Good Morning to my friends...and hope you all have a peaceful Sunday...

Gale force winds have been gusting here in the south for the last few days, but very little rain...however the North of England and the Scottish borders is currently being battered by Hurricane desmond, and lots of homes have been destroyed by burst riverbanks , and lots of damage caused by falling trees and broken buildings. Must be horrendously traumatising to see your home and all of your belongings destroyed completely in an instant.. :(

Anyway not doing much today, just resting after a very hard long day yesterday...in an attempt to be less sore to face to workhouse again tomorrow morning...oooh the things we do to keep our minds and bodies oiled..*sheesh* LOL..

Yes Georgia in Answer to your question chikadee , I'm working Christmas Eve, and off Christmas day...and I'm also working NYE as well.., I'm going to try and negotiate Christmas Eve off., I might be lucky...but I definitely will have to work New Years Eve..

Hubs has gone to the farmshop for me to get some Organic meat and veggies, and then he'll go pick up the dry goods from the supermarket on the way home...so today I can just veg in front of some Trash tv..and catch up with the forums..

Enjoy your day folks...:D

Thinking of you Holly. Nothing special today except my favorite library used shelves. Had to make two trips to my car plus a cart for books I was donating back. Did I mention I REALLY like to read? One was a hardcover of "Unbroken", my Dad said it is awesome.

Fur, I'm an avid reader too but almost always Non fiction.... however I have a brand new copy of ''Unbroken''...I bought it after reading the excellent reviews about it ...but try as I might I just cannot get into it...
 

Bless you Rose..but only until friday, so not too long for those results ...and then the following Monday 21st I have finally got my MRI scan for my back...that's taken 5 whole months since I had my accident.. :(
 
I'm crossing my fingers for you that you can manage to get Christmas Eve off, too. As for me? I have every day off, but it wasn't always so. If there were clients whose regular day fell on a holiday and they weren't going to be home, their houses got cleaned. Ugh. How did I ever do it?

Hollydolly, do you buy your books for Kindle or do you buy "real" books with pages?
 
I remember Georgia...you were always racing around and cleaning...it used to make me feel exhausted LOL.

Yep Real books for me..I've deliberately dug my heels in over the years against electronic reading devices even tho' I travel a lot and it would make sense, but I just like the feel and smell of real books...and always they are Hardbacks....butttttt....I've given in, and I've accepted an offer from my daughter to buy me the Kindle Paperwhite for Christmas...so although I know for sure I won't enjoy it like a HB book...it may be more useful when I'm travelling :D
 
Whatsisname, The Father of My Children, says one of the advantages of using a Kindle is that you can eat an ice cream cone while reading, and another is that if the doorbell rings, you can answer it without putting your book down and losing your place. LOL
 
I'm old school, I want real books, not a screen to read. But my daughter is making me batty this weekend. She doesn't have a regular filter on speech or social cues so she chatters...non-stop...always talking and wanting attention. My son is on a trip so I'm on my own with her. When he's here he'll give me a break and shoo her upstairs to give me some peace. I keep trying to hide and she keeps finding me...rahhhhh
 
I had a restful day yesterday...and for the first time in Months actually managed 8 hours sleep last night...wooohoooooo!!! :goodone: just getting ready to leave for work now..it's still pitch dark out there, but at least the rain and the 80MPH winds have stopped...tomorrow I'm working from home, and today should only be 9 hours.!
 
I love buying books on my iPad ...but I understand enjoying a "real" book. Glad you got some rest, Holly. We had a perfectly peaceful day and later took the baby out for a walk :). She's our little sunshine for sure :)
 
I enjoyed reading everyone's posts from the last few days. Fur and Holly, my youngest son read Unbroken a year or two ago and said it was one of the best books he's ever read. I bought the movie when it came to DVD but did not watch it. I just won't read or watch something that I know will make me sad, even if it does have an uplifting ending. Everyone in the family is kind and tells me if anything has child or animal abuse, torture or graphic murders in it.

I'm here helping out at my daughter's after her surgery and so far about all I've had to do is keep her dog from sitting on her. :) He is a sweet pug and loves his family. After a day or two he learned he could just sit next to her in the living room. She has one of those big comfy sectionals that you can sit on and have your legs stretched out in front of you or sleep on. I'm glad she and her husband have been sleeping on it or I'd have been alone down stairs all night and I don't want to tell them I am a chicken. :) I think my husband will come down today or tomorrow. Today is his 71st BD so the kids are hoping he comes down for that.
 
Hi Linda, I'm the same as you I can't watch anything with torture, or abuse of any kind...I really can't bear it. I don't want to hear about it either from anyone. People come into work and start to talk about a particularly gory film, and I have to walk out of the room..I just don't want to hear it, it makes me sick to my stomach, literally.

As someone who was severely abused as a child, I cannot imagine how anyone want to watch stuff like that in the name of entertainment..that's my own opinion of course , however I fully realise , that if it was never shown..then these things would always be kept hidden from society and and therefore in many ways we'd become silent enablers to the abusers..Rock and a hard place unfortunately, so sadly these things have to be brought to public attention by means of film, Tv or books but certainly I don't want to relive anything like that, and I wouldn't imagine anyone who has suffered abuse of any type would want to watch or read about it either.


On a lighter note...Happy Birthday to your O/H...and I hope your daughter is recovering well from her surgery.. :D
 
Bad day, bad day. Got the results back from my small nerve biopsy and whoopee....the small nerves in the lower legs are "diminished" and "depressed" (well, join the crowd) - "early evolving small fiber neuropathy". Got a prescription and went to fill it - $165 for one month (my Part D won't cover it). I've filed an appeal with my pharmacy provider but I'm pretty sure they won't back down.

Tomorrow's the visit to the cardiologist to get the results from the two days of testing. Just can't wait to see what happens there......

AND I have to babysit most of the day. With a sick 2 1/2 year old. Who is extremely cranky. I can foresee that "Frozen" will be playing on TV repeatedly.
 
OMG!!! Yup that's a BAD , BAD day you're having JJ.....no getting around that! sorry to hear about your expensive diagnosis..what happens if they don't..do you really have to find £165 ..is that just for one month...or will it be monthly?


Wishing you everything you wish for yourself tomorrow...I really do hope you get the best result you could hope for from the Cardiologist .. :)
 
Cattle call interview for Monday...but full time nearby and maybe the degree and car will get me a bit ahead of the pack. I'm getting ready to post an ad " Will bull**** for food!". You can't believe the applications these days. Piddling little positions, most part time and you'd think they want a rocket scientist.

Oh, that would be $165 MONTHLY. Like THAT'S going to happen.
 
Jujube, I'm sorry about your bad news health wise and also that $165 a month. That is a LOT of money to have to come up with every month! :( Did you ask if there is something cheaper that would work just as well?

jujube...check for online coupons! ALWAYS check for online coupons. Google the name of the meds..."xxxx coupons"
Click to expand...

Yeah, I did. That's WITH the coupon. I'm seeing another neurologist on Friday. Maybe he'll come up with something else. Whatever.

At least the cardiology tests weren't too bad. He asked me if I planned to train for marathons. We had a good laugh. My heart function is good enough for about anything but serious running. No problem....this old broad doesn't do serious running. Not even for shoe sales at the mall. The valves leak a bit but then so does my car, so we're a good match. The heart's a little thick, but then so am I. So, no marathons and no heavy hiking above 9,000 feet (dangnabbit.....I was really looking forward to that, too - snort...)

I just want to live long enough to be a burden to my offspring. I'm really looking forward to it - lol.
 
How is everyone doing? I'm doing pretty well. Still down in So California at my daughter's. She is recovering well from her surgery and we are going home Weds I think. I get a lot more walking in down here than I do at home so, for the most part, my legs don't hurt as much. She lives where there are sidewalks and also lots of stores and malls nearby. My husband doesn't like being away from home as much as I do. He misses his projects and my brother. My brother and he talk on the phone every day. Mostly about what all the cats are doing. My brother feeds the outdoor cats by his place and so they follow him around wherever he goes on the property. It's pretty funny to see. He takes care of the one outdoor dog we have and the other 2 are here with us.
 
Good Morning Linda..and everyone good-morning08.jpg

I'm just getting ready to leave for work, so just popping in quickly to say Hi....glad to hear your daughter is recovering well Linda...

yesterday I got my My new Kindle Paperwhite which my daughter sent me for Christmas, with a gorgeous Parisian retro case as well...I';ve never had a Kindle, always couldn't make my mind up about having one because I prefer the feel of real books...but I've already downloaded my first book, and I've got the kindle in my bag to take with me to work.. :D Also got my New IPad Air 2 from hubs this week...and I went online and chose a really lovely real leather cover for it in a beautiful cognac colour , which should be arriving on Wednesday...so I've got My desktop Mac...my Lappy..my Iphone ...now the Kindle , and the Ipad Air 2...and my husband is calling me Gloria Gadget..LOL...
