Thank you, thank you!!! You all are just mean so much to me. :hug:

[NoraC]

So - what is everybody up to today?

Rusty & SK - I have been thinking about you both so much. Hubby has been having such bad pain for so long now. In the last couple of years, he has managed to break the cycle after a few weeks. But, this time it is hanging on. I hope that you both can get some relief. :heart:

Glassie - I'm sure you are so tired of being in your cast too. Hope you heal soon! Thank you so much for your lovely comments. I absolutely adore you and love it when you post. Another wise soul.

AG - I have been wondering how your visit was going with your foreign exchange teacher. Hope you are having a good time. We miss you around here.

Liz - speaking of missing. I really miss you too. I hope that you are having a wonderful vacation.

Pauly & Rusty - I went to the Dollar Tree today.

Mama - sending you positive thoughts. :hug: I'm so sorry for everything you are going thru. Hang in there sweetie.

NS - Thank you for always being so sweet & supportive. You are such a positive influence here. Thank you.

Techie - oh my goodness - I am so sorry to hear about your friends son. It is so tragic. We are hearing these stories too much.

Sam - Thank you for dropping by. It's always so great to see you.

Dear Nora-I am nearly pain-free thanks to the Gabapentin. I just have numbness in my left (writing) hand.

Skendall-Please let us know how you are doing. I miss you!

Aihfl-I hope you are well.

Mama-shouting out to let you know I love you and I am thinking of you!

Glassy-:heartbeat:

NS-Great to see you here!!!

Off to bed everyone. Night Night!!

[NoraC]

Have a wonderful, restful sleep. Here's the sleep fairy to visit you.........:fairy:

Good morning, afternoon, evening to one and all.

What is everyone up to today? I plan on doing NOTHING. Well, nothing does include dishes, laundry, bills, paperwork, etc. But, it does mean that I'll be in jammies all day.

I hope that everyone has a FANTASTIC day. :sendflowers:

[NoraC]

aihfl - CONGRATULATIONS ON 60 DAYS. That is huge. :goodjob:

[NoraC]

Hope that everyone has been having a wonderful, relaxing weekend. Things have been quiet around here. I hope that means everyone has been out & about enjoying.:heartbeat:

Good morning! I am back and wide awake, thanks to jet lag. Our trip was amazing! I saw and learned a lot. Got within a few hundred miles of where my parents were born, went to the town where my father in law was born. It's really a beautiful country with such a sad history. Anyway our tour group was a really nice fun bunch. There was one night of traditional polish food and entertainment and I did have a couple of glasses of wine. Mark had a close eye on me and I was not about to spoil anything for him.

I have not read back, but I will. I hope you are all doing ok.
Nora, really, has it been 300 days? That's fantastic and yes you are doing it! So proud of you.

Off to start my huge piles of laundry and unpacking. I really got used to not cooking and being waited on. But back to real life. Maybe I'll try to post a picture or two if I can figure out how to transfer to my iPad.

I have missed you all:love:

[Glass Half Empty]

Welcome back Liz.
I'm so glad you had a good time. It sounds like a wonderful experience. I'd love to see some photos.

[Rusty]

Good Morning, Friends!

I am about to leave for a 7-hr. Drive to Minnesota today so I will not be posting much. I have to put in two 10-hr. days on site so I will be busy.

Liz-welcome back! I am so glad you had a wonderful experience and saw some family history. We missed you!!!

I was worried about Mama B. so I texted her. She is fine but is going through a rough patch with everything going on in her life. She is an extremely strong person and she will handle it. Miss you and love you, sweetheart. Please take good care of yourself. If I could fly to FL right now to help you, I would!!:heartbeat:

Glassy-how is your foot feeling and when do you get take off your boot?

Nora-I loved your posts on the Nora's Journey Thread. Really inspirational.

Hello to everyone else...gotta run.

Have a great Monday, everyone!

[mama bear]

I am here. Thanks for the texts and concern. Last week was a long week work wise ( I have to audit every file at every property once a month) and I would just come home and flop. I am not drinking, except for date night.
Techie, I am sorry about your friend's death. The loss of a young person is so tragic.
We had dinner with Nana last night. She was very crabby and fussed at me for getting up to start the dish washing too soon. I guess I was to sit and chat for a bit, but all we are talking about is the accident and I heard it about 57 million times, so I started washing dishes.
Nora - I am so proud of you, my love and I LOVE the tat!! How is your sweet Mom? I am glad you are taking some time for yourself.
Hugs to all......I promise to be more present this week.

[Lizann]

Hmm, very quiet here. Hope everyone is doing ok. I did manage to finish all the laundry and some of the mail. Back to work for me tomorrow . Fighting to stay awake, this jet lag is kicking my butt. Off to bed. Have a good night

[NoraC]

Liz - welcome home!!! You have been missed! :yay: Can't wait to hear more about your trip. How amazing to be in the area your parents are from and in the town that your FIL is from. Please - post pics.

Mama - thank you for checking in. You have so much going on - just know you are loved. Remember to take care of you. Are they still saying for Nana to get assets out of her name? She hasn't been charged with anything has she?

Rusty - my goodness. What LONG days you are having this week. Are you having a long weekend?

AG - how are you? Check in when you can.

Pauly, Glassie, Techie, Red, NS and all my other partners in crime , hope you're having a wonderful day/evening.

[NoraC]

Liz - I was wondering how you were doing with the jet lag. Good that you stayed up. Must be almost bed time isn't it? You did all the laundry?!? Gee whiz. You are wonder woman.

SK - how are you doing?
