Something has happened to my Oracle SQL Developer software tool here at work. It is so screwy, won't let go of my data. It will show it to me ... playing the tease ... the data I am attempting to extract (export) from it is perfect but won't let me have it. I wired up a convaluted (spelling???) umpteen step process that tricked it into letting me have just one. Now I need 8 more. I am not doing that 8 more times. I am too old to work that hard for it. There is an easier way ... duhhhhh ... like unstalling and reinstalling the executable. Sounds like a good plan! I will have to go into stealth mode. The DBAs are at the Christmas luncheon, prime time for me to go undercover ... they like for NO ONE but them to do any Oracle work like this.

... tipping out to do the "dirty" quiet as a mouse, raising my eyebrows and with fore finger up to lips emittimg a low key "shhhhhhhhh"

;)
having fun playing goofy now

Thanks RockOn, that is seriously good advice.

I'm looking forward to going home today and baking Christmas cookies. Today's batch will be Butter Pecan Crescents.

I'm looking forward to when our afternoon errands are done and out of the way!

Getting this storm behind us. We (NC) have had enough weather issues this year

I know! Lol now they are saying up to 7 inches of snow where I am. Of course that could change because it’s always changing but geez. These people do not know how to drive in snow. But regardless it’s supposed to be mixed with freezing rain so it’ll be iced over. Greeaaatttt
Surprised it’s happening this early here. Crazy weather this year!

Looking forward to the weekend!

I’m looking forward to spending a low-key, rainy, cold weekend snuggled up with my love...watching Christmas movies and maybe doing a little baking.

The days where I don't hurt or ache in my feet.

A look into the future***

The story goes like this: She's great ... and I'm a grumpy frog.
Hopefully, a midnight kiss will break the curse on me and I will become that prince of shining armour for her.

But, what am I saying?! No; It's not that she needs a valiant prince, nor that I pretend to be one.. that's there just for the dramatic effect in the prose...you know, that one effect that Walt Disney and Hallmark had teaches us all so well.

However, I pray, I hope and I work each day to became a better me ... and, if I am lucky enough, those "you" and "I" will then became an "Us." A healthy, happy and strong "Us" without stopping of being, you and I.

So, come on soon midnight kiss! Come to open those new paths in the journey of life! I'm looking forward for you...I'm looking forward to the encounter with the magic I know you'll bring...Im yearning for you now, and in that new day; the one that will be the precursor of many dawns ahead.

I want you to try this.

Get your legs and feet really warm first thing before you try walking.

This has helped me tremendously. I know our aches and injuries in our legs and feet are not the same but I still hope you will give it a shot.

My sciatic pain is totally gone from left hip to toes. The right one continues to very, very slowly improve. I found out that cold weather increases that pain. I won't attempt to walk on these cold mornings until I get my right hip to my toes very warm. Recently I bought my pocket pittie a full size electric blanket so I just scoot over, snuggle to her, turn the blanket on high and can walk fine after the right leg is toasty warm. Otherwise, I literally bounce off the walls in horrible pain.

My physical therapist has me building my core to support the lower discs the doc wanted to surgically correct. I think by Spring or Summer I will be done with this pain but will always have to continue the exercises that keep my stomach muscles hard and tight --->>>> keeps the pressure off that sciatic nerve.

If this does not help, I hope you find something that will.

Best Wishes!

Will try this! Mine is a mix of plantar fasciitis and sciatic nerve damage.

Tomorrow! Family members are throwing me a belated birthday party. I don't know what is on the menu, but I do know J made me a white cake with buttercream frosting – from scratch!

Winter break

Spending the holiday with my sister-in-law, going to the coast after the holidays and enjoying quiet evenings working on art projects (healing activities).

The house being done and decorations taken down. It looks like xmas puked a huge mess all over the house.

A whole week of DRY WEATHER!!!

......:grinch:............

Next weekend... the first run away mini vacation with my girl

Yup! I like the holidays but the stress that it puts on my mom and my dad as well as myself is not worth it!
