What's on your agenda for today?

Good Morning, everyone.

Holly, I'm so sorry the surgery doesn't seem to have worked. I hope when you go to Spain, you'll be able to really relax, maybe get some warm Spanish sun on it and totally forget about the job and the stress. Does massage help?

Well, I got a rare 8+ hours of sleep last night and I feel good. The weather prediction for San Diego is partly cloudy and temp in the 60s, not blazing hot - just the way I like it. The only thing on my agenda today is to find a shoe repair shop where I can get a minor repair on my summer Sketchers - then my best summer walking shoes will have at least one year of wear left in them. Coffee sometimes doesn't agree with me but I have a strong craving for a Starbucks Blonde Roast this morning . . . I'd better find a distraction or I just might give in to temptation . . . I hope everyone has a wonderful day! :)

Glinda, what temptation are you referring to? Is there room for two? Lol. I hope it is something I haven't yet experienced.

As you know, both mermaids and witches are subject to many temptations, but here I meant only Starbucks Blonde Roast and you're certainly welcome to join me . . . I can smell it now . . . ohhhh, coffee heaven
 
:eek:nthego:Thank you, Glinda, I accept. However, I think we should put our heads together to come up with something truly spectacular once you are feeling better. Perhaps we should hold a raffle. Lollolllol!!:love_heart:
 
Hm. I know that a bar of soap under the bottom sheet works for cramps. Maybe try it for RLS, too? Can't hurt, right?

Today's client decided that it should be Cleaning Fairy Day and gave me flowers and candy! Imagine:)
 
Yes, indeed, Ameriscot. Lucky for me, my other nine clients are just as nice as she is. I've had some doozies in the past...key word being past:) In six years, I've made a few bad choices in accepting new clients. They didn't last long. So far (knock wood) nobody's fired me, but I've fired the bad choices.

Thanks Andree, for the suggestion. I'm pretty sure every long time RLS sufferer has tried the soap trick, I was told specifically to use Ivory Soap. As you can tell from my earlier comment, it didn't help me. I belong to a FB group of RLS sufferers and reading those threads is really depressing. I'm fortunate that my affliction relatively minor.

Is that restless leg syndrome? I get that occasionally and have yet to figure out why I get it at sometimes and not others. Drives me NUTS!

I have muscle spasms at night. Take Zanaflex, at bedtime. Did not realize how effective it was until they took me off it in the hospital. Think that would help, Josiah?

Yes restless leg syndrome. Usually affects people in the evening and often disturbs sleep. It's not a well understood neurological condition which bothers many people episodically and some people chronically. I've tried for years to correlate something in the day's activities with it's occurrence that evening with no success what so ever. Annie, don't let some doctor give you an Rx for RLS. Typically the med will work for a few months and then stop working and suddenly your RLS in much worse than before you went on the drug.

I don't have it often enough to ask a doctor about it. It happens maybe once a month when I go to bed I can't lie still and sometimes give up and just get out of bed. I just looked up causes and one of them was antihistamines. I've been taking them daily for allergy for about 3 years and that is about the same amount of time I've had RLS.

Antihistamines may be a trigger. Usually what I do when I have an onset of symptoms is get up and pursue some activity that keeps me on my feet for half an hour or so and then go back to bed. My house typically gets cleaned in the middle of the night.

I'll just have to deal with occasional RLS I guess as the benefits of antihistamines have been enormous. I'd have trouble housecleaning at night though as I'd wake up hubby.
 
Morning all...

Just getting ready for another day down the mines..
Thanks Nona I slept not too badly last night..at least I got some relief from the pain..:)

Forecast is for mostly heavy rain today..*sigh*...although it's sunny at the moment so at least it'll be a pleasant drive to the Pit face..

I've been offered a different venue to work..permanently,(same company) it's closer to home, so less of a commute, however there are some drawbacks so I have to weigh up the pros and cons..

I've told H/O I'd give it some thought....gotta do some more research first

Have a good day everyone.. :D
 
Back Home from Slovakia
