One Step at a Time - November 2014

[K9Lover]

Yeah, I've already seen Dexter and The Walking Dead. I have Season One of Dowtown Abbey but not Season 2. Oh what a delimma. LOL

[K9Lover]

Ok delimma solved. I just walked next door to the library and got Downton Abbey Seasons 2 and 3. I am set. LOL

[sunshinedaisies]

Okay - I am back. Had a good session with my therapist and am feeling a bit better about everything. She didn't touch on a lot of stuff but the stuff we did talk about made a lot of sense to me. She is SO good - shame my insurance doesn't cover her .... and as far as Nursie coming home after two days - with my first mastectomy, I came home the next day but the 2nd mastectomy I talked the doc into letting me home four hours after the surgery ..... so it might not be the HMO fault here - it all depends on how we as patients, feel as well - everyone except me and the doc were all up in arms about me being let home that same day - but I felt FINE and as Nursie is a nurse, I am sure that she feels comfortable too .... I just really feel for her with chemo looming - I would not wish that on ANYONE and do not think I would ever go through it again.

K9 I really liked Downtown Abbey to begin with but have stopped watching it - I think I saw up to half way through season 4 and got fed up with it. LOVE the characters in it and the costumes are great though - I will be interested to see what you think.

Dottie - so sorry about your tooth - how is it hurting though if you have already had a root canal and a crown ? I thought once the root was gone, a tooth didn't hurt any more - poor you, there is nothing worse than toothache - except maybe ear ache. Hope all goes well with it today - thinking of you ..... and when I went part time, I lost my dental insurance but we got another one - but I wonder if it is worth keeping as it only pays the first $1000 in any one year - I am not sure..... we do get two cleanings too though ..

MB - sorry that you are poorly again too - gosh, lots of folk unwell at the moment - at least mine is in my head and not physical ! One blessing I suppose ....

I called the gym and am meeting with the trainer tomorrow to chat about maybe having some sessions with her. Hopefully she will know what to do with me that will not leave me incapable of lifting my arm to brush my hair - LOL

Going to get going - want to put some more washing in and also going to check out snow blowers - LOL

Hugs, Sun XXX

[sunshinedaisies]

OMG - snow blowers are EXPENSIVE. We shall continue to shovel ....LOL

I am going to walk the dog .....

[K9Lover]

Sunni - What made you get tired of Downton Abbey? Although I must admit, I got tired of Breaking Bad and just couldn't make myself watch it anymore!

The weather is so dark and gloomy and it's "drizzling" (closest we get to rain)....I'd love to be home reading a book with Forrest and little psycho dog next to me. LOL

[mama bear]

find "Welcome the Midwives" or something like that....it's a British show about midwives during WW!
something about Midwives.....
Wow, Sun. I am amazed that you went home so soon. I guess since my boobs are the size of a VW the thought of removing them terrifies me!!! But I understand wanting to be home.
Off to my business function in a few.....

[mama bear]

Sun - have the tears stopped, or at least slowed down.

[sunshinedaisies]

K9 - I think the programme that MB is looking for the name of is Call the Midwife and I really enjoyed it .... I got fed up with Downton because it seemed to me that they had almost run out of story lines and were just coming up with the same old thing .... I really enjoyed the first couple of seasons though ....

MB - maybe I just have a high pain threshold ? I don't know - but I would much rather be at home than in the hospital - I remember everyone was so cross - even the nurses, that the doc was sending me home - hubs was too, but I was totally fine with it and felt good ..... I had a hysterectomy and was home the next day - and out walking the dogs at 6.00 the next morning - what was ironic was that my mum had come to stay to 'help' and she came down that morning to find me already having walked the dogs and I was making breakfast!

I am feeling a tad better thanks - had a good appt this morning and although nothing has really changed I am looking at things slightly differently - hopefully can work this out myself......

Snow flurries on and off all day - but none of it stuck or even landed really ... very cold out though. Going to talk to the trainer at the gym tomorrow morning at 8.00.

Hugs to all, Sun XX

[Dottie Belle]

Did the set up for funeral tonight....I am tired...
tooth was fine when I got to the dentist. She said if it acts up again she will give me an antibiotic. The x-ray didn't show anything wrong with it....figures...
I know nothing about any of the shows u all talk about..not sure if that is good or bad.
A little TV then bed so I can get up early tomorrow....

Mama, the lawyer gave us a notice of intent that we had to move. He total hubs he would give him 3 to 4 months notice (he sold the building), we had 6 weeks. I guess as long as it's 30 days notice he's within his rights.

So my co worker is going to Costa Rica for two weeks. She is full time, I am part time, which means I'd have to cover her. She was out sick all last week. She put in for two weeks vacation beginning of January as her daughter in law is having a baby. Which means a fifty hour work week all of that time. Plus I am having thanksgiving here. I just want to cry! My hubby and son say they will help for thanksgiving, but we know how that goes. I will be in boston the weekend before thanksgiving. I just can't do it all!!!

Thanks for letting me vent. I just have so much aniexty about this. On the bright side maybe it will pay for some of the Christmas gifts I bought today! I moved mountains!!!

Well off to bed and read for a bit. Sweet dreams!

[mama bear]

morning loves
my meeting was incredibly boring and I sat next to woman I did not that did haz mat clean ups...dead bodies and such..........
but I did my part for my company, career and resume
Lizz- you have a full plate. Maybe Thanksgiving can be low key so you are not so stressed out
Sun- I a glad therapy went well and I hope you are investigating some meds
Dottie - I never watch regular TV...everything is on cable or Netflix...you might wan to check out Netflix...
shower and work
Glad it's Friday
Hi Pauly.....special good morning to you

[sunshinedaisies]

Good Morning all ....

Bet that was fun MB sitting next to that lady - or could you not chat with her ?

Lizann - what I try and do when faced with things like that, that get me stressed, is play it through - the 'what would be the worst thing that could happen?' game. So, what would be the worst thing that could happen? you could mess up Thanksgiving Dinner - so what would be the worst thing about that? And you continue playing it through until it just seems silly - it doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things - when you decide what is the worst thing that could happen and then keep asking 'why?' too - I am not sure if I have explained it very well - it is much easier to do face to face with someone. same with your having to work the 50 hours a week - what is the worst thing that could happen? you would be tired.... and what is the worst thing about that? You would want to sleep .... so what is so bad about that?

Gosh you are so good getting Christmas pressies already - my daughter did give us her CAT'S list - LOL I haven't even thought about it yet - this year will be very quiet as MIL will probably be too poorly to come over, eldest daughter and hubs will not be flying in this year, so I am not sure what we will be doing - all I do know is that it will be VERY quiet! Probably much like any other day .....which is fine.

Very cold here again this morning - 16 degrees right now. At least the chance for snow on Saturday has gone down - and if it does, very little accumulation.

Hugs, Sun XXX

[Dottie Belle]

Morning all,
23 degrees here this mrning.....bbbbbbbbrrrrrrrrrrrrr really too cold this time of year for us....global warming I guess...
Off to be the basement church lady today for the funeral...got most of it set up last night...I do not want to be the chair of this committee...way too much work....I am retired......should sleep in......
Have a great Friday..I will be back tonight when I am sure I will be very tired...

Hello everyone......

Hugs - Liz......Sunni has a good idea there. Think about the worse scenario and then find the bright spot.

Mama - that must have been interesting chatting with that woman.

K9 - glad that you have your tv watching all set.

Sunni - I'm glad that you had a good therapy session.

Dots - glad that your tooth is ok. How frustrating!

Please send Nursie my love. I don't know why I'm not friends with her on Facebook. I would have liked to have sent her a message.

I'm having bad luck with my electronics.i: I got a fitbit. Worked for 2 days and broke. Supposed to get a replacement tomorrow. My Kindle Fire froze. Got my replacement and it started having issues. Just contacted Customer Support and I had to do a Factory Reset on it. Aaarrrrgggghhhhh I'm keeping my fingers crossed that my laptop keeps chugging along. :rotlf:

Ok - off to get ready for work. I don't want to pull a Nora.

[Lizann]

I love you guys!! One of the girls in my department, knows how to run the front office part and she offered to cover my days off!!! My manager will likely have to bring a nurse to cover her(which will really cut into her budget), but her problem not mine. This has never been the case in the past and I am so grateful! You see, yet again, I got upset over nothing!

Dottie, there sure are a lot of funerals at your church!

Happy Friday check in later. Off to bundle up and walk, then back to work.
