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. :)

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.

Like crap!

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

Exhausted. ....

Confused. Bummed. Confused. Bummed.

Not necessarily in that order.

Still upset and angry.

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

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.

So very, very sad.

I am so sorry you are so, so sad.

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.

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

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

Alone and backed into a corner. Like everything in the World is out to get me.
Too much work to do with no assistance
Trapped
Confined in a cage by uncouth, rude, and mean people
...want more...

Very relived, and very blessed.

Sick with the flu and reoccurring sinus problems.

I don't want human interaction as much as i used to. So im staying in my room more than usual.

Feeling extremely happy. Just learned I'm going to have another grandchild.

Bit strange to "thank" someone for telling you they are "gassy" but thanks lol

Shocked total shock.

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!

What wonderful news!

Congratulations :bunchflowers:

Little better today. Isolation in one's apartment works wonders.

I like to hide under the bed.:chocolate:

Thank your lucky stars her mom was on the up and up at least....:hangloose:

Insomnia. :|

back to Gemme
 

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!

You know, perhaps the fact this didn't work out is what is meant by " A Blessing In Disguise"....

Yep better no one than the wrong one.

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. :(

Clay - Thank you for always being so supportive. Your kindness means more than you know.

Gemme - you are right. She ended up having her at 1:47 am. She's still in her room. It's going to be hard to let her go. Thank you, Gemme.
