One Step at a Time - April 2019

Re: One Step at a Time - April 2019

Rusty, it's so not like you to be upset, but definitely you have reason to be. I'm glad you're venting here. I would think there are cameras around, but if it's an employee, I'm thinking they may keep it quiet so as not to upset the entire facility? Just a thought. I know when my dad was in the rehab facility his brand new gym pants and a couple of shirts went missing. Turns out they were in his roommates dresser drawer. How they got there is a mystery? His roommate was not mobile, so did the staff accidently put them in the wrong place, or did they show up after we complained. Sadly a lot of that stuff happens. I've heard of tramadol, but know nothing about it. Is it a drug that an addict would want? How was your dinner party. What did you serve?
Nora, hope mom gets less anxious. That must be heart breaking to watch. Is there anything you can do for that?
Pauly, hope you're feeling better. That picture of Romeo was just so cute!
BIrd, I hope the eczema Meds help and that's what it is. I know these skin things are hard to diagnose. Could it be poison ivy or oak? Have fun at the lake.
We had another fun day. Sculpture gardens was too crowded and they were only letting in people who had previously purchased tickets, so plan b was the tulip festival. It was a little warm, but we had a good time. Logan's gonna sleep good tonight. He just ran around. We met Dan for dinner as he works close by. It was a lovely day. Sadly Mark is leaving early tomorrow morning. It was so nice having him home. We will be going to London next month to see him and then he'll be home in probably June or July.

Re: One Step at a Time - April 2019

Hi all,
I'm so done with this rash. The stuff he gave me doesn't do much and the pills put me to sleep and then had kind of a hangover feeling all day. I will keep eating really clean, idk what else to do. So I am not going to AK, I sent my mom a letter.......dd1 has an interview for an internship in Fla Friday. Hope she gets this one, it is in a town I used to live in....the pool was full of frog eggs this morning, I dipped them out as best I could and put them in the little fish pool.......Liz, the tulip fest was very pretty. Glad you get to go to London, that sounds fun...hope everyone is having a good Wednesday....

Re: One Step at a Time - April 2019

Bird, darn it, what's up with that rash? I know how hard these things can be to diagnose. Did you look it up the Internet? Maybe you did see a dermatologist already, I don't remember.
Mark made it back across the pond safely and is back home. I miss him already, but am happy we'll see him soon. Worked a long day today, billings. It's fine actually cause the day flew, it was so busy. I really do enjoy this job! Erin and I will go shopping at the outlets up in NY! About an hour away. It's a fun all day kinda thing. Her husband will be away for a few days around the weekend, so she may sleep over depending on when he comes home. Busy, busy and I love it.
Rusty, Pauly, Nora Glassie hope you had/are having a great Wednesday. I forget sometimes that I am a few time zones ahead.

Re: One Step at a Time - April 2019

Hi everyone.
Pauly - so the boys had a good visit from the Easter bunny? ha, ha
Glad that Mark is back home safe & sound but I'm sure you miss him.So glad that you had a good time out Liz.
Bird, do you feel better now that you decided not to go? Maybe your rash will go away now that you're not stressed! Fingers crossed for dd1. I hope she gets it.
Rusty - how did your dinner party go? I'm sure wonderful.
Glassie - I am so sorry that you are so ill. I hope that you do start feeling better soon.

:checkin: to all who pass by............

Re: One Step at a Time - April 2019

Hi all, how's everyone's Thursday? Bird, Maybe Nora is right and this rash is caused by stress?
Went shopping at the outlets with Erin and Logan. I'm exhausted, but as usual we found some good buys. Logan's birthday is coming up and I got him a couple of outfits. Just what a 2 year old boy wants!
Wishing you all a great quiet AF Thursday!

Re: One Step at a Time - April 2019

Hi all,
Rash much better today, maybe it was stress. Idk cuz it started out like a bug bite. Dd1 talked to someone today about grad school in Illinois. It sounds pretty good so she is gonna put in an application for that. Went up to the falls today, some people out on the rocks(high and slippery) had their dogs too. One dog slipped but didnt go down the falls. Signs all over not to go out there, people have been killed falling off the rocks. Crazy. Rain coming, it is humid as hell......Liz, glad you had fun shopping. Good Mark got back ok, I always worry about my kids when they travel....nothing much else. Waves to Nora, Paulie, Rusty....

Re: One Step at a Time - April 2019

Bird - I can't believe that they were going out on the rocks. I read that someone else fell to their death at the Grand Canyon. I would be too scared about falling to get close to the edge. I'm paranoid. When we were having a little memorial for my cousin, my niece and my cousin's daughter were way at the edge. Scared all of us.

Liz - glad you found some bargains. I am not a shopper - I used to drive my mom crazy when we went shopping together. Ha, ha

Pauly - anything exciting for your day off? Was Lou off school this week?

Rusty - how you doing?

Glassie - sending healing thoughts

Waves and welcome to all that read here.

Almost Happy Friday for me - some of you are already enjoying your Friday. :yay:

Re: One Step at a Time - April 2019

Thanks for the kind thoughts everyone. I had another endoscopy today but they didn't find anything more than they already know!

Rusty I'm sorry about your mother. I understand that you must be worried but she is so lucky she has you to check on her. So many older people have nobody to look out for them which is awful.

Hugs to Nora, bird, Pauly and Liz. xxxx

Re: One Step at a Time - April 2019

Morning friends,great to see you Glassy,hope things get better for you and your health soon Bird, people are crazy to get so close to the edge in unsafe conditions! Especially when it's just to take a perfect selfie,have you seen those news reports where someone fell over that? Very sad,I'm glad you made your decision to not go to Alaska,at first I felt you should cuz your mom is getting older but then if you two don't have the best relationship then why bother? Especially if it was stressing you out to go((hugs)) Rusty,any news on the thefts? Hope they figure it out,I wonder if there's been other "victims"? Ugh took nasacort yesterday and I'm just too sensitive to the steroid in it! My heart was pounding,my BP felt high,just anxious and it was awful! Still have some residual anxiety this morning,never again with that, I'd rather be stuffed up,waves to Liz and Nora hope we all have a fabulous AF Friday!!

Re: One Step at a Time - April 2019

Pauly - what a horrible feeling from that med. Hope you feel better right away

Re: One Step at a Time - April 2019

Good Afternoon/Saturday Morning Everyone!

[MENTION=8902]Glass Half Empty[/MENTION]-I wish your doctor could make you feel well again. I feel so badly that you have been sick! I have a new client in Brisbane. I have never been to Australia before so I am really excited about going. I don't know when I am going...all I know is I am going and I am taking a side trip to Fiji, too.
[MENTION=9757]NoraC[/MENTION]-my dinner party was a lot of fun...thank you for asking. :-)
[MENTION=19302]Lizann[/MENTION]-beautiful pics on FB of the tulip fields.

Pauly-can you take something else besides Nasacort? Claritin?

No more news on the thieves at Mom's assisted living facility. Now I feel like we should lock up her purse. :0(

I am home but working. It's a beautiful day here!

[Lizann]

Re: One Step at a Time - April 2019

[MENTION=17650]paulywogg[/MENTION], wow, hope you're feeling better after the nasacort. Had no idea there were steroids in it. Hubby and son take them sometimes. You do seem very sensitive to medication. I think you're right about [MENTION=2634]bird[/MENTION] not going to seem her mom. It's a tough decision either way. I'm glad your rash is better [MENTION=2634]bird[/MENTION]! I have heard reports of people dying to get the perfect selfie. I know my FIL was obsessed with fishing. He used to go on the jetty and made my MIL crazy. Wet rocks and a elderly gentleman in his 80s do not mix. He did fall and got a ton stitches on his head.

Re: One Step at a Time - April 2019

[MENTION=1214]Rusty[/MENTION], how exciting, Australia and Fiji! Its definitely on my bucket list!
GLassie, sorry you're still not feeling great. I hope they get to the bottom of whatever it is. How is HRH? [MENTION=5628]Nora[/MENTION], how is your mom feeling? Did u get to see Savannah?
So in the middle of my posting TS called, that's why I stopped and restarted. Her daughter is moving out on Monday. She is heartbroken and things are not going well over there right now. I get it. We just hope for the best for my niece. TS asked me on Easter if I was "going to be ok today" (she was referring to me drinking as she had wine and beer). I said yes I was fine and let it go. SHe said good, I don't need to worry about you too. Yeah, ouch. Figure I deserve that but it hurt. Today he told me she spoke to hubby on Sunday and asked him if she should sleep over when he's away. He didn't tell me. I resent needing a baby sitter. Ugh, really? Just leave me alone. Just feeling super emotional right now. I really have nowhere to talk about this but here. Thanks for letting me share my feelings here.
Anyway, hope you guys are all ready for a great AF weekend!

Re: One Step at a Time - April 2019

Liz,I'd be pissed off! You know I hate that just because someone had issues with alcohol or drugs in the past has to be a "thing" attached to them for the rest of their lives,ugh,I know our families love us but jeez drop it ya know? A few Easter's ago Kell accused me of drinking when I wasn't,I got mad and defended myself but then a week later drank over being frustrated and feeling like people don't trust me,I just don't like scrutiny it annoys me bad,Rusty, congrats on the new clients!!! Yay!
