Re: One Step at a Time - June 2017

Happy Wednesday!!!

I hope that everyone has a wonderful AF Wednesday.

To continue on my theme of having alcohol in my face. There is a 4th of July block party on my street. My next door neighbor is going to have a margarita station. I laughed and grabbed my head and said OH NO - I stopped drinking too soon. I don't drink anymore. Big laugh. A few minutes later I mentioned something about I was the designated walker to walk people back home. Making it very clear that I don't drink. I am not in a good frame of mind to have a drink put in my hand. Of course, now I'm so stubborn that there is no way in the world I would drink it.

Techie-:welldone:closer to any of our homes...the women's bathroom of WAL-MART in any city, town or state....the epitome of slobbery and filth. So glad your sense of humor is in tact. Muah, muah, sweetheart!:hug:

I AGREE :rotlf:

Liz, what fantastic news, being a grandmother is a fabulous role. Congratulations! How are the new mom and dad doing.

Hello everyone. Sorry I didn't get back to you yesterday Apparently, my sacro iliac nerve is pinched. In about a week I will have a procedure under anaesthesia to have a pain block. I have to find out more deets but I think it's a 3 month thing. Then what happens? He gave me a pain med to take once a day even tho the effect is only 4 hours. Does the pain go away at noon FFS? The opiate abuse leaves valid pain sufferers in a bad way. I am going to tell the dr. this. His assistant saw me not my usual doc and it was disappointing.

I did go to the ER and all I got there was how most of them are unhappy in their jobs, an absolutely futile experience. Why is medical care so expensive in this country and we are treated poorly. I wanted to scream "I pay for this mediocre care, which pays for your jobs!"

I literally scream out when I make a wrong move. I've been very despondent lately. I don't know if it's yet more pain and immobility, or more ridiculous rules from Vivian's mom and dad. It's my b/day tomorrow and I do not want to celebrate it with them. I may not need to worry since I haven't been informed of an invite over.

Thank you all for your concern, that warms my heart.

Vivian and I started the fairy garden on the patio, lots of palms and ferns surround the realistic waterfall with an elephant looking on. We got some of the delivery Saturday. I bought a 12' strip of artificial moss and we have a mushroom house, paved walkways, bridges with crystals underneath, pigs, sheep and a chicken coop. The rest came on Tuesday and Vivian had called me and left a msg saying she needed to talk to me. I called back, left a msg on dad's phone, but she didn't return. I could only observe uncomfortably from a chair, but we had so much fun. She may want to think about being an architect!

She does bring me joy.

I hope you are still doing well, Techie.

Nora, you seem to really enjoy de-cluttering, you've been happy with all the activity. Maybe I should try it, I have a storage unit to be decluttered. Between the knee, back and nerve, I haven't been able to get to it.

We have had a week of 90's, plus humidity and unlike the other apt. that had valet trash removal, I have to drive to this one and then walk up a path, etc. Also UPS has left a couple of large pkgs containing a bed frame, chaise lounges, and another waterfall in the office and the office won't bring them to my door. UPS driver is a rascal and so I've had to hire someone to go over there tomorrow and bring them here until I can manage to unpack them.

Pauly, it's going to take a while, but you seem to be coping well
:hug:

Glassie, I hope you enjoyed your brief time away.

Mr. V. you are about to experience a wonderful time in B.C., etc. Please send me the deets. I am living in TX now for family, but I soooooo
misssssss the PNW. Have a great time.

I've been comforting myself with toffee ice cream and I need to stop, lol.

Love you all.

Well - since I'm such a thread killer, I'll say goodnight.

For a couple months at least I have been reading mindless mystery/action/sex novels. Nothing that makes me think. (Unless I'm thinking of a hot guy :rotlf So, I'm off to read.................nthego:

Re: One Step at a Time - June 2017

Spent the evening with Erin and Logan. Dan had a hockey game, I held that little guy most of the night and loved every minute if it. He was awake a lot more today! I can't even.
Had a huge disagreement with CJ. They are going to st Croix tomorrow for a week. He is going for an interview. I asked her not to go and concentrate on completing wedding preparations Wedding plans are pretty much on hold. She ordered half of the invites. They still have to finish the premarital class for the other ceremony. I told her today we will not make the final payment for the venue as they are just not making planning a priority. It got ugly, I cried CJ was crying, wedding is 3 months away and I'm done, I can push and prod no more, Hope your all doing ok.
