:fastdraq: Anywho, I do hope that you knit quickly and get back on both of your feet. As for myself, I feel worn. Not like a favorite tee that's soft and a little threadbare kind of worn. More like chiseled lines in the face and sweat on the brow kind of worn. I barely made it through my workout tonight as it is and the next 3 days are going to be even hotter and more humid. I have a ton of manual labor to do outside too. Oh, and pissed. I feel pissed because I requested a raise and provided clear and concise facts to support my request. A LOT of them. I got it, but it's so small, it's like a slap in the face. I may have invested some time on Indeed the night I got the news. |
LOL@Gemme....yep that's me and now that
I am wrapped and booted I am going to look for the sympathy/attention vote. I had surgery on it today and had some hardware attached. I was gonna tell the Dr. (but they gorked me out too quick) that at 68 I have never been screwed by a man and you not only did it once but multiple times according to the the report. You must have been gentle because it feels damn good right now but that could just be the nerve block. ;) Oh and to correct my initial post it was Thursday night not Wednesday that I broke it. Now Gemme, please tell your manager I do NOT want to have to hobble down there and crutch beat him to get you an appropriate raise. It's not coming out of his damn paycheck and he should be doing what is right by his good workers. |
Feeling good
nh I am sending you wishes for an almost painless speedy recovery bud. Not nice to retire and get hit with this but what is...is.
I am with you and close to your age and NO man ever here ever. My gynecologest was the first and last LOL Keep well my friend. |
Thank you Stonie for being such a good friend. The nerve block is still working so all is well right now. LOL about retirement. I should have kept the store and stayed busy AND yes, we old timers are a special group.

NH , ugh, sorry it was so bad you needed surgery! Rest up... I'm feeling thankful that I took today off of work, mostly. I have to attend a meeting in a few so I'm on the computer but other than that I'm home free. It's over 100 degrees out and with no air conditioning at work, well, minimal air conditioning, I just couldn't do it. This heat wave has been in the 90s pretty much every day for weeks. Another 10 degrees and ... nope. I have vacation time for a reason. We installed an air conditioner in the basement woodshop where I mostly work this morning and it is heavenly. I've been down there all day creating away. |
The entire family was out of commission for several days with one type of crud or the other. I live in the middle of nowhere with no buses and was too broke for Uber or a taxi. So all I could do for several days was wait to get out of the house, into town, try and make the best of it. Which I was doing a pretty good job of until my computer broke. Actually I broke the screen trying to fix the problem. Worst part, I couldn't tell if I'd fixed the problem or not because I didn't have a screen to check and see if I had. Grrr... I didn't realize how much I'm on this thing until I couldn't be on it.
Anyhow it took some time but my son came with the new monitor set it up, did a diagnostic and congrats I had diagnosed correctly, fixed it all on my own! Yes it really was that five dollar part I suspected, which wouldn't have cost me a thing because he has dozens of them at home just sitting around doing nothing. Grrr... but he gave me an E for effort, didn't grouch, complain, threaten or lecture. He just said – Okay tell me what you did, exactly what you did. It's going to be a lot easier for me to fix it if you do. I promise whatever it was I won't get mad. I was so tempted to sarcastically say - Just tap danced all over it and kicked it for fun you think that might have done something to it? I was only trying to help. He was treating me like such a baby but hey he just bought me a new monitor, lugged it up three flights of stairs in the 100 plus degree heat, installed it, did diagnostics, patted me on the back – good job mom! Ate some of that too much for my own good left over popcorn sitting around tempting me, hauled out two bags of garbage, one of which had a nearly whole watermelon in it, and carted off that old monitor for me on his way out the door. Sometimes a little more appreciation and a whole lot less sarcasm is in order. On top of that everybody got over their crud fairly quickly, and without hearing the costs involved with making a full recovery wouldn't be covered by insurance - pay up. Along with that Monte ate the much healthier for him cat food that costs and arm and a leg he was served up not once but twice so far, without complaint. All things combined today was a really, really good day and I'm feeling grateful, fortunate to have the family I do and a whole lot less irritated with the cat. |
I'm very much at peace in this very moment. I'm in my Mom's room and she has a big window. Its currently storming, lots of lightning and thunder. I finished filing her nails. The cable went out and she fell asleep. It's very calming to be here with her.

quite wonderful...an english muffin w strawberry jam, sublime

Successful! I tried two new things for one woodworking project on my lathe today- a new turning tool and a new turning technique. I turned a beautiful Cedar bowl and am excited about what I learned in the process!
Also relieved that Daddy finished a big hard project that has been hanging over our heads for almost a year and today is a day to celebrate and just feel better without the pressure of it all. |
Miserable! In SOoO much pain!!! This girl has now developed a covered rash. I recently had Covid (am now currently negative) and yesterday I developed a rash all over my face and all over my torso. It is very inflamed and painful, itchy and hot to the touch. I have creams to put on it but might need to go in for a steroid shot if it doesn’t start clearing up in the next couple days. It is all around my eyes and my doctor said if it swells my eyes shut I’m to go to emergency. I can’t stand anything on my body so I’m literally laying in my recliner in front of a rotating fan naked. I have to be off for the next seven days which means I’m going to miss my special training in Anaheim California that was supposed to happen over this weekend. The last time I felt this bad was when I had shingles. This is certainly as bad if not worse than then.
And yes I’ve had all my Covid shots and boosters. My doctor said if I had not had them, I would’ve been much worse off when I got Covid. She said the strain that it’s going around now is so much stronger than when the pandemic first started. Everything has come to a stop with me. I can’t move without inflaming the rash so I have to just sit in this recliner until it stops progressing and begins to decline! I’m so miserable I could cry! |
This last week has been rough. What started out to be (or what I thought to be) a stomach bug landed Me in the ER with the diagnosis of an infection in My blood and decreased kidney function. Today has really been the first day in over a week that I have felt like Myself again and am able to get around without fear of toppling over or driving My car off the road. It was pretty scary I will say that. I am super glad I decided to go to the ER after about 4 days of sickness because it just did not feel like anything that I did was changing anything. So, I am on the mend - and feeling Myself getting stronger each day.
As I side note I just have to say - when something like this happens - and it is very rare that I get really, really sick - it sure does put your mind to work on priorities - and all of that. It also makes you even more grateful for waking up each day as well. |
I feel the less stressed I've felt in a long time. I actually dont think I even remember how this is suppose to feel.
|
Recovered. My COVID rash is gone and I am finally back to work. This second round of COVID left me w some fog but that too will pass. Glad to back amongst the well people again!
|
Well after two something years of dodging the bullet, COVID caught me. Tested positive last night. My case manager at work tested positive last week and I had a feeling that was the one that was going to do me in. It's been too hot at work for us to be wearing the masks and we got slack about it. I'm not feeling too bad and am working from home today. Hoping things stay that way...
|
sleepy....
|
I finally feel back to My old self. To sum it up in a word: relieved.
|
So very happy!
|
Have a potential pinched nerve, so I have pain in left side of neck/shoulder that is radiating simply by breathing and existing. Miserable :confused:
|
The same as 7 days ago!
However, I have a lot on My mind - a whole jumble of things about a lot of different stuff - and that tends to leave Me feeling "off center" which is a feeling I am not a fan of. However, everything happens for a reason - and slow and steady wins the race. It is funny I am a super organized person - however, when it comes to being able to organize My mind... it takes some work. (laughing). |
Feeling
Today I am feeling pretty darn good. I hope it lasts.
|
Just freaking amazing!!!!!
|
Pretty good, physically. Emotionally, I'm a bit stressed.
I'm concerned about my vehicle. It's making serious sounding noises. I have two appointments to get it looked at. One's at a quick lane place that is a subsidiary of the dealership I bought it from, which is the second appointment. Given that they are running weeks behind in service, I'm definitely keeping the dealership appointment, even if the quick lane one goes well. I'm just trying to cover my bases. Other than that, I'm concerned about one of my customers. His car died on my work property and he has nowhere to go so I let him be. His gf is pregnant and has a heart condition so I worry for her. They have pets in the vehicle too, so that's another concern for me. It's definitely not an ideal situation. They are due a payout from her workplace. I hope they get it soon. |
I'm feeling... slow. After having an easy time with COVID two weeks ago I got hit with rebound COVID this week and it kicked my as$. High fever, coughing, couldn't breathe for a while, everything hurt. Been home from work and sleeping a lot this week. Just started to get around better this afternoon. This whole past week is a haze.
|
How are you Feeling?
Other than my arm still paining really bad still from my third shot three weeks ago I am feeling good emotionallly.
|
A bit shaken up. I was almost in a car accident on My way home from My sister's house a little over an hour ago. A guy pulled out in front of Me at a 4 corner/2 way stop and I had the right of way. I had to slam on My brakes and try to control My car around him as he stopped dead instead of continuing to turn. I ended up narrowly missing his car and wound up behind him in the gravel inches from the stop sign that apparently he did not care about.
To make matters worse? He never got out of his vehicle to see how I was or anything - just pulled right out onto the main road and took off. There were two vehicles that were on the opposite side of the road from him at their stop sign that crossed the road and pulled over - they came up to My car to see how I was. Other than feeling like I was going to heave and My heart was going to leave My chest - I feel fine. But, wow. |
Well, not defeated but definitely not 'winning' either.
The initial appointment with my vehicle went well. I needed new brakes and my rotors were warped plus I got an oil change. Then, as I was turning back into work after retrieving my vehicle, the sound that started it all kicked in so I did a U-ey in the middle of the road and went back to the mechanic. They put it back up on the rack and ran it at 40mph, which is when the sound kicks in....it sounds like when you run over the rumble strips on the side of highways designed to help folks stay awake while driving....and they came back with two things they want to take a look at. My back right shocks and my CV axle are now on the agenda for my next appointment. The important thing is that I can still drive around safely...for now...with the sound. My next appointment is just a few days away so it should be fine (famous last words...). |
I was really happy yesterday. I worked with another Rod Stewart fan. Her and I were texting back and forth during the concert. She opened with, " what ever song he is singing, it's my favorite."
Of course, every song is our favorite. She told me yesterday it was like she was there. A virtual concert for her 😊 So yesterday, I shared alllll my videos, pics and sound bites with her. It was fun to keep my emotional concert going an extra few hours. . Then I shared again with my Mom. I know that's going to probably be the last time I will get to share space with him. I sooo enjoyed being there. (and this will be my last post about it....I know I could go on and on....😍 ) |
Exhausted. So, I went to bed as normal last night - fell asleep watching Shawshank Redemption. Well, around 3am the power went out. Now I am a light sleeper and I sleep with a fan on as the "white noise" of it helps Me sleep along with the movement of the air in My bedroom. I got up went to the bathroom checked to make sure things were ok in the house and tried to lay back down.
Needless to say that was not happening. My cats were all confused so they started meowing for their breakfast - so I fed them. Finally, I thought - well - might as well start the day. I have accomplished doing the litter boxes and also cleaning the kitchen so far. However, I feel a nap coming on REAL soon! |

Physically, I got as close to a full night's sleep as I could without actually getting there and it apparently threw my body into some sort of tizzy because I woke up more kinked than a 1mm 019 gauge box chain necklace loose at the bottom of a purse. I'm a bit disappointed because my plan was ambitious to begin with but now, it's not going to happen. On the other hand, I'm going to watch another classic episode of Project Runway sooooo....it's not a total loss. |
Feeling
I am overwhelmed with grief, our blessed Queen Elizabeth 11 has passed away.
|
Finally feeling better after an unwanted 3 week relationship with COVID. It went out with a bang with my breaking out in an auto immune rash response to the virus putting my body on full alert. No amount of Benadryl was touching it. When it got into my eyes and ears I had to consent to steroid treatment. I've had a horrible time with steroids in the past when I've had to take them but I begged for a baby dose and that's what I got and it's working. I'm so relieved to feel better.
|
Kinda like crap to be honest. I broke my back two weeks ago this Sunday and it's been miserable. I'm finally starting to have less pain though but I just want my life back. This has been such a nightmare. It's going to be months before I'm out of this back brace too and I'm moving in November, ugh. And to add insult to injury, three nights ago a ginormous oak tree split and crashed into the side of my apartment building inches away from my living room window. Geezus! Seriously, the damn thing shook the entire building when it happened and I literally thought it was an earthquake. That was pretty scary I have to admit. I was just lying on the sofa resting and healing when bam! I thought the end was here. LoL I really wish I could shave my legs.
|
Feeling pretty good other than I have caught the "procrastination bug" (laughing). I am not sure if there is a cure!
|
Feeling?
I am feeling touched when remembering the 9/11 happenings. What a horrendous day for Americans and those who reached out to comfort them in their time of grief. The terrible loss of so many innocent lives will always be remembered by those affected in their own ways.
I also remember how proud I felt that the people from my home in Newfoundland reached out to comfort, feed and house a plane full of Americans who were downed because of this attack. This is the second time that Newfoundlanders have reached out to our American neighbors in their time of stress and need. It should be so at any time people are in need as Americans help so many people around the world in their time of need as well. When a hand is needed a hand should be given. My true condolences go to the American people for their loss and prayers that this not happen again. |
The birthday week has begun and I feel beyond happy for so many reasons! However, more than feeling happy I feel grateful for those very same reasons.
p.s. The birthday is not till later in the week but this whole week is going to be part of that day- I mean hey, at least I do not take a whole month! (laughing). |
Same ole same ole with Lupus BS
Tired and everything that it entails I see a new dr tomorrow morning so maybe we can get more opinions and tests done and med switch |
Feeling
Not so bad. Spent the weekend with my brother so he made me relax and enjoy the weekend. He is the best.
|
Feeling pretty darn good. This has been a great week so far - and it is going to end even better than it started!!
|
Great and ready to get back to a quazi normal life after the doc told me I can lose my walking cast today. Saturday is my 50th high school class reunion (yep I are old) and will be glad to show up fully footed so to speak. Not sure I will be doing any two stepping but am sure I will still have a great time with the people I grew up with. You know what I mean, reaching back and touching base (ie grounding) with my peeps. Such a gift in these screwed up times.
