One Step at a Time - November 2015

[NoraC]

Mama - can't wait to hear all about your first day.

Pauly - you're right - if we're drinking, we're not able to help our loved ones.

Fen - I hate posting from my phone or my kindle. I'm glad that your internet is back up now.

[mama bear]

I am just home. It was a good but long day and I will check in in the morning. I have had a pounding headache all day and I am hoping it is just sinuses.
Love to all

[NoraC]

I was able to get a little clip of my Mom talking about how close our family is. I was able to upload it to Facebook and share with my nieces, nephew and cousins. Nice.

Rusty - glad that you are having fun at home.

Liz - how cute that Lucy has her pj's. LOL I have sweaters for my doggies too but they haven't needed them yet this year.

[NoraC]

Cowboy - no offense meant. I'm sure you keep a very clean house. osteroops:

[NoraC]

x-post Mama - feel better :hug:

[NoraC]

TMH - How was your outing last night? Hope you had a good time.

Oh, gosh...I feel like I missed out on so much! Pauly, I'm glad you're there for Kell...anxiety is a real pain in the ass, I should know. SSRIs do work for me, but it takes a lot of experimenting to find the right one. Please let Kell know that.

Mama, I hope your headache goes away, and I am dying to hear how your day went!

Nora, I wish I could hear what your mom said.

Hey guys.
Nora, moms anxiety is understandable. Try giving her a quarter of a pill. That might do it. How long is the plane trip? You seem to be holding up really well. Good for you.
Pauly, it took me a couple of different ssri to find one that worked for me. I also started on the lowest dose and would take just half of that. Maybe she could start really low and just take half of that. I'm glad she has you to help her,
Fen, I guess your keeping busy. How's the job search going?
Mama hope the job is going ok.
Rusty, your walk sounds lovely! I walked today too, but it was raining.
So my son has been interviewing for jobs as he will be graduating in May, he got his first offer yesterday and it's a pretty good one. So proud of my baby boy.

[NoraC]

Fen - I sent you a link. I hope it works. I know you don't do FB and I didn't know how else to get it to you.

Liz - you are right about 1/4 of the pill. Mom is still out! It's 6 hours later. I have gone in several times but she is sound asleep. I didn't want to get her up because she was very unsteady on her feet when she went to bed. I'm going to break it 1/4 or smaller.

Nana is very sensitive to those meds, too Nora. But I am so thankful she has Xanax, b/c when her anxiety kicks in she is a wreck.
I tried Prozac, Zoloft, Effexor and finally settled on Paxil, Pauly.
My three properties need some TLC. Office are cluttered and messy. Carpets need to be cleaned and everything needs to be freshened up. All the managers were very nice....of course....I am their new boss.....so I have no drama, YET!
I rode with a Regional Maintenance man, Rex. He's about my age and very good at what he does, but he chattered all day and I was so ready to get away from him. He is smart, but a bit of a crybaby, and by the end of the day, he was telling me which managers he disliked and why. I think I am his boss, but I really don't know.
I texted the guy, Mike, that hired me and told him the troops were asking about having the day after Thanksgiving off, and he told me it was up to me. WHAT????
I told them anyone that was 95% full could be closed....that's what I have been allowed to do in the past. I was stunned, but it's pretty apparent I am on my own. WAY different than being under the BITCH's thumb. I think it's going to be a good thing.
Gotta run....

[Dottie Belle]

Morning all,
Been super busy with committee things and a personal life too.
Weather is cold and all the leaves are about gone. I really dont like this time of year and the time change makes it even worse. But cant change it
Off to the gym then will see Jon later and a meeting tonight.
Missed you all and will try to catch up.

Hey all,Mama,give 'em the day after Thanksgiving off,hubs had to work it last year,sit around all day then off Sat and Sun,it was dumb,this year they're giving that day off,gosh all of this anxiety in the air!! Kell is actually triggering my anxiety cuz its so hard to stand by helpless and watch her!! I had to go over and watch Lou cuz she was having an attack,I told her to go to the doc and be honest about everything, her hormones are out if whack,cold turkeyed pain meds for her arthritic back,etc,dangerous thinking on my part cuz last night when she was upset I almost said to drink a beer or two,WTF??!!! I certainly don't want that for her or me,it just popped in my head,damn,Liz,I absolutely love Lucy's p.js does she keep them on? Nora,I wish a benzo would knock me out like your mom haha,go easy with them,she's not used to it,Hey Fen,what's up today? I've gotta fix my hair ,hello to all,back later
