I already had my melt down day where every emotion possibly came pouring out in the form of verbal abuse and some of that cry talking where you can't really understand me.
I had to get it out of my system and so now I'm just overwhelmed and stressed, which we all know is a great combo for RA. I'm beating that bastard down with a stick though. There is too much to accomplish in too little time. And no, we don't have a place yet or know where we are going to live. That's all gonna be taken care of once we get there. FUNTASTIC, eh!
Wow, that's not much notice at all! That is so stressful! Did he see it coming?Night everyone. I am done for the night too. Too tired to even stay up for 20/20. I'll record it.
Sweet dreams, Mom.
We knew we were moving just not when or where. Now we have all that. It's still insanely quick. No, it's not to soon to come back to the states. We'll be in the southwest and Texas for a couple of months and then head north. Night all. LindyWow Mel. That's awful. I'm so sorry! Moving is so exhausting, even when you are able bodied. I hope you are in an ok place with your RA right now.
Do you know where in Ca you are going? I live in Ca. If you are in my general area I could give you my RDs number. I love him.
All the good chit chat happens after I go to bed! Mtx makes me too nauseous to stay up. Darn it!
Mel, you're going to be one busy woman......you know, it's kind of exciting. When we moved from D.C. to San Francisco we had 6 weeks to sell, pack, and move. Fortunately everything moved quickly and we were on the road in 4 weeks and decided to take 2 weeks to see this big beautiful country. I hope this move is good for you and your family. Have had a really busy day packing, still. Should be finished tomorrow.
About 6:00 p.m. I decided to wash out a bra and cotton shirt. I put them in the bathroom sink, added some detergent, turned on the water, and answered the door. It was our friends stopping by and asking if we wanted to go to dinner with them; I grabbed my purse and Stan and I hopped in their car. Two and half hours later we came home and water was running out of the RV's undercarriage. I had left the water running in the bathroom sink. This isn't a good thing to do in an RV. After sopping and mopping up the water we put fans blowing on all of the floor surfaces. The basement of the RV needed to be mopped up as well.
With any kind of luck the wood floors won't buckle and the sub floors will be okay. It's so hot and humid here they won't dry, but it won't be long till we're in a much dryer climate.
I have my fingers crossed. This could turn out to be one very expensive "mind fart" and hopefully Stan will be talking to me by tomorrow.
He did say something that concerned me, but I didn't want to continue the conversation. He mentioned that I've been forgetful, not paying attention, and kind of spacey. Crap, I've been like that since RA hit and he's just noticing it? Anyone else out there forgetful, inattentive, at times spacey and do stupid and moronic things? My friends haven't said anything. Maybe he's just mad. I'll talk to him about it tomorrow or the next day or maybe sometime next week. Lindy
LinB2009-03-22 00:05:52Our neighborhood is having a big group yard sale next month. I have stuff spread out all over the house that needs to be priced. I've been dragging my feet on it.....but I need to get busy! I plan to put all the money raised toward landscaping projects this spring/summer. I'm excited about that; but dreading the sale in general. We've got tons of stuff to sale though; so it will be good I'm sure.
Last month I went down to Jacksonville NC with my DIL. We were going to find a house for her and my son to rent for when he gets home from his deployment. Well, we found an adorable little house, right near base, right price etc. It was perfect. This weekend was to be the big move. Kristin loaded up all her stuff from her apartment in Asheville, drove it down in a uhaul, had some friends meeting her there to get all moved in. When she got there, the house was TRASHED in the most disgusting ways. She got her money back, but now has no place to live. She is scrambling to find another house right now. Thankfully my other DIL lives in the area so at least Kristin has a roof over her head. Talk about a headache, huh? Poor thing.
I am officially unemployed - WOOHOO! Some may remember last fall I wanted to resign from my current position, but my supervisors asked me to stay on part-time for a while, until they could distribute my responsibilities. This past Friday was my last day. I must admit I'm kinda sad, because I really enjoyed my co-workers. On the other hand, I will NOT miss the hour-long commute (and that's on a GOOD day) and the frustration of not having enough hours in the week to get through my to-do list. I'm going to have even more time to hang out with the kids, and to take care of stuff around the house (it currently looks like we have a pet tornado). Our pastor is very excited as well - he's busy lining up IT projects for me with our parish website and servers, instead of having to hire an outside contractor.
We are fortunate not to need my income to survive and thrive, and even when we had 0000 combined yearly income, we certainly didn't lead an extravagant life.
Congrats JR! It is rare that one can afford that luxury, especially in this day and age. Enjoy your freedom!!!

Aw, I'm happy for ya, Jas. You're gonna love being a stay at home mom. You won't regret it one bit.Snow! love the painting.. I have a bed tray and a tissue box painted like that!!
Jas!! I am thrilled for you!! enjoy.... I had the rare pleasure when my four were very young (actually I worked at home..but it was perfect!!)
Wantto! I hope all works out for younger boy.. I hope he finds that he's much more functional! the best to you all.. enjoy your grandkitty!!
oh, LinB....... I have done that a million times.. When DH is traveling for work, my kittens sleep w/ me... and I fill DH's bathroom sink for them to drink from if they get thirsty.. so they ask me for it (by sitting on the vanity) and when I was getting into the shower I turned it on...... I completely forgot about it while I got my clothes together.. and hopped into the shower........ Luckily (cause DH would KILL me) nothing happened and it all ran into the overflow..... but I've done it more than once.. AND I did it at my Oldest daughter's shower in the bathroom of the host....... how bad is that??
I was shopping w/ my husband (we bought MP3 players for our airplane flights) and a PSP game for youngest son to use when we got to Miami in April (Easter gift I suppose) and then babysat little grandson while his mom and dad did their shopping at BJs wholesale.... All in all, a wonderful day..... Grandson has had a tough go of it lately.. In january and february he had two bouts w/ pneumonia.. he is a little preemie and this really wasn't good for him at all. He's doing great now.. If I can load up a pic I will...... He's too precious!! There are pics on my facebook for those who go there.......
oK.. Here's the little guy: (he has a nasal tube for feedings.. as a preemie he could not gain weight without that help)
in hysterics:
his mommys swears this wasn't staged:
thanks,Snow..
Mel.. there's a good chance that could be us in the fall... It's like waiting for the other shoe to drop when the boss tells DH that we're being transferred to TX...... e know it "could" happen though.... just a matter of time?
Keep us posted on any clues you get to make it easier!!
best to you!!
Snow~ the furniture hid a lot of stuff, mold, cracks in the floor, trash, they left grime in the oven, mold in the fridge, they apparently forgot how to flush the toilet at some point before they left, and didn't seem to think it important to continue taking their dogs outside to relieve themselves. DIL sent pics. Nasty. I couldn't even smell it and it made my stomach turn.Wow - seems like everyone has a lot going on! I can't believe those tenants trashed the house. We're even shampooing the carpets before we go! We're out of here next Sunday morning. Our landlord will be doing a walk-through and giving us back our deposit and then we're on our way. I haven't been doing too bad RA wise, but tomorrow there's a major front coming through that may knock me on my arse. I'm keeping everything crossed hoping that it doesn't cause I don't have time to lay around. It's definitely been hard trying to pack with baby boy "helping." I tried packing his toys and everything I put in the box he took back out. Momma's little helper. ;) There's just a ton to do and not so much time to do it in. And I should probably be doing some of that stuff instead of sitting here on the computer.
Hope you're all having a superfantastic and extra-comfortable day!
Tuesdays... I think I LOVE Tuesdays. and probably Thurdays.
Oh those are my RD's infusion days.
Welp, off to go take pain meds & muscle relaxers.
AHA! No wonder you are loving them! Hope your pain meds/relaxers give you the relief you need!
