Daily Ooo's: Thursday, April 4

[faerywings]

help me!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have officially lost my mind.


For the gazillion time.

I know. I can't take it any more! I need some sanity! Does anyone have sanity?? I bet that is in short supply ound:

So if no one has sanity, can I plllllleeeaassse get a padded cell and some good meds?? Just for a few days. I'd really appreciate it.

I was just saying on another forum (whining, in all honesty) that I can't even have a glas sof wine atthe end of the day. This darn Tindamax! Its some seriously nasty abx and with all of its horrible side effects and Lyme effects, I can't even chill out a bit at the end of the day with some tv and a glass of wine. *AND* (if that wasn't bad enough) I have PMS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Its not fair. *stomps foot and pouts*

But guess what?? I hear something good!! Birds!! I hear the birds chirping. There is one bird that chirps chee-burger chee-burger like in the SNL skit.

One of these days I am going to hear a bird chirp- Pepsi no Coke!

at any rate, it is fab-u-lous to hear the birds chirp. It's still really cold but next week we should hit the 60* mark!!
So that is my good news bit for today. The potential for spring-like weather-- next week!! :rofl:

Hope that all of you are having a great day. I am off to go food shopping then work.... not a fun one but what can you do?

Temptation on Thursday
voluntary commitment in some swanky hospital that the celebs go to?

 

[hondachicc]

OOOH :hug: sweetie...... I know this feeling...not from same type of source, but losing my sanity is a frequent thing around here too. I hope it settles soon....if not...then we have no choice..............off to the island...........:becky:

Everyone here is going into full blown allergy attacks...yuck.....all the hacking and sneezing and stuffy noses!! iick!! Spring is so beautiful, yet so mean!!! It has totally zapped what little energy I did have right out of me.


I wish I had something good to talk about...sorry girls...........hope you all have an awesome day.

 

[faerywings]

yesterdays news:

How is everyone feeling in your house today, Nana? Hope you are all better although if it is allergies,I guess that will take a while to clear up. hugs!

Hey D! Hope you didn't wake up with a headache today! :tea: for you!

Hi Asa! Hope your visit goes well!

(oh look, there is me!)

Yay Laurie!! Today is Day Off! Enjoy!!!

Kristi- hope he has a great training time in Baltimore.
So cute about the baby pool for the ducks. Pictures, please!

Trudy- oh my goodness that is just horrible!!!!! i wish there was something I could do or say to make it better (or to make them go away!!) but instead I am sending you hugs. we are always here to listen!!

begin planning a trip to your grandpeople once you're finished with this! tell your hubby you're "between jobs." :becky:

Yes!!! ITA with Phyllis!

Oh Angela- he is soooo cute! what a great attitude he has. Love it!!! Does he have any trouble getting around in them? They just look like really thick socks from here, so I hope that he can run and play like before.
I had to have casts when I was a baby -- about a year old I think. I was born with a club foot- my one foot was turned backward. But I was obviously so young I don't remember any of t except for stories about how I would get mad at them and bang them into the side of my crib.

Nancy- seriously- isn't it a PITA to even write every day about how cold it is? Its crazy!!!!! And even with the sun shining, its so deceptive, right?
Hope that you are feeling better too and that your motivation comes back!

Sing it, Sally- Life is always better when there is coffee!!!!!
the bonfire party sound awesome!! And I am happy for your rain too, TX has has awful droughts the last few years.

Hi Cynthia! Yes, welcome to the crazy O-Fam! We *love* having new people join us! So make yourself comfy and enjoy the ride

my mum used to say: wait till you have a daughter...well... I had already apologised to my mum for the hurt I caused her when I was a teen (I was wild, seriously) and we have an amazing relationship now,

OMG-- me too!! I said the same to my mom-- I don;t know how they didn't kill me when i was a teen. I also tell tit to my kids too- they will understand where I am coming from once theyhave kids of their own.

I hear ya on the lying. My kids have told me about some things I almost wish I didn't know-- but I have to take a deep breathe and say better that I know and can deal with the reality of it rtaher thanhave them lie to my face and think everything is cool.
Great that you know it is just a phase, as hard as it is too live through it. I hope the phase ends quickly. (((Hugs))))
Oh wow- your story about your hips- how hard that must have been! Do you have any issues with them now? Hope not.

Tracy- if we could bottle the energy that kids have and sell it, we would be millionaires....
Hope that today is a better day!
:rofl: at your comment to Cynthia!!

ok my lOvlies, I am late (what else is new) and I have head out before the old biddies try to run me over with their shopping carts.
Have a fab day!!!!!!

 

[Kiliki]

I could use a padded cell with some good meds too...sanity is overrated LOL....

 

[LaurieW]

morning O fam- surfing in my jammies- need to get dressed- I have birds chirping here as well. I told my ds that today was cleaning day- he is going to hang my on the wall mirrored jewelry chest (had to move it when we got the new bed) and we are going to get his room (aka the storage room before he returned home) cleaned out!!! Salvation army trip coming today! Okay- off for an adventure and yes scrapping will occur- my husband is on the road tonight so I can scrap guilt free!

 

[nancyr]

good morning - woke to a weather forecast that says by next week my temps will be in the 60s. Wow maybe spring is really coming. Not too much else going on. Still coughing which I hate more than anything.

Chris and Linda wishing you both energy to deal with the insanity!

Have a great day all!

 

[LaurieW]

PS Chris- you can always come use my hot tub to chillax at the end of the day-too bad you live so far away.

 

[whatnext]

Chris. (((hugs))) believe me, i GET how frustrated you are when pleasures get taken away from you, one by one.

Nana, hope everyone's nose and lungs settle down. i don't think we're into spring enough yet to have anything floating around. i'm still trying to combat DRY inside air and the attendant probs. it's three times as hard for you, because you've got the little guys to worry about, too! ((hugs)) to you, too!

Laurie, long live Jammie Time!!

Nancy, i think spring IS coming. we're getting the nice weather starting today. and for the first time this year, the damned CROWS woke me up....

today i'm going to the foot doctor, like a good little diabetic. lunch at Alladin's, then i may stare at the computer screen for a bit to see if i can make a page. doubtful.... :hurt: what will probaly happen is the wiggly light thing in my eyes, instead. geez. i'm a cheery little ray of sunshine today, too, apparently!! Sorry!! :tape:

hope the birds(not crows...) are singing where you are. :becky:

 

[Alegna]

ow my day is not going well and just got worse after a phonecall

Wes was in 2008 operated on his heart, everything went well and the controls remained well and in October 2008 we were told that we have to come back in 4 years.
I nicely asked if I had to contact them myself or that it went automatically "no ma'am we will call you'.
Last October the 4 years were past and had Wes should have been for control to the cardiologist.
Mid October we had heard nothing, so I called ... "you'll soon get a call."
In November I called agian and then got told that there was a long waiting list and that in the new year we would get a call.

I just now got a call from them ...
"Yes I was busy with those on the waiting list to plan them in and then I saw Wes his name too'
I 'Yes that's possible, it is about time you called'
they 'Yes now we just need a new referral because since this(!) year the insurance companies demand that for anybody who hasn't been here longer than 3 years'
I 'yes but if you had called him just last year like you should, then it hadn't been necessary'
they 'no that's true, but now it is, so if you're just be so kind and get a new referral, we will schedule him. You hear later when it will be '
I 'I always do everything needed, would be super nice if you did that too and that applies not only to the cardiology department '
and then I hung up ....

I'm so tired of every time such bullshit (excuse the language) and incredibly sad and angry, yuck!
It's a good thing you speak some persons by phone and not face-to-face :frusty:

 

[Alegna]

Good luck for your doctors appointment Phylis and I hope you'll get some scrapping done!

I hope your coughing will be less soon Nancy, it's tiring.

Good luck with the cleaning and have fun scrfapping this evening!

Hugs to you Chris and Nana! I hope you'll find a bit of sanity and energy on your way today!

 

[Dumpty]

Hi there everyone !

No headache today ! (it's my own brand of PMS Chris ...)
Shitty weather just for my parents' arrival tonight as planned ...
But I have a day off tomorrow and monday (to spend time with my parents) so I've got many reasons to be happy :becky:

Chris - No spare sanity here (none at all I'm affraid) ... no padded cell either, but I do have a pool you can float in if you want
Laurie - having a good day off ?
Kristi - I'm Marie (technically Marie-Laure but I go by Marie out here) but Dumpty is just fine, I've been Dumpty since 1994 and some of my real life friends still call me Dumpty. How are the ducks doing ??
Trudy - I'm so sad about the difficult times you and your colleagues are going through ... it must be so hard on everyone
Phylis - how are things going today ? is the weather back to "normal" ? Hope the foot doctor declares your feet in perfect health !
Angela - So sorry to hear about the medical hassle ... hope everything rights itself soon.
Nancy - Hope you're feeling better today and the cold and cough are not getting worse
Sally - Can't wait to see the quilt !
Cyn - For my name go and see what I wrote for Kristi LOL. My eldest daughter it 13&1/2 and the lying started last year, and I'm totally with you on this : it's the most difficult thing not to be able to trust her ... but I keep talking and listening and talking and listening, and sometimes I feel like I'm getting through
Tracy - cheers hon' get some sleep and DO open photoshop please : I love what you do
Nana Linda - get a protection mask on against all that sneezing going on around (((hugs)))

 

[Kiliki]

ducks are good we just got the other 6 this morning and only 4 of them made it.....sad but that's okay I am okay with just 8 ducks

 

[taxed4ever]

Morning peeps... Well I might be a very permanent fixture here for the next while. As I try to obtain new employment, (or not)?? DH told me he would not be mad if I was without a job, but its already started this morning... the tension is very prominent, he can be such an ass sometimes!! Too bad for him, I have been a good wife, mother, taxi driver, cook, cleaning lady and caregiver since I was out of high school!!!! I am over the working for a living part of my life :rant: I am sad and tired, I am worried about my friends who no longer have an income!! :sorry: for being such a whiner !!

Chris - I truly hope that you are feeling normal again soon, it sucks that you can't even enjoy a glass of wine at the end of your very busy day!! Good luck at the grocery store, watch out for those shopping carts with the old ladies attached to them!! :becky:

Nana Linda - Can't imagine what you are going through with the allergies! I have never suffered with anything like that. Sending you healing hugs and lots of tissues while you cope with Spring!!

Kristy - You are right!! Sanity is very much overrated!!

Laurie - Can I come over and use your hot tub too?? I could bring the wine and some nice plastic wine glasses and we could drown my sorrows together! :becky:

Nancy - Glad to hear that the temps are going to improve for your area!! Sure hope the coughing stops for you, it can be so irritating!! :hug:

Phylis - Hope your appointment with the foot guy goes well for you! Hopefully your mojo will find its way back to your computer screen and it chases away those wiggly light thingys!! :jedi:

Angela - Dammmmm Drs. and Appointments!!! I remember very well how frustrating it is to deal with some of the idiots that work in the drs offices and hospitals!! Everything was a fight and I mean everything when my DD was so sick. It was a fight to get them to change her bed or give her a bath, I always just did it myself, which is what they probably were waiting for me to do anyway!! :frusty: I hope that you get your appointment taken care of without any more hassle!! :hug:

Marie - thanks for the kind words!! Such a sad situation at work for so many!! A whole family of friends torn apart by this nasty takeover!! Glad your headache is gone and I hope that your time with your parents is well spent!! How nice that you have days off to enjoy with them!!

Well I guess I may as well try to get some spring cleaning started seeing as I have so much time on my hands now. Hopefully lots of scrapping to be done too!! Enjoy the day everyone :wave:

 

[LaurieW]

I think we need group hugs this am- and you can all come to my hot tub- wine included! I would pamper you all- cause having my O friends over would be so pampering to me- cause you get me!

 

[faerywings]

I could use a padded cell with some good meds too...sanity is overrated LOL....

truth!!!!!

And PMS/Tindamax should be illegal. I cried my way through shop rite today. In the second aisle, they had a plaque with a dog footprint and the words read "If love could heal you, you would live forever." *sobs*
I miss my Harley so so much, She was the one I would turn too when I felt like this and let me cry into her fur non-stop.....

 

[faerywings]

virtual hugs and hugs to all of you........ is it something in the air?

[MrsPeel]

ok, I will try...am sure today I can remember more than one person's post

Chris: sanity? what's that????
and you complain about PMS? (am sure there was someone else on this too)
wait till you are menopausal....
that ll give you something to complain about !!!!
:madgrin:

Marie/Dumpty (and I m singing in my head *sat on a wall* lol)
hope things go well...and is true, we talk, talk, talk...some of it does get through...else we wouldn't be here talking.... it was my parents talk that got me through the worse of my life

Phyllis what type diabetes do you have? I am here remembering that I read you visited your parents grave? I used to go to my grandmas every time I was in South America... hope you are doing well, lots of huggzzz from here.

Angela: oh girl, I hear you, loud & clear.
we aren't in the same country, but the human race deals with medical care in the same frustrating manner everywhere.... sending you big hugggzzz and hope things go easy on you... give him huggz from us here too.

so...Geek Girl?
you know, the girl who said she thinks she is my daughter?
(I was literally laughing very loud here!!!)
is she/are you Tracy Martin then? the designer?

you can be my daughter ANY TIME.
every time you lie, or don't tidy up your bedroom, or go hang with the wring company....
you have to make mum a kit.

mwuahahahahahahahahahahahaha
:hippie:

Ok, am gonna be of as my girl is tomorrow performing the premiere of Evita, I suffer from agoraphobia apart from my physical stuff so I need to get a good night sleep, start getting myself together VERY early in order to be able to get out and drive and sit through the play in the theatre....

sending a huge lot of virtual huggzzz to all of you wonderful girls & boys!!!!!
be back tomorrow

 

[taxed4ever]

Phylis NOOOO I QUIT, that's why hubby is mad!! I don't care they wanted to increase my hours and make me work weekends, no way, no how am I doing that!! I'm too old to work those long hours!!

 

[terryb]

Ok. move over. I need room in that cell too!!

Seems like all I am doing is driving 75 miles each way to the hospital--day in and day out. I'm getting tired!! Ignoring my job, my family----and my SCRAP time!!!!

Ok--I feel better now.

Seriously, looks like my mom will be coming home on Tuesday. That does not mean she is ready---insurance will only pay until Tuesday. She still can't walk by herself---stand by herself-----it's going to be rough when she gets home. To top everything off--the pain in the right side--is back. This was the initial complaint that prompted me to take her to the doctor in the first place. The pain is excruciating. Poor thing. Left hip replaced. Now the pain on the right side. Plus--I heard from the oncologist today--confirmed diagnosis of multiple myeloma. He doesn't want to start treatment until she is released from the orthopod that did the hip surgery. I'm sure that will be another couple of months or so.

In the meantime---I went to the GYN doctor today for my yearly check up. Something looks suspicious on the right side and have to have an ultrasound in a couple of weeks. Hoping the pap comes back ok. I had issues with the pap a couple of years ago--something like precancerous cells. I'm not even going to worry about things---worrying wouldn't change the outcome anyway.

First things first--take care of my mom.

I'm hoping things settle down soon. Miss popping in here and having time for personals. Just know I am thinking of all of you.

 

[LaurieW]

Hugs to you too, Terry
