One Step at a Time - September 2014

Back. I had visitors arrive... neighborhood ladies. Damn, a year or so ago I wouldn't even have got up to let them in the door! I'm not in a perfect place now, but it is much better. When I was at my worst I wouldn't socialize and we all know I'm naturally gregarious. Effing AL.

OK... off to forage for fodder!

Hugs to all concerned! :l

Jeeeze Sunny... 4 hours. ( I've noticed that us Brits iron more than out American counterparts. I've gradually crossed over to their camp. I used to iron everything, even my PJs, but I've started "folding" a lot of things. And nobody has ever said "My! That looks wrinkled!" X

[QUOTE=Frequent Traveler;n2513797]Monday monday... oh well its just another day right.
I got a kick out of my boss this Sunday, there was a little issue here with my plane and when I reported this to him he said "almost made it with a clean weekend, but actually you ruined it Saturday with your letter" Really you almost ruined my life with all this BS and your worried about your weekend... there I feel better now.
Well its official, got the job offer letter today and now just need to sit down and fill out and send back, start new job Oct 13th and heading out of here Sept 30th so I will have a little time at home to relax and recoup.
I plan on seeing my Dr when I get home and discuss all this with him also as he knows me since 1994 and all issues that I have had, just feel more comfortable with him.
Thanks all for encouraging words they are appreciated.
FT soon to be IT

IT (!)... I think you may have triggered your medical condition through stress. I really hope you get to your usual Doctor as soon as you get back. To heck with you ruining Saturday for him... good grief. Tell him Mama is going to come and open a can of Whoop Ass on him!

Well, I just had a lovely phone call from Coriander! X It was great hearing from you Cori... and I love that Aussie accent. (Cori is a very pretty, petite, ass kicking, Undie by the way, for those that don't know!)

You guys all rock. Wonder where I would have been if I hadn't found this site. Love you all to bits.

Hey everyone - good morning. The site took ages to load this morning - in fact I wondered if it was going to then when it finally did, was really slow going anywhere !! Hmmmm.

Yes Zen - I know that we Brits do tend to iron more - I still do - but do not have a dryer - well I do but it broke many years ago and I use my line outside in the summer and lines in the cellar in the winter - I do not WANT nor need a dryer -hubs periodically grumbles about not having one and says we need to either fix ours or buy a new one - but I disagree. I actually enjoy ironing - just do not usually leave it this long and let it pile up this badly. I set it up in front of the tele and catch up on my DVD's !! Watched the end of series 10 of new Tricks last night !!

Since the site changed over the thread has really quietened down a lot hasn't it ..... which is a shame. Hope everyone is back up and running soon .... it is taking a while to get used to, but it is only by using it that we will all get used to it !!

IFT - good to hear your news - I am so happy for you but like Zen says - I think it will be good to get home and see your own GP !!

Oh - trying to reply but the only post I can see is the ONE before mine - so cannot remember for the life of me what anyone has said plus I need to get ready for work - just going in for a couple of hours - did I tell you how much I am LOVING retirement !! LOL Seriously - I am loving this - I go in just for a few hours and do pretty much what I want - I am really happy - and having been AF too has made a world of difference as well. Hubs stopped drinking as well - his first AF night was last night .....

Got to go and get ready .... back later. have a wonderful day everyone,

hugs, Sun XXXX

Hi ~ was on in middle of night but once again, could not send my post. Got the big ALERT sign. I think it's because I was negative about not being able to sleep. Seriously.

Hey, Sun and MB, I iron too. Not a whole lot, in fact, don't think I'd have 4 hrs worth of clothes. When I was in the corporate world, a friend taught me to just hang everything in the closet, leave your ironing board up, and iron what you're going to wear each day. Even though I didn't like seeing the wrinkled stuff in closet (think it's an OCD thing) I finally got used to it. Both dh & I did that for years and still do. When I retired I started ironing dh stuff and he said he didn't want me to spend my time that way. Ok. Actually, I think he thinks he is a better ironer than I am. Could very well be.

Zen, is Cori and old time stepper? Nice you could reconnect.
Sun, good for you and dh. How did he sleep? I finally fell asleep after 2:30a. And this was after walking both a.m. & p.m., total of 5 miles. Now we'll see if I'm able to post this.

Have a nice Tuesday everyone! Off to play golf (talk about loving retirement), but could be pretty wet. If cart path only, I just turn my thinking to ok, fine, more steps! And wearing black to cover the mud splatters!

Morning all,
Iron, what is an iron??? I think I have one, must have been my mohters......4 letter word......nope no ironing here.
Off to breakfast with dh. His birthday is Sunday and we get a free entree at his favorite breakfast place so off we go.
Will pick up dads meds after that then stay for a visit. Costco is last on the list.

Morning all! How is everyone doing? I haven't had time to read back but I just wanted to check in on my peeps. I still am not sure I like the "new" site. Then again, it's difficult for me to accept change. LOL Will check in later

Morning all,
Yup plan is to see my own Dr when I get home next week.
Ok question? My GF is all pissed at me right now, we had planned to take a trip to Italy next month for a week and then this health issue and new job offer came up. OK one more item is that my son has his last home golf match on the 7th and its encouraged for parents to attend as all seniors get presented with a award acknowleging their 4 years on the golf team a photo with parents and team as well as coach, this she knew was important to me and my son. OK so when health issue arrived, new job offer dropped into my lap and they want me to start Oct 13th which is meant that we had to cancel this trip or correctly reschedule she became upset that we could not go earlier and what was so important about being at sons golf final??? REALLY.
I also told her with health issue how do we know I am even fit to travel at this time for a long flight like that??
Am I wrong for standing my ground here, she feels I am taking my son over her? Well yea as I have missed enough stuff with him thru the years and this moment is a one time deal as it will not come back but a trip to Italy can be scheduled anytime.
