And how are you feeling?

[Gemme]

I feel like I could have used a little more sleep but not too bad overall.

[Orema]

Pretty good. Have been doing intermittent fasting and it has me more energetic than usual and my joints aren't as tender as usual.

Could be better but could be worse.

:pursebee:

[FireSignFemme]

A little bit headachy but not enough to medicate. Despite it, still in incredibly good spirits.

[JDeere]

Doing better.

Finally got out today and walked around.

[Gemme]

I ate too much but, boy, was it good.

[Orema]

This has been a horrible day.

Work that should have taken 1 hour will take 2 days because the files weren’t properly prepped (prepared).

My phone needed recharging after being on for a couple hours. Took it to the phone store and they misdiagnosed the problem. They did a bunch of nothin’ and just as I was going to leave another tech took a look and saw that my pbone’s battery was swellling and my phone was expanding. When I walked in I told them the problem was the battery. They gave me a new phone and charged me for the battery. Three hours of my work day wasted.

The plumber came by, used a snake, and some roots came out. He took the toilet off the floor and it looked like a tree was growing in there. I was happy till he told me I can’t use the bathroom till tomorrow when he returns. Something to do with cement not drying.

So, I’m not eating food, not drinking water, and am hangry.

Grumpy doesn’t begin to describe how I’m feelin’.

[RockOn]

*giving you a great big comforting hug*

Woman, you had hella day!

[JDeere]

Itchy, allergic reaction gone nutso and nothing is helping.:|

[Orema]

Woman, you had hella day!

Thanks, Rocks! I'm feeling better. Am meeting the plumber in an hour or so and all should be well.

[RockOn]

Not so much ... I get to feeling good with those gimpy lower back discs and forget ... lifted a 50 pound bag of concrete and carried it about 12 feet before I remembered I built a wagon for heavy lifting ... I dropped it immediately but not soon enough ... paying for it now ... I am such the asshole!!!

You had a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day. I hope today was better for you!

[FireSignFemme]

Wiped out. We had a bit of a break in the weather so J suggested another shopping trip before the roads got bad again. Proved to be a good idea, and we loaded up, but all sorts of things on mark down meant all sorts of things to haul home and carry upstairs. Not fun. But I guess it beats being forced to go out and try and hunt in this weather only to come home largely empty handed save for a few shavings of inner tree bark.

[JDeere]

A bit better! Still gonna take awhile to get 100.

[Orema]

You had a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day. I hope today was better for you!

It was much better, thank you. The plumber did a good job at a reasonble rate, I saw my doctor and my numbers are good (though I have to start exercising for them to be excellent, says he), my boss has been flexible, and now I’m at home relaxing.

It’s been a nice day, indeed.

:poc-cool:

[JustLovelyJenn]

I am feeling anxious, scared, frustrated and a few other not so fun emotions.

Physically my tummy is upset and my uturus hates me.

Today is attempt two at my mothers partial mastectomy. The first attempt was aborted when her blood pressure dropped to 35/12!!! For very good reason. Now I just have to hope this one goes better.

My very distractable 14 year old autistic child is sitting in the waiting room with me, I would really like a ciggerette but am afraid to leave the waiting room. I am a little hungry and my blood sugars feel off.

SIGH... can today be done?

[Mel C.]

Pretty good. Work is good, family is good, dogs are good, friends are good. No complaints.

[Orema]

Pretty good right now. I’m in the hospital and they’re giving me the good stuff.

I lost my balance this morning. I tried to break the fall. I fell on top of two or three vases. I cut an artery in my wrist. The amount of blood freaked me out and I couldn’t dial 911 and put pressure on my wrist at the same time. So I went outside and started screaming for somebody to help me. A neighbor heard me and came out and dial 911 for me.

Fire department came and got me to the hospital quickly. They took me into surgery and were able to stop the bleeding of the artery. But I’ve got to have surgery again tomorrow to fix some tendons. Looks like I jacked up a tendon or two.

I So I’ve Got some issues, but it could be worse. A lot worse.

[Lyte]

A pretty good day! While I had to make an appearance at work, it was slow enough not to be UGH! and yes busy enough not to be UGH! it was an UGH-less day!! :p

Omg! Thankfully your neighbor was home to hear you!

Feel better soon and keep us updated on your surgery tomorrow.

[babydollfem]

It's been a long day, I messed my foot up at work on Saturday and they called me in today again and it hurt horribly my whole shift. But good news is I'm off now and can ice it so I'm a happy camper. I hope everyone that's had a bad day today can recover and have a much better one tomorrow!

[Gemme]

I feel like my day "off" was wasted yesterday. I was supposed to do some deep cleaning, organizing and decluttering and wound up spending about 5 hours at work, so that nixed that. I did, however, get a perfect score on our audit so I feel GREAT about that! I also had a good visit with my immediate supervisor so that's good juju vibes too. I just wish I didn't have to lose my personal time to do so.

[C0LLETTE]

I'm feeling ok if you consider that I'm old and cranky but then again, I've been cranky since puberty.

Physically okay

Emotionally blah I think I need a med dosage upped

[Orema]

pretty good. back to work. expect it to be an easy kind of day.

have been doing really good with the medicine by taking the antibiotics on time and only taking a fraction of the pain meds prescribed (though I keep them nearby, if needed).

I think I'll still be able to sew, play the piano, and use the mouse. I'll know better after seeing the doctor in a couple days.

hand is getting stronger every day—so far, so good.

I missed your original post about your accident. How scary! I remember seeing my brother with a similar cut when we were kids and the amount of blood was... well you know. I'm so glad to hear you are on the mend.

I'm feeling a little sleepy after a restless night but ready to seize the day.

[Orema]

Good. Things went well at the doctors office. I’m healing fine (no swelling nor infections) and will be able to do most things I’ve done before. My thumb is a little numb and tingly, but I’ll still be able to use it. It’s too early to tell If the numbing and tingling will last, but things are looking good.

I have to go back to the doctor tomorrow to have them reset this splint. It’s too tight and my fingers are too restricted, but other than that I’m doing good.

I can’t drive a stick shift for at least another two weeks and have decided to sell it. I’m gonna go take a look at some regular sized cars with automatic transmissions after I leave the doctor tomorrow. I’m going to miss driving that car, but it’s time for a change.

:pursebee:

[TL1]

Great! I forgot what no chronic pain was like. I still have some muscle pain and twinges from my recent surgery. Having your abdomen cut into twice within 7 to 8 months I’d say that’s normal. I feel good more than that though.... I’m off the nerve meds now and my mental state is really good. My energy level is way up compared to before this last surgery. I’m constantly up and moving when before I would tire out or be in too much pain. My blood counts are normal finally! Yes life is looking good. :)

[Gemme]

Rough. I'm not the type of person that can short themselves of proper sleep several days throughout the week and still be okay. Add in the start of menses and I sincerely fear for people today if they are stupid as I just won't be able to reign in my venom. Maybe I'll come home early. It's a snow day so I'll have to go in and see the damage, et cetera, but maybe I can leave early.

*crosses fingers*

[Orema]

I feel like playing hooky today.

I want to go car shopping with my buddy Norbert then off to the movies. That’s what I feel like doing but I’m going to go to work. Norbert can’t afford the time off and neither can I. At least today is Friday. There is that.

I have to get a car with an automatic transmission so I can move on the knee surgery. Gotta make that happen soon.

:poc-cool:

[C0LLETTE]

I could feel better but I don't know what that feels like.

[FireSignFemme]

A bit irritated.

[firecat242]

Confused. I am on vacation and I really don't know what to do with myself.
And now I am depressed because I am not doing anything and I am on freakin' vacation. Faced with this much angst.....I need a nap.

[Orema]

Frustrated at work, but I'll get over it.

[candy_coated_bitch]

Satiated and excited yet also bored.

[FireSignFemme]

A little lonely, I'm not sure why. I don't get this way very often, weird.

[Kenna]

Sore. Very sore. And muscles in my legs keep feeling like tiny fish flopping around.
Smashed my toes yesterday while working in my workshop.

Tired.

Amused at my dogs who are oblivious to Daylight Savings Time. It usually takes them at least 2 months for them to change their morning potty break times.

[JDeere]

Pretty good except mild allergies going on.

[Kenna]

Still very sore. Spent most the day resting.

[Orema]

Pretty good. See the wrist doctor this morning and will get a chance to gently scratch it. Hoping he can remove the stitches in my thumb today. Will go someplace afterward to treat myself to something. Not sure what, but I'll find something to tickle my fancy.

[Kenna]

I seriously over did it these past several days. I'm happy with my accomplishments but damn my body is screaming.

[Gemme]

I'm crampy and not feeling 100% but it could be worse. I'm off today so I can spend most of the day in my pajamas so that's not too bad. I'll survive.

Extremely fantabulous!!
A wonderful time spending it with my Mother. These are the days I will remember for a long time. I'm lucky we have such a good relationship. I'm having a great visit.

https://pics.me.me/happiness-is-spending-time-with-your-mom-13661615.png

[FireSignFemme]

Happy! My son is going to propose! He came over and showed me the ring he picked out. J's gonna love it. When they were talking about marriage, maybe someday, they went looking at rings. There were two she really liked and and one especially so. My son convinced her they should stick within a certain budget and got the salesperson to show her a bunch of less expensive rings. She settled on two that she liked well enough and showed me pictures of them. He made her think she was going to get one of those if he proposed but instead he bought her the one she fell in love with the moment she put it on. She's going to be so surprised. And I'm so glad she's officially going to be part of our family. :)

[Plaidandroses]

Feeling worried and upset and kind of helpless tonight. I have the day off tomorrow which would be nice normally, but today something happened with one of my students that has me really really worried and I'm tempted to go in tomorrow just to make sure everything is ok. Not that the other teachers can't handle it, they know what they're doing, it's just that this kid knows me better and might tell me things that he's not comfortable sharing with other teachers.

It's 100% true what they say, teachers lose sleep over other peoples' kids.

[JDeere]

Like crap!

Sinus infection on top of everything else so I'm cranky.

[Kenna]

Exhausted. ....

[Lyte]

Confused. Bummed. Confused. Bummed.

Not necessarily in that order.

[JDeere]

Still upset and angry.

[Gemme]

I feel a wee bit tired but that's my fault entirely as I stayed up too late. I'm a bit excited because I'm starting a new physical fitness program today. I'm also getting a smidge hungry so I'll go deal with that now.

[homoe]

Fine now, but that procedure I had last Friday.. that knocked the stuffing out of me for several days!

[Gemme]

I'm a little tired but good overall. I think I need to pop the heat up a bit too but other than those two things, I'm great.

[Gemme]

Again, I'm a wee bit tired. I was too wound up to go to bed at a decent hour last night, so I only got about 6 hours of sleep which is not good for me. I'm a 7 is good, 8 is better, 8.5 is best kind of sleeper nowadays. I think it's because I never got good sleep when I was a kid. My body just can't compensate anymore. I do get to leave work early, though, so I'm happy about that.

[FireSignFemme]

Happy! So nice to wake up to a break from men clambering up and down the sides of the building and stomping across the roof.

[MsTinkerbelly]

So very, very sad.

[RockOn]

I am so sorry you are so, so sad.

[RockOn]

I am feeling ....

not so much.

I stay in bed as much as possible. That is the place where the sciatic pain is the least. Of course I cannot do it on workdays but I do sometimes lie on a yoga mat in my cubicle. I meet my new primary doctor on the 12th. I hope she will prescribe me something for pain that actually works. I had two doctor appts last week. I will never get enough leave saved up for my back surgery if they don't quit coming up with other things to check out. That MRI on the calf the truck door slammed on back mid December was a waste of time. They ruled out a blood clot a month or so ago with an ultra sound. The MRI indicated a hematoma which is nothing. It will dissapate in time. Now we know why that calf stays swollen.

Once I get my back all fixed with no more of this ridiculous pain, I am not doing any outdoor work that has the slightest possibly of causing me pain. I am done! It has been one year exactly this month that I got up out of bed, then collapsed because the pain was too intense to stand or walk. All I could think was "WTF is happening?"

Hoping this new primary doctor can get me set up really soon for a steroid shot in my spine. Although skepic yes, I am willing to give it a go.

[nhplowboi]

So very, very sad.

Oh geeze…….if it is what I think it is, I am so sorry for your loss.

A year??? Geez. My first bout with sciatica was 7 months and that was torture. I have great empathy for you and wish you the best luck in finding a pain free solution.

For myself, I feel pretty good this morning. I woke before the alarm and house chores are getting done. I only have a half day of work today and it's beautiful weather so I can't complain.

[QueenofSmirks]

Tired, even though my puppies let me "sleep in" until 6:45am :)

Semi-motivated to get things done today, but need more coffee!

I found out the woman I was "seeing" had been lying to me about things, her mom messaged me and let me know she had been arrested.

Kinda pissed off too, at myself, for falling for a hardcore female felon!

[Gemme]

It's too early to tell for sure but I think I feel pretty good.

[RockOn]

Gemme, I want to thank you for your kind words.

Did you have surgery for your sciatic pain? I do not think anyone could know how bad it hurts without having personal experience with it. Funny thing, my back has never hurt me one bit but it is three bulging discs pressing on sciatic nerves in my back causing this pain ... plus a little piece of bone that broke off .... all in lumbar region.

It just came to me ... I believe you told me you did not have surgery but do have flare-ups from time to time. At any rate, take good care of your back and I sure hope your flare-ups are less frequent as well as less painful.

Hugs!

Horrible. J says it sounds like allergies. As far as I know I don't have any but whatever. She's bringing me non-drowsy Benadryl, and here's to hoping it props me up enough to get me through the next three hours. I have things to do, people to see and places to be this afternoon.

I feel sad, angry, and helpless. It is not a good trifecta.

I feel sad. My niece who is five months pregnant lost her baby today. She was in the hospital last week with meningitis. She got out Wednesday and Thursday they said the baby's heartbeat was strong. Today she started bleeding and went into her doctor and there was no heartbeat. They told her to go to the hospital at 7:30 this evening and they would induce labor. I took Mom to go see her. They said it could be between 12-18 hours before she delivers. It just seems terrible she still has to go through all the motions. I cannot imagine how she is feeling. My heart hurts for her. :(

I feel good. A wee bit tired but good. I've got a lot to accomplish today so I better get to it. First up, breakfast. Then finish The Property Brothers I'm watching, do my banking and do some work around home before getting ready and going to run my errands.

Dental Anxiety. New dentist.

It will all be over soon. Oh and, $$$$$

I have some good stuff to report. I had a terrific day with sciatic leg and buttcheek pain until after lunch. I am appreciative of anything.

I was around the back of the building walking on concrete without my rollator and practicing trying to walk normal. I was hobbling a tiny bit but so what ... it thrilled me! I have not walked so well in over a year. I know the back surgery is not avoidable but still to get a half day away from bad pain was great.

Oh ... and I fantasized all morning if I could just hold her, kiss and cuddle her just one time. Of course it will not happen but it gave my spirits a huge lift.

So I had 2 good things going on this morning. :)

[RockOn]

I have to report this. It is 3:30 in the afternoon and only a tiny bit limpy-gimpy! Sciatic pain is not worth mentioning.

I am so amazed and so happy! Very humble and thankful too. I am thinking I will not have to stay in bed all weekend. :)

Feeling on top of the world!
(somersaulting on my way out of this thread)

Happy Friday to All!!

[Bèsame*]

Feeling..

Well, I'm trying not to think about what's going to happen.

So my dentist calls in a prescription for pre-appointment. So I go pick it up. No biggie. UNTIL I bring home 3 of them!

Feeling, anxious, way to early now. (Its like 2 days away!)

[easygoingfemme]

I'm feeling committed and shattered.

Four years ago today I was diagnosed with breast cancer. Usually on this day I take the day off of work and live life to the fullest. I will do that again today. I just have to push myself harder to do so. I took the day off. I will leave shortly for a bike ride, even though it is cold and raining. Then I will go see my daughter because she has her convocation to the honors program at her college tonight and I am so proud of her. I am committing to training well for an upcoming 250 mile fundraiser bike ride for young women facing breast cancer. I am putting one foot in front of the other.

[Gemme]

I'm feeling good right now but I am still riding the waves of endorphins after a good workout. That could change.

[FireSignFemme]

Happy. The roofers are done for the day, Monte no longer on high alert is napping peacefully giving me a much needed break. The weather is as close to perfect as nature can get. Just two more days till direct deposit hits the bank and one of those days is already partially over. Since there's a bit of a slight breeze today the place is cool enough for me to warm dinner in the oven, so no real cooking involved. :) It's a really good day.

[Kätzchen]

Me too, FSF, I had a pretty good day. The weather here is so beautiful, too.

I'm feeling pretty cheerful tonight. Which is so nice. :balloon:

[Gemme]

I'm feeling exhausted. I haven't really stopped moving since about 8 this morning and am realizing exactly how hard I pushed myself. I will be hunting down the ibuprofen tonight.

[cathexis]

Spent three hours today, and similar time yesterday writing in my submissive journal in attempt to chill from techno-domination. My primary email address company thought it had been hacked simply because I logged on from a different device. Also, forgot my FB pw as it's memorized on the primary email site. FB had instructions to resolve the issue, but none of them worked for me. Main obstacle is not having a smart phone or any cell service to receive a text code.

End story is that I now have a second new main email address, and a brand new, squeaky clean FB acct without all my friend and group contacts. Starting over from scratch replacing three years of activity. All of my friends are online. Haven't seen many of them in decades. We, nonetheless, stay in contact based on similar interests or proclivities.

So, I lost contact with all of the support system, save my Dom. TG for Her!
Also, should add those of you who know me here.
It'll get patched up, but for a few hours it was touch and go through a rare panic and crying jag.

[Gemme]

The ibuprofen was moderately successful. I'm still feeling the effects of moving furniture and near constant movement for hours but I got a ton of stuff done and have gotten nearly all of the supplies I will need for my painting project so I feel good about that. It's back to work so I'm less happy about that but it is what it is.

[Greco]

Gemme with your spot-on sense of humor, and your incredible
work ethic...I take my hat off to you, much respect (f).

Well, the dentist saga, sorta ended today. I was there for 2.75 hours. I need to share this with you all, so you can feel my pain..lol


My crown was pulled, another tooth was pulled, and my pretty veneer was drilled off. That took at least an hour and a half. Yeah, the drill.
I had a bone graft
Left and felt many sutures. I have a temp bridge for now.
I have a very attractive droopy lip..lol

I have pills and ice pack for now.

When I left, there was a goody bag waiting for me. Not the usual new toothbrush, but an instant ice pack, gauze and ... a can of Campbell's chicken noodle soup!


I was told not to talk for a few hours..lol. can they really do that??

[FireSignFemme]

Fantastic! I've been watching Unforgettable Golden Buzzer Moments On America's Got Talent. Sometimes it's so nice, refreshing in the middle of this shit storm thing called life, to just sit back, watch people doing their all out level best and then being so happy to see the reaction they're getting from others. I need to watch more of this sort of thing and less of the news, addictively as I do.

[Gemme]

I'm still feeling the effects of Wednesday, which is unlike me. I really got into what I was doing and was hauling large pieces of furniture around by myself like it was nothing so my triceps are whimpering today. Everything else is back to normal but I really must have ticked my tris off.

I didn't get enough sleep so I'm a wee bit groggy and still getting used to the new work schedule isn't helping but other than that, I feel good. And hungry. I'm starting to feel hungry so off I go!

[Orema]

Tired. Will work this weekend and the next. Am glad to have a job I like, but am tired of this conversion project. We have a new internet platform and are moving EVERYTHING to it. Been working on this since early March. Our initial deadline was for March 29 (Har!) and that's been stretched out till May 7, but my work won't be complete till later in May.

I need a few days off for some doctor appts I need to make for mammos and other things old folks need.

Happy that I have not gained any weight during this conversion project, but I'm gonna go to In and Out today for a burger. I might get a protein burger, but I might get the buns.

That's how I'm feeling. Could be better, but could be a lot worse.

:pursebee:

[FireSignFemme]

Really, really good!

[RockOn]

Feeling good today since the nuclear stress test is over. Will get an MRI tomorrow on both lumbar region and the region above it.

On Friday, I will meet doctor at Cardiovascular place. He will discuss results of electricardiogram, ECHO test and the one today (nuclear stress test.) There was a little twitch or something on the heart test in new doctors office mid April and she had to go all out. I don't think it is anything at all. Really!


All I have left is 2 appts with Kidney specialist is June, one for tests, the other one for discussing tests plus a chest parts squisher. Oh please! I am really so tired of my parts being handled by so many people!! I dodged it for 12 years but did go on and do that damn colonoscopy. I lost a body part in round one of the gatorade drinking. Yea, blew my poor butthole right off. It is still circling the moon. That is hella violent medical test. :( The doctor said everything is fine and I will not need it done again for 10 years.

Knocking them out. I guess it is good to get everything ready for back surgery. Course I have blown my leave down pretty low. Maybe surgery in NOV or DEC?? HA!

Soon as the MRI is done, I send it to my back surgeon. In 3 weeks, he will give me appt to come see him for first time. He is a 2 hour drive out of town. He runs in category of top U.S. surgeons so I feel good about my doctor selection. :)

Rock n Roll, let's do it!!! ;)

[Gemme]

I feel pretty good!

[homoe]

F A N T A S T I C..........:hangloose:

[JDeere]

Very conflicted!

My heart is saying one thing, my brain says another.

[RockOn]

Met with doctor at cardiology center ... he said all tests were fine and could schedule back surgery whenever I wanted ... all that leave I used ... I am down to about 10 or 15 hours leave I think (afraid to look right now) ... don't get me wrong, very happy test results said my heart is okay ... did talk to the nurse who helped me before I saw the doctor ... mentioned my back surgeon's name and the nurse said he fixed her sister's bulging discs several years ago ... the surgery was a success and her sister has not experienced any problems ... I liked hearing that info! :)

whoooo hoooo
Happy Weekend to Everyone!

[RebelDyke]

like crap. :crap: that is all.

taking Pete and becoming a hermit
:deepthoughts:

:ohm:

:vigil:

[MsTinkerbelly]

I am sore. I am sore all over my body. I am sore from staying in one place for too long: we move to a higher elevation in 2 weeks, and being here for 8 months has made me lazy!

After “spreading out” for 8 months, I have to get us repacked for the move while my Kasey works.

:fastdraq: damn I hate a whiner!

[kittygrrl]

it feels interesting..at the moment

[FireSignFemme]

Relieved. I couldn't remember which video recommend which cream for feet post chemical bake, blindly tried the one I had most of and lucky guess – it worked! The tops of my feet are still scalded however no more pain and no need to ditch non-prescription route/go for something stronger. I have a doctor's appointment on Monday so if it's not resolved by then I'll be in good hands, seen by someone who will know what to do.

[RockOn]

Feeling good today .... slowly mowing lawns ...

(trying to ignore heat and humidity)

[JDeere]

Still very tired!

[Gemme]

I'm feeling that weird feeling of having slept later than normal in the day so I'm off schedule and at odds but also having needed the sleep due to a late night so I feel rested too.

[FireSignFemme]

Guilty, how stupid. At my age I should be able to stay up past midnight without feeling like I've done something bad. It's not like I've been out drinking like a fish, stumbled home drunk at three in the morning/have to be to work by five and small children's lives are depending on me. Well, I guess fish don't actually drink, but still.

[Gemme]

Rushed. I should have eaten sooner.

[candy_coated_bitch]

Accomplished and hungry.

[JDeere]

Aggravated.

Harris County needs to stop sending me jury summons. And they need to keep records as well, I'm a caregiver, I am exempt from going to jury summons, you dumbasses in office. Also it's a waste of paper and other resources.

[Gemme]

Currently, I'm feeling a little rough while waiting for the water and meds to take effect. Once they do, I'm sure I'll feel much better.

[kittygrrl]

better......

[Gemme]

Better! I got rid of my headache and got both units in the windows and sealed up to my satisfaction. Last night was a late one, unintentionally thanks to YouTube, so I slept late. No alarm so while I've gotten a very late start to the day, I am rested.

[FireSignFemme]

Happy! And considering I'm cutting out sugar and other tasty junk carbs that's amazing!

[kittygrrl]

Really good. I watched a program and learned of a 101 year old man who ran in a marathon for 7 hours straight and not only finished but get this – without huffing and puffing or breaking a sweat! It was so cool. Not only that but he had two spotters, one on each side to make sure he was okay and you could tell they were very protective of him. It's nice to see something in the media that shows men being caring, nurturing and kind for a change. I'm also feeling great because I learned if I do intermitent fasting I can do most of the hungry stuff while I sleep. Yes it's a 12 hour fast but you can sleep through 8 of it, leaving only 4 hours to suffer. Hey I've had children – I can do this!

[easygoingfemme]

I'm okay. It's been a productive weekend. I did tons of yard work with my daughter and mother and that was good for us and my property looks beautiful.

I had friends visit from out of town yesterday and that was nice. We had a good lunch out in the back yard and it was really good to see them.

This morning my family got together to go to my brother's final place of rest. We all brought things to plant. I dug up a few buckets of forget-me-nots from my yard to plant for him. My nephews helped. They were really sweet today.

Now I'm just waiting for my daughter to get home from seeing a friend. We are having a fire in the back yard tonight. The weather is perfect for it.

[candy_coated_bitch]

Well rested. Finally.

[JDeere]

Getting better

Still trying to move on after being fucked over in more ways than one.

[cinnamongrrl]

restless....

I'm getting itchy feet. I want to travel and escape and explore.

Such is the life of a Sagittarius.

But today, nothing feels right. Nothing soothes.

I hate this.

Me, too, though I'm seldom restless. NYC PRIDE and the Dyke Walk are on my mind, but I won't be able to make that one this year. Guess I'll just go to one of the local ones.

Still having neck issues, been having them since I fell down the stairs in February. Even though they ran tests, I just haven't been the same since.

Have you been to a chiropractor?

[JDeere]

Have you been to a chiropractor?

No and I don't trust them to pop my neck. I can't take a chance if they mess up and I become paralyzed.

[Gemme]

No and I don't trust them to pop my neck. I can't take a chance if they mess up and I become paralyzed.

You can ask them not to adjust your neck. They do much more than just that and your chance of being paralyzed is about the same as you going into space, for the record. You're far more likely to be prescribed medicine that will cause you physical harm by a general practitioner than have issues with a good chiropractor.

They aren't for everyone and it pays to do your research but I've had chiropractic care for about half my life now and have never had any issues with any of the chiropractors I've visited.

Unless you opt to give them or maybe an acupuncturist a chance, you'll probably continue to feel this way. I'm truly sorry as I know how bad neck issues can be.

I was in a car accident that jacked up my neck muscles/tendons/ligaments and was constantly in pain for weeks until I got into the chiropractor so know that they do do really wonderful things. I absolutely love my chiro.

I hope that you find something that helps.

[Blade]

Much better than last week. Still not back to work yet maybe Thursday if my oxygen level is up.

[Gemme]

A little weird. Not that that's unusual, as I am a bit of a weirdo, but it's more of a slightly 'off' type feeling. I slept waaaay longer than I have in a long time yesterday and I set my alarm this morning for longer than usual and I wound up sleeping until it went off. I'm not sure my brain knows what to do with all this rest.

:blink:

[MsTinkerbelly]

I haven’t acclimated to the new (7,000ft) elevation yet, so I’m a little breathless when I try to do too much.

[GeorgiaMa'am]

Happier. I was a little unsure of the hotel we selected for our vacation, and have been considering upgrading to a more expensive one. But I found a video review and a vlog online for our original selected hotel, and they were very, very positive. Will be staying in the cheaper hotel and looking forward to it!

[Glenn]

I miss seeing my friend who use to visit me every evening. A wild Raccoon I shared food with for a long time... has mysteriously passed. God Bless you my little one, wherever you may be.(f)

How sweet a story!

I had an opossum take up with me at my former residence. He kept coming inside thru the doggie door. And I kept having to catch him, put him back outside. One morning I was in the bathroom brushing my teeth. When I saw him, I stood perfectly still. He walked right by me, brushed against the back of my legs, hopped in the tub and helped himself to water. They do not see well. I had just gotten out of the shower so he was licking water from that. I finally had to relocate him in the woods miles away. I missed him a lot really but this little fellow quickly became a pest. He wanted to be part of our family. Had he stayed, next thing he would have been piled up on the bed sleeping with us. Not kidding at all!

Here is a video that seems to always be good for a chuckle. ENJOY!!
See link below:

https://youtu.be/bRIVTEBaLkA

By the way ... some factual info:
Opossums are mostly immune to rabies, and in fact, they are eight times less likely to carry rabies compared to wild dogs.

Opossums have superpowers against snakes. They have partial or total immunity to the venom produced by rattlesnakes, cottonmouths and other pit vipers.

Feeling good today and tomorrow is Friday! :)

A bit better!

Just glad the weekend will be here soon and hopefully start back to work within the next 2 weeks.

So, Rock On, finish the story, please. Inquiring minds want to know, I wanna know! What happened to your opossum buddy?
Please no storius interruptus!

[VintageFemme]

Ugh. I hate dating at this age. I used to love it so much too. In recent years it just seems too much effort and nothing comes of it. Either they're not interested or I'm not interested, but any kind of romantic connection just doesn't seem in the cards for me and I'm super sad about it. I had a date tonight that I was hopeful about but in the end, well here I am whining on BFP about it LoL that tells you how it went. I wish I wasn't allergic to cats so I could just 'move into' Grey Gardens.

[RockOn]

Hey cathexis,

As MsTinkerbell pointed out, I took him miles away from my home, freed him in some nice woods.

I guess you want more specifics. Here they are just for you.:)

I put him in a cage, took him to work. I put his cage inside the door but the admin lady couldn't handle it so I found a cool, shady spot for his cage. When I was able to leave, I took him deep into some dense woods and let him go. Seeing him disappear into the bushes caused a softball lump in my throat. I wished him well and to take care of himself. I was really attached to him, he was so funny at times, but I knew I did the right thing.

[C0LLETTE]

So rarely, so very rarely, these days are we given sweet, gentle, touching stories to read. And even when we do not get the final resolution, nothing sappy here, reading the story is pleasure and resolution enough. Thank you, RockOn.

[easygoingfemme]

I'm feeling like...

Wow I just logged in to see I hadn't been here in a week. That's a long time for me.

I feel like, yesterday was so good. I was a stand in parent for my nephew for his field day at school. It was day of hugs and "I love you" on repeat and at the end of the day he was holding my arm and hugging me and saying that he couldn't believe I took a whole day off of work just to be with him. I was like, little dude, you have no clue how much I love you. I'm ready to quit my job and buy you a unicorn.

Alas, I did not quit my job so I have to go there shortly and I have planned poorly and I have a 12-14 hour day ahead and I did not go grocery shopping to even pack a lunch.

[Lyte]

Not keen on cats eh?! Well, since it be due to allergies, I'll not wish a plague on both your houses! :p I like em both... dogs and cats. :koolaid:

It's true. I got my younger nephew a stuffed unicorn - the one from the Despicable Me movies to be specific. When I was checking out at the store some woman came up to me and said, "some little girl is going to be very happy" I was like... "My nephew is going to lose his mind over this unicorn" and he did.

Cautiously Optimistic (about a pending career opportunity) ….

Relieved. I didn't have to stay late at work today, and the end of my project is clearly in sight for tomorrow. Plus, I have two dedicated helpers.

[Lecheloco]

Same here GM I didn’t have to stay late today got home at an unheard of 5

Is it bad that my vacation was in April and I’m already counting down to the 2nd one later this year?

I’m feeling good despite being tired, and now I want a snack

[cathexis]

GM, be thankful that you have somewhere to go and people who rely on you getting something done.

Really miss work. Can't stand being out on Disability, knowing return to work is not ever going to be a possibility with the multiple dislocations and fractures due to a collagen disorder.

Its boring, sitting here watching 📺!

We have a new visitor, though. A fat raccoon that has gone up to the second floor apartment, scattering the trash, and even went inside the third floor one. He went in and climbed inside this dude's garbage can. He's not afraid of people in the least.

I am feeling pretty good. I got a decent amount of sleep last night, which is throwing me off a little bit as I'm used to much less, but it does feel good. I have a lot to do and it's going to be a beautiful day so I'm excited to get started. It's also Pride and I'd love to go but I don't feel like mingling with over 100,000 people by myself. I'll have to plan ahead next year so I can get a gang together to go!

[Kätzchen]

I feel so much better today! :cheerleader:

This past week it was wayyyyy to hot, but thankfully we have cool marine skies today. I also hung out with my two new Lesbian friends (both of butch persuasion) at the washeteria today and learned new things about them. One of them is from Ohio, but her company HQ's is in Minneapolis/St. Paul (land procurement). Really nice person. She told all of us this morning, that she feels led to move back to her home state to be closer to her mom. Boooo! So although we just met last week, I told her we should stay in touch (And, we will :) ).

I also feel terribly lucky: I went thrift store shopping and came up with three well made men's dress shirts (European made) and two pairs of shoes (Dansko clogs, that were never worn, for 9 bucks and leather slides!). Then I found three dressy belts and two silk scarves, so now I have three alternative casual business outfits to wear when it gets super hot here.

Anyhooooo! I feel so much better today! Yay!!! :hk20:

[MrSunshine]

I feel like I have felt better. I had to put my sisters little dog down today. She was really suffering and my sister did not have the heart to do it. I just believe and mercy.There should be more mercy.

Well, shoot, lol, my new pair of green leather clogs are not Dansko's but a Swedish made pair of clogs called Troentorps. Maybe worn once? I'm sure they're a spendy pair of clogs, but they fit my feet perfectly, and I only paid $9.00 for them. What a bargain price, right?

This is what they look like, except mine are a pale shade of Lime, rather than the navy blue colored ones in the picture. But same design. I love em, *lol*. They're gonna be my new favorite pair to wear.

They sell clogs for between $99-$125.

Good buy!

[cinnamongrrl]

Pleasantly tired, deliciously sore.

I had an AMAZING hike <3

[FireSignFemme]

Exhausted and a little sore. I've been sewing most of the day and it's a lot more of a workout than it looks, my shoulders are killing me.

[Lecheloco]

Every time I see this thread I think of The Birdcage when Armand is trying to butch up Albert and asks him about the football game ... How do you think I feel? Betrayed, bewildered... wrong response? :rofl:

Hahaha thank you for this! I am now always going to hear that scene when I post here love love love that movie

I feel really good for having doubled over the weekend and I have already hit the grocery store, mown the grass and made breakfast
Time to relax for the rest of the day. We are supposed to be getting rain quite a bit so I may pop out on the porch later with a cup of coffee and take it in

[easygoingfemme]

Better than the past few days. A little tired. Had a really good therapy session today and made some good choices for myself after that was over.

[Gemme]

I feel okay. Could be worse. Could be better.

Keep up the thrift store bargain hunting. My mom and I started out with me in a stroller.
Bagged the big elephant at age 40+ with a Gucci tote that was authenticated for less than a dollar in rural WI. No idea how it got there, but guess a savvy relative has bought it for an aunt, sister, mom or even spouse. They tossed it to St. Vincent's not knowing it's 950 dollar price tag in 1998.
The clogs look like you have a good pair of shoes that may last you a good long while as you fish through for diamonds in the rough.

I love sitting outside on the porch when it's raining. I'm more of a cup of tea kind of person, though.

I'm feeling some trepidation, because there are 2 more days of this conference to go before all these people leave my tender, loving care (i.e., lots of handholding).

I find more are turning to being a cup of tea kind of person, I tried but my Keurig revolted
GM I hate “hand holding “ I feel your pain


I feel great last night I had an emergency at work and by the time I got in and we r talking 10 minutes shift lead had fixed the problem , said she just watched what I did for another situation and did what I did. Must say I am really happy with whom I put in place my whole crew thinks on their feet like Me.

I also got a kick out of stopping by the Shore shop on My day off in shorts and a T-shirt, My AGM is right the assistant does have a lil crush on Me lol

[RockOn]

Really decent! Very little pain today ... not even worth mentioning! Hooray! :)

[GeorgiaMa'am]

Cautiously optimistic! After 2 p.m. tomorrow, all my charges will leave on their airplanes.

Since you brought it up, we get to ask questions. Do tell. Awhile back, you were embroiled in this ldr with a woman who blew you off and hurt you. You seemed to have a big emotional investment, but it looks like you made not only a rebound, a 3 pointer! Way to go, dude!

We want to know more, though. Some of us are living vicariously right now (myself). Details, give us something to use.

Out with the dirty laundry, we want your dirty laundry.

I am feeling good, came in early today to do some projects and I’m about done.

[Gemme]

I got decent sleep last night so I feel pretty decent. I am getting a little hungry so I should do something about that.

Lol no dirty laundry. I just drink alot and hang out at the neighborhood bars.

Bummer, that's all we get. We get it, you don't kiss and tell. Pleasssee. We wouldn't know her if she sat beside us. Wouldn't know you, but that's not the point lol.

I guess, if you got nuthin', okay. 'Cept, it sounds like you're holding out on us. You wrote a bite about some babe a few days ago if I'm not mistaken. Could be, though.

Y'all have a good weekend! I'll be hanging out on the threads...and probably be dangling by one lol.

[Orema]

Okay. Am having a hard time focusing on work this morning. Don't know why. Gonna go and have an apple and some cheese for a snack. Maybe that will inspire me.

I wanna play hooky and go to the movies .... or go for a ride in my buddy's new orange car—knowing she and I will look cute riding in it.

Its the same chick. And yeah all i do is drink and hang out at the local bars near my house.

[GeorgiaMa'am]

Tired. I'm getting stuff done at work (well, except for this moment while I'm on BFP). But I am worn out from the recent conferences we have hosted. Going home soon for a good long nap - the kind that lasts for most of the weekend. I have tomorrow off! Yay!

When I lived there, many moons ago, I would go to: http://allgo.org/

Nice people, alternative vibe, interesting events. I found it to be an organization with heart.

If I wanted a friend of mine to connect with the best people in Austin (IMHO) I would send them to connect with the "Perez sisters" at La Pena on Congress. They are not out an loud more out and very real in the coolest way.

That name sounds familiar, but I never mingled with them. I'm not sure who they are :) I did have some serious fun with the folks at ALLGO though! I don't know how active they are these days but I really liked them in the day!

I just know there are tons of places here in Htown.

While I'm pretty happy about being off today and extending that through next Monday with some staycation time, I really don't feel like celebrating Independence day all that much. It feels as though every day now we are losing more and more freedoms as Americans, global citizens and most definitely, as women. This thing happening in Washington DC today is nothing more than a campaign and vanity event and that he stole the money from our National Parks to fund it, makes me want to poke toothpicks somewhere! I'm going to shop online all day and then late this afternoon, do a rain dance for the DC area. Other than that, I'm feeling pretty good.

[candy_coated_bitch]

Lucky.......

[JDeere]

Very nervous.... Not as anxious but nervous.

[easygoingfemme]

I feel like my eyes have been violated. I saw things today that I can not unsee.

[RebelDyke]

I should have never taken that nap yesterday across two ottomans. UGH

looking for someone to give me a free massage...anyone.. anyone??

Pete's new office bed..hahah yep that one.

I am the President of the Nappers Club. It's a real group. just sayin: I highly advocate for naps!

[Orema]

Okay, but i could be better.

Gotta go into work tomorrow because I can't access the server from home. I wrote the tech support dept but they ain't even thinking' 'bout my blues on this 4-day holiday weekend. I get it.

It'll give me a reason to stop by Petersons Donuts. Word on the curb is Peterson's is the best. We'll see.

:poc-cool:

[GeorgiaMa'am]

Relieved that my Friday workday is over. Happy it's the weekend again!

[RebelDyke]

feelin pretty damn good atm.

the new apt has such a great energy. Waaaaaaay better than this dreaded landlord I had spent the last year with.

Today he even called me perfect! (hahaha. I told him i am far from it)

Great! I'm in a really good mood.

People were right—Petersons is the best. Fresh, large, almost melts in your mouth. Best sugar donut yet.

Defeated is probably the best word for my feeling today.

Feeling like I'm not being heard. I'll get over it.

[Princess]

Today I am exhausted. It was a productive day but I am ready to hermit for a bit. Too much social interaction at work!

[JDeere]

Tired, hopeful, hungry.

[Kätzchen]

I do not know if I can commit to how I am feeling. Mostly because I feel I should leave space to go in any direction that feels safe.

But, I've been watching (or rather, binge watching - lol, or not) Iron Man: Truth be told, I can totally resonate with what this Marvel Comics superhero once said:

"I need a day when there aren't 20 crises to deal with, but I don't see that coming any time soon" ~ Iron Man.


<<<<<<~~ has been inspired by Iron Man, lately.

[girl_dee]

Sad for New Orleans and my family who still live there.

[Orema]

Better than yesterday. Yesterday was a rough one for me. Full moon and all that jazz.

Expecting today to be better. Have some work to keep me busy for a couple hours then will leave to go and pamper myself with a pedi/mani.

Am fasting today on water, gatorade, and broth ... a cleanse will help bring me out of this funk.

:poc-cool:

[JustLovelyJenn]

Resigned... I am letting the day wash over me and just waiting to see what happens next.

[Orema]

Feeling good. Got lots of rest this weekend and still did most of my chores and errands.

Don’t expect it to be too busy at work this week. May be able to do some organizing and toss away notes and emails from past projects.

Will go through email and make sure I haven’t overlooked anything.

Like I cheated death yet again. Four days ago, my Dom made an Executive Order calling EMS against my personal opinion. Almost ended up with a "breathing tube" to save my
live. She recognized the signs of CHF long before this arrogant 30 year "hot-shit" ICU/ER nurse. I had spent years chiding Her about OB and general med-surg career.I

I blaimed my breathing on an ongoing allergic reaction to the carpet smells/dander from our cats. But hospitals don't pull 12 lbs of fluid from allergies.

CHF, I can't have that. CHF = poor top surgery risk

Guess the advice that the self-diagnosing doctor may be dead wrong might be occasionally correct. Key words: might and occasionally

Feeling like I need to get my head out of the clouds and acknowledge that I must go back to work today after a perfectly lovely vacation.

[FireSignFemme]

Anxious. Unsettled. Though J is confident we'll able to find an affordable place before I have to be back in my apartment I have my doubts. But, LOL, that doesn't mean she isn't determined to try and prove me wrong. My son is more cautiously optimistic. He doesn't think we'll be able to pull things off that quickly but is confident we'll find something affordable before my lease is up. That's in October so the race is on. He's gently encouraging me to try and keep as many things packed once I move back in as I can so we won't have to go through the hard work of boxing everything up again. I will, I don't want to make unnecessary work. Well I suppose it's things like this that anti-anxiety meds are for and why I've been prescribed them. Now how to avoid downing them like Tic Tacs.
