Hey guys. Quiet here tonight. Quiet here at home too. Just me and Lucy home and I'm enjoying my time alone watching netflix.
Nora you pictures on fb are so cute. Hope everyone had a good day.

[NoraC]

Hey, thanks, Pauly I will look for that midnight. Last night I read from about midnight to 3a. Alarm was for 6a. Feel pretty good and look forward to a fun day. Playing golf at a course have wanted to play since we moved to FL. And the best part is with great friends.

Hey all,TMH,it really is a good sleep aid,without lingering grogginess too,well hubs talked to his boss and they worked it out for now,still an unorganized place though I think the owner is just too easygoing,that's why I know I could never run a business, I'm too unorganized, don't like giving orders or making decisions in other words lazy haha,needs to rain here and clear the air, even one of my customers said he's having sinus headaches everyday,I am now just suffering through them cuz I don't wanna take Advil as much as I do everyday,hope we all have a terrific Tuesday

[mama bear]

Sk....good luck without the gaba....I worry about you. I never thought about trashing that man's life at Nora's job, but what you said makes sense. I wouldn't mind a wolf whistle now and then either!
Nora- you are being waaaaaaaayyyyy too quiet
Enjoy the golf TMH
Pauly - you crack me up...you could never be the boss coz you are lazy!!
Lizz - I am watching "Downton Abbey" on my Kindle and "Hell on Wheels" on Netflix with hubs.......
I am working peacefully from home. The older I get, the more reclusive I get. I like the quiet and alone time.

Sorry that I've been quiet. Lots going on around here is all. Plus, I cry all the time. :rotlf: I swear, I look at a post on Facebook and start crying. Last night we were watching the old Charlotte's Web cartoon. I cried. I know it's just withdrawals from the lexapro. I'm not depressed just teary. Maybe all those tears that I've held in over all these years were still in there. I think that I'm doing very well without the med but I still have people on alert around me watching to be sure.
Break is over so got to scram. Love you all so much & I am so grateful that you are in my life. :heartbeat:

[paulywogg]

We love you too Nora! Talk about a crybaby, I was watching an "Undercover boss" marathon and at the end when the bosses help the employees with money or whatever, I was BALLING! I told hubs this is making me so emotional it was embarasing haha

[Lizann]

Aww. Nora, sending hugs your way! We love you to pieces. Sometimes I wish I could cry. I feel better afterwards.
Pauly glad hubs got that straightened out at work, hope it just gets better from here.
Mama, I'm getting much more reclusive the older I get too. Really, it's fine with me.
Got called in early to work today. It was busy and I was alone, but the day flew. Went out to a little whole in the wall cafe by Dan and Erin's for dinner, dans father and brother were there too. It was a lovely evening, we probably have t seen them since the wedding. Anyway having trouble keeping my eyes open. Good night

[NoraC]

Hey all - not going to try to comment on everybody today. But, I did read your posts and it always, always makes my day to read them. I was just thinking a few days ago that you all probably know the "true inside" me more than anyone except hubby. (Sometimes you probably know more than him )

Just been having things going on around here. The kids were unhappy with each other for 2 days I think. I just stay out of it except offering broad advice. Pick your battles, open communication, trust, etc. I started writing out the whole details and it's not worth it. Bottom line is that they both have some issues to work on.
On a funny note though - and I am so sorry if I am repeating myself. I meant to tell you this yesterday........ok.......just to remind you, we have a very small 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom, 1 living room, 1 kitchen/dining room...........
I was in the bathroom yesterday morning and I heard their bedroom door open. So, I finished drying off and went and knocked on their door. They mumbled something at me and I opened the door a crack to ask if someone needed to get in the bathroom. He was sleeping with his head in the normal position and her head was at the foot of the bed. :highly_amused: It is so hard to have any privacy in this house much less to have a fight.
My nieces Grandmother is dying. So, things are hard for her. She is very close to her Grandmother and her Aunt and her Aunt's wife but they live back east and she can't be with them and it's so sad. Sadly, there is family drama on that side of the family. So, my niece's mother, her uncle, my other niece & nephew (her sister & brother) are all estranged from Grandma and the Aunts. So, there have been some problems. I am her shoulder during this as she tries to be strong for her aunts. My nieces husband is traveling on business so her other aunts called me tonight to make sure that I'd be able to get to her if she needs me. She's only about an hour and a half away. Today was her Grandma's birthday and they thought that she would let go after she made it to today.
Anyway, hubby & I are trying to set something up so we can get away for a couple of days soon. I think we both need a break. Son & dil will stay with Mom.

Hope that everyone has a wonderful evening, morning, afternoon wherever you may be.

[NoraC]

Liz - glad that you had a good evening. Sounds like a fun time.

Pauly - I'm glad I'm not the only one sobbing my eyes out. :sad: :rotlf:

[paulywogg]

Hey all, have a question, a coworker is having a housewarming party on Sunday, I know there will be booze cuz she parties a lot,my other co-workers will be going and we all used to party hard together, I don't want to go,first,I know she'll put pressure to drink on me,secondly,I don't feel like hanging with them anyways and if I did show up it would just be a quick,hello let me see the new house ok bye kinda deal and I think that is ruder than just not going, Whatcha all think? Just buy a nice gift and see the house some other time? Hope we all have a wonderful Wednesday

[mama bear]

I would send a gift, not go, and go another time if you do not think you are strong enough Pauly. Just my two cents worth.
I just finished "Downton Abbey" and bawled like a baby several times. It's a fabulous show and it's on Amazon Prime.
Watch the Lexapro withdrawals Nora, ok? Crying all the time spooks me. That's funny about Casey and his bride. And you and Scott sure deserve a getaway. Anymore talk about moving to Oregon?
Lizz - sounds like a nice evening with family.
I have conference calls all day, but at least I am at home in my Batman tee shirt!

[paulywogg]

Thanks Mama,that's what I was thinking too,Shit just working with a couple of them makes me want to drink just to put up with them at work haha, don't want to cut into family time to hang with them,have a good one

[NoraC]

I wouldn't go, Pauly. Make an excuse. Give a gift and that's it. Avoid a booze party atmosphere. That's what I say.

I'm on standby to drive down to San Diego to be there when her aunt calls to tell her that her Grandma passed. She is entering the last stages and now it's just waiting. :sad:

Mama - I love you doll. To be honest, the constant crying to beginning to be a pain in the ass! I think I'm doing ok but I realize my anxiety is getting worse. But, that could be from what is going on right now too. So, I'm watching it.

Have a great day everyone. I'm missing our peeps. Check in please.

[Rusty]

Hi Friends,

A quick check-in from work...I have a 2 1/2 hr. ride home this afternoon but I just wanted to pop in.

Pauly-don't go...just give a gift and your regrets. I agree with what Mama and Nora say.

Nora-I am sorry for all you are going through right now...wow, so much on your plate. Loved your story about finding the sleeping positions of the newlyweds.

Hi Mama, Liz, Skendall, Techie, aihfl and everyone else, Happy Hump Day.
