One Step at a Time April

[aihfl]

Happy Friday everyone!

Nora, thank you so much for asking how I'm doing. All things considered, I am doing ok. The feedback I've been getting from family and friends is to just go ahead and sign the damned amended settlement and be d-u-n done with it and that's what I'm going to do. We get along and do things together socially now and I don't want this to keep getting in the way. I just have to decide what to do next. I'm getting a big payday from the sale of my house in Vermont and I always assumed I'd buy a condo or small house here in Orlando but I'm not sure I want to stay here now. S - you had asked about my romantic interest here in Florida. I like her a lot, but we are not serious yet, so if I did make the decision to leave, it wouldn't be a big deal right now. But your advice is good about no major decisions yet. I will probably just stay put with my living arrangements for the time being. I know I don't want to stay, but I'm not chomping at the bit to leave, either. Anyway, the answer will become evident over time.

Hope everyone has a great day.

Happy POETS' Day, Everyone! I had this marathon post last night and then I couldn't log in...so frustrating...I forgot to highlight the text to copy it and I had addressed ALL of you.:sad::cuss:

Mama-um, wearing curlers in public...ixnay! Hahaha! You are still beautiful and I love ya!!!

Pauly-so sorry about your brother! Damn!

Aihfl-so glad AA is working for you and you could sell your house in Vermont.

I am at work and I don't have time to address everyone...sorry.

My MRI is scheduled for next Friday. I REALLY like my new pain-mgt. doctor...the one who is handling my neck. He is very nice and took a lot of time with me earlier this week. This weekend will be catching up on my work. I'm WAY behind because every day at home, I've had doctors' appts. or I've been on the phone with the insurance company. BIG MESS!

Love to all!

Hey all,Rusty,glad you like your pain management doc,hafta take Kell on May 3rd to get the nerves in her back cauterized,kinda scary cuz I guess the recovery is kinda long,was gonna take hubs to breakfast this morning but my blood sugar felt so low I couldn't wait to eat,hate that feeling! Hello to all and I hope we all have a great Friday

[SKendall]

Mama, sorry about the leak, is it fixed now? I had this thought of you in your curlers "girl's getting it done". Good job on your working so hard. Any thoughts about your relocation?

AG, thank you for the compliment. I never even think of AL as an option or give it a thought anymore and I'm very grateful for this. How are you managing without hubby?

Pauly, you crack me up! Sorry though for little bro.

Rusty, glad your pain mgmt. is effective. Missed my physio appt. yesterday because my ride didn't show. Then I dropped my phone on the sidewalk and it has no function except listening to voicemail. Peggy is still limping, but when I examine it there is no yelping and she seems quite happy walking, but won't put pressure on it.

Nora, thanks for caring.

Lizz, congratulations to Mark and his graduation s.c.l. Have a great trip, but I think you've already left, lol.

Glassy, after my foot surgery I preferred the boot to crutches. I didn't know this before but if you use a cane it has to be on the opposite side of the injury and maybe that's well known but not to me.

aihfl, you are sounding pretty good, any plans for the weekend?

Thanks for the support, I have stopped all communications with hubby, I gave him the Godfather line "every time I get out, you pull me back in". I know he lies to me and suddenly I've had enough. I woke up with anxiety this morning and wondered where it came from. Then, "oh yeah, my life sucks right now". It will get better, just exercising patience right now. I have plans for tomorrow then that's it. I need to go to Verizon and get a phone. Since I have no al in my life, I've managed to break problems down by time limits because I think "this won't be forever" is doable.

Have a good Friday.

Hey all,good call on ending contact Skendall,who needs that stress? What kind ofphone did you get? I want a galaxy edge7 but i'm too cheap haha,had a good day,hubs is on vacay(although I'm ready for him to go back to work!)we went on a taco crawl to a couple different spots,then I made him take me to my fave thrift shop (he hates it) came home and just relaxed,finished my book I was reading, just wanted to say thank you all for being here through thick and thin for me and each other, don't mean to sound sappy but in a way I just suddenly realized that we have a good thing going here,night all

[Glass Half Empty]

Glassie - I am so sorry. Hope you get back to normal right away!

Haha - thank you Nora - that is excellent and very kind of you. :heartbeat: Pretty good representation too, apart from the colour. Sorry you have to squint sideways to see it. boot.jpg

I'm about to read back and see how the rest of you are doing.

Been a while since i seen a bit of leg. :thumbsup:

[Glass Half Empty]

Pauly – you guys do have a good thing going. You know how many people here love you so please keep hanging in there.

Rusty – I’m glad you have confidence in your new pain management specialist

Sk – time limits and "this won't be forever" sound like great strategies.
Also, not sure what you meant about the boot versus crutches. I have both. I’m meant to put as little weight as possible on my foot, but when I do the boot stabilizes it to stop misplacement of the fracture.

And in much cheerier news....
We found out yesterday that my grandbaby, due in September, is a granddaughter. :heartbeat:

[Glass Half Empty]

Been a while since i seen a bit of leg. :thumbsup:

Ahhh, my darling Mr G.

It's no coincidence there's a G in the middle of incorriGible!

Good morning! Cloudy cool Saturday morning here.

Ne, I color and highlight my own hair all the time. It's easy and fast. The last time I did it I had a coupon for the color and a CVS coupon I ended up paying $1 for the color. Can't beat that. I don't know if you have a Harmon by you but they take their coupons (usually 20% off) plus manufactures coupons. I have two daughters and when I highlight I do their hair as well. Three for the price of one box of highlighter! Anyway the hardest part was trying to figure out what color to use.

Glassy, love the picture Nora posted of the boot! It had me laughing. Anyway, hope you're on the mend.

Skendall, hope Peggy is feeling better. Hopefully it's just a pulled muscle like Ne said. We worry about our fur babies.

I had a stupid drinking dream last night. It was so unnerving. I was hiding bottles and the fact I was drinking. It was so real and I woke up so upset. Just a dream, I need to carry on.
Anyway, Mark is under the weather. He has an infected stye on his eyelid. His eye is almost completely swollen shut. He had a fever last night too. He went to the doctor and got antibiotics. I am not happy he's not feeling well, but I must admit, I love pampering and taking care of him. Takes me back to when they were little. He needs his mommy.

AG, I feel like you. Hubby is away all this weekend at a seminar. I have absolutely no desire to drink and for that I'm grateful.

Rusty, Nora, Pauly, mama, and everyone else hope you're all doing.

Off to get my tush on that darn treadmill. Happy sober Saturday guys!

[Lizann]

Glassy, congrats on the grandbaby! I am so excited for you. A little girl, sugar and spice and everything nice:heartbeat:

[SKendall]

Thanks for the post, Ne. I heard and almost broke out into song, "ding dong, the witch is dead". That post to Kuya was very vile and 3 people reported him.

[Lizann]

Me, I think we crossed posted. Really, he got banned? How do you know for sure?

[paulywogg]

Hey all,yeah he's been banned but he'll be back,his ego won't let him stay away,I didn't read what he wrote cuz it was gone before I was awake,musta been rough though,Liz,sorry about your sons eye,those styes are awful!my brother had one leave a scar,raining cats and dogs here,think I'll have hubs drive me to work,I ain't driving in this shit! Much love to ALL,hope we all have a great Saturday

[aihfl]

Can I pull everyone away from dancing on SF's grave long enough to point out he is far from the only objectionable poster here?
