Daily Ooo's: Friday, April 12

[faerywings]

TGIF anyone?

I know, I am still being a downer but it kind of feels like "so what?"
I am dreading cleaning today. Not for any reason except that I am so damn tired. I think that the drastic change in mood from Tuesday's really good day to trying to process the bad news of my tests results on Wed. is hitting me harder than it should.
I'll get through it, I always do, but do you ever get to the point when it seems like to much of an effort to try? But you know, inside, that you have no choice and it kills you to feel that way? Guess that it a brief summation of what I am feeling. Its all so mixed up. The Hope in me is pissing me off too. Its like I want time to mope and be angry and let myself give up, but my need to see the good in it all is messing that up. And that makes me angry too.

My goodness, I am a therapist's NIGHTMARE!!!
:hurt:


Finish It Friday
yikes, I don;t even want to think of all of the projects I need to finish!!!! I wish I had my scrap-mojo back so I could maybe start a fun project....

Hope that all of you have better days than mine! hugs!!!!!
(I'm trying, I really am....)

eeeeep! I think my bad mood is scaring everyone off..... Only 12 posts in yesterday's thread and I think that half of them are mine.

Right now I am looking at my Minnie and Mickey "Hope" card that Laurie made me (i keep it right next to my monitor) and that makes me smile and feel happy inside.

Hi Phyllis My Fellow Insomniac! How did you sleep last night? I was up at 2 and then 4...... then alarm at 5. The meds that my dr Rx's worked fantastically in the beginning, now-- not so much. They are non-addictive but I still don't want to take so many pills. Are you still sleeping in the recliner or is your side better yet?
Good luck with your endo today! Hope it goes well.... i don't think I like the idea of tubes going anyway they don't belong.

hey laurie!! Thank you again for the card-- it really does brighten my day!!!

Kristi- what day are you on now? Is it getting any easier?

Cynthia- always good to have company in the Loony Bin!!!!Especially one that understands chronic illness. :hug:
And I will take you up on that offer of Brazilian food, for sure
Do you ever scrap about your illness/health? I do (a lot I think) and it seems to help in some ways and other ways it just makes me look a bit crazy. Gary tried to reassure me that the moods swings and depression and OCD is al part of the disease. Not sure if that helps either or not!! ound:

ITA with wanting the kids at my house- I would rather have to feed a horde of teens and let them sleep here b/c I know that they are safe and very limited in the trouble they can get into.

I can;t wait to see you pics and video- you must be so proud of your DD!!! And I am really proud of you and I mean that so sincerely. Gary is practically housebound, and I know the effort it takes for him to go to places that he really needs to be at-- like when Scott had to testify in court, it was so hard for him, but it would have been harder for him not to be there. I hope that today you can sit back, realx and look at those fab photos!

Trudy- how awesome that your IL's had such a good time!!! And have a wonderful time with your sisters and get pampered!! Happy Early birthday!!!!!!
xoxo

Great news about that spot Laurie!

quoting Trudy:

Please know that I love all of you and you are the best part of my day!! :hug: :wave:

ITA!!

I was up early--3AM. Never did go back to sleep. Got up to get a drink and my son had just come in from work. He wanted to discuss how he was getting paid now that he is working a "extra" hours at work. It boiled down to this: He has to pay us $300 every check toward the car loan and he doesn't want to pay us today (payday) because he needs it to take his girlfriend shopping and out of town on Tuesday. Said he would pay us with his first check for the extra hours. Didn't set to good with me and then I couldn't go back to sleep.

I should organize my scrapping supplies that I have purchased over the last couple of months.....but.......I'm surfing the net instead.

Yesterday was my last day visiting my mom in the hospital. My sister has hospital duty today and she is supposed to be discharged tomorrow.

So--what am I going to do today? Should work like a mad lady all day. But--I think I may go get me a new IPhone. Maybe I'll clean up the spare bedroom--need to get it ready for my sister in law who is coming to visit to help out with my mom. Maybe I'll go grocery shopping.

Chris--Go ahead a feel yucky for a bit. Just don't stay there too long---not good for you. Embrace it and keep on going girl. I'll pray for you.

Phyllis--an endo. No fun. Hope it all goes well.

Need to go read yesterday's thread to catch up on things.

Hope you all have a great day.

good morning - Had a fun filled yesterday - talked to my sister - then went shopping with my girlfriend and we then met up with another girlfriend for lunch at a new Cuban restaurant. It was yummy! We were not rushed and it was just fun to catch up. Because the restaurant was in our town we just walked there and the best part was as leaving the restaurant we saw a red tailed hawk land on a tall tower behind the fire department. A red tailed hawk in a downtown was pretty surprising but even more surprising was he grabbed a rat and flew to the top of a telephone pole and let me take photos. It was pretty impressive watching him just rip up that yucky rat. Fur just flew and it was pretty funny to take photos while not having that hit me. LOL.

Chris I hope you feel better. I know you will get through this rough patch.

Phylis good luck with the endo.

Trudy have a great birthday weekend. How nice of your sisters!

Laurie congrats on the workout and it is raining here too!

Kristi continued success with the shred!

Have a great day all!

Morning lovely ladies... I slept in a bit today, but had a very restless sleep last night! Still have dreams about work or the fact that I am not at work anymore!! So I tossed and turned a lot last night!!

Chris - Dear friend, I hope that you can soon be over this funk that you are in! Sorry that you are feeling so down!! Perhaps you need another visit to your Mom and Dad's to cheer you up a bit, some time alone to just veg!! Let someone else take care of you for a change! I would love to come and help you, but darn the cost of airfare is a killer :becky: So I will send you lots of healing :hug: and and lots of liquid happiness too ...

 

[taxed4ever]

Terry - So glad that you are getting some extra help from your SIL!! Hopefully all goes well with your Mother's discharge back to home life! Getting a new IPhone sounds like way more fun than cleaning or grocery shopping! Hope your son does not try to take advantage of your good nature!!

Laurie - Yikes flooding!! Sure hope your basement does not flood after all the work that you have gone through to get it all fixed up!! Keeping my fingers crossed for you that the rains stop and the flooding recedes !!

Kristy - Hope you get that duck hut all finished! Keep up the great work with the shred!!

Nancy - You sweetie you thanks for the wonderful layout you did of the Bruins for me!! My hubby can't wait to tell the guys at work that you did this and that I will hopefully get it printed out for him! You rock :rockon: That must have been quite the sight see that Hawk !! I can just picture you trying to get some shots without having rat fur land on you Ewwww!!

Phylis - Where are you today my friend? Are you busy making a page for the challenge I am hosting?? :becky: Oh that right you have your lovely endo today don't you? Good luck with that!! sending you :hug: hope all goes well!!

Well I have some CT work to do today, before heading out to my sister's will see if I can get some pics of her place, hopefully the deer and racoons are out and wandering around her beautiful property!! Have a wonderful Friday everyone!! :wave:

(from yesterday and today)

Chris, I would love to have that mid-life crisis you described (although I hope I'm not at the midst of my life yet). I hope you had a wonderful day with your mother yesterday and had a better day today! big hugs!

Phylis I hope the endoscopy went ok and you had a better night without mystery cars!

That's great news from the dr. Laurie!

Good to hear Terry that you're getting some extra help from your SIL! I can understand that you couldn't sleep well after the talk with your son, I hope he will do what he said!

Krysti, good luck with the chickens and all the other work!

Sounds like a wonderful day you had yesterday Nancy!

Not a fun situation to be in Trudy, but I hope you won't lose more sleep on it!


well I've had a few busy days and I'm tired now, but wanted to pop in and say hi, so .... hi Today I've enjoyed seeing my big little sweetie on stage today in his schoolmusical, it was so much fun!
Ben during the musical:

and the decor I have drawn and helped the kids to paint:

 

[whatnext]

here 's me. i survived the endo. of course, i have no MEMORY of the endo, which suits me fine. long live Versed and Fentanyl.... nothing of significance seen, TG. now to get on with life.

Angela, the musical looks so CUTE!!!

Laurie, does your basement flood? EEK! after all that reno, hoping it does NOT! that was in your basement, right?

Nancy, it's thrilling, i think, seeing the BIG birds do their thing. last Sunday i could have SWORN we had two eagles above our yard. i don't know birds very well at all, but these were so much bigger than our usual hawks! any idea what they could have been?

Terry,did you say NO to your son? i would still be so mad at him about that car stuff he just put you through! but you are so much nicer than i am. :rant:

Chris, sweet girl. i could tell you again how much i admire your beautiful soul and hopeful disposition, but that wouldn't help you a bit. i like the idea of you taking a few days off and going ALONE to your folks' place. tell Gary he's in charge and just do some downtime for yourself. i'd bet your parents would be so glad to have you. when you can't change your general circumstances, you really have to schedule in as many small "me" events as it takes to keep yourself sane. and NOT feel guilty about it. and NOT feel like you have to "make up for it" to anyone, when you've returned. if you don't learn a little more selfishness, you're going to pop. and we do NOT want you to pop! :boom: there's a kind of virtue in selfishness. it shows you value yourself, and it shows others that you're worthy of respect.


i'm taking it as a good sign that there was an 80% chance of rain here today, and the SUN is shining! Happy Friday Afternoon!

I was gonna come make it quick, but I can't resist the temptation to get in the conversation, and trust me, there has been a LONG time since I look forward to chat like this…. I find myself thinking about you girls all day, especially when I come across some art work that reminds me of some of your pages…
anyway,
I didn't sleep last night, and haven't been to sleep so it s over 48 hours awake, talk about company in the Insomniac club LOL :welcome:



Chris… you are such a special person, you know?
can't find a proper hugg/love smiley....this needs a very special one!
thanks for those words…I know you mean it and it really means a lot to me….
I came out of a big depression hole in January…and the one who pulled me up of the hole without realising was one of my designers (that I CT for…I don't own her LOL) she created a kit for her daughter who is a teen and suffering from depression…and I thought…I can't stay like this…and then all my other designers and my team mates, always emailing or texting or skipping…. they help keeping me on the fight.
There are days like last night, the pain levels are high and I have to take more meeds, and then there you are wide awake….but unable to concentrate on much LOL
I made some pages as you will see…some artsy pretentious one but can't compare to the pages here…but you tempted me all…

I'm wandering of topic again…. :focus:

Yes about understanding chronic illnesses/pain…I think there are a few of us here….

I saw this video on Facebook yesterday , a Dutch actress who is married to a North American that spoke at a Lyme convention, congress some like that….the woman made ,me cry….

Terry hope the day wasn't too hard on you (if you didn't sleep and had to work)
You remind me I should organise my scrapbooking stuff too….never get to that, there is always something else to do….

Laurie hope the rain stops…here it stopped and is getting warmer, they say we are gonna have hot days and wish we still had the snow….not me, never LOL

Kiliki. you a farmer? 16 chickens…I would so love to go back to country life, or at least small village… and, is that a fulness program that is making you hurt?
it gets better after a couple of weeks , but I (until I was able to move more) changed the exercise for yoga, and it worked wonders…
I did pilots a bit, but then the place closed, I have a free gym near but lots of stairs, no parking places as is across the road from the hospital…oh well…

Nancy Cuban food, love some of their dishes!!!!!! we make similar stuff in Brazil, but their rice and chicken is amazing, nothing like that taste …ahhh now am hungry LOL (always an excuse to eat haha):hungry::hungry:

Trudy, glad you got some sleep at least….I'm praying for sleep today, or I will break down seriously!!! LOVE your liquid help !!!!!!!!!
here is some for you, in case Chris toook it all:
:champagne

ohhh Angela LOVE the photos!!!!! how great that he is in a musical great stage montage!!!! need to sort Sarita s fotos to show you girls too…

Phyllis GREAT news about the end, not significance is always good in my books!!!!
hope the sun keeps shining!!!

I think I covered everyone….,my concentration is no good usually, now after 48+ hours awake…apologies for grammar errors, typos, I will make a spell check, bit you still cant trust my eyes and my fingers LOL

So, am gonna post some pages and provably will still have stamina for looking some of yours , wonderfully talented Os!!!!! if not, will be around tomorrow for sure
