    Re: One Step at a Time - April 2018

    Liz - come to think of it, I can't imagine that my little sweetie would spend much time in the playpen. LOL Have a good time tomorrow. Nice of your mom to make a birthday dinner.

    Bird - how are you doing?

    Pauly - I didn't see your check in this morning and I was looking for it.

    Rusty - are you stuck there for a few days until the snow clears?

      Nora - I don't think you're nagging at all! I very much appreciate your concern and any advice anyone can provide. A lot of the medication or even supplements that are available in other countries are not approved in Oz- we seem to be a lot tougher than many places, so maybe there's something that could help, but I don't know. Anyway, for now I'll just take the cute sheep and try to focus on them when I'm trying to relax.

        Hi all,
        Glassie, I hear you on the side effects. I can't take most of the asthma meds that they prescribe, the side effects are so bad. It seems a bit better since I changed up my diet though. i'll give it some more time......Nora, glad Molly is doing better. It is hard when our pets are sick......Lizann, that was nice of your Mom to make dinner. Hope the car show is fun and ds is having good luck on the caffeine withdrawal......so the cats are going crazy running up and down the hall. So much fun to watch! I have only been to work 1/2 day this week. I was going to go in today but am still sitting here and know I will not go or answer the phone. I am going out to the park and walk until I am very tired of walking. It feels good. I have been doing some packing, and got a little sad yesterday remembering all that has happened in this little place, been living here for 15 years. It is really falling apart though, as my landlord doesn't keep thing up very well..also ther are some things I have planted in the yard that I will miss, and all of our pets that have passed on in our little pet cemetary....well, off to get started on my day...have a wonderful af day!...b

          Glassie - I was wondering about your laws and marijuana, cbd, etc. Insomnia is such a horrible thing. I'll keep looking for the magic answer.

          Bird - I know what you mean about your little pet cemetary. That's the way it is here too. Did you have a good walk today?

          Nothing much happening here. I'll try to liven things up for tomorrow.

            Nope - no marijuana allowed here, even medicinally. (Actually I should modify that by saying I'm not entirely sure what the laws are, but I think you can get away with having a small amount, but it's illegal to sell it) However, if you're the one in a thousand that doesn't drink alcohol you're practically an outcast. Go figure!

            We can't get Ambien, or supplements like melatonin, or codeine. Just wine, wine and more wine - and LOTS of beer!

              Glassie - even my neurologist told me that the pot was ok but do not drink. But, alcohol is everywhere.

                On a positive note!!

                There's every chance I will be taken off this task force very soon (possibly as soon as Monday). Apparently I'm needed back where I belong, and they're recalling me. :heartbeat: Although it's been a rewarding experience, this has truly been the most shambolic, disorganised project I've ever worked on, and although someone new has now taken it on I've just lost any faith in it so I won't be sad to leave.

                  Hi all,
                  How is everyone? I am going to Colorado next month to visit my cousins and a couple of friends. I made the reservations this morning. I hate flying but it is only 3 hours, compared to 24 for driving so.....I spent most of my growing up there. Will be good to be home and I am taking my kids. Had kind of a blah day and didn't get out to the park or anywhere. Went to chat on WFS, so that was fun. Had a pizza to take a break from my diet today...

                    Re: One Step at a Time - April 2018

                    Hey guys. Busy couple of days.
                    Glassie, I think that's good news, right? It's nice to be missed. Maybe now that that stress is removed you'll be able to sleep a little better?
                    Bird when are you going to Colorado? I'm not really great flying either, but I'm getting better the older I get.
                    Had a lot of fun yesterday in NYC with hubby. Did a lot of walking, went to the car show, had dinner out. I was exhausted when we got home.
                    Today is hubby's birthday. He had a good day I think. He was worried about me drinking today. He's not usually a worrier. Mark found out this morning that he will be going to England for his next rotation. I have mixed feelings about it, but I didn't fall apart. I think I was more upset that he was so worried about me. I get it. I share with you guys, because I need to share and I know you'll understand. I know this is what Mark wants, and if he's happy, I'm happy. It's time to let him move on, he's certainly old enough. I'm lucky to have been blessed with three wonderful kids.
                    So that's what's new here. Hope you're all enjoying your Friday. What are everyone's plans for the weekend? I'm working tomorrow.

                        Oh Liz, I know what you're going through. It's really hard when they leave home, but that just means you've done it right!

                        My boys both left at the same time - one to another state and one to London, and it broke my heart. But I didn't tell them so. Instead I told them how excited I was for them, gave them both a copy of the Holstee Manifesto and vouchers for dinner and a theatre show in their new city (plus lots of $$$ of course), cheered loudly at the airport and then came home and bawled my eyes out.

                        EDIT: Plot twist - now they're both back, and live about 15 minutes away with my 2 daughters-in-law and a grandbabe! :welldone:

                          Good Morning!

                          Liz-I know you're going to miss Mark but what an exciting opportunity for a young person...and truly a positive move because I think London will look great on his resume.

                          Glassie-I wish you had the sleep meds in Oz as we do here. Delighted that you are off the task force.

                          [MENTION=2634]bird[/MENTION]-how fun that you are going to Colorado. You really like the WFS meetings, don't you? Tell us more! :-)

                          Nora-how are you doing?

                          Nails, pedicure, exercise, and a bit of paperwork today. What are your plans for today?

                          Happy Saturday, everyone!

                            Hi all,
                            Rain today. Will spend some time packing. Have been looking at many houses to buy online. It is about to drive me crazy, so I am going to stop looking at them for a bit. Really, I am not altogether sure where I want to live. I just know, that for now, I do not want to be too far from my kids. I can see by the posts it will be very tough when they move on. I had a hard time when dd2 left for college. It was kinda fun for a couple weeks but then it wasn't..........Liz, ah England. So far. He is happy though huh? Glad you had fun in NYC.......Rusty, that sound like a good day planned. And the reason I love wfs chat is it gives me a lot of great info to add to my toolbox. Some of the chat leaders post their notes after, and you can print them out or whatever. It also has kept me from drinking many many nights, knowing I had a meet I wanted to attend.....so about 6 weeks until my trip. Maybe I can shed a few more pounds by then.....b

                              Hi guys. Really been grumpy and down today. What's up with that? LOL Hubby finally just was like what is your problem. Ha, ha Talk about getting up on the wrong side of the bed.
                              I thought I posted this hours ago. LOL It has been that kind of day. Mom has been anxious for the past several hours so we just ended up giving her some lorazepam. We drug her out today because hubby had an eye exam and that didn't help matters.

                              I'm in a better mood than when I wrote that earlier. I think I'm just feeling a little overwhelmed so I'm glad it's the weekend. I crack myself up when I talk about being overwhelmed. Out of everyone here, I have it the easiest. You all have so much on your plates and are always balancing everything. So, thanks for letting me get whiny here.

                              I hope everyone is having a great weekend.

                                Hubby & I laugh about this all the time. This is exactly how it is when we take Mom somewhere. She reads all the signs to us. :rotlf:
