One Step at a Time - September 2017

Re: One Step at a Time - September 2017

Hi Everyone!:happy2:

Quick check-in for me...working in Wisconsin this week but I have to drive to my hotel...2 hrs. away...this afternoon.

Nora:hug:Your story about your husband washing your hair absolutely cracked me up! LOL. I am glad you could find humor in your skin cancer removal procedure. I hope the docs don't find any more spots. GOOD FOR YOU for heading off the drinking thoughts at the baby shower. Wow, that's goofy about the Mom-To-Be. The invitation said 11:00 and she wasn't even there by 1:00 PM? GEEZ. The nerve of the MIL to say your DIL was not hanging the streamers correctly. GRRR! The dinner with my mom was great...one of her dear friends caught these fish and made little filets of them, and honestly, they ended up looking like little, um, male organs. My mom and I about died laughing.

Liz-CJ's bachelorette party sounds like it was a blast! Hope you are able to relax today.:hug:
[MENTION=15072]ToMyHealth[/MENTION]-I am so relieved you survived Irma and came out unscathed. How kind of you to help people out.:hug: Hope your golf game went well.

Glassie-that is so cool that you and Rags will be able to connect.

Big hellos to [MENTION=9531]catch22[/MENTION], [MENTION=17650]paulywogg[/MENTION], [MENTION=17632]Mr Vervill[/MENTION], [MENTION=21602]abcowboy[/MENTION], [MENTION=11089]techie[/MENTION], [MENTION=2634]bird[/MENTION], and anyone I missed...happy AF Sunday!

Rusty - Made me laugh about the fish. Are the colors changing yet? That would be a beautiful drive. I don't get to see it often and when I do, it's glorious.

Hi all.
Nora, that is odd about the baby shower. The mom to be never showed up? What's up with that. Did anyone give a reason why? Was it planned to be that way. I'm sorry about the nose and hand. I think scarring is more likey the older we are, things just don't heal like they used to. I'm glad that it wasn't any worse and of course there's always makeup.

Rusty, have a great work week. I did see the pic on fb and I was crying too! So your hotel is two hours away from home or from the job? Do you ever tire of eating out? Sometimes I think it would be fun not to cook all the time, but then again maybe not.

Today we got things together to take to the venue tomorrow. Table numbers, favors, champagne flutes etc. then we went to church and put all the pew bows on already and set up the candles and just moved things around the way we wanted them. A lot of running around but we accomplished a lot. Can't believe it's so close. Joe wants to start packing this week! Really? He said everything is done, NOT! Tomorrow we go to the venue, drop off all their stuff and tie up loose ends. I will make sure they know, no al for me.

Waves to everyone. Wishing us all a quiet AF night!

Re: One Step at a Time - September 2017

Hey Liz - lots of last minute stuff, I'm sure. Had to laugh at Joe saying everything is done. Very smart thinking to tell them ahead of the time not to serve you alcohol. One of my nightmares is having a glass of something shoved in my hand and me taking a drink. I know - weird nightmare but I've had it several times. I am getting so excited for you all. :heartbeat:

Nora – you never whine, darling. I’m sorry about your scars, but here in Queensland you’d fit right in! I think we’re now the skin cancer capital of the world. Here's a Tshirt you can wear next time you get too over-peopled.

Rusty I’m so glad you have such a wonderful relationship with your mom. It’s great that you can still laugh together and enjoy each other’s company.

Liz – this is getting very exciting. I’m sure the wedding will be wonderful.

TMH – the effects of the recent disaster must be so devastating, but it is encouraging to see how it brings out the best in people.

Re: One Step at a Time - September 2017

Glassie - HI!!!! I have been thinking about you. And I must get that t-shirt.

I called in sick today. I'm playing hooky and I don't think I've done that since I stopped drinking. I guess it's not really hooky since my back is hurting and I don't feel well. But, I normally force myself to go in anyway. I am now officially releasing the guilt. Ok - I am trying to release the guilt. It's still clinging to me. Story of my life - I can't be sneaky because I feel guilty. :rotlf:

Re: One Step at a Time - September 2017

Nora - you obviously need the time off. Tell them Dr Glassie prescribed a mental health day.

I'm off again too. I'm still no better and I have to have CT scan tomorrow as well as some other tests and see a respiratory specialist. The only reason I'm still up after midnight is that I've taken "night time" cold and flu tablets which are supposed to make me drowsy but of course with my weird metabolism they just make me want to party!

[NoraC]

Re: One Step at a Time - September 2017

Glassie - I am so sorry. I wish they would figure out what you need to feel better. Has it been 2 months now? :hug: :hug: I am so glad that you are seeing a respiratory specialist tomorrow though. Plus, running more tests. I am so worried about you. You are in my thoughts constantly.
Good luck with those meds. That is the way my Mom got when she took Benadryl. Wired!

Re: One Step at a Time - September 2017

Slow moving Monday here. Not sure why.
Liz, great idea for bachelorette party. Naples, FL got hit extra hard. Gal from MN just went back to her Naples home after being in Orlando for 11 days. She still does not have power but posted she saw Excel Energy trucks. Excel is from MN.

Nora, odd shower for sure. Glad you had good time with kids!

Rusty, why is your hotel 2 hrs away? Know you travel a lot. What do you do?

Sermon yest was "Is this an Act of God"? No. The first responders, linemen, people helping are.

Guy told fllg story: Couple w/2 small children live across the street. Their 1st home and both wait tables. She called FPL as to why they did not have power back on. Turns out FPL services own poles but she has a connecting pole & it would cost her $800. So this guy started collection in neighborhood. In meantime she went to work - Chile's. Of course, everyone sharing hurricane stories and she told one of her customers about her dilemma. He left her a tip of $1,000!

Ok, need to get my butt moving. Have a great day!

Re: One Step at a Time - September 2017

Rusty - you just had to drive 2 hours yesterday from home to the hotel. Your daily commute will be a few minutes. Right?

[NoraC]

Re: One Step at a Time - September 2017

TMH - Loved the story. I truly believe that the majority of people are caring, loving humans. :heartbeat:

Re: One Step at a Time - September 2017

Hi All,
Catching up reading through post,
NoraC , made me laugh when you was saying about your husband washing your hair, hope he didn't get no shampoo in your eyes.
ToMyHealth, it good to read your post. That the community gets together and help out. How rewarding it is to help out other people TMH.
Lizann, it good to hear you accomplished a lot.
Rusty sound like you do a lot of traveling 2hours from the hotel to work is quite far, how long does it take you to get to work ?
Glassie, hope your CT scan come out clear. Will be thinking of you.
Today went to college to do computerised account something extra that I need to know if am going to carrying on to do level2 in bookkeeping. Glad I got that over with today. I booked tickets to go and see Darren Brown can't wait , & also to see Ballet Black. Thats all from me.

Hope everyone is alright and keep safe ♡

Re: One Step at a Time - September 2017

Good Morning, Friends!

I am rushed today as my laptop mouse died and I had to get a new one...missing out on my work out this morning and pissed off because this laptop is only about 8 months old!

Glassie:hug:I feel so badly for you...this must be interfering with your Ph.D. timeline! I hope the docs can reach a solution soon. I LOVED the T-shirt you "got" Nora. LOL. It was perfect!:heartbeat:

Nora-I am glad you played hooky yesterday. Everyone needs a mental health day once in a while.
[MENTION=9531]catch22[/MENTION]-I probably didn't explain myself well. I am working 2 1/2 hours away from home, so I drove the 2 1/2 hrs. on Sunday to stay at a hotel that was close to yesterday's client. Now I am meeting with another client today and tomorrow, and now I am 3 1/2 hrs. away from home. It's all good, though. Sounds like you will have a ton of fun with your upcoming concerts. Good for you!
[MENTION=19302]Lizann[/MENTION], I miss you and I am thinking of you. I am sure you are bustling about with the last-minute wedding details and pulling your hair out. Can't wait to see the pics. :-)

Big hellos to everyone else!

[Lizann]

Re: One Step at a Time - September 2017

Hey guys!
Nora, you deserve a day off. I hope you were able to rest and feel better.

Rusty, I think I would love the traveling part of your job. I'm sure it gets old but to me it sounds wonderful.

TMH, what a great story. It's nice that folks were able to help out.

A little worried now about St Croix and the kids house. Is it me or is this a bad hurricane season. Went to the television taping of The Chew today with my sister and Erin. Hubby stayed home with Logan. I think he probably had more fun with the baby then we did in the city! He's such a good little guy. Anyway It was nice to be with the girls today.
Wishing us all a quiet restful AF night.

Re: One Step at a Time - September 2017

good night. Catch everyone tomorrow.
Glassie - how did the appointments go?
