One Step at a Time - August 2015

Yep Fen....I agree with Nora....I've been a stay at home mom/grandmother most of my life. That is the lowest paid job that exists....hubby always worked and I work outside the home on occasion. You deserve to get compensation for all your hard work!

Hope everyone is having a successful day!

[fennel]

SKendall, it does sound as though Peggy is improving! Is she drinking water normally? I do hope that she pulls through!

[fennel]

Nora and Blue, thank you for your kind words. I know that my work at home was greatly valued by Mrs. Fen when we were together. She always commented on the great meals and the care I gave to her folks. Everything on the home front was covered by me, plus some on the business front. I know that my work was of value and she's now understanding that I won't blindly sign off on whatever she wants to sail past me.

Still, she needs me. She was so sad about our cat and called the vet. She went to pick up an anti-nausea med at the vet's office per my okay. She could have hauled the cat in today (for the third day in a row) to the vet's for the injection, but I give the cat her vitamin shots all the time...and why traumatize her further? Mrs. Fen has canceled her travel plans to be with the cat. I stopped by while Mrs. Fen was away and gave the kitty her shot. I felt badly, because the medicine stings and the cat cried out..but she's feeling a lot better. Mrs. Fen has expressed gratitude to me for it. I have a past in the medical field and am used to inserting needles of all sizes into both humans and cats, so I'm not squeamish about this task.

Divorce is just sad and hard.

I truly hope that we will emerge as friends.

I AM HOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
and going to bed, so I will catch up later.
I am hoping Hurricane Kartrina will kick and I won't have to go to Atlanta next week.
Is that bad?
I will get up fresh as a daisy and read back.

Hi all. After grieving for Peggy all night, I am a little more hopeful. With the support I've received here and on facebook, I am coping.

I thought I'd see if there were any reviews on Amazon - and they don't carry it. Very telling in that they sell other flea products and Amazon is always my go to for almost anything.

For those of you who haven't paid social security try to put away as much as you can. I had a very nice pension nest egg until hubs spent it and I will be very reliant on S.S.

Thanks again.

Ahh mama you are tired! It is hurricane Erica that looms. Anyway, I hope it works in your favor.
Fen, I am glad mrs fen appreciates you. Glad the kitty is feeling better. From where I sit, it sounds like you guys can work this out amicably as difficult as it might seem. 16 years counts for something.

[Lizann]

Pauly, you are still young, you might want to address that retirement thing ASAP. Just put a little away each week.
Nora, enjoy that heat while you can. I for one will not complain.
I spent as much time outside today as I could. It's gonna be snowing soon
So kept super busy today, which is good. Had a patient today who swallowed a razor blade, glass and an earring. Kind of gave me a swift kick in the butt. Sad as it is, I think she's gonna be ok. I have so much to be thankful for! My boy is coming home tomorrow and I'm so excited! Texted him today and he seems excited to be coming home. I'm going to be early because tomorrow can't come soon enough!!!

[paulywogg]

Liz,did she swallow that stuff on purpose? Mama,you are tired haha,Skendall,I think Peggy is gonna pull through

[Lizann]

Yes she did. So sad, she was in the ER two days ago ingested batteries. There by the grace of God go I.

SKendall, Peggy is still among the quick, yes?

Hi there friends. So sorry for all your troubles. You are all wonderful people. I have been through a thicket of life's curve balls recently. I like: Accept what is, let go of what was, and have faith in what will be. Love you. Always available to help!!!

[blue1]

Glad you're home Mama!
SK- Yayyyyyy for Peggy!
Fen-so glad to hear the kitty is feeling better!
Techie- I love that quote!

Everybody have a successful Saturday!

[blue1]

Liz- that is so sad! I've had suicidal thoughts before.....but never thought about doing anything like that....wow! I'm glad she made it!
It's been quite a while since I had those thoughts...thank God!

[mama bear]

Heavens, I have missed so much sadness and I feel bad that I have not been here for everyone.
Fenny- I have been heartbroken for you, but after reading back. I am livid that you are being treated this way. You have been greatly missed here and I hate it that you are suffering. GRRRRRRRR
SK- it's so good to see you, but I am sorry about Peggy. How is she now?
Dots - I just updated my spreadsheet!!
I just spent five 10-hour days working on Excel spreadsheets and could care less if I see another one!
We were very productive and banged out a lot of work. My boss has a glamper.......glamorous camper and it's easily a $300,000 one. I was gobsmacked. I had never seen one. She put my co-worker and I in a little cabin and her husband cooked all week for us. It was very generous of her and I bought her a small thank you present for all her hospitality. I would love to see more money in my paycheck. but her generosity was amazing.
Hugs to you Nora, Pauly and Lizz.
I hope all the furbabies get better, and Fenny if you need to escape, come this way.
I love you all.....and HI to you goofy Rusty!!
Sorry if I forgot anyone....oh yeah, HI Blue and sweet Techie and ABC!

[mama bear]

I never got to meet Perry due to chemo at 39, thank heavens.
Fen -I am shocked you didn't know what BOB was!!! My best friend.....tee hee!!
