It's time to get up... it's time to get up... It's time to get up soooo early in the MORRRRRRRNING!!!
Can you hear that?! As you can tell I do not care for mornings, because I am usually still awake then
Welp, just thought I would make the chatter box today. Oppps almost forgot to put "OT" in the subject for the post
Ok... I am going to bed it is 3:00am. I am going to TRY to get up before noon to get son back on his normal schedule. Oh he is going to be a cranky, mean butt if I do wake him up, but that will mean I can send him for a nap around 1pm if I wake him up at 10am. Here's to hoping!!!! *crosses fingers* WOOHOOO! I can STILL cross my fingers.
Struggling on at the moment, bloody flares are a nightmare. I thought I was cured
Hope everyone else is doing okay though.
Sorry you are flaring, Lisa
Well... this time I am heading to bed for sure. I was reading up on Micheleb
Ok nite everyone... see ya when I get up.
Good morning all. It is a brilliant day in Wyoming. Cool, but not too cold. I slept like I have been praying to sleep for a long time. I figure I got almost 6 and a half hours of uninterrupted sleep! woohoo!!!!
I am in moderate to severe pain in certain places...not whole body. Although my temp is starting to climb?! I am hoping I can keep this conjestion at a minimum, 'cause I do have some sub days and we can use all the help we can get with bills.
I have eaten my pancakes...I know bad me...and now I am going to take my meds and try to rest, 'cause I still feel wiped out. I am also out of my vicodin, so all I have is percoset, and I WILL not take that during the day. I hope Doc calls in the Vicodin early.
Does anyone know the time difference from Alaska to Great Britain, looks like Pin is 8 hours ahead of me. Our DD made it to Scotland this morning and I'm trying to figure out if she's going to be calling in the middle of the night to say she's homesick. Went to bed in pain, got up an hour later and took a Vicodin, should have taken it before I climbed into bed. But the pain has subsided and with the washing machine fixed I am looking forward to doing some laundry this weekend.Deidre, if it is 8am your time it is 5pm London time. So, she is nine hours ahead. YOu probably won't get a homesick call in the middle of the night unless she waits until the AM London time to call.I wonder why the clock on the top of my post is an hour later than it really is. It's West Coast time instead of Alaska, but what does that mean, we don't rate to have our correct time zone? Alaskans have always had a chip on their shoulder about the West Coast, no where near the competition between Alaska and Texas, but the clock being off seems a bit weird.Deidre, you can set the time to your time zone - just go into settings and fix it the way you want it!Alright so Karen's gonna yell at me............but my left ear is plugged again. BAAAAHHHHHHH I do *NOT* want to go to the doctors. I'm going to keep taking this medicine and see what happens this weekend. *sigh*Katie, go get some antibiotics and stop this nonsense! Do you enjoy being sick and having this hang on forever??
My son has had ruptured eardrums twice because of pressure that built up behind his eardrum. Don't be a bad girl - just go to the doctor! I'll buy you some dark chocolate if you do!!!
Oh...ok... yeah 2 periods in one month would drive me ABSOULUTLY NUTZ! I do not even think I would care to find out.
Well... I got outta bed a little earlier this noon. Someone called and said they were going to come look at the trailor, so I had to get outta bed, take a shower, and get dressed and now... I am playing the waiting game.
I am hungry... I think I am going to go find something to eat. Thanks to my Candy Corn thread... I am now hungry. Thanks self.
Ok....I laid down for what I told hubby was a short snooze...yep three hours later. I have been up for five minutes and *sigh* I am feeling very bad again. Time to go back to bed. I HATE introducing new meds to eachother. I can't wait until they can get along.
Hello all.
Glad I'm not alone w/ sleep problems & such.
The last 3 weeks have been the happiest & the saddest time for me. New grandbaby. Who is doing great btw. Then last week my cousin died @ age 52. Complete renal failure including extreem cirrhosis(sp) of the liver due to alcoholism. Sadder still because he followed his brother and father to the grave for the same reason. Left behind a new wife and 2 teenage daughters. So in my grief, I went straight from sad to mad in a second. What a waste. Having this group here to vent to is invaluable. Everyone is very supportive & I thank God for it.
Monk
So sorry Monk for your loss. I know I have a brother that almost watched our dad lose everything to drinking. He doesn't get it, but has taken it a step further with drugs too. Now he is in his mid-thirties and cannot take Cholesteral lowering drugs, 'cause...ya got it he has fried his liver.
It is hard to go to a funeral angry. Try to support the ones who are left. Did he stop drinking or did he just follow his addition?
He quit for a time but his wife died suddenly 2 years ago and started up again. Then he started really partying lately because he got remarried and just tried keeping up w/ his new wife(she said that!) I don't know, it's just so upsetting because his brother was only 43 when he died. So senseless. He was the one to watch. He made good, had a beautiful life, and just threw it all away. His girls are just lost.
Hugs
Thanx Joon - I was reading your other post about the carmel candy corn. I'm going to the store later for them.
What is it w/ the sleep issues lately? Glad to know it's just not me, but hells bells, it's wearing me out. I should get online when I can't sleep & see how many folks are here. I bet there would be a few.
Can't breathe today either. Fires all around us here in the central valley, ca and it's gross. Socked in for like 3 days now. The glow around the sun is beautifully creepy.
Monk, I am really sorry to hear about your cousin.
Enjoy your candy corn!
Ya'll got fires again? Man... I am kinda glad I do not live in California any more. As you can tell I do not watch the news.
Well... tomorrow son should be back on his sleep schedule... as our town is having their annual community yard sale... and we are getting up a little early for that. And by noon son should be tuckered out. So, that means he will go to sleep early... YAY!!!
I am going to take my meds around 8pm and see if that will make me go to sleep a little earlier. I am starting to feel almost "normal" now that I am down to 10mg as of yesterday... YAY!!!
I am still sleepy... I want to crawl back into my bed and stay there, but hubby is fixing to be home in 10 mins... soo... I cannot go back to bed.

Backpack... backpack... backpack....
Why does son have to like to watch Dora? I mean she does not even have blonde hair, which he LOVES blondes! I think it might have to do with that she is hispanic. Yeah that is probably it.
Man, Dora SUCKS!
We live in Cheyenne, WY. I can't say I am from here. There are prettier places in Wyoming.Monk I am so sorry that he wasted his life and his chances. It sounds like he could have had a beautiful life. He had choices and made the wrong ones.
I don't understand why people throw their lives away. I have treated alcohol like the plague 'cause I watched it devastate my WHOLE family, and I was just unwilling to take that chance. I am so sorry, this makes things so hard. I know that I will be burying my brother and probably my sister early, because of this addiction. It tears my heart out as I am sure it does yours.
Joonie, Dora is a part of his growing process...at some point in time you will wish for the day he is watching Dora...instead of barrowing the car keys! We had BARNEY and Thomas the TAnk.
Oh Monk I'm sorry :(
No this 2 period thing is normal for me - it has to do with the panic attacks. They threw me off, any kind of MAJOR stress does, my body is super sensitive. Now that I'm back on the Lexapro, I guess my uterus is trying to "play catch up"
No thanks, not yet!!!!!!!
Yeah... wonder if it will last long? Probably not. No rain been seen, so that is probably why my joints feel ok.
Monk, sorry about your loss. My EX-H had a drinking problem and sadly chose drinking over me and his two children. His loss....
Katie you are in trouble. Now I have a runny nose, sore throat and blocked ears. Grrr. I think I have a fever too but I can't find the thermometer. And my hand and foot "knuckles" have been killing me all day.Monk I am so sorry about your cousin! How heartbreaking for his family. My prayers are with you and your whole famity.
Hugs,
Nini
I am SURROUNDED by idiots!
3 more hours, 3 more hours......someone get me OUTA HERE!!
I am glad you are here and not self destructing.
Oh... I want something sweet to eat. I might get hubby to run me to Winn-Dixie they have a good bakery, much fresher baked goods than at Wal-Mart.I did not get you all sick!!!!! LOL Don't blame me!!!
Why hasn't any more time passed? I'm confused. It's still 3 more hours....ack!
hmmm. Joonie you sure they take after their daddy??? hhmmm?AAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHhhYou know Sportkwik - the stuff you stick on your fingers so you can flip through papers easily? Yep. It tastes kinda fruity, but it has no smell. You read that right, I TASTED IT.
It makes you tongue kinda tingly though!
How are you doing? You feeling any better? What time do you get out?
Not until 11 Bleh. I feel better head cold wise, but I'm now panic-ey.
*sigh*
I think maybe in being sick I haven't been taking up the Lexapro as well? OR when I'm on my period, 10mgs isn't enough. Hm. Any ideas?
I don't know, I haven't had any experience with that.
I wonder if it's some kind of reaction to the decongestants? Seems like that is when the problem first arose, isn't it?
Yep sure is. :( Why aren't you on AIM? You don't like me no more!!
LOL Where the heck is everyone else?? Gale? MoNana? Biscuit? Shelly? Etc Etc?
I'm sorry that should have read "Princess Fatback"
Why doesn't Gale have a nickname??
Princess Fatback has arrived
I'm up to take a muscle relaxer and head back to bed ( where I've been all day) and maybe a pain pill. I am pissy.
Oh no Mona, that sounds awful!!
Take care of yourself and feel better!
Ok, I am here, now the rest should arrive.
Princess fatback I am soooo sorry you are feeling badly. Try some heat. (I know when it is hotter than Hades!), but try.
Hi Katydid,....no no panicking...you will be fine! We are all here with you.
Hi Spcial K...how are you today...how are those HUGE ankles?
Well, I spent all day shaving my hairy toes!See, See what you've done Miss Katydid!
I have hairy toes too. I do shave them quite often. I do not have a facination about them though.
If we all do end up meeting in Florida at Katie's hotel in Feb. I will be sure to wear sandals and not shave my toes, so ya'll will know who I am, LOL!
That's a deal. Where are our pot stirers tonight???I know Florence Nightengale(Gale---Brisen) had the day off. Did she fall off the earth? Hmmm!
Well Katie is on her way home from work, Mona has gone back to bed, Joonie was on earlier but left, and I have no idea where everryone else is!
Should we call it an early night. It is almost 11 here and I know that they will all be on tomorrow night so it will be late.
I sure hope everybody starts feeling a little better soon. I did have one meal and my ice cream stay with me tonight. Maybe the worst of it is over.
Well I hope you feel fantastic tomorrow!
Have a good night!
Yes, I hope everyone feels good tomorrow. Do you know how awnry those two will be tomorrow??? We will need to feel better.
Good night Special K...sweet dreams.
