One Step at a Time -February 2015

[Dottie Belle]

Liz I could not handle that...sometimes I am glad hubs is clueless and I have no siblings...

[Lizann]

Dottie how did you feel when you had your Afib, if I might ask?
Managed to calm myself down some.
Sweet dreams:love:

[Dottie Belle]

Liz I felt light headed and could tell that my heart was out of rhythm....I waited for it to right itself but it did not and I was afraid of a blood clot. That is why I went to the ER....

[Dottie Belle]

I didnt sleep much at the hospital. They keep coming in to take vitals and to take blood which I declined....so I am off to bed.
Weather is going to be a mess tomorrow so maybe I can sleep in and chill. Dog training is later in the day but if the weather is bad she will cancel or we just wont go.
Did I mention that I HATE WINTER!!!!

Good morning from 24 degree FLORIDA...I live in Florida, darn it!
Lizz - you may need to tell the family to back off. They think they are helping you, but they aren't. Can you have a family meeting and tell them how much they are upsetting you and some parameters need to be created?? Let tem know they are driving you to drink.....quite the opposite of what they want.
K8 couldn't talk coz Sierra was sitting there with her. I imagine K9 is sticking by her side....I know I would be.
She said she would be back soon.
Going to get my hair cut and colored today....no more roots.
Happy Saturday everyone, and Dots, rest!!!!

Dottie - SO sorry about the atrial fib - that must have been pretty scary for you. so glad that you are okay! And yes, with hubs surgery Monday you are probably getting worried and stressed out ..... feel better XXXX

Liz - I agree with MB - your family are driving you to drink and need to back off. you need to talk to them and explain what they are doing - that you do understand where they are coming from but that you are a GROWNUP and need to do this without them breathing down your neck.

Weather here is the pits - ice and sleet last night - everything has a thin layer of ice and now it is snowing. Not much expected but not good on top of ice. At least the temp is warmer !! It is 28 - that is warmer than Florida - WOW !!! That must be the cold snap that we had earlier in the week ..... sorry MB - that must be the pits for you down there, not being used to it.

Pauly - glad that you are starting to feel better with your tapering - must be difficult for you. Good for you with continuing it. You will get there in the end I am sure !

Hi Rusty - sorry about your long commute - is it driving or other form of transport ? I enjoy your long chatty posts - you always seem to say the right thing !

Nora - sorry that you are struggling with life. It really has been one thing after another for you for so long now hasn't it ?

SO sorry to hear about K9 and Sierra - very hard on her - I cannot imagine what it must be like - hugs to her if you text with her MB .....

Have a good day everyone - hugs, Sun XX

So I'm off to the baby shower in south jersey. Just letting you know where I am if I don't check in today. My SIL who lives in SJ offered to let us sleep over if the weather gets to bad to drive home. Just saying this is the stuff that drives me to drink. Waiting for other SIL and niece to go(the one with which I have a strained relationship with). Wish me luck. I'll read back later.

Morning all,
Slept pretty well. We are snowed in so I can play catch up all day. Dog training was cancelled too. Going to do a little laundry but not much else. I feel pretty good all things considered.
mama I feel your pain.
sun good to see u.
Liz be careful out there...
I will be around all day. What else do I have to do.....;-))

[mama bear]

Sitting under the dryer at the salon and thought I would check in
Lizz- good luck today. We are sitting on your shoulder.
Hi Sunshine. I am so glad you are back with us.
Dots, I am glad you are resting.

More heavy snow coming down....we may not get out until Monday. Hubbs surgery is late morning so hopefully we can get out by then....good thing we didnt have plans for today...laundry is coming right along and watching DVR.....

[mama bear]

Home with bee-u-ti-ful hair! Gonna flop for a bit before date night.
Tucky's grandpa died today....sad.
I think she will be a mess, bit I clearly explained to her how many hours she can take off. I hate having to be this way with her.

[Dottie Belle]

WooHoo mama on being beautiful!!!! I would not make a good manager....too soft....
Laundry is done and we are eating soup I made earlier in the week.
Still snowing....I think we are getting more than they predicted.
DVR is running all day. Glad I have some good things to watch.

Hey all, Dots that snow sounds like a pain in the ass! Mama, don't you feel so good when you get your hair did? I'm still struggling with sleep deprivation, today I was herky-jerky at work but at least I made it, sheesh, I've tried melatonin, time released melatonin, Advil pm,benadryl, sleepy time tea,warm milk and honey, homeopathic remedy, valerian,5- htp,I fall asleep like a rock but am waking up at God awful hours maybe it's my 11 herbs and spices keeping me up, but I don't want to stop it cuz it helps during the day, dunno, hope everyone is having a good Saturday

[mama bear]

going on date night in a few....despite my sinus headache
Pauly, please find a good doctor so you can get proper rest.
Enjoy some down time Dots.
yes, I love getting my hair done...I look at least 6 months younger!

[Dottie Belle]

Hi pauly....yep the snow is a pain in the arse.....not being able to go out is even worse but a good day to relax.
