A quick Howdy and 2019 Well Wishes MMC Countdowners!

a happy new year to you too !

TGIF, Christmas friends!

It's raining and yucky today, but it's Friday! We needed the rain; the mud hole in my driveway was starting to get dehydrated LOL. It's supposed to clear up tomorrow, and hopefully Jacob and I can go fishing. We're going to meet him for dinner tonight, too.

Elizabeth has a tough choice coming up. Her dance company has entered competition dance, and the date is scheduled on the same evening of a pageant that she had entered. She has to decide which to do, and it's really getting her upset. I hope she's happy with whatever she decides.

I'm hoping to have lunch with Mama today. She's been keeping my niece lately, so we'll see.

I hope y'all have a great day!

I'm so excited tomorrow we reach the 4th!! Ok, so not July 4th, but January 4th. Hey they both have a 4 and begin with J and end with a Y. More importantly it's our first weekend of 2019 and that's got to be a little something to be happy about. 51 more and the journey will be over so gotta enjoy them one at a time.

...and then there's Christmas in July six months down the road.

Thank you all. Hopefully once all the doctors round today, they will give me god news and I can get out of here.

god news(sic; no pun intended) from the heavenly medical desk will be welcome.

Good Morning, Folks.

First Weekend Eve of the new year.
And the first day of the rest of our 2019 count!

The latest:
Days to the Season: 313
Days to Christmas Day: 355
And these figures tell us right off the bat that we have now passed under the two week mark to the 300-day Season Milestone!

We had rain yesterday morning, then it was clear for the rest of the day. But this morning has seen the precipitation return and it's raining lightly at this hour.
Our current back yard thermometer reading is 50 degrees here in the capital city.

Have a 2019 Fabulous First Friday, Friends!

Thanks Crown.

That will be cool; hope the weather cooperates; I live on a dead end street and there's a huge generator taking up what used to be a ball field and a large parking lot with lights that stay on all night; they would for sure spoil my view.

What a bummer that the ball field is gone and your view is spoiled!
The weather cooperated, but I overslept.

Tomorrow I have a super long day at work. No one alerted us that our delivery would not come on Thursday this week. It is coming tomorrow morning, so I left early today and will work longer tomorrow to balance it out. I hope everyone has a great night. My aunt also wishes to express thank you for all of the thoughts and prayers

Hope your day goes by quick!
Prayers continue for your family! xx

Thank you all so very much for the kind words, thoughts and prayers. Today was difficult and trying. I awoke to worsening rash and alerted my nurse. I called my husband, because they wanted to give me the same medicine that caused me to have a seizure the other night, but the nurse promised he would stay by side and if something happened, he would have other medicine to give me. I awoke a few hours later to my husband, which I could tell he had been crying. He's very protective and worries greatly about me. He's been very worked up about the whole situation and we talked about having me transferred to Pittsburgh. 3 different doctors have different plans of care and no one can seem to get on the same page. I didn't even get to see a doctor today until 2 pm. Once we did see the docs though and they did better explain things to us, we are happier and are ok with what they have planned. I went through 3 different IV sites though today, because of the swelling and now all of my medication is by mouth, except for my blood thinner. If I end up needing IV again, they'll have to do a PICC line or central line and I don't want that! Hopefully I'll get to go home tomorrow and be off for a few weeks to recuperate.

I thank you all again for the thought and prayers. I'm gonna hit the hay soon, but will keep you all updated!

Aw, your poor hubby! Praying you receive good news from the doctors and that their plan of treatment is the one that will work for you. Keeping all of your family in my prayers and sending you much love and big hugs. {{{HUGS}}}

Good middle-of-the-night Friday everyone! My sleep maintenance insomnia has returned, when I sleep for about 4-5 hours and then wake up and can't fall back asleep until about 2 hours later. I also keep having very vivid dreams about work. We're in inventory mode and it's a stressful time, no doubt that plays into this. At least Loki joins me on the couch when I get up in the middle of the night and HE actually falls right back asleep on my lap.

So we learned that David's shoulder surgery is scheduled for the 31st. We were surprised, we thought it would come more around March. I'll be taking a week off to make sure I can assist him until he gets used to having his right arm immobilized. This surgery brings both hope and anxiousness. It's a 30-minute athroscopic surgery and he will supposedly be awake during the procedure, so it's not an invasive surgery. But there's always a concern about how the recovery process will go. I'm just hoping he will handle the pain well and that after months of physio, he'll be able to use his right arm normally again.

Hope everyone will enjoy a great day ahead!

Keeping you and David in my prayers, Martine. xx

[Meceka]

did you get to see it ?

No, I didn't.
Praying you are better soon! xx

Merry Friday!

The sun is shining, the snow is melting, and I have clothes drying outside on the line. Had to take advantage of the gorgeous weather! An order I was expecting to arrive next week Thursday/Friday is supposed to be delivered today, so I'm working at home today.

Have a merry weekend!!

Don't spoil the moment; young lady. HaHa.

I'll play catch up tomorrow, just poking my head in to tell you I heard a child singing Jingle Bells on the way into the bank on my lunch break. It's still Christmas - unless you want to argue that Jingle Bells is just a winter song.
Stay jolly!
