Focused February - Week 3

i have been tested, about a year ago and I was not in menapause. And I am on birth control, seasonique so wouldn't that sort of shut down my system?

Like my new avatar? That is my senior rescue dog, Zack. We think he is 12 or 13 and have had him for about nine years. He has the cutest gray hair around his eyes.

Piper,

Zack is a cutie

I still think I would check in with my doc re the night sweats. They are a symptom of something going on in your body whether it's menopause or an infection of some sort.
I remember having drenching night sweats 2 weeks after my son was born - I was 27. My hormones just shut completely down for some reason & got them restarted by going on BC pills - weird

Looks like it has been a slow week on this thread.....

Lav, have you ever heard of labor cookies? I know someone who swears by them

Whoops,

Anyway, labor cookies, I wonder if there is something on the internet about them?

Night sweats are common when you are fighting a cold, right? Or detoxing from alcohol. Your entire system is out of whack and it takes time to feel normal.

So happy this week is going fast and the weather is getting warmer. There is hope for spring.

Rebirth, nice to hear from you, how is your AF journey going? I have been AF and feeling better and better, so happy to report. I read about Doggygirl's 1000 days AF and want that for me. I am working on it. I am just seeing that there is no point in even having one drink.....it will mess up everything.

Have a great AF Thursday.

Focused February - Week 3

Good morning everyone

It's been a busy, busy week I guess for everyone. I still like to check in though and see how everyone is doing. Looking forward to hearing Lav's news.

My back is a little bit better. Got some stuff from the chemist and did manage a walk in the woods this morning.

My daughter has only two exams left. History and Art history. There is a lot in both subjects so she will be glad when it is all over. My other daughter is finishing her work experience. Herself and a friend are working in an animal rescue centre. The first one they went to was private and was terrible, plus it was too far away. They stopped into the county one on the way back and they took them for the next four days. Talk about chalk and cheese. No point rescuing animals if they are then left in small cages and not great conditions.

Next week is mid-term so I am looking forward to a rest. Hope everyone is doing ok and those not posting are just busy. If by any chance Al has sunk his claws into anyone, dont let him win, come back and kiss ass with the rest of us.

Good morning Focused ones!

rebirth - what's up with you? Please let us know.

Star - it's heading to 67 blessed degrees today Cmon Spring!!!

Rustop, I have to admit I don't quite understand your school systems in Ireland, Europe & the like. I know they are quite different from what we have here. You certainly are a busy lady! Glad your back is better - we all need good, strong, painfree backs to do all we need to do everyday.
No stork news yet.......my bet is on tomorrow but we shall see.

Thought about cyntree last night as I wrestled to get to sleep with the light of the near full moon bathing my room. She knows how the full moon throws me completely off balance! Tonight I will fire up a smudge stick, for sure.

Hello & greetings to all the missing, Dill, LBH, cyn, sooty, Shelley,etc, etc,etc

Have a great day one & all!
Lav

Hey everyone!! Sorry to be so quiet these past few days. It's been busy but fun. I really don't want to work anymore :H! I have too much going on outside of it!!

Star-I promise I havent' forgotten about your sandwich post. I just need to find an hour to sit down and write it.

Rebirth-Are you OK? I hope you're just busy with work.

Today is fish day! My tank is all set up and I'm going to pick out fish in a few hours. Then I'll take pics and post them for you.

I've also been working on my bro's website but now it looks like we might have to start from scratch. Adobe is saying my Dream Weaver license is no longer valid and I have to upgrade to version 5. Since the copy I have was "pirated" so to speak (my bro's old webmaster downloaded his copy onto my pc and gave me the license numbers) I really can't complain to Adobe that they can't make me upgrade. Esp since I don't know which of the license numbers are right!! So we're looking into other software and some webhosting companies that offer templates for little or no money. Should be fun. I didn't like his site anyway but didn't have a clue how to redesign it. Plus, DW can be a bear to work with for a newbie like me.

Crock pot dinners, doing my taxes, scooping the poop area and getting my budget AND my business some attention are all on the agenda for these last days of vacation. Zoom Zoom!! Oh, and I have to fit in at least 30 min of exercise in there somewhere!!

Love to all who come on board today-I'll check in tonite.

Focused February - Week 3

Oh Sped, Glad you checked in. Do you have anyone with you? PM me if you like. Try and drink some water and stay away from Al, it will only make you feel worse.

It's at times like this that I wish we were more than cyber friends. Just remember that we are all thinking of you. All of us have been in that black hole and know what it feels like. Take care of yourself, you are a wonderful person.

Hugs

Good evening all, I'm off to get back in the pool, but I wanted to post support to speds -- we are here for you, I am still new to this, but I feel your pain. Try to drink some water, get some sleep, if anything keep reading here. That is what I did for a couple weeks, drink and read. (((hugs))) Piper

ETa: I had no nightsweats last night. then again I slept in shorts and a t-shirt not flannels. Could that be my problem? I'm not recognizing the season changing?
