One Step at a time - April 2015

sun I have always done a final walk through to make sure the items that I asked to be fixed were actually fixed and that is what the buyers did and found that 2 items on their list were still not correct. I wish they had not done it at the last minute on a Friday so I cant get a hold of anyone. But my realtor talked to their realtor and I have contacted the folks who did the work so it will be taken care of.

feeling stressed....packing for almost a week in Orlando and I have so much to do..I leave early Tuesday and I will be fine...just making sure I have everything I need
heading over to Nana's for dinner...a good meal will be nice
I got some laundry done, but by no means all of it
Love to all, especially you Dots. the pictures of the flowers at the zoo were amazing...I thought anyone could expect right not is to go through the motions.....you are being incredibly string
good for everyone taking AB
Nora - you ok?

Thanks for understanding the panic attacks. I've had them before but not like this. I was in afib with one earlier and now it's like a rabbit in my chest and I can't breathe. Doc gave me some Ativan, so I slept last night. Off to the house tomorrow with a couple in my pocket.

Hugs to all.

x post SK....I take klonopin for anxiety.....

[paulywogg]

Ditto on the klonopin,all benzos are addictive with long-term use,but klono is good cuz it lasts longer and you don't have to keep taking it every few hours, can't wait to see what's on the menu next week Mama Louie is being a grouchy ass today!was thinking about how sweet a grand daughter would be as I was grocery shopping this morning, screw that!!!!!

I gotta eat better....I know I am stresses my hair is coming out...more on the comb after my shower. The gym will be iffy this week because of all the stuff I have to do. Maybe I can at least get in some walking.
Rain, rain and more rain today. I dont even want to take the dogs out any more than the want to go out. UGH....

[mama bear]

yes Dottie.....you HAVE to take care of yourself.....
coffee, shower and back to work
I will need a Superwoman cape this week!

Quick check in. I'm at work. Just as well, the weathers pretty crappy out. Thankfully my co worker will be back tomorrow. My schedule should get back to normal. Have a good Monday guys!

[Dottie Belle]

Morning all,
Weather is a mess out. Rain and wind. I hate driving in this and the closing is across town. Maybe by later today it will clear up some..I sure hope so.
Sad day for me to sell the house I grew up in but I must. NO choice without hubbs to take care of things. Hate to think my life is in the last chapter already Where did the time go????

[K9Lover]

Happy Monday everyone! (ugh)

I had a very relaxing and uneventful weekend which was just what I needed! No drinkin' for this gal! I am happy to say I am on 10 days straight...I plan on staying on the AB for as long as need be. I just feel so much better and everyone is telling me I look better too. I actually read TWO books this weekend and got caught up in some new Netflix shows. I still have those "thoughts" but that's to be expected. I think them then just let them go.

Everyone sounds so busy and all I did was lay around, watch TV and read...so not much to report on this end!

Hope you're all rested and feeling better. Will be back later after I've had time to catch up!

Hello everyone!!!

I am in Oregon finally. I got here Friday after a 3 hour delay and missing a connecting flight. But, I made it. My brother and his friend (his friend was on the same flights as I was) left on Saturday morning and will be back on Thursday.
Mom is doing ok. I can see the decline but she is still able to get around with her walker. After I've been here a couple of days, I don't see the big changes like when I first arrive. But, her memory is definitely worse. But, it is so great to be here with her. I have to get her up pretty soon to take her to get some lab work done. I am taking her to the Doctor on Friday for a check up.

Sounds like everyone here has been busy!

Mama - Wow! Take care of yourself. You have been going non-stop!

K9 - I've been reading a lot too. Think I've read 3 books since I've been here. I love it.

After 12 days of jury duty, they finally finished their closing arguments and at 4:00 last Thursday, I was excused because I had this vacation planned. I am so upset that they didn't let me go an made me miss 2 weeks of work (with NO PAY). I didn't get to do any deliberations and I think he is innocent. I have been having nightmares every night about it. I am going to try to call the defense attorney's office and see if they will tell me what the outcome was. I know that there were about 4 other people that felt like I did, so it was probably a hung jury??? But, I just can't get it out of mind.

Dots - I hear you about the childhood home. It was hard for me when my parents moved up here to Oregon and my childhood home was sold.

SKendall - so sorry about the panic attacks. I have had them too and it is such an awful, awful feeling.

Sunnie - when are you moving? You are so busy now. When do you go see your Mum? I am about to pull up 'A Man Called Ove' and read it again. That is such a great book.

Paulie - you are such a sweetie to take care of Louie all the time. I would love to have a grandbaby. Maybe, I should let them get married first though, huh? :congratulatory:

Liz - sounds like you are doing well. Good for you!!!

Rusty - how are you doing?

I'm in a better frame of mind now. Being away from the stressful work is helping a lot. I brought my AB with me too. Going to just take if for awhile. I wanted to do it on my own but I realize that I need help right now. :love:

Well - I better go wake up Mom. She stayed up LATE last night. I went to sleep around 11:00 and she was up until about 3:00. Her body clock is out of whack.

Have a great day everyone.

Closing went off without a hitch. Nice young couple with a 1 year old child. Just what that house needs. I am happy for them. Didn't make near as much as I had hoped but it is gone and I dont have to pay any more utilities or taxes so that is good.
Now I need to tidy up the house. So much that needs to be done and I plan to take my time to do them.
