Mama,glad you enjoyed date night Nora is waaay ahead of me,she's kicken ass and taking names

Thank you Pauly. :hug: The truth is that your determination in the last year helped me so much. That is what got me trying again and that is what keeps me going. Thank you.

Fen - I sure hope you feel better. Sorry that you have to play those games at work. that was scary about the dementia patient almost getting out. I'll bet your immune system was run down by all the stress. That is a huge adjustment to start a new job and I didn't realize that you had a long commute.

Mama - glad you had a fun date night. How great that you had fun dancing. :spin:

Liz - isn't if fun to just laugh like that? It is such a great stress reliever.

Techie - glad that your Mom is beginning to accept the move. It will be so much better for her to be close to you. I know I feel so much better having Mom here.

Rusty - Thanks for your lovely posts. I always enjoy them. Where are you going to be this week?

Ne - I don't think that hubby & I argue very productively sometimes. We don't argue very often - but, I have a tendency to just close up & hold it all in. And other times I am passive aggressive. Really great to have you here - I hope that you post and not just lurk.

Pauly - I had to laugh about your storm watch post. Sounds like when it's going to rain here. We have had rain today with a lot of wind though.

Well - we just started watching Inside Out so I've got to run. I've been wanting to see this.

It's the original X Files Fenny
Techie - glad your mom is coming around..
Fenny - try Flonase.....My sinuses were bleeding too.
Lizz- I have had other friends go through church based seminars....my lake house buddy teaches them.
Pot roast and cookies??? What tine do I need to be there:happy2:
I am glad you are progressing with your book about you Mom and Dad.
Rusty - where are you this week?
My MIL was on my last nerve last night, but I thought of all of you here and some of the tough choices you are having to make, and I felt guilty.
Pauly - hope Louie enjoyed the rain.
Skwerly- I would post the picture if the skwerl if I knew how.
Off to convince some people to pay their rent......
Love and hugs to all
ps....I am planning a surprise birthday party for hubs!!! He needs some happiness about now.

A party for hubs. Sounds like fun! You are sounding very chipper this morning mama! have fun at work.
I ended up having today off anyway. My coworker Ann rearranged her parents doctors appts. Her dad cannot walk and requires a wheelchair accessible van to leave the house. They have to rent one whenever he has a drs. Appt. Off to food shop and such.
Happy monday:love:

Hi all, it was Dec. 21 Nora, I was on my way to the airport to spend Xmas with Vivian, spun out on some ice and spun until the barrier stopped me. Got home Christmas Eve it was a lonely, painful Christmas. I wish the pain meds were more effective. It's been almost 6 weeks and I would expect relief from natural healing by now. I really wonder if walking Peggy is such a good idea. Using the toilet is like going to the torture chamber.

Be well everyone.

[NoraC]

SK - So sorry that you had another accident. I would have thought you would be feeling better by now. I'm so sorry. I wish that you could live near your daughter.

Ne - Glad to see you here. Hubby is the yeller. I'm just quiet. I have a hard time expressing myself when I am upset. I don't hold a grudge and don't do the silent treatment. But, then I'll try to get my point out and I do it in a weird, sarcastic way. I know that's an issue with me and I'm trying to be better at communication.

Fen - I hope you are feeling better.

Liz - enjoy your day off.

Mama - you sound wonderful!

I'm at work and need to scoot. Pauly - Rusty and all the dear people that post or just read here........HAPPY FEBRUARY 1!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Rusty]

Hi Everyone,

SKendall, it can really take many weeks for the severity of that sort of pain to wane a bit. I'm really sorry. :sad:

[mama bear]

SK- Oh my goodness!! I am so sorry that you are alone. I hate that.
Lizz-I am feeling chipper, but my brain is fried at the end of the day. It's so nice to be appreciated and respected and have a lot of fun!
Nora- hubs and I are both yellers.......uh oh...........but then it's over in 5 minutes.....usually....
Ok...back to work for the moment.....my email is blowing up.....I m working on site in the hood today!
