This is going to be really fast. Catzilla/Muffinloaf is all over me and well, now she is trying to climb on my back. Gave that up and I am using my face to clock her from the keboard.

dang cat! LOL

good morning and sending love and happy mondays to all!

Good morning ladies. Quick one here as well. We visit the tax man tonight. Never have a good feeling before the tax visit.

Everyone have a great day!

aaaack!! snow on the ground. but never mind. it's going to 60 tomorrow. wild.

Linda, happily the Tax Man lives at my house, and he likes messing with numbers, so i just let him handle it. really, i think if i had to look at the amount of taxes we pay, i'd probably have a really bad day.

no big plans for the week. gotta do laundry and go grocery shopping at some point. there is some chance that a meeting will be had with The Girl Formerly Known as My Daughter later this week. that should be jolly.

have a great start to your week, y'all.

Well, morning all - snow here too and 50's at the end of the week. Off to work and then to a church mission after work with a co-worker. All my tax receipts are in an envelope- the tax man lives on my machine! I hope to be energized when I get home and to catch you all on the flip side!

Happy Monday Morning everyone!! :rain: here for us today, My last day of work until the 18th. Tuesday I get my hair done and then get the suitcases packed. Got some very nice winter boots for 50% off, so I am ready to brave the winter weather in Winnipeg. Watch now they will get a schnook wind and it will be spring LOL !! That wouldn't be so bad I guess.

Chris - Oh that Catzilla/Muffinloaf!! She sure is determined to have your full attention!! Hope you are able to make it back here later on!

Phylis - Ugggh :smow: for you!! How nice that the temps will be better tomorrow though! I really hope with all of my heart that your daughter wants to meet to reconcile with you!! I know things have not been good between you but as a Mother I know you want your former daughter back again!! :hug:

Laurie - Have a great productive day at work, hope your snow is gone soon too!!

Kristy - What a wonderful way to start the day, looking at that beautiful smile!!

Well better get some breakfast I'm really hungry :hungry: then hit the shower and off to work. My MG is doing our taxes today also, hope we have some good news when he's done. Last year... not so good. :wave:

Kristy, thanks for that smile!

Hello my dear friends....

Nothing new at my house today - but sun is shining (at the moment), I'm on my second cut of coffee and best of all I had a good night's sleep

Trudy - have a safe journey and enjoy your grandchildren.

Thanks for the smile, Kristy - do I spot little freckles - very sweet.

Chris - our mini dachs is just as bad - he sits, paws my leg and whines - ignoring him is not an option

Phylis, my dear - daughters - I have one too - but it's not a loving relationship like I was blessed to have with my mother..... sometimes there's nothing you can do but pray. Upsetting, distressed and hopeless - that's how I feel - but and it's a big BUT I refuse to feel guilty anymore. The blame game doesn't work. Keep strong and warm :hug: :hug: :hug:

DH is off to UK at end of month for 2 weeks. This I am not happy about - not that I mind his going but I'm afraid of how I will cope.

I keep these feelings hidden and tell him "I'll be fine, don't worry"
I'm terrified I will fall and not be able to get up.... will keep the cell phone with me at all times.
The dr has said if I fall I will if lucky I only break a hip or arm, he's worried about my back - my ole bones are so mushy and fragile.

Sorry to vent my fears - but sometimes it's hard to smile and say I'm OK.

enough! As I said the sun is shining - and I'm off to visit the beauty in the gallery.

lotsa hugs

Happy Monday!!

I just sent out a group email for something and mentioned how a friend of mine loves Mondays and so I was going to try loving Monday's too. My Monday is still kinda blah...but I'm trying.


Well, I would love to stay and chat but I have way too much to do...to include that mountain of laundry I've been trying to ignore. I hate that if you ignore it...not only does it not go away...but it grows. What's up with that. I'm about to pack up everyone's clothes though. I hate how often I wash clean clothes. UGH!!! Even my husband causes the clean clothes washing. Such a pain.


Hugs to all!!

Oh Clara, ya had to go and say the "L" word. I want to sit down and clear the brain for a few but I have a huge load of laundry waiting to be folded. I spent almost 4 hours doing taxes. Up to $14,000 out of pocket medical related expenses. How f-ed up is that? I am ready to give up anyway. We aren't getting anything back and we shouldn't owe anything either so a few hundred more in medical supply expenses isn't going to make any difference.

My biggest issue is that that I sold a few shares of an old stock last year. My dad got it for me when I was born, the company is no longer around and I just happened to have a hard copy stock certificate last year when a subsidiary was being merged. But Turbo Tax needs to know the original buy date and price per share. How the heck am I supposed to know, it was 40 years ago! :faint:

Now I just have a headache......

:Cry:

Did everyone else have a good day so far? Its cold here, but the sun is shining. I took the puppy for a walk too.

J- do you have a neighbor to check in on you? I wish I lived closer, I would pop over for tea with you!

What a great and happy photo Kristy!
I know I am missing about all of you here, but Catzilla is back. And that laundry needs to get done... dinner soon too..... blergh!

xoxoxox!!!

Jacqueline, you should get one of those things that you can push a button if you fall and ask for help. my mom had one, and it completely changed her feelings about being alone. please take good care.

 

[clarabear]

Jacqueline!!! Huge soft hugs for you. I can completely understand your fears. Having taken several x-rays of people who have fallen...unfortunately it is a valid fear. Definitely keep your phone on you but try not to be too stressed about it. Stressing just makes you nervous and can make accidents more likely. YOu should pay a local neighbor kid to come and check on you...hang out for a little bit. I know my husband used to go hang out with a lady when he was in high school. He loved it. I guess she would pay him to do jobs...like fill flower beds and stuff like that but he would end up just going up and visiting, taking her trash out, little stuff just because. He still talks about it...20 years later. HUgs!!

evening- it was a good day, a long day and tomorrow promises to be the same. I think I am going to go to bed early and hope that I wake refreshed.

Afternoon all..

Fortunately with all this tax talk, I'm glad 1. he does them now as I had my years of doing them in my first marriage and in the 15 yrs 'between' marriages. 2. They went to the accountant last month. I'm pretty sure we'll be paying more as always but it's only fair.

Phylis - wishing you the best in the uncharted waters of daughterland. All is quiet in my minefield and I think for many of us the book that an CA friend suggested has the perfect title..."Walking on Eggshells". I've had about 2+wks of silence from mine and it's been great.

Jacqueline, as everyone has said..Seriously, think about what you can do for yourself to avoid those falls, and take every precaution you can incl that wear-it buzzer. My friend said her mil was too proud to wear one - in her 90s! - but I value my ass more than my pride for sure! Know we are all thinking good thoughts for you.

Well it's a quick bye for me...not that a lot is happening today but it's time for Mr. R's belly timer to go off and I'll hear...Where are we going for dinner? :noidea: <---That's about my answer!
