UGH! Shopping. Middle granddaughter will be 9 Sat. and all I have bought so far is the 2 tops & undies I got in Chattanooga the other day. I had to go to town and run some errands today ... just did what I absolutely had to. Don't feel like shopping. I don't even know what she wants.

Anne ... massages hurt me when I first get them, too.

Well ... the new minister is coming the first of the year. At least 75% of the people are happy! I just hope everybody joins together and backs him now that it is settled ... whether they voted for or against him. We need to stand united or we will fall! A house divided against itself cannot stand. I've lived through too many of those tragedies. These people seem to have a lot of good sense so maybe they will come together for the good of the church.

Guess I'll stay in bed tomorrow - it's supposed to rain most of the day.

Brad always says that there are lots of opinions in a church. my church , we don't get to pick.But I have been known to move to a different church if i don't like it.
Hope you are well, Joanne.
My fingers on my left hand are painful. That's a new pain. When i cleaned the carpet, I think I bore down on them.
Oh, I got the fibro DVD and I played it last night. Didn't want to overdo it because I had just gone to the chiro and he helped my back. there were a couple of twists that I just didn't do. In the end, you get on the floor. I think it will be helpful if I can take it easy. I like that it's a DVD. No rewinding!!
I don't like to shop when I don't know what people want. Maybe cd's. 9 is a transition-too old for dolls-too young for teeny bopper stuff!
Lady that is interested in apt is coming tonight, mainly to see the location since we are in another town. The city where she lives has a lot of trouble-like murders etc. I don't care one way or the other if she takes it. God's will. She is a Christian -yeah!!!
Supposed to go with Auntie.
Angela needs a babysitter next Friday am,2 kids for 2 and a half hours. I wish I had some baby equipment since Keith is 5 months now!!!!!
Bye for now. Mima

Anne, I hope you aren't overdoing it. The massage should help. Take it easy!!

Meme, I tend to do alot of shopping on the internet. Rarely go shopping anymore except with my shopping buddies at Christmas. Keep us posted on your new minister. Hope those that didn't want him grow to like him.

Mima, moral of the story = don't clean the carpet. lol Let us know about the woman about the apartment. I can't blame her for wanting to get away from where she lives.

First official weigh-in at WW tonight. -5 pounds. I was thrilled!

Doctor's visit wasn't the best today. They ran into a problem with another patient, so they were over an hour late for me. I was a nervous wreck. They finally came in and gave me a shot to relax me. When they finally did the procedure, the shots to numb the back hurt worse than the actual injections. I'm supposed to call them on Monday, and let them know how I'm doing. I'm sure I'll notice over the weekend whether it is working or not.

Hope it works, Tammy. I was at the podiatrists for over an hour-they overbook. Other docs take you as you come in.
The lady was nice but I really wish we could just go to FL the Sun after Thanksgiving, She will let us know by next FRi. I really don;t think she will take it. It would be better if a man was in here. It's in God's hands.
I did the DVD again. It is good stretching but something is aggravating my rib muscles and I don't do the twisting. But I have a massage at one and a boob job at 2:30/ That would be a mammogram. Hope it's ok.
I wish i could get a shot that would numb my whole body. Yes, I am going to take it easy on the cleaning. I will use the mop to do the hardwoods.
Marriage group tonight.
How is your eye, Joanne. Meme. are you out shopping? And how are you Chris and Anne-I know Anne is working. Bye for now, Mima

No shopping for me today ... it's pouring here. I had to go out and sell a trailer to some idiot in the rain yesterday. I'm NOT doing that today. If some fool wants to stand out there and take a shower today, he can do it alone; I'll hand him some shampoo out the door! I'm sitting here watching reruns of the A Team while washing and drying clothes ... I think MR T is rubbing off on me "fool"!

I'm for the shot to numb the whole body! That would be the thing!!!

As for the cleaning ... I think I will bypass that this weekend ... maybe I'll just get hubby to do some of it and let the rest go. Sounds like a plan.

Have a great weekend y'all!

Mima, I actually was able to bend over today without pain. What a great feeling! I hope you get that apartment rented soon. I know you'll feel much better when it is.

Meme, it has been raining all day here too. I can't believe someone was there to buy a trailer in the rain! Why couldn't he come on a nice day. LOL to Mr. T.

Tim is home for the weekend. Fall break. He doesn't go back until Tuesday night. The dog was thrilled to see him. Me too of course!!

Thanks for sending the rain this way, Meme. Hope it's over for you.And Tammy.
Great massage and then the mammo-I guess it's ok.Don't thimk the doc reads them til after.
Marriage group was so great. WE had to write down one word that described our parents marriage-mine was turbulent and Brad's was tumultous. I wasn't alone in an abusive situation but there were others who were brought up in Christian homes. I love it.
We are going to a seminar tonight with Brett and Angela about bringing up Godly children in an unGodly world.
I think there will be only a little more work to be done on the apt.-Too much left. We will have to tell the lady who probably doesn't want it anyways. I don't think it's right for her. They fixed the plumbing which needed to be done and they will pour the cement floor so it can be tiled. Brad has to finish his jobs-he is not realistic about how much he can do.
But we finally have a front porch light.
Bye for now Mima

Good morning, everyone. Hope every one is having a pain free day. I am going to the youth bowling league Halloween Party and I would rather stay home. Just not a good day. I am suppose to dress up as a clown. Not so sure that is going to happen. It rained yesterday, windy today and COLD.

The rain stopped, but now the wind is blowing something fierce! At least the sun is shining today. Kind of a lazy day today, but after so much going on the past week, it was nice to do nothing for once.

Mima, glad the marriage group went well. I don't think I could ever talk Bob into attending a group meeting like that.

Hi Chris! Since the injections on Thursday, my back pain is little or none which is wonderful! I'm not used to being able to do anything without hurting in the lower back. It will take some getting used to. lol

Bob just went to the grocery. I had planned to go, but he said that I sound like I'm getting what he had, and he knows how worn out I'll be since I'm still working.

Tammy, get some zinc lozenges at Walmart at the first sign of getting sick-my gf and I swear by them.
We went to a seminar on raising Godly children in an UnGodly world!! Brad and I felt guilty listening to what she said but there is hope for us with our grandchildren. Brett and Angela were there and we went to support them.
But the clocks changed and I woke up at 3:30-have to go through the adjustment now-this will throw off my whole day. Brad is sound asleep though!!!
We had the rain but not much wind yet. Supposed to though.
Angela asked if we were going to her mother's bd party? I got the invite 2 months ago and don't know where it is!!! Thinking we will stop in later. Of course I don't have a gift!!!
Brad is making me call that lady and tell her the apt. won't be done! I really don't mind-I need to be in FL.
There is a direct link to my pain and eating wheat-probably sugar too. Ate cake. Love that the shot is working, Tammy!!! The back is so painful. The massage helped my rib pain big time. But I want to do the yoga and I don't want it to come back!!!
Anne-hope you are ok, Last time you were hurting!! Hi Joanne and Meme-and where is Candace. we need an update. Hi Chris!!! Mima

Mima, someone else just mentioned the zinc lozenges. Kramer was all messed up this morning with the time change. Now I need to get him adjusted to the new time, or he'll have me up too early every morning. We went shopping for a while after church, and it was so nice not having to stop and sit down all the time to rest the back.

Tim and Bob are planning lots of chores for tomorrow while Tim is home. He goes back on Tuesday. I think I'm glad I'll be at school tomorrow. lol

I only changed half of my clocks and now I don't know what time it is half the time ... this is terrible. I keep looking at a clock and wondering, "did I change that one or not. Is it 10 or is it only 9 ... or maybe it is 11." I seriously need to set all my clocks to the right time!!! (I'm such a ditz!)

Happy to have slept til 5-normal for me. I am happy about your back,Tammy.
We are definitely wrapping it up around here. The wind was awful yesterday and we actually had snow flurries. Had to go to Angela's for her mother's 50th-Brad's ex was there-no barbs this time. She loves that baby. It's hard for them because they lost their first son named Keith tragically.Brad said the baby should be named Ziggy because he has a round head.
Hope you get straightened out Mem.
Brad has something suspicious on his back that looks like the pics of melanoma=finally convinced him to have it taken care of. I will call. His siter, the nurse, says he needs to go to a dermatologist.
Hi everyone. Bye for now. Mima

Meme, I laughed out loud about your clocks! Yes, I think changing them all at the same time would be a good idea.

Mima, lol to Ziggy. I hope Brad goes to get that checked out soon.

Have a great day everyone!

Meme, I did the same thing. In our bedroom Larry has a clock on his side of the bed that he gets up to and I have one on my side of the bed (in the middle of the night I can't see the clock on his side so I have no idea what time it is so I got a clock just for me). He set his back and I didn't. When I got up this morning I was so confused at to what time it was.

Tammy, I am so glad to hear the injections are helping. I am so scared of needles and don't know if I could go thru that any more. (yet 2 years ago I got a tattoo...go figure).

Mima--I hope Brad goes to the doc soon.
