Daily Ooo's: Thursday, July 18

[faerywings]

Happy Thursday my O-Fam and Happy Coffee!!!! I do not know what I would do without it!

I woke up just utterly exhausted.This is my week on Tindamax (aka Abx from Hell) and .... ugh..... I hate how I herx on it. Everything hurts, but the worst is the irritability. My brain just gets hyper-sensitive and I don't want anyone or anything near me. Last night, Gary tried to gently touch my foot with his and I about ripped his head off. "Don't touch me!!!!"

I was able to get a lot of stuff done around the house which was good but I wasn't able to finish everything. I am trying to register Scott for the SAT's and I need a photo of him as ID. He wasn't home when I was doing this and god help me if I use a photo that he doesn't approve of. Meh.

But I was able to get Caitlyn's course add/drop taken care of. Well, we sent in the forms to the school, we'll have to see what happens on their end. She picked Culinary Arts 2 as an elective but really wanted Photography. I tried to get her to take Photog. last year but she wouldn't listen to her mom.

And I didn't have to fight with the Pharmacy! Thankfully, between the kids and I, we all take so many of the same meds as Gary so that I can fill our Rx's for him. I really shouldn't type that online, should I?
If I disappear, the DEA has me.
Or the NSA.
Maybe the IDSA.

ound:

(explanation on that for the non-USA readers-- DEA is the drug enforcement agency that would get me for sharing neds. NSA is our Security Admin that would get me for my outspoken political beliefs. IDSA is the Infectious Disease agency that refuses to acknowlege that chronic lyme disease exists and prevents us from being able to get proper treatment. I don't trust all of these agencies. but esp I hate the IDSA. LOL)

Off to work this morning and I am really hoping for some scrap time this afternoon.......

xoxoxo!

From yesterday:

Phyllis- omg, that rain sounds crazy! Its seems like it is an "all or nothing" type thing., We have not had a drop of rain since last week and everything is drying up and burning. It was down to 79* here overnight. Crazy!!!!
Hope that you were able to get to Costco safely and through not too many detours. And were able to make it out of Costco with some money still left in the bank
ITA- the little things like Erin saying I was beautiful really do keep me going!

Trudy- your lunch with your friends sounds really lovely. I wish we could all do that together too. That would be so much fun!
I hope that you find your mojo too..... I hate it when it is gone this long....

Laurie- ack! hot hot hot!!! That is awesome news about your dh getting the reservation so you can attend.
How are your kids doing in the this heat? Hope they don't meltdown on you.

Since Phyllis is going to move to Seattle, can I move to Portland? I hear that it is a nice, progressive town and I bet I'd fit right in. Then I would be sort of close to you? LOL

From Tuesday:
I was in the middle of a post from Tuesday when Gary very sweetly brought me a cup of coffee but put it down on my tablet which made my page go Back and I lost everything. I was running late... (again....) and didn't have time to re-type. So here is my next attempt!

Nancy- are you melting yet? Your bird watching sounds so nice! Good idea to get in some time in the Meadlowlands before they start/finish/whatever it is they want to do with the "American Dream Mall." I wonder where all of the birds and wildlife will go then.

trudy- hope that Heather and Mason get some relief from this heat soon.
And Hoy Cow!!!! That can is amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You might not have scrap mojo ATM, but you sure have amazing mad painting skills!!!!!!!!
(Again, I tell you that you have got to do these as a "job." Etsy??? On Commission?? YOu are so damn talented my friend!)

Laurie and Phyllis-- yes, very Hot! :flame:

'morning. another night with the AC going all night. gaaah!! i'll be glad when this heat wave is over. i want some fresh air moving through my house!gotta go out and water the plants, i guess, though we're suposed to get some more lf those nutty storms again today.

today it's a trip to Gymboree at The Mall to use my GymBucks on clothes for The Grandmen and some new babies of friends and family. might be fun. i get to buy something for a little GIRL, for a change!

Chris, i soo get the "don't touch me!!" thing. on days like that, i tell my family to imagine a big bubble around me and tell them not to come inside the bubble. sometimes even air from a FAN gets to me!! i hope you get to feeling better, soon, sweetie. there's nothing as bad as feeling like your own body is The Enemy.

OK. off to do my roundandround walking outside before it gets too hot and then give my plants a drink. Happy Thursday, Ozies. :becky:

Good morning - my last post until I come home in about 2 weeks. My sister arrived yesterday from AZ so today finish up the packing and get me to the airport on time. I will miss you ladies.

Have great days and I will be back LOL

Morning girlies! Everyone is up and busy already this morning. I woke up at 2am not sure why?? No dream, did not have to pee, not a hot flash???? WTH!!! I tossed and turned for over an hour before falling back to sleep and then woke up at 5am to have a tinkle and right back to bed and slept until 7am. OMG I just want one night where I sleep straight through the night :hurt:

Chris - Sure hope your brain fog lifts! Poor Gary, sounds like you might have bit his head off!! LOL But seriously I do hope that you feel better very soon!! Thanks for the nice compliment on my painting, I do enjoy it, but really don't think that there would be much profit in it?? Who knows? Hope you find your mojo today! I actually did a couple of pages yesterday that I can't post yet, so I was happy to have at least a bit of my mojo return to me. Enjoy your day my friend and it would be great if you could move to Portland!! No taxes on purchases in Oregon and a beautiful place to live!!

Phylis - Ugghh not more stormy weather for you!! My DD has been cooped up in her little house for almost 2 weeks now with the AC going and she is really sick of it!! This hot humid weather that you are all having is really horrible and I hope you get relief very soon!! Just 17 more days and I will have all of my kids and grandkids back home with me, I can hardly wait Have fun shopping for a little girl today!! Something I have to do soon too, I like to get everyone something when they get home for a visit, so I better get on with it.

Nancy - Ohhhhh have a wonderful trip!! I hope your flight is trouble free and that your vacation is the stuff that dreams are made of!! Sure wish I was going with you! Have lots of fun, we will miss you too! Bon Voyage !! :wave:

Off for my walk before the sun gets too intense, not much else to do today so hopefully I can get lots of scrapping done! Have a wonderful day everyone :wave:

Good late morning-I have been focused on getting stuff done today. The weekend will be full and today no one but myself to get in my way. I have lots of mini cleaning tasks to be done, and I have to use the hand mower to mow a lawn- then a shower for sure!! It is hot here as well. Not sure if we will get storms today or not? Time will tell. I am finishing my lunch break and scrapping for a bit before I go out in the heat!

Hi girls!

I'm so sorry I'm not here more often, but I'm so busy with everything. I'm cleaning my house in a big way. I'm finished with the bedrooms, bathroom and the livingroom and the garden in front of the house. The kitchen is almost done and the backyard too. After that the biggest mess has to be taken care of, the attic and the shed .... not looking forward to it especially since most of the stuff isn't mine, but it has to be done ....

I hope everything is ok with all of you!

big hugs!

Oh Angela - what a task, but how much better your energy will flow once it is done! I just finished mowing by push mower- 3 times when the clouds covered the sun, I showered and now I need to address dinner and paperwork- but I want the house to be clean so this is a good thing. I do need to head into town to the post office and grocery, but just the little town 5 minutes away, not the town I work in 25 min away!
