Jane, I live in northern NJ and yes the pool float is wonderful. We are going to venice, Croatia, Greece. Traveling makes me extremely anxious, especially Europe. I need to get a handle on this.

Lizann, That sounds soooooo nice. Did you say it was a cruise or are you flying? Packing for a trip & flying used to be a huge drunk for me. Anxiety up the wazoooo. It has finally subsided thankfully. There's going to a lot of firsts not being blasted/ hence anxiety. (I want my ba ba) There's no way around that, but each successful feels like a big victory and makes your foundation that much stronnger.

Morning all,
Jane I belong to a number of "meet up" groups. Mostly walking etc. Did find a widow/widowers group too. The walks have been on the other side of town and I dont like driving places I dont know alone. I am hoping for some on this side of town if not I may suggest some. I am NOT crafty at all. Zero artistic talent.
I take the wild child doggie to training starting June 1 so that is one evening a week for 6 weeks then I will continue with him to the next level. My police class is over on the 10th so will look around for something else and maybe the volunteer work with them will be evening activities for the summer. I am trying but I am a little picky....I dont want to do something just for the sake of doing it unless I have some interest...OK so that is the long winded version.
Gym later. Back to not sleeping well so I need to kick butt so I can sleep. Need to gas up my car too.
Going to take 1 doggie to vet on Saturday for shots then maybe I will take her to the park. She is the best behaved of them all. Hope I have a crate big enough for her. If not I might have to buy one so I can transport them alone. When dh drove I could handle 2 but I dont want them in my face while driving. Sigh
K9 how are you??
Pauly where are you????

[Lizann]

Jane, thank you for your kind words. I'm still waiting for it to get easier. I'm going to PM you. It's a Mediterranean cruise, we fly into Venice Italy.

Lizz - a vacation would send me into full drink mode. I get it, believe me. Good thing I don't get one for a year, huh?
Jane, you are such a nice addition to our family. It's getting way too quiet here and I hate that.
Nora - antibiotics have given me a rumbly tummy, but nothing worse.
Hi Pauly!!
Eating left over Chinese and going to crash. All is well in my world, just tired.
K9 - I am SO gonna kick your ass for not being here..................

[NoraC]

Hello all - great to read all the posts. It has been too quiet here. Since Mama & I have stopped posting at work, it's too quiet. :harhar:

Pauly - you had to quit your antibiotics too? I still feel crummy today. My gosh! I sure hope that you start feeling better right away. Have you been working every day? It's hard to work when you feel so sick!

Dottie - your ride along sounded great! Very exciting. You are an amazing woman - I am so impressed with everything you are doing. I know it's so hard for you but you are really handling things so well. I wish I could give you a real hug. :hug:

Rusty - I can't get over how much you travel. What a pain in the butt about your phone. Also, what an early meeting! Did I ever tell you that we just have to send in proof of completing a maintenance plan on every machine and then we'll be certified? I had hoped that things would get better at work (stress level) but so far I'm still hoping.

Liz - hang in there. You have been doing amazing, you really have. When are you leaving on your trip?

Jane - I can't believe the side effects you had from that antibiotic. It is really scary how some meds can affect us. Regarding the Naltrexone, I understand what you are saying about the buzz. Maybe that's why I drank the other day and didn't take it. I have not been taking it since being so sick from the antibiotic. I want to get it a fair try but don't even know if I'll be able to. Right now, it's hard to even eat anything because of feeling so sick. So at least that is a good thing. :welldone: The thought of a drink makes me gag. I even rescheduled my hair appointment so I must be bad. LOL

Mama - I agree that we just need to be thankful for what we have. I have really been trying to have a more positive attitude. Trying to appreciate what is important. I am sorry about the foreclosure though.

SK - how are you doing?

I hope that everyone is enjoying their evening. Keep on posting. Great to see everyone here.

[NoraC]

I need to stop trying to use so many smilies - my posts keep getting rejected and then I have to go back and take them out. :harhar:

I hope that K9 is ok.

[Lizann]

Good evening guys. Day ended up being pretty good, lunch with a friend, then directly to sissys house. Her sons prom was tonight. The kids were all so excited. Ahh to be that young again. She had pickys and stuff there, so we just hung out. I'm exhausted, so off to bed. Tomorrow is my early day at work. Thanks guys for the support. I love you all.

[NoraC]

Liz - I sent you a PM. Get some good rest. :hug:

[mama bear]

Good morning love bugs.
Nora - I love to see you posting and sorry about your tummy.
Glad you had a nice evening Lizz.
I wish I had time to post at work, but I barely even go potty throughout the day!
Bret said someone was banging on the front door when he was home for lunch yesterday, so I guess the houding by the bank has begun. Sigh
coffee and out the door....

[paulywogg]

Hey guys,Mama,I think its such bullshit that people have been getting foreclosed on for these past few years, I just don't understand why the banks don't work with you,then they turn and sell the houses for pennies practically, Nora,had to quit my antibiotics but now my ear hurts worse,grrr,they were making my stomach hurt bad though and I was getting itchy rashes,I dunno,Louie is aallergic to amoxicillan and so was my gramma, maybe I am too,I'mstill groggy so hello to all and enjoy your Friday,oh yeah Dots I forgot to comment on the Facebook pic you posted a week or so ago,you do look good

[Dottie Belle]

Morning all,
Thanks Pauly I thought so too. It really showed up in the picture. Dh would be so happy that I lost the weight but not how I did it...sigh
HVAC folks called to reschedule my appointment for today so that totally messes up the entire day.
Later I am participating in a school invasion simulation with the police dept. I dont know what I will be doing but it should be interesting. I will give you all a full report later tonight.
DH was in my dreams again last night. A little unsettling for me but maybe he is trying to tell me something. I dont know but I am open to his communication.
Storms overnight. My garden needed the rain.
Where is K9?? Has anyone heard from her?????

[mama bear]

Dottie, I am glad hubby is talking to you.
I guess I need to get on K9's butt...
I just walked in and am going to bed.....feeling very overwhelmed, but not drinking. Yay me?

[Dottie Belle]

Had a good time at the simulation event tonight with the police. Lots of interesting things to do for them. My ears are still ringing from the fake rounds they shot in the school. We were playing teachers in the school invasion. Last class this week then graduation.
Where is everyone????????
