Good morning, ladies! What weather. We are having snow right now and then a nor'easter is coming in tonight with rain and high winds. I love global warming but I think the ice age is coming. LOL

I'm off work today so I can just stay in and sort fabric. I'm really embarassed to have so much, but I do have friends that have even more. I need to get busy and make even more quilts to use some of it up. I've got a pot of cheesy vegetable soup (1 point) on for lunch and extra for other days. I'm making baked chicken, pasta with basil pesto, and broccoli for dinner.

Faye, I'm glad Jack got a new appoint for this week. Hopefully they will be able to help him. I love hearing about Thomas. He's a little genius that is still a normal kid and that is hard for parents to do. He's a lucky boy. Jackson is going to be a world traveler before he goes to pre-school. I'm sorry it is because his grandpa is ill. I'll bet at this point you would not hesitate if they wanted to do a hysterectomy. I feel so bad for you. The weight will come off quickly when the medication that is causing it goes away. I hope the weather is good for your trip.

I'm going to get my menus planned for the rest of the month today. The big quilt show is the last week of the month and I need to have my plans in place.

Have a great day!

Humpday
 

Hi, Maggie! Good to hear from you. It looks like we are all in the same boat, weatherwise.

I just had a call from my doctor. I have osteoporosis and she is starting me on Fosomax (?) which I will take once a week. She's hoping it won't cause my GERD to flare up again, but all the osteo meds can cause GERD to worsen. I was hoping I didn't have it, but I sure had all the signs with the loss in height, extended use of corteosteroids and Prednisone, and low Vitamin D. She wants me to drink a quart of milk every day and I'm not supposed to bend over or twist from side to side because they could cause a bone fracture. How I could do that living alone I'm not really sure. The whole thing is depressing. My echocardiogram showed my pulmonary hypertension has stayed stable and there is little chance I'll have a heart attack. I may be the first one in my family to escape heart disease in at least 3 generations. So that was good.

The snow has stopped but the temperature has dropped 4 degrees in the last hour and is now 28 so everything will be freezing over.

Good morning gals! Jack is supposed to be back home around 10 since he has another dr appt today. I have done nothing so far this morning, but then I didn't sleep again last night so I was pooped this morning when Jack got up. I get finished posting here I will jump up and get my chores going before he gets home. Can't let him think I sit around doing nothing all day....;)

Maggie: Obviously Twitter really wanted you to talk! :lol: Looks like chicken has been popular with our bunch. My chicken and noodles were yummy, even had them again for lunch the next day. I love to make my own noodles, but opted for the really thin store bought ones. I got my hair cut yesterday and had my nails done again. It made me feel better. I wanted to grow my hair out long enough to get a bob, but no go. It was driving me nuts and looked horrible no matter what I tried to do so off it came yesterday. Hope your weather is improving. We are cold here, but no precipitation expected. I need to go and get the suv washed and vacuumed out to go to Chattanooga before we go as it really needs it. We haven't had any decent weather to have it done. Jack takes it to work once a week and lets the seagulls poop on it. I have given him strict orders NOT to let birds poop on my car, but he doesn't follow through! :lol::lol::lol:

Susan: You must have a whole box of meds. I know I do and I don't have to take half of what you do. I guess one of the things about these darn hormones is the extra weight has really impacted what I can do. It would be different if I were normal size and gained it at least it wouldn't be difficult to walk and such, but all this extra weight has really made it hard for me. I like being active even at my size but this has really made it difficult. I went to Walmart's yesterday and had to walk all over the store to get things I wanted and was wiped out when I finished and crampy. I absolutely hate that. She is going to have to fix my swelling feet and hands too. I can live with the ringing in my ears from my one med, but we have to do something about my feet swelling. Ahh well, I will just have to do the best I can until the meds either settle down they find stuff different that works or whatever. I noticed that since I am off both the hormone meds I have quit the spotting so obviously that is what was causing the everyday stuff. I am not opposed to the hysterectomy if that will fix things for sure.

Well gals, I need to get hoppin.' Oh and just between you and me, don't tell Thomas, I missed 3 questions on the fifth grade program last night. My only defense is I have been out of school a long time! :D Faye

Good afternoon, ladies! Nice sunny day is the middle 40s - but snow is on the way for Monday and Tuesday.

Nothing going on today. I just got home from work. I'm having ham, baked sweet potato, and green beans for supper. At least there is some good tv tonight - I like Grey's Anatomy and Private Practice. Tomorrow is day quilt guild and lunch out.

Faye, I have 10 prescriptions right now, plus my multivitamin, Fish Oil and calcium. The copays are bad enough, but I'll be in the donut hole by June and have to pay out of pocket after that. I won't tell Thomas about your missed questions. School circulum has sure changed since I was there.

Have a good evening!
