Daily Ooos: Friday, August 4

Is it a Fri-YAY?
Anyone? ...
Bueller???


I have to admit that I'm not used to having stuff to do and people to talk with almost every day of the week. And to think, I still have three days to go, including today, four if I decide to go back to Coloring Crew

The good news is that I survived so far and yesterday was a long one. I went to my friend's house a little early and it was a good thing I did. When she is home we get chatty and I would have been flipping out if I didn't have the extra time. Even though I was there early, I finished close to my regular time. Got home, showered, had lunch, and back out the door. We made it home a little before 5. Called my mom to check on my dad and she was freaking out -he had taken two Xanax before the MRI/MRA tests and was asleep all afternoon. She was worried he had overdosed. Cait calls and says she is already on her way home from work (an hour early since she needed to get a cashier's check for the down payment today). I am trying to make dinner and she asks if it can be earlier because Tom was coming over to get ready for everything they need for today. My dad calls- *I look to the sky, hands raised, and yell he's alive!!* -- and then my brother calls and I am burning dinner (two separate pans, one meat, the other vegetarian). Sit down and my brain just stops. Literally short-circuits. OK--not literally cuz then I'd be dead but it sure felt like it.

But I am here and my brain is still chugging along. My mom is coming up today, we had tentative plans to go out with Cait since she is off on Fridays but Caitlyn is going to be at the house all day for the inspections. I am not sure what we will do instead. I am so far behind on ordinary stuff (not really, it feels that way, however) and all I want to do is crawl under the covers. Not the best "BrainState" to be dealing with my mom, I am going to have a hard time keeping up with her various conversations and switching of topics. (You all see where I get it from? LOL)

Today, I am grateful that I have a close relationship with my parents. We didn't always get along (hello teen years!), but they are an important part of who I am today.

@bcgal00 Sheesh, that sounds awful about the fatigue. Feel better and take good care! How is D feeling? Is he recovering well after the surgery?

@Cherylndesigns

"Princess Cici you can step out on your stool now".

Bwuahahahahah!!!!
Thanks for the good vibes, like I said, the septic is the big one

@BrightEyes you are doing a great job with the photo editing. I wish I could be as organized as you.
Will send you the cool weather right now~~~~~ It is 65* so warmer than yesterday but still chilly for August!

@vickyday My white space page was more than 1/4 of the page. I had my photo less than 1/4 but the elements took up most of the bottom. White-space pages are usually the hardest ones for me. LOL
So happy to hear that Ilene is feeling better. I haven't been in the gallery yet but hope to have some time later today-- will look for your watermelon LO, sounds adorable!

Yikes, gotta get rolling.....
TTYS! xo

Wait! Caitlyn had to have a down payment BEFORE the inspections were done? I thought the inspections were done before the bank would even approve a loan??
I didn't have a great relationship with my mom, especially, when I was a teen. But I think that is normal! I always said I would NOT raise my kids the way I was raised.....very strict.....but I did! And I'm glad I did! The strictness didn't hurt any of us!

Good Morning!
Another rainy-looking day for us with cooler temps. I'm OK with that.
I need to get some groceries since Mark is home for 3 days.
No other plans. A friend of Mark's is coming over this afternoon for a visit. He lost his wife earlier this year. She had health problems basically her whole life. I think he is a bit younger than Mark. Used to work with him. I was going to fix supper for him, but he can't stay, so Mark and I are going to Ruby Tuesday's after he leaves. Works for me!

Today, I am thankful I had strict parents and that I raised my kids the same way.....even though I vowed I would not! @faerywings , they have all 4 turned out to be great kids! I guess I didn't turn out so bad, either! . Only by the grace and mercy of God, however! Thank You, LORD!

Good morning ladies. I'm feeling a bit better but still very tired. It is so much like covid recovery, the fatigue makes me lay in bed for hours every day and the headache doesn't go away, just lessens with tylenol. The pain isn't too bad, not like some others get it. I don't know how long it'll take to get back to normal but hopefully soon. I am scrapping a bit here and there when I am out of bed but chit-chat is hard b/c of the headache and difficulty focusing.

HAGD everyone.

Good morning,

Bueller.....................Bueller.....................anyone????? One of my favorite movies. Yes, it IS FRIDAY!!! The girls are and I going to Marshall's after a while, in Muskogee.

Chris @faerywings sounds like you had a crazy but not too unusual day yesterday. Glad your dad wasn't overdosed - I would have to take more tha 2 Xanax if I ever have to have an MRI. They'd have to knock me out. I had an open MRI years ago and they pretty much did knock me out - I don't remember anything and my head was out - just the thought of having that thing over my body was too much. I have terrible claustrophobia.

I knew you'd love "Princess Cici" and she's so dramatic - she takes my hand and makes a big deal out of it. Hahaha

Vicky @vickyday, enjoy your dinner out - sounds good.

Rae @bcgal00 sending you lots of gentle hugs.

Gotta go - I have several pages to upload to FB and then have to get ready to go. Not sure I'll get everything uploaded, but I'm going to try.


Happy FRIDAY and HAGD!
