And how are you feeling?

[Medusa]

I'm feeling ready to start back on my to-do list for the Planet again :)

[MaddieRobbie]

Like I want to drink a bottle of champagne in a bubble bath.

[Orema]

Good. My wrist is healing really well. Had a relapse from trying to lift something too heavy, but other than that things are good. Didn't get any keloids, thank goodness, and the scar blends in well with my dark skin. Am still using the CBD salve and I think it's making a difference.

Have gotten most of the feeling back in my thumb and the feeling is improving on the bottom part of my palm where it meets my wrist.

There's some small scar tissue under my skin on one of the tendons. The doctor said he could remove it, but I don't want any more surgery for now.

[FireSignFemme]

Pretty good. The packing is going a lot quicker than I imagined so it looks like I'll be finished tomorrow or the next. Could probably get it all done today if got up and applied myself but I'm just so worn out, no sense pushing any harder when I don't have be out until the 19th of next month.

[Bèsame*]

Burned.

Literally. I was boiling some chicken that was still stuck together, and as I was prying them apart, the scalding water came up and slashed on me. On my white virgin stomach and some on my wrist. I'm watching blisters appear as I type this. Ouchie, to say the least offensive word !

[Kenna]

Worn out. Long day.
Not happy with the dinner I made.
And too worn out to get upset about my new doctor adding 3 daily doses of fast acting insulin to my already one dose of long acting.
I need a nap and cooler weather.

[Kätzchen]

Today, I feel like a million bucks. I'd like to be able to ride this feeling for a while. :D I love it that you felt like a million bucks, back on the day you posted this post (Nov. 2015).

Today's your birthday, sweet femme friend I know down south, and I hope it's another one of those days that makes you feel like a million bucks.

:balloon:

Happy Birthday to Youuuuuuu, CherryWine :birthday2:

[Bèsame*]

Totally calm today and just a little hungry. It is my regular scheduled lunch time :)

[Gemme]

I feel a tad bit full but the ice cream was worth it. I also feel a bit anxious about my work. I've learned some things that make me wonder if they will close some of our stores. If so, I know I'm okay. I have a larger store that performs well and I manage it well but not everyone is in the same boat and I feel their tension. I'm a bit proponent of transparency and we're not getting that from the top down so the rest of us are getting together and putting together the facts we know and our theories. Bad intel travels fast, unfortunately, and me sitting here, watching One Nation Under Stress probably isn't helping things.

This morning I remembered how, as a kid, I loved fried potatoes with oregano. So, tonight I made some ... in the oven... not quite as delicious as fried but still yummy. Feeling... nostalgic.

My brother and I had a babysitter when we were young who used to make us homemade potato chips after school, and reading what you wrote-- I am wanting to make them sometime! They were soooo good! We would have them while watching television and one day the babysitter said, "What do you say?" - referring to thank you, and my little brother looked up at her so genuinely and said, "I love you." She always teased us about that story when we were older! But I actually think "I love you" is the proper response to someone who makes you homemade potato chips every day!

[JDeere]

Fed up with just about everything.

It may soon be time for a personal week off and go stay with my uncle and his partner in Oklahoma... Get away from all the bullshit.

[Lyte]

Go for it! Homemade chips are the best! :)

saw my neurosurgeon for the 2nd time today ... he reviewed the disc I brought for him ... 2 different types of bone scans I had done AUG 9th per his request

he told me he would not touch my back ... said to go through a rigorous bone and mineral building process for a year or year and a half and then "might" be able to do the surgery ... and by the way, I have to have bolts and screws put in there - no way around dodging metal

here is how he described the surgery if he performed the surgery before a year or year and a half and without good results from the bone and mineral building process --- it would be like hanging a 100 pound picture on a cardboard wall ... --->> my spine would collapse

actually, I am handling this news astonishingly well

I go back to see him in 6 months ... meanwhile, tomorrow I will call my primary physician and tell her I need her to take lead, tell me everything I need to do to hit the ground running with this rebuilding ... she is THE BEST and will put my show on the correct road fast

driving home from the u.a.b. kirkland clinic today, I broke up into an insane fit of laughter ... something came to mind that I have not thought of in probably 55 years or so ...

it probably won't be funny to any of you but will tell the story anyway

Here goes:
You know how really young children (3 or 4 years old) can become extremely excited about something and when they start telling you about it ... suddenly all they can say is "and umm and umm and umm" about half a dozen or so times ... well, I used to do that to Charlie (father) when I was 3 and 4 years old ... he would become so agitated this is what he would say to me while I was dancing from one foot to the other and pulling on one of my fingers still doing the "and ums" ...

it is very goofy --->>>

quoting Charlie:
"Meanwhile back at the ranch, Tonto, unaware the Lone Ranger was disguised as a doorknob and shot his knockers off."


I felt like the Lone Ranger today when I left the doctor appointment. I think shock took me to that giddy, uncontrolled laughter. I was not prepared to hear what this doc told me. That is all.

It is all good and I will get this issue worked out eventually. I am positively certain of that! :)

I wish you lots of luck with your surgery when it does come around and I know you'll do what you need to do to get your spine prepped for it, RockOn. Take it one step at a time and you'll be right as rain in no time.

I feel sad. I went to Avenue today. My local store's supposed to close on Thursday but the store was already half packed up when I got there and they kept on working as I meandered around. They were only told about 3 weeks ago and they were given a date in late September as a final date and then last week they were told they'd close this Thursday. They likely won't see any severance either. I feel so bad for the sales ladies and I also feel a tinge of comradery with what's going on with my own company. I am also trying to put a contingency plan in effect in case something goes sideways with my work.

[Bèsame*]

Feeling kinda lucky compared to my co workers across the land. We were told 3 weeks ago, about all stores closing, probably, in 5-6 weeks. And 2 weeks ago, we found out about a bankruptcy filing. Talk about not being transparent to the people who work hard everyday to keep the business alive.

Last week, some stores were told they had a week left. My opinion, those rents didn't get paid, and they scrambled to close by the end of the month. I'm going to,add a sister manager to my schedule until I close.

I'm part of a 100 store program that was told we were getting more merchandise. This merch is not ours, I'm guessing it's some thing from a different store that is also liquidating. My store had been running profitable. I have enough foot traffic to sell more until the end of next month, when I bet my rent wont get paid.

Very very Leary about a stay till the end bonus. I have filled out employment apps. And hoping my favorite places call me soon.

So if you have a larger Avenue closer, visit them. On line sales will continue until they deplete their stock levels.

I bet what ever is left, will be showing up in Ross, next! Lol

[Orema]

Tired and I don't want to go to work. Took yesterday off, but that didn't give me the rest I need. I need a vacation. Really haven't taken one this year. Took a week off when I hurt my wrist and day here and there, but nothing significant for the time I put in. I'll talk to my manager this week. Labor day is coming up soon, maybe I can take a week off then, or maybe not.

[Esme nha Maire]

A little brighter for hauling my arse out of my flat and treating myself a little, earlier. I'm OK, but have been feeling somewhat meh and rather demotivated for a while now, which results in my spending too much time sat in front of my computer playing games and watching videos and suchlike. Eventually I start feeling eyestrain, headachey and over-tired despite sleeping lots, and thats when I know I have to break the cycle.

So today, I wandered into the "village" (at the time of WW2, apparently, this place was still a village - it's long since been engulfed as the city expanded) to just pootle around the shops, see if there's anything affordable I might like in the charity shops, then - a VERY rare treat - take myself to the local Italian restaurant for dinner.

My word, it's hot out today! I hate days like this , as it means that by the time I get home I'll be drenched in sweat. But it was good to be out of the flat for a while, and looking at things more than a few feet away, and I did find a floral top labelled 100% cotton that looks OK on me going really cheap, so that was a win.

Best of all was sitting in the restaurant facing away from the window. They play Italian easy-listening music there, and the staff are Italian, too, so with a smidge of imagination, I could kid myself that the traffic outside was Lambretta scooters dodging the Fiats and Alfa Romeo's and an occasional Ferrari. Closest I'll ever come to a holiday in Italy!

The food was excellent and the prices very reasonable, by modern standards, and the service superb, as ever. For an hour and a bit, the only thing that could've made me happier would have been to have my dinner interrupted by a nice lass with a twinkle in her eye asking if I'd mind if she joined me...

It did me good, and there's a storm forecast for this afternoon. I hope we get a nice lightning show with it!

[GeorgiaMa'am]

Feeling a little "swampy", as the weather here is quite humid. Even the indoor a/c can't completely counter the dampness in the air.

I had planned to stay inside all day today, but I had to go out to get a prescription filled instead. I thought about stopping by The Avenue while I waited for my script to be filled, but decided against it; I already did that last week and saw everything they had. I spent some money there, and came home and did some more shopping online. I had to use up a gift card online because they would no longer take it in the store. So today while I was waiting, I went to DQ for a turtle Blizzard instead.

I got up this morning at 7:04 am (4 minutes late) to make my FastPass reservations for Disney World in October. Today was the first day that I could make reservations for rides. I was very pleased that I was able to get passes for even the very-hard-to-get attractions without too much trouble. Everything fit into my schedule. I made reservations for boarding Tiny Dog yesterday, who has had all her vaccinations, so now my vacation is all set and I don't have anything else to do but pack and show up.

I took yesterday and today off, so I am pretty well rested, and will head in to work tomorrow morning. I have things to do at work, but nothing pressing (that I know of), so I don't have to worry about that. All I have to do now is hold it together until the upcoming 3-day weekend.

[FireSignFemme]

All things considered, what with moving and all, pretty darn good.

How did you hurt your wrist? I am thinking it is the wrist you had surgery on. Am I right? I am so sorry you are in pain. I can really sympathize with you about that. Hope you will be able to catch up on rest and the pain will go away very soon.

Big Hugs!

[Mopsie]

I'm feeling like maybe I should start going to work in a hazmat suit. I think I caught the stomach virus that's been going around. And I'm pretty annoyed about it cuz I've been taking extra vitamins and washing my hands like crazy all week. *Grumpy*

Thank you, Rocks, and right back atcha. I am doing so good. It was a minor relapse from trying to pick up something heavy. I don’t even need the wrist brace or aspirin anymore. Lucky me and thanks again. :)

Last winter, I took Airborne every day through the whole winter and I never. got. sick. It was awesome! I prefer the chewables (I like the orange better than the berry) cuz I can just chomp on them while making breakfast but I absolutely stand behind the product. Even before I started taking it regularly, if I didn't get enough sleep or a coworker was sick, I'd take a big dose of it and be right as rain.

Obviously, this is in conjunction with washing and sanitizing your hands and using Clorox wipes for all communal surfaces and coughing and sneezing into one's elbow instead of the air, et cetera so on and so forth. That stuff can linger in the same spot up to 3 hours!!!

A sneeze has millions of tiny, microscopic "goblet cells" that spray out into the air! These are what folks pass through immediately after OR hours after, inhale unknowingly, and breathe those same goblet cells into their own nose...here comes the "sickies". THAT is why we suggest to sneeze into a shirt sleeve, hankie, OR elbow. Still wash hands afterwards. Thank you & please?!

[RebelDyke]

Well, following a HUGE storm from last night, (like cellphones are down and internet is still spotty), the building i teach in sustained heavy damages. Like maintenance is still surveying damages and no one knows if we will continue teaching our classes there. We also still had our meeting in that building today, and people were saying it smelled "fishy".

Move forward.. i don't know if it was the power of suggestion or something but now I don't feel so hot. throat is scratchy and swollen, and I'm exhausted but cannot sleep.

I am trying to finish this letter for a student, but am finding it hard to concentrate. It does not help that the renters upstairs are being sooooo loud and playing with their two dobes. ugh. take me away now please.

[Kätzchen]

I had some major dental work done today and my mouth is pretty sore still. Other than the usual body pains and aches (which can be overwhelming some days, lol - or not), I kind of want to say I'm welcoming feelings of rest and inviting some irresistible joy to stay around, for a while. Heaven knows there's so much bad stuff going on in the world, right now.

I just want a little slice of heaven on earth.

To coexist peacefully and watch for more amazing sunsets and shooting stars.

I feel tired, as I should since I've been short on sleep, but I can't turn my brain off just yet so hopefully that will happen soon. I'm not one of those folks who can go to bed and eventually fall asleep. If I'm not sleepy, I won't fall asleep.

Great! My kids are right, I do need to take my medication. How do I know? Simple, it's a helluva lot easier to get along with myself when I do. So imagine how wonderful it must be for them.

I hope so, Ma'am. I went shopping for her and picked up sandwiches for us. She ate a little and then went to throw her sandwich out the front door. I asked what she was doing and she said she didn't want it and was going to feed the dog. We don't have a dog.

[Tuff Stuff]

Tired as fuck. But this journey has just started.

:missing:

[FireSignFemme]

Frazzled, anxious - it's going to be so crazy. Supposedly the construction will be done/all my things moved back by 3PM the on the 27th. The 28th I do the walk through at the new place and if all goes well I'll have the 29th to get moved and the 30th to come back here and clean. I've read online about people having trouble getting their deposits back, failing for things they weren't aware of, later getting a surprise notice demanding payment in full by such and such date. Then landing in collections if they couldn't pay their fines pronto. So I want to get all the cleaning done early that way if something fails I'll have time to fix it. It's really stressing me out. Also, though I've seen simplified drawings, pictures of other places they've built in the past and have a general idea of what I'm getting into, I don't actually know what these apartments look like and, well seeing is believing. Only two other places in my price range have openings, there are long waiting lists everywhere else, and both are in less safe neighborhoods than the one my worker wants me out of so I really can't go wrong - I'm fortunate to be getting into this place. Besides my son told me if at the end of my lease I'm not happy there then they'll help me get into another apartment. That might take awhile but I wouldn't be stuck there. I'm taking everyone's advise and keeping my name on waiting lists at two other apartments. Neither is as nice as where I'm moving to but both are nicer than where I'm at now and I think I could be happy at either if this one doesn't work out.

[C0LLETTE]

Feeling great... no more guilt about shopping at Walmart!

Amazing how businesses are always miles ahead of politicians in terms of gauging public sentiment. Now watch Trump start trying to crawl his greasy way aboard the gun regulation train.

Feeling like all of a sudden I'm behind at work. I keep working on the same stuff, never getting anything completely done. It's progressing, I just can't mark anything off my list.

I'm home from my work trip with no body count or criminal record so I'm feeling proud of myself. I'm also feeling exhausted from surviving the experience. She literally never took more than three seconds between sentences and that was just to take a deep breath.

SAFE! My area has survived a major hurricane. While we will be and are, having 39mph gusts of winds & heavy rains, in bands, or squalls, I am SO relieved we didn't get a major hit as was thought. These squalls will last throughout the day, into late evening. It is still a CAT 2, headed along coast. Headed to SC, NC, and up east coast.

This has been an extremely intense, stressful 5 days. Now the battle fatigue sets in. Breathe in....blow it out..wash, rinse, repeat!

I see a nap in my future today!
Thank you to everyone who has called, texted, messaged me, and sent wishes for this storm to pass on by.

I do have a certain person in my everyday life who is a constant talker, but at least she is aware of it and now it's become a running joke between us.....

[candy_coated_bitch]

Tired, excited, emotional...

[FireSignFemme]

Less stressed. Having to re-pack some of this stuff has put me behind a bit. Today I let go of the idea of getting it all done right and just gave myself permission to get it all done. So I'm just flinging it all together, I'm not even labeling stuff. Everything I need to survive until I'm done moving is set aside, everything else well I'm not working so it isn't like there isn't going to be time to sort it all out, get fussy about it later. I feel burn out coming on so in order to avoid a crash I'm giving myself the day off. It's difficult. Earlier I passed a corn cob pick I must have dropped, went to pick it up off the counter and drop it in a partially filled packing box and had to force myself to stop. Oh just let this moving hell be over. That's my prayer today.

[theoddz]

I'm doing a bit better, these days. It's been just a bit over 3 months since the most recent of my 9 knee surgeries. It was a "revision" surgery, yet in reality, the entire "top", or femoral side of my titanium implant/joint, had to be replaced. The surgery lasted a surprising 7.5 hours, which is considered to be a lot longer than expected. The doctor told us that my tibia is "rotated" by more than a couple of degrees, and he believes that this has been a congenital (since birth) condition that I've had. So, I've been working with physical therapy quite a bit since the surgery and, at the present time, have been using a cane to walk any distance. Here at home, I don't really need the cane, but when I go out, I always take it, just to be sure.

Other than that, I am doing well and feeling pretty good. I'm ready for this hot, hot summer to end, as I'd forgotten how uncomfortable the Southern heat and humidity can be. Funny, but I don't remember it being this intemperate when I was growing up in Savannah, Ga. I'm going to be diggin' the upcoming Fall weather, though. Our new home has a wonderful, large wood burning fireplace and an absolutely gorgeous veranda and portico on the back of our house. My "happy place" is sitting in one of our wooden rocking chairs with a cold glass of sweet iced tea, catching a cool breeze with my lovely Dear Wife. :winky::heartbeat:

For some reason, I didn't feel rested at all when I woke.

:|

I feel your pain, sister.

I have these dreams quite often! Looking all over for a bathroom only to find one with a long line...or one with no doors on the stall and a million people watching...and you try to go, but you can’t because everyone is watching. Lol.

[RebelDyke]

head cold has me K.O.'d. People at work were laughing because I was so over the counter drugged up just to get thru my class. I was leaning on counter tops..

Yes it was that bad, but I could not find anyone to cover my class. UGH. Now others are getting sick too, and well... they are blamin me... Shrugs I have broad shoulders, I can take it. :hamactor:

[CherryWine]

I woke up feeling quite chipper this morning. It’s been a minute.

And, it’s finally Friday, so...:dance1:

[GeorgiaMa'am]

I feel pretty well, today! I got 12 hours of uninterrupted sleep last night. Tiny Dog made it through the night without any more bouts of an upset tummy. Diva Kitty decided to sleep with me all night long on the bed. It was a good sleep.

[Mopsie]

Me too! And boy am I glad it's Friday!!

[Apocalipstic]

Super anxious.

[RebelDyke]

it is amazing what sleep will do for you. After yesterdays OTC drug induced "coma", I was able to get a solid 5 hours of continuous, uninterrupted sleep! woohooo. Not feeling 100% yet, but definitely well rested!

[Chad]

My shoulder still hurts but no more big pain pills and I am happy about that. Thanks to FMLA I am working a reduced work schedule this week.
The shoulder looks pretty gross, I caught a glimpse this morning, looks like the surgeon took a baseball bat to it. Ha!

Otherwise, I am happy.

[Orema]

Good but tired. Will work this weekend, but can work from home, I think. I'll know better later this morning. Will leave work early and stop to get a mani/pedi then back at it tomorrow morning.

Could be worse ... much worse.

:pursebee:

[RebelDyke]

i feel way better than i have been feeling the past two weeks. I feel like my body is finally catching up on the much needed sleep it missed out with the cold/bronchitis/whatever i had......

but exhausted still from maintaining the level of assignments, meetings, teaching responsibilities, as well as, any personal and social relationships... ugh. it's hard

[Orema]

Feeling good because people are working with me and not against me. Makes a world of difference.

Feeling tired. Not crazy tired, but I know I need a vacation. Am thinking of a trip to NYC or the Bahamas this winter, but I really should stay home, get a new knee, and save some money.

Feeling cute because I've got on one of my favorite dresses.

:pursebee:

[JDeere]

Tired...

And over all this rain we have here in Se Texas.

Thanks Imelda lol

[FireSignFemme]

Flipping sore all over, exhausted from moving last batch of boxes around, and hungry!

[Mopsie]

Feeling crappy because I have a migraine.

Feeling grateful that I have a job where I can stay home when I feel crappy.

Feeling hopeful because this is only the third one this month - I think they're getting less often.

[Gemme]

I feel pretty good but am a wee bit tired. This getting up before the sun thing is for the birds.

[Bèsame*]

Feeling pretty klutzy. I kicked the stool in the dressing room. Mind you, not on purpose! I now have a possible broken toe, pretty black and blue, and will be taped together with her sister toes today!

[Gemme]

Ouch! I've broken or sprained many a toe (some of them repeatedly) and it will definitely smart for a little while. Here's to a speedy healing!

[Bèsame*]

bittersweet.

It's down to the last 3 days. ( for you shoppers, 75% today, 80% Saturday and 90% Sunday) My store is so empty,
we are echoing when we talk across the store. This process is hard, after all the hard work.
Its stressful to say the least, like a breakup you didnt see coming.

I called the home office yesterday, before it got super crazy this week. I called to my support team to tell her of my appreciation for being there. It was hard, there was tears. I explained how hard it is to watch your store disappear, she shared with me, the eerie feeling of walking around with empty cubicles.

Yes, bittersweet. Bitter that this even happened,
yet sweet, it's almost over.

[MrSunshine]

Exhausted! Yard work, grilling and cleaning oh my. This heat is stupid!

[Orema]

Stressed, annoyed, and grumpy.

[Mopsie]

Stressed, annoyed, and grumpy.

Me too! Must be that kind of day!

[Esme nha Maire]

Happy, but worn out.

[kittygrrl]

kinda amazing...........

[RebelDyke]

a bit tired,
but definitely seeing the light at the end of the tunnel.

and extremely excited and glad i have the people and support around me. I could not have done it without them

[GeorgiaMa'am]

Relieved this week is over, and ready to get on to the business of sleeping.

[RebelDyke]

completely and totally excited!!! big storm is rolling thru, and while it can be so destructive, it is also exciting and comforting.

For any one who really knows me know my reasons why i love a good storm!

[Kätzchen]

…. Serene: Contentment, joy and peace fill my life tonight.

[Orema]

New day, new way, and all that jazz.

I'm back in the office.

This is usually the time of year our department starts to wind down. Not this year, we have some legal issues with which we must comply and we'll be on full blast for the rest of the year.

I'm feeling okay but I'd be much better if I was in Hawaii and on the beach with a good book and one of those drinks with an umbrella in it.

[RockOn]

Feeling great - both physically and mentally! :)

[Gemme]

Annoyed. I have a fever and have had a sore throat all day. I'm fighting it with immunity boosters, hydration and (mostly) good food. If I find the person that gave me these cooties, I'mma gonna beat 'em.

Gemme, you didn't get your cootie shot? Did you think they'd been eradicated since you were a little kid?
All the nurses in my family thought they'd been wiped out years ago too, but one by one we got cooties a few years back. Now, in addition to the other seasonal vaccinations, we get our cootie shots.
Promise us you'll get your cootie shot once you're well.

Kidding aside, really hope you are on a fast mend, and are well before too long. Rest and the other measures you noted should do the trick

Get Well, Soon. We Zombies need you in tip top shape, as does the rest of BFP!

[kittygrrl]

a little sleepy..it's raining

Ha! The shot wouldn't work anyway. I think these are Canadian cooties. My coworker took a long weekend in Montreal and a few days later, I get sick. Coincidence; I think NOT!

I got sick around this time last year too and wound up sickness free through the entire winter, so maybe it's the beginning of a strange tradition of sorts. I don't mind if that's the trade off but I have to be cootie free before the 12th because I have a huuuuuuge art festival to attend and I'm not missing it this year (skipped it last year because I wasn't fully cootie-free).

*stomps foot gently as not to aggravate my headache*

[RebelDyke]

Someone once asked me why I abuse myself. I was pretty shocked, but thought about it more, and realized....I guess i kinda do with the amount of work, teaching, schooling I do. SO, i made the decision today on the way home from one of my many jobs that...

It is going to feel so good turning in my two week notice to the least paying (but most reliable) job. It will definitely give me less of a headache and more free time to relax and prepare for praxis.

YEAH! small jump for joy

[GeorgiaMa'am]

Accomplished! I got quite a lot done this weekend.

Also, I have an itchy eyeball. I scratched my cornea and it's taking a while to heal. I've done this before, and I can usually only feel it for about a day, but this has been going on for about a week. I got antibiotic drops for it on Wednesday. I also got some really expensive artificial tears that are preservative free that the eye doctor told me about, but I can't tell that they make much difference. Certainly not $17 worth of a difference. And, I am tired of wearing my glasses instead of contacts.

[FireSignFemme]

Glad to be done moving, happy to be in the new place. Exhausted, even with help this was hard work. Grateful I had people willing to help me, I could not have done this alone.

[Esme nha Maire]

Annoyed and a little upset. I zonked out (fell asleep unexpectedly) and missed an arranged chat with my sis as a result! Particularly annoyed as i;d had a lovely day up to that point.

[RebelDyke]

groggy and a bit overwhelmed. I have had to take allergy meds because of the construction I am doing as a precautionary measure to not wanting to wake up with a headache/sinus issues. Yet still keep a tight schedule. BUT my 1pm meeting cancelled so I am very happy I can go back to bed

[Gemme]

I feel better today, so that makes me happy.

[Esme nha Maire]

Anxious and upset. Had a bit of a meltdown at college about something that wasnt explaiend well in a module I would never do voluntarily and feared I wouldnt be able to do because I just dont have the mindset for it. Its been explained better now, but I havennt got over the upset yet.

[Orema]

Good and relieved. I need to have some dental work done and it’s been stressing me out. My dentist retired a year or so ago and I’ve gotten bad reports on the dentist he recommends. So, I decided to get three quotes from three dentists in my area. So glad I did. I’m going with third dentist I met today. She’s experienced and her rates are reasonable, I like her bed/side or chair/side manner, she’s given me some good options, she quickly identified the problems and even found a problem the other dentists had missed (or they didn’t mention it).

We start work next Thursday.

[easygoingfemme]

Ready........

[Gemme]

I feel better today, so that makes me happy.

Nix that; it was only temporary. Back to coughing up a lung today.

[JDeere]

Tired...

Not getting enough actual rest is weighing down on me. I will be glad when I start work again, get back on a real sleep schedule.

[FireSignFemme]

Happy. Despite learning I can't measure cupboards and cabinets correctly to save my life so far it's been a pretty good day. These are the type that close almost by themselves and do so quietly. I didn't think I'd like them when a friend showed me hers but after working in the kitchen with them quite a bit today I found I actually really do. I can be forgetful so it's nice they “remember” for me and I'm not running into them during absent minded and/or forgetful moments.

[cathexis]

The antibiotics that I have been taking for this past year to save my leg are reaching the max. course. I was in the hospital for 5 months last year with surgery 4 times on my leg. In the hospital, I was on IV strong antibiotics. Medicare wouldn't pay for the IV ones at home. Hence, the oral antibiotics (2 heavy duty) are continuing. I have osteomylitis, diarrhea each time eat and spontaneously (must wear an incontinence brief, if out for awhile)

The package comes with yeast infections in the obvious areas, skin folds, mouth/throat with crusty sides of mouth. So, I also take daily Diflucan (anti-yeast) as well.

Now I face a decision of taking the antibiotics with leaving the hardware in my knee or have them take the hardware out risking the area from the knee down break and splinter with use, due to osteoporosis, and the removal of multiple screws and the supporting plate. The docs give me odds. Percentages that this or that major problem will occur. One or the other is very likely. It's possible that the major infection will ensue, continued.
This is all pretty unnerving and worrysome. :canoworms:

[Chad]

I feel good. I have two more months of physical therapy but I can tell that my shoulder is healing. I enjoy PT and look forward to it everyday. The therapists are kind and caring to me. Most of all we make it fun and they laugh at my silly jokes. I made good friends there.

:cowboy:

[Orema]

Okay. Am in the office and will probably be here for awhile wrapping up this project, but I have the next three days off and am jack happy about that.

When I go home today I'm gonna try to do most of my chores so I can really relax over the next few days, but that probably ain't gonna happen.

I often have big plans in the morning. Sometime they happen, sometimes they don't. Such is life.

:pursebee:

[RockOn]

feeling good, tired from working outdoors all day ... just ate an AMY's vegan burrito with couple glasses soy milk ... will take a nap now with the pups ...

check me out ...

my sciatic right butt and right leg pain has been so reasonable today ... I have not taken any ibuprofen since 6:00 a.m. ... unbelievable to me
because I worked pretty hard today ... just careful about not lifting anything too heavy ... I have really been exercising (PT at home) lots
more to strenthen my core and it seems to be extremely helpful ... maybe those discs are healing themselves ... who could know? I am so so thankful!! :)

Happy Saturday to Everyone! *grin*

A bit devilish..........

I say go for it!!

[Orema]

Feeling old today and I usually don't feel old.

Think it's because today would be my mother's 100th birthday and it's my 20th anniversary officially working onsite and not as a freelancer with this company. And I'm a little tired.

Just a different feeling for me and I wonder how long it'll last—but it's all good.

:pursebee:

[FireSignFemme]

Cranky and subversive. I still have no computer audio and I'm wondering if I crumple up some dark construction paper and place that in the bottom of the trick or treat bowl and then carefully, artfully arrange the crummy filler candy over the really good mini candy bars still left, the bowl will still look really full, untouched tomorrow when J shows up to police me because she's only trying to look after me and safeguard my interests.

[Stone-Butch]

Just got back from shopping and still feel weak and aching from the accident. Went to visit my baby in the repair shop hospital but she is still in intensive care. At least they are getting her on the mend. Could be two more weeks they say. I should go for a message as I ache all over. Pity party for Stone.

[JDeere]

Still sick. Its been over a week but on meds etc.

[Lyte]

Pretty shitty actually. For one brief moment you think something fucked up is going to get fixed ... but no... still fucked up and now just a lil bit more fucked up.

That is all...

Lyte, sounds like you're going through a REALLY bad patch. I don't f-bomb (esp. that much) unless my live is exploding.

[Lyte]

Sometimes "fuck" is the most accurate term and therefore the most appropriate adjective... adverb... noun... verb... et al ... for the moment.

Naw... no explosions and not the whole life... just one small corner that's not within my control anyway. So, it gets one WTF post and I'm done. :koolaid:

[Gemme]

I'm feeling a wee bit gluttonous so I guess I'll stop noshing.

[RebelDyke]

I have a consistent and steady level of anxiety and stress ATM..working to finish comps and speed reading the book after book after lecture trying to find EVERYTHING they are looking for... rubbing my temples and my neck

a massage would be really nice right about now

[~ocean]

shakey ~ I hate being on prednisone

[clay]

The new med regimen to control my AFib is kicking my butt. It is designed to 1. lower heart rate & lower BP. I have to add a water pill & potassium supplement in also. At least my ankles aren't "cankles" anymore....:)/

My BP will drop way down then hopefully level off soon.

[FireSignFemme]

Fantastic! I'm settling into the new place and despite my initial reservations things are going great. I love it here!!!

[Gemme]

I feel good but am starting to get sleepy. Won't be long now and since I have tomorrow off, I can turn the phone off and wake without my alarm.

[JDeere]

Feeling a bit better.

[Orema]

Tired and not in the holiday spirit. I’ll dress up in my scrubs and stethoscope but will be at my desk most of the day working.

Feeling fat cause I’ve gained some pounds while working these marathon hours.

Concerned about fire season because eventually the fires will make their way to this area.

[Gemme]

I feel good but am starting to get sleepy. Won't be long now and since I have tomorrow off, I can turn the phone off and wake without my alarm.

I did this and feel great! I do wish I got to bed earlier so I could have more of the morning to get stuff done but overall, I feel great.

[JDeere]

Grateful but still feel like death warmed over.

[Gemme]

Super not great. I've spent most of my evening cleaning vomit and bile out of the carpet. Thanks, Lok.

[Chad]

I feel pretty good. Got my project award last week and special gifts. I am taking my projects show on the road with lots of presentations.

I still have chronic pain from my surgery but I am working through it.

:flying:

[Gemme]

There was no vomit waiting when I got home today. I feel amazing!

[Orema]

Pretty good though I haven't looked at the changes needed on my project. Till then, I'm good.

Have been in the office for over two hours and have been doing what I want to do. :) Organizing folders, updating spreadsheets, answering emails, and some basic office cleaning. Am done with that and am goofing off on the Internets before putting my shoulder to the wheel.

I wanna go see The Irishman and today would be the perfect day to play hooky, but the closest movie house that's showing it is 30 miles away. I'm not even driving that far and not really interested in what's playing nearby.

Guess I'll just stay where I'm at, do what's expected of me, and be grateful.

If you can just hang in there a few more weeks.......

Netflix released The Irishman with a limited theatrical release (Nov 1st) in order to meet the requirements for Oscars consideration, but then the three-plus hour epic will finally be made available for streaming worldwide on Netflix three weeks later on November 27.

Patience's is NOT my strong suit and I'm usually the type that needs instant gratification but I'm doing my best to wait until the 27th so I can view this in the comfort of my own home without the distraction of people's chatter, rustling of candy wrappers, rings/white lights from cell phones, etc etc

I like seeing most movies at home, but this is one I want to see on a bigger screen because I think this is their swan song to the gangster genre (their being Scorsese, DeNiro, Pesci, and Pacino). Not sure I’m gonna like this new technique of digitally altering their looks/age, but reviewers say it’s worth watching whether or not you like that technology.

I don’t think there’ll be much chatter from people who intentionally pay to see a 3+ hour movie, but you never know.

Pesci is supposed to be exceptionally good—subtle but powerful.

Wherever I see it, I think I’m in for a treat.

I have a weird pesky cough. Seems allergies?
My wellness visit is Thursday, so I will ask the doc then. :hamactor:

[GeorgiaMa'am]

Accomplished and fortunate. I made it to work today for the first time in three weeks, and it was pretty easy to jump right back in. My kind coworkers had held things together for me, so I did not come back to a desk full of late projects. Plus, I was able to finish a lot of work today.

[Kätzchen]

I got home tonight and picked up my mail and I got my monthly power bill, which made me smile when I saw that I still have credit on my account and that my power usage was very low (I use LED and green technology).

And... I gave out the swag bag gifts today and smiled when I was thanked for being thoughtful of my co-workers. The smiles that came over their faces was worth the smile I felt deep down in my heart.

:stillheart:

So I'm feeling good.

An Advisory from many Physicians and Pharmacists
_________________________________________

The word around the medical community is the flu season coming up may be worse than the past years'. CDC gets its predictions from areas of the World that have already had their flu season. Rumors abound that it will be similar to the 1918 Influenza Pandemic. That's probably BS, but I got my inoculation a couple of weeks ago at my Infectious Disease doc's office, anyway. Heard the rumor about a bad year from the doc and his staff while we standing around chatting.

Frustrated and weary.

[GeorgiaMa'am]

Sad, incredibly sad. I am weeping at my desk and trying to hide behind my monitors so no one will notice.

I made the mistake of looking at the pet shelter animals online. I miss my dog so much. I can't replace her, of course, but I can't help thinking it would be easier for me to get through this whole cancer episode if I had a dog. (Sorry, Diva Kitty, I love you but you're just not the same as a dog.)

So many of the animals look so sad. I can't save them all. So many of them are older pets - who could get rid of their older pet? Some people just don't deserve pets.

In a perfect world, every dog would have a home, and every home would have a dog.

I guess in order to get a dog, I'm going to have to go through the strain and heartbreak of visiting the shelter. And what if I don't bond with one on the first try? I'll have to go back. And that will break my heart, every time.

(Sorry, Diva Kitty, I love you but you're just not the same as a dog.)

So many of the animals look so sad. I can't save them all. So many of them are older pets - who could get rid of their older pet? Some people just don't deserve pets.

In a perfect world, every dog would have a home, and every home would have a dog.

I guess in order to get a dog, I'm going to have to go through the strain and heartbreak of visiting the shelter. And what if I don't bond with one on the first try? I'll have to go back. And that will break my heart, every time.

But think, if you do go once or twice or ten times, all the babies you love on will experience that joy and if you find the one that helps heal your heart, that will make all the difference to that dog. If you feel you are ready to start that journey, go for it! You can't help them all but you can be the world of the one you can help.

I have had a horrible allergy/sinus headache for 2 days now. I hope it goes away soon.

:sigh:

Hey Miss kitty... inquiring minds want to know..... how was that amazing looking pancake!?!? :hangloose:

[GeorgiaMa'am]

Pretty perturbed and anxious. A coworker made me that way.

[RebelDyke]

i feel... free now.. thank you.

This is very unusual for me but I'm feeling a bit down and even possibly depressed.

A bit off-kilter...

[JDeere]

Exhausted but getting excited for Thursday!

Going to my exs house. Get to see the kids!

[Orema]

Overworked and grumpy.

Thank goodness people are leaving me to myself.

The best part of my day, so far, has been a visit with my dentist, but the day is young.

I know, it's sad. I've experienced that feeling of, "Oh, this is a moment to relax!" while waiting in the dentist's chair.

[Chad]

I feel so happy. No specific reason why just really happy. I know that I am loved and that I am blessed with sweet and kind friends. I feel how special my life is.

:cowboy:

[Orema]

Good. Just finished Phase 1 of this year-end project I'm working on. I've had one (or maybe two) days off since Thanksgiving. Phase 1 was the hardest part and it was all up hill. Phases 2 and 3 will be relatively easy. Our deadline is Jan 2 and we are on schedule. For us to meet this deadline we had to be finished with Phase 1 today or people would have to work on Christmas. Yay for us.

I'll take some time off in January—at least a week, probably two. Was thinking of taking a vacation to a beach area (Cabo or Maui—at the end of long days I've been searching for vacation spots :)) but I think I'm gonna stay home, maybe have a morning at a nearby spa, and enjoy my femme cave. Though I would enjoy a train ride to somewhere nice. We'll see.

Life is good.

:pursebee:

[Orema]

Anxious. Just finished a mandatory Active Shooter online course. Had to complete it by the end of the year. Lots of triggers, no pun intended. Will try to work later today but now I don't even want to think about work.

Think I'll go prep some food.

[Kätzchen]

A mixture of feelings: Pensive, deep thoughts about troubling behaviors I see by members of my biological family; somewhat anxious too because getting up early for work is wearisome and hard on me (at times).

Other than these few things I have on my mind, I feel an aura of contentment.

[Gemme]

I feel pretty good tonight.

[easygoingfemme]

I'm putting on my "can do" pants and plan to kill it today. I have a lot to do both at work and in my outside of work needs. It's cold and pouring rain. I'm thankful to have good waterproof boots and some flexibility in my day (hopefully)

[homoe]

~~~
Fine although I do have a doctors appointment later today..

[Orema]

Good, rested, and ready for this work day.

:pursebee:

[GeorgiaMa'am]

Sneezy and stuffy. I am allergic to something in this house. It all started when the boy was taking a shower. I'm thinking it's his new body wash.

[Orema]

Tired. My eyes are tried. I should have taken more breaks today? Will leave work in a few minutes.

[Gemme]

I'm very glad that I have tomorrow off. I will sleep late, stay in my pajamas all day and will only go outside to put out the recycling, cat poop and trash.

Happy New Year to ME!!!

[Chad]

Today I finished physical therapy. It was the end of my time with my natural healer. That squeezed my heart a lot. He took me from having a useless arm back to health in record time. We grew from doctor - patient to dear friends. I wrote him a thank you note similar to the song to Sir With Love and a gift to take his wife out for a nice meal. My heart will miss him in 2020. What a great experience that came from me falling down. We shared a great hug and both cried a little. How do I thank someone for all that he did for me then turn away and walk out. So hard. It's like walking away from yumminess, like your best friend, and like happiness.

[FireSignFemme]

Hopeful, happy, excited about what the year ahead might possibly hold.

[Gemme]

Good. Let's do the damn thing!

Fit as a fiddle.........

[FireSignFemme]

A little nervous, big windstorms the past three days. It's mild tonight compared to the the other two but last night the winds were so strong and wild it looked like Mother Nature was going to rip the carport roofs off and start flinging them around like giant Frisbees. I let management know but could tell it didn't make a bit of difference. It will when vehicles get damaged, someone is injured or both, and the lawsuits start pouring in. Well I hope I'm wrong. It's just in the past people who have failed to heed my warnings have died because they didn't. I'm not saying they should because I'm any kind of great prophetess but come on please people use your brain and employ a little common sense I mean how the hell could that be so difficult? All they've got to do is have maintenance drive by in one of their golf carts and give it a look. They don't even have to get out. I don't know, sometimes it seems like some people have come to this planet specifically to die needlessly for stupid reasons. Maybe it's their karma and instead of giving damn I should just quietly watch them park.

[Kätzchen]

Very concerned.

It's hard to feel content or happy or experience any sort of positive feelings when that JackA$$ of the century (and all the JA-GOP senators and shadow advisors from the lunatic wing) has just set the stage for the end of the world.

Very, very concerned.

[Chad]

I feel great!

King of my world.

Accomplished VERY Accomplished.....

[Gemme]

I feel like I should have stopped eating root beer barrels earlier.

[GeorgiaMa'am]

Chilly. I am rethinking keeping my heat on 68 all the time. I know, I could just wear a sweater.

[firecat242]

Sick. Fighting the flu and it's winning!!

[Orema]

Tired. Looking forward to catching up on sleep.

[JDeere]

Pained...

Having an allergic reaction to something

Toothache too

[RockOn]

Feeling good with energy. :)

Went to bed New Years Eve early and stayed in bed mostly for several days. The flu bug around here has been thru the entire dept at work. Group 1 had it during Christmas ... Group 2 made the round New Year's.

Hope everyone is remembering to wash their hands with the santisizer ( <<<---- incorrect spelling and too lazy to fix) stuff often. (keyword = OFTEN)

[Gemme]

I'm feeling pretty good. It's getting close to bedtime so I'm starting to get a little sleepy as well.

[JustLovelyJenn]

I am feeling blessed... and motivated for change.

[TL1]

Pretty damn good at the moment! Life has changed quite a bit. And it’s all good.

[GeorgiaMa'am]

Anxious - like, I need medication or I won't get to sleep. My mind is whirling.

[Chad]

I feel really happy.

I had great chats with some of my friends last night and that made me feel yummy.

:cowboy:

[Gemme]

I feel good. I feel full. I feel a bit sloshy too. 7 glasses of water can do that to you.

:blink:

[GeorgiaMa'am]

I feel creative! I enjoy putting together my outfits for the week on Sundays. Later I will probably color some, too.

[Chad]

I feel even happier than this morning.
I have lots of friend visits set up for this month. Including my buddy of almost 30 years.

Yay me!

[nhplowboi]

Good! Called my cousin who always sends me See's chocolates for Christmas to thank him. His son was there (they were watching the KS/Houston game) so I was able to speak with him, who I am actually closer with. Here..... we had a 60 degree day, with sun, in the middle of January?? Just a nice easy day to deal with.

60 degrees AND sun, rub it in!

[Chad]

I feel excited. My friend of 35 years is coming from Hawaii for a visit. She is a Texan but now lives in Hawaii. I think she is a member here too. She is an infamous artist from Manhattan, NY and a Swiss trained chef. I love cooking with her.
Lastly, she decorated my house. Maybe she will choose to make some changes.

:cowboy:

[PlatinumPearl]

Well rested. I slept a good 8 hours and feel recharged despite the colourful dreams I had.

I realize you'll be busy when your company arrives, BUT if you're able would you post regarding any cooking the two of you do?

I feel settled. I feel secure. For the first time in years... I feel hopeful and happy.

[kittygrrl]

feeling better, thank goodness

[easygoingfemme]

I feel like I ran a mental marathon today and like I need to get ready to do it again tomorrow but there's still a 5k to run tonight.

[Gemme]

I feel tired. I worked on very little sleep today, had a medical thing, ran into the grocery store for a few things and found a lot more than I needed, chose not to get gas tonight since that station just filled up so the silt hasn't fully settled yet, fed the cats and then fed my face. Did I mention that I'm tired?

Like I said Homoe, it has been ROUGH for you this year! I am sure our day/month is coming. How do you like living in a WC New England?
On and DON'T forget the Sees. LOL

[Bèsame*]

my mind and well being says...ahhhh


My body says....ouch!

[GeorgiaMa'am]

My mind is in pretty good shape, considering I forgot to take all of my medications this morning.

OMG I hate snow! I'm feeling bitchy...

[RebelDyke]

exhausted....because i over work myself... but that seems to be my M.O.

[RebelDyke]

nervous....exited...but mostly nercited (no that's not a real word).....but...it is because in two months... she will be here.. and all moved in!

[Chad]

Not my best day. Missing my freedom.

[RebelDyke]

totally overly excited. Had a great first week of classes (albeit, my own classes were overwhelming) but I KNOW FOR A FACT i will be FINALLY getting my class ring after months of debacles. Sigh.

Looking forward to this week even though it is short! I am also glad and feel it was a very wise decision to maintain two apartments this semester. It will definitely help with mine and Pete's mental health.

[Bèsame*]

I feel hungry!!

What's for lunch?

[GeorgiaMa'am]

I'm feeling pretty chilly! I absentmindedly left all my vents closed while I was gone over the weekend. Now I'm waiting for the house to warm up. Poor kitty! I'm surprised I didn't come home to a popsicle.

[Kätzchen]

I'm feeling hungry.

I know it's late, but it's been a busy day and I finally realized that it's time to eat something.

:moonstars:

[JustLovelyJenn]

Contemplative.... a little lost...

[GeorgiaMa'am]

Compelled to listen to the impeachment hearings, but determined to stop listening before it drives me crazy.

[easygoingfemme]

Feeling like I made a lot of good choices today.

[GeorgiaMa'am]

A little guilty*, like I should get some work done instead of fooling around on the Planet.

*but not very

[GeorgiaMa'am]

Freezing cold! Why is it so cold in this office? We have the thermostat turned all the way up. I have my hoodie on. :cold:

[FireSignFemme]

Upbeat, optimistic and cheerful!
