Doing ok here. Stayed over at work the past couple nights cuz of the weather but home and happy now. Still dangerously cold here. I'm tucked away in the house with no plans.
Sorry this happened, Cinnamon and hope she is able to get medical attention soon. Yeesh, of all the times. :/well, dang
my daughter (in N. GA with ice everywhere) texted me this AM to say she fell on the ice and she thinks she fractured her leg She was an ER nurse for years, so she's doing everything she can at home since the roads are still pretty much impassible and urgent care is closed. No electricity at this time but they have heat.
She hopes to get to an orthopedic MD tomorrow... time will tell if I am making a trip north this week to help with the girls or not.
Did I pray for patience or to have my character built up? Lol...
I know she's a resourceful, strong woman and will be ok. It's just hard to be so far and not be able to help
I pretty much put everything for the rest of the week on hold, just in case@CinnamonSugar, you must feel so helpless right now. Maybe the roads will be safe for driving on tomorrow and you can go if needed. {{hugs}}
I no longer work, haven't for a number of years so I don't know if the hospital is still using it. Both the local bank and credit union do have them at the drive-thru teller windows; I do use those.Though I’ve heard references to this system I’ve never seen it in Canada. Do you still the tube system.
Good to know. As it happens, I have a few Ring Dings tucked away in the kegerator. (Can't get them here so I stock up when I or a family member visits the east coast.) I LOVE Ring Dings!Heads up! It's National Chocolate Cake Day.

Thank you, Cali.Took the car into the shop, it sounds a bit like a Harley ...but it chugged along and made it. They want $972.32 to fix coils & plugs etc. Could be worse, it's an old car.
I'm edgy today -- trying to make myself relax and not stress.
@Medusa ~ totally relate to being meh! Hope your day gets better! Taking care of yourself is a very good thing.
@Trila ~ unfortunately, I can absolutely relate to tummy problems. Mine has been very upset since I ate half a breakfast burrito yesterday morning, so I'm not going to eat the rest of it (had saved it for today). Sometimes, I think I would be better off on a liquid diet! Hope you feel better!

She got an xray at urgent care yesterday, verifying fracture. She’s got several pieces of mobility equipment to be able to get around. She’ll see on orthopedic MD Friday. She’s holding up ok. Thanks for asking, @Georgiagranny@CinnamonSugar What news of your DD? Has she been able to see a doc yet?
Y'all! I want a medal. I actually put on my outside clothes and made a turn around the back yard to pick up debris left over from the wind this weekend. And I took out the trash. As if that wasn't enough, I started on another little chore in the kitchen, noticed lots of grubby fingerprints on my cupboards and cleaned them off. Just the ones I saw, of course. I'll look for more tomorrow while I'm waiting on the laundry. Today was a case of "oh, look, shiny."
Now I'm gonna nap for a bit.
Thanks @CaliS ! Those breakfast burritos do a number on me, too! I won't touch 'em, no matter how good they look!Took the car into the shop, it sounds a bit like a Harley ...but it chugged along and made it. They want $972.32 to fix coils & plugs etc. Could be worse, it's an old car.

He has never heard of my condition. So now I will tell my GP. I have no idea on what is next. I am going to keep weaning meds I no longer want or need.
Excellent! It's nice when you can actually find the triggers, vs - everything I eat makes my tummy upset. I am sure I would be better off if I skipped my morning coffee, but ..... I just can't !!Thanks @CaliS ! Those breakfast burritos do a number on me, too! I won't touch 'em, no matter how good they look!
I think I've found the culprit. I usually have nacho chips and cheese for my mid morning snack. A few weeks ago I had a virus and part of it was in my tummy. I think that my stomach lining might still have some minor damage, and the nacho chips are too rough on it. I skipped the chips yesterday, and there were no tummy problems.
I hope you feel better today....hugs!!!
