, those of you who are watching it. They're broadcasting it live over here, and there seems to be a lot of beer going around to go with it too. Trouble is it starts at midday, so there's a lot of drinking time between now and bedtime!

Oh Glass - I'm so sorry. I hope that you feel better. You are right, we'll use alcohol to self medicate. I've done the same thing. I remember years ago, before I reached this point, talking to a woman that had a back injury. She was talking about having to decide in the evening if she was going to take her pain meds or drink.

Late night (for me) last night. We went to a Super Bowl party about an hour away and guess who was the designated driver? Of course I'm happy to do that, it was just late! And I have to work today, unlike my husband. I'm usually in bed by 10pm. But I'm up now and ready to go.

Glass I remember feeling the same way when I quit smoking. It was hell to me and once a had a couple days behind me I swore I'd never restart because I didn't want to go through that pain again.

K9 it's nice to have you hanging out with us on the weekends now!
