One Step at a Time - May 2018

Re: One Step at a Time - May 2018

Happy hump day! Worked so late tonight. We had close to thirty patients today! We managed to keep chaos at bay and just kept moving along. To tell the truth sometimes I enjoy the challenge.
Yesterday went well, thanks for asking. mom go her license renewed and she was relieved. Dad was really pretty ok yesterday. Hubby's exam went well as far as we know. His blood pressure was high, but he was so upset about getting blood work done. He really can't stand the sight of his own blood. Funny, he doesn't blink an eye with me or the kids, but himself he gets all pale and nervous.
Tomorrow sissy and I are going to a spa. Our kids got us gift certificates for our birthday in October and we are just using them now. We wanted to make sure we could use the infinity pool! Looking forward to a day of pampering.
FaceTime with CJ yesterday. She posted a video of some of the work/progress they are making on the house. She really has turned into such a little homemaker. Proud of my little girl.
Rusty, how nice you've got some time off. What are you planning to do?
Nora, I'm sure the blanket is lovely. Did you tell us what color it is? Have they done anything with the nursery yet? How is your sons job going? I know he was unhappy.
Bird, hope your doing ok and not working to hard on cleaning out.
Hope you all have a wonderful AF night!

Have a fun time, Liz! Sounds great.
The blanket is pink. I'll post a pic of my progress tomorrow.
Hubby is once again letting me go lay down & read. He's going to stay up for another little bit with Mom. He is wonderful.

Hi all,
Boy it has been crazy here and so off my routine. Dealing with selling my friends cars he left me. 2 old cars, we tried to clean them up to keep but they were very dirty and smelly so..ended up selling one and will keep the other just for moving since its a truck, then sell it...took the kids to a car dealership yest and bought them each a good used car. We will pick them up this afternoon. Was late before we got home, and so tired. This morn, hauling stuff to the landfill. Can't wait to get all this stuff finished and move on from here. ...Pauly, my Mom and I do not know each other well. She is my biological mom, I was adopted. She doesn't talk much, and I don't talk much so it is all very awkward. She lives in Alaska, Nora got that right. Sorry about the drinking dream. It is always a relief to awaken sober isn't it?....Lizann, the spa sounds wonderful! Hope you have a good time!....Nora, do post pics of the blanket. We all want to see....Rusty have a nice day off...well, the birds are tweeting so that means the sun will be peeking out soon. Gonna be a scorcher. Glad for the birds though. They are the best part of S. Georgia. They keep me sane:happy2:

Re: One Step at a Time - May 2018

Good Evening, Friends!

I accomplished SO much business work on my day at home. It went so fast! I love days like these where I complete all the tasks on my to-do list!:yay:

Nora-I LOVE pink baby blankets and I am sure it will be adorable. Please post a pic! How sweet of hubs to let you lie down and read while he took care of your mom. He sounds like a gem.:love:

Liz-I hope you and your sister enjoyed your spa day. You certainly deserved it.:love:

Bird-sounds like you accomplished a lot yesterday...WOW! Good for you...how kind of you to get each of the kids a vehicle. I am sorry it was awkward with your mom. Were/are you close to your adoptive mother?

Pauly-drinking dreams can be so unsettling. What are you going to make with your new yarn?

Glassie-I am sure your kids are grateful that you encouraged them to be so adventurous. It sounds like they live very fun and fulfilling lives. :heartbeat:

Re: One Step at a Time - May 2018

Back home from the spa. What a fun day of pampering! So many different saunas and hot baths to use, there is an infinity pool overlooking the NYC skyline, had an amazing pedicure and lunch. I came home feeling very "zen". I told this to hubby and his response was "zen take out the garbage", lol!
Sissy accidentally shoved my home into one of the pools. No biggy. I have insurance and the new one should come tomorrow.
I promise I'll comment more tomorrow, I'm just so tired. Have a great restful night

[Lizann]

Re: One Step at a Time - May 2018

Haha, Pauly, I did mean phone! Awaiting the arrival of my new one! You and my hubby both love the 99 cent store!
Yes Nora, you have been a little quiet. Is everything OK?
Rusty, I love checking things off my to do list, very gratifying.
Bird and glassie what's up by you guys?
Trying to catch up on everything I didn't do yesterday, cleaning, laundry and such. Took the baby out for a walk and stayed awake the whole time. I put him in his crib when we got home and he fell asleep. That's gonna make lunch for him late, ugh. Erin's pretty laid back about stuff, why am I so anal about keeping him on a schedule? I need to relax! So Mark suggested me him and hubby go out for dinner tonight! He still wants to hang out with us. Nothing fancy just Applebee's or the local diner.
I hope you all have a great AF Friday!

This is 8 p.m. now and I'm dog tired..then get home and she wants me to cook them and she will cook mac and cheese...says I, just put water in a pot and boil it..you have to anyway for the mac and cheese...she says she doesnt have the energy to...says I..well you need to get on disability if you cant even put water in a pot. She said she might try to and went to bed....theres more, but you get the picture...so Pauly, do you have some finicky fish? hehe.....Rusty, glad you got your list done. I know that feels goodd...Lizann, sorry your home fell in the water:congratulatory:..glad it was only your phone...Nora, that is nice weather...well off to the clean up...

Re: One Step at a Time - May 2018

Happy Saturday,back after work

[Rusty]

Re: One Step at a Time - May 2018

Doing some work here before I leave for MN on Sunday!

I hope everyone is having a restful/productive/peaceful Saturday!

Liz-so glad you were able to replace your home that landed in the pool! LOL. Hope you had fun at dinner with hubs and son last night. How is your dad?
[MENTION=2634]bird[/MENTION]-where do you get all your energy? WOW...you busy bee!

Break time is over...back to work. Back later!

[NoraC]

Re: One Step at a Time - May 2018

Hello everyone. We've got sprinkles today. Strange weather here. At least weather.com is working correctly now. It's now skipping the rest of the weekend.

How long are you going to be in MN, Rusty? I hope you have a good trip.

Pauly - hubby & I snuck out while Mom was still in bed and made it to the 99 cent store. Of course, I found some bath mats shaped as fish that I had to have for the baby shower. Thought they would be cute decorations. LOL Stupid idea.

Bird - I've been thinking about your daughter. I'm sorry. Do you think it's depression? I know that there is chronic fatigue syndrome. I'm glad you were able to get them cars. After my sons accidents & DUI, the insurance was thru the roof. After his second DUI, they cancelled him.

Liz - I'm so glad you had a good day with your sister. :hug:

Glassie - you have been in my mind for some reason. Must mean that I owe you an e-mail. LOL

Techie - my darling - sending happy thoughts to you.

Well, I need to decide what to do. Get up and get some work done or crochet or read my book. So many decisions. Ha, ha

Re: One Step at a Time - May 2018

Just had a random memory. Many, many years ago there was a person at work that had TB. Everyone at work needed to get tested. Had to bring in the county medical, etc. Turned out that a couple of people tested positive and needed the treatment. One of the questions on the form was 'Do you drink daily?' I can remember even all those years ago worrying about that question and also worrying if I needed the treatment and wouldn't be able to drink.
Wow! Isn't that sad :sad: What a waste. I never want alcohol in my life again.
