    Hey there everyone -

    Fi - I hope you are able to manage the stairs today. Thank goodness you have your sweet kitties to warm your lap

    EasySpirit - you said Hi to all of us but didn't say how you are doing

    Kathleen - again, it was so good to hear from you. Check in when you can and best wishes for the upcoming treatments.

    Lisa - Oh no!! a lung infection, poor thing as if you need that. I hope the antibiotic kicks it right out of you! Do you have safe areas to ride a bicycle? that would be a great way to exercise, great for body and mind.

    I've been better, at least for a couple days, of not going back to bed during the day, it's so tempting when the weather is blah.

    I have been very good on track with diet except for yesterday, back to the straight and narrow today.

    MUCH friendship vibes to you all and please hope that I can get some for myself today.

    *edited, 5:00 pm - I had NO sun today clouds were thick enough to look like rain, but stayed dry. However it did get to 57 here even with no sun. I was very productive and cleaned my husband's side of bedroom, it needed it It did take me FOUR HOURS. Then took it all to the ReUse Center and got rid of it!!!

    Hello friends,

    I need to watch videos to learn how to use certain things on Photoshop. I have a while to do my projects because I put in for being sick. I have been posting in discussion questions to get my points there but I have project to do before the 24th and a quiz before the 10th. I have tons of homework to do but I am just burnt out. Maybe I'll log in today and work on some.

    I can actually breath again too. It feels wonderful. I think my lung infection is pretty much healed.


    I don't feel well today. I have a headache and my stomach is upset. Maybe if if could get my stomach to settle, my head would feel better. Edit: I am feeling better this evening. Headache is gone, stomach is better.

    Kurt just qualified 17th at Talledega, Alabama Speedway. I was hoping he would qualify better.


    Kathleen, I hope you are doing well.
    Holly, I hope you have had a chance to take your bike out for some rides.
    Fi, I pray you are better, sweetie. I hate to think of you in such pain.
    EasySpirit, I hope you are doing well.


    Much love to all.

    Hello friends,


    Well, I am frazzled, I just got done watching my Nascar race and it was exciting. My nerves, however, let's just say I'm on my last one.


    I gave my 2 weeks notice on job #2. I just want to concentrate on school, job #1 and life stuff. I was spreading myself too thin.


    Well, I took my last antibiotic pill. I hope the infection of the lining of my lungs is gone.


    I bought an outfit for Jennifer's graduation. I wanted to look nice for pics and I am meeting Doug's girlfriend for the first time. I am nervous. I wanted to wear something that slimmed me. I went to Maurice's and bought tan pants, a short-sleeved sexy orange shirt (low cut), and a crochet short-sleeved shirt to go over it. I have tan sandals to go with it. We'll take pics so you can see Jennifer's graduation.



    Have a great Sunday evening, everyone. Much love to all.

    Hello everyone,

    I have a busy week this week. Corrections on a poster I made, it didn't turn out very well. I cringe when I think what my instructors comments will say. I thought it did but now that I think of it, it looks terrible.
    I took a quiz that was very hard and got a D on it. The funny thing is, i'm just glad I passed it. I am just struggling with this Photoshop class.


    My last day of work is the 15th of this month, for job #2. I am still working my early morning job, that is where I make most of my money anyhow. I just need a break from working so much. I may, at some time, get something else but for now, one job is enough.


    Jennifer's graduation from college is on Saturday.


    I am really tired tonight but I think I will just go to bed early. I stayed up late late last night making my poster. Now, I think I just did a sucky job even though I did try.


    Much love to all.

    Greetings!

    I hope this finds you all doing well.

    Holly, my family issues seem to be calming down. Personally, I am eating too much chocolate and too much ice cream. I thought it would be easy to lose the three pounds I just gained, but it isn't....not when I can't seem to stop myself from eating.

    Fi, I hope you are getting some relief from your pain, and your doctors have finally decided to listen to you.

    Kathleen, I hope you are feeling better each day.

    Lisa, you must be so excited and proud that your daughter is graduating.

    The weather here is starting to warm up FINALLY. What a tough winter.

    Take care everyone.

    Just dropping by to let you know I'm here and reading your postings. We have some of my test results back, but not all: still don't know what's causing the spasms. The pain is considerably less, but the problems with mobility are still at the can't stand/can't walk/can't drive/can't climb the stairs stage.

    How long before I know what's causing this? How long before things improve? Don't know.

    Sorry to be downbeat. It is what it is.

    Kathleen, how are you, sweetie?
    Fi, hope you are getting around the house. I pray you are.
    Holly, where is our biker chick at?
    EasySpirit, missing your posts, I really am.


    Did I miss anyone?



    I am tired today, Saturday really took it out of me.


    Well, its back to the grind again. School is back. I have 3 chapters to read/scan. I don't try to read the whole thing, takes too long. I also have videos to watch too.


    Jennifer is home and trying to get her bearings. Man, I hope she gets a job close soon!!!! I just don't want to have to drive all the way to Mansfield to see her. I am just selfish, I would like to have her closer.


    Have a great Monday night.
