Christmas Countdown - 2012

[xmas365]

Whew ... we were without Internet access since about 5:30 last night, even though our e-mail was fine. Finally traced the problem to our Cisco Valet Plus wireless router. I think it just needed re-starting, 'cause after I unplugged it and then reconnected it everything seems to be running okay. So I'm suffering from forum withdrawal and trying to catch up with the Countdown.

Mr. has had an awful cold for a few days, so it's been a lousy holiday weekend for him. He's hurt something in his chest from coughing so hard, so it's off to the doctor for him tomorrow. I lost sleep last night worrying about the loss of Internet access (Earthlink "customer service" is usually a nightmare to deal with because of the language barrier) and because Mr. was uncomfortable and restless. Hope we can relax some this evening before I have to head back to work tomorrow.

I hope Mr. feels better quickly.

Was in contact with snowflake she says to tell you hello and that harowe is doing not to bad. some days really good and then some days will not eat. he may need more tests . and now she has headaches we think due to stress and the hubby had the computer with him on business during the week. so thats the message delivered

Thanks for keeping us updated about Snowflake and Harlowe! Keeping Harlowe in our prayers, Snowflake!

Congratulations!

I hope DS gets well soon!

Thank you!

He seems like he is starting to feel better today. He isn't nearly as fussy. Thanks for thinking of him!

Not going to work today, not feeling well. I am quite sure I got it from Lindsay since I have been there 3 days while she and her mom were sick. Nothing serious, really bad headache and no energy. Of course, if I would relax instead of cleaning, maybe it would go away

Hope you feel better soon!

 

[sugar142286]

just to say as well snowflake has said that she wants you all to no she is thinking about you all, she is having problems getting on mmc...but hopes to get it sorted soon

Let her know we're all thinking about her too!

Good evening, MMC!

Snow is melting, but so far no sign of the rain that was forecast. It was a good day for soup - my experiment turned out quite yummy thanks to the mesquite seasoning and mushrooms I added.

Work went well - I qualified for a higher tier of work, but for some reason cannot sign in to access the work. Hopefully I will get it to work tomorrow.

Going to read and relax the rest of the evening.

Have a MERRY evening!!!!!

My mom is still amazed at how quickly her chronic pain has diminished after her surgery. I'm so happy for her, I don't know what to do! She's at physical therapy right now, so she might not come home whistlin' today, but I think she's turned a corner.

That is great news! Hope this continues for her!

Good evening, MMC!

Hey guys! I shared this in the prayer request thread, but thought I would share it here too if that is okay.

My cousin is a teacher and this is an article about one of her former student's siblings who is being denied a kidney transplant by CHOP because she is mentally handicapped http://theloadeddiaper.wordpress.com...to-disability/
This little girl is about 3 years old and from the South Jersey area

Hubby and I went to Chico today to look at cabinets for our kitchen when it is remodeled. I am so excited. One of the units is a master chef area that is for spices and larger items such as olive oil and larger containers of spices, another one with pull out drawers and pull out shelves for regular spices, a cabinet with a double tiered lazy Susan, and a corner "appliance garage" for my Kitchen Aid mixer and other appliences. We will have several of those long pull-out drawers for pots and pans, a cabinet that will hold several cookie sheets and other baking pans, and a large 10 ft. island that will have our sink and dishwasher and more storage!!! Finally a place for all my kitchen stuff!!!

Merry Carey, the good thing about working for a teacher's union is that we are protected for times such as these. Each of us donates days on a yearly basis for other teachers to use if the need should arise. It is normally for people with cancer or other life-threatening illnesses who have to be off work but who do not have a zillion days of sick leave. We get 10 days per year, but the older we get, the easier it is to use those up. At our school alone, more than one-fourth of the staff has ended up with some sort of cancer. It is really scary! As a teacher, too, I will have to be out a lot during chemo because of the lowered immunity and being around kids with illnesses and fevers!!! Tell Mr. to take care of himself!! You, too!!!

I'll be thinking of this little girl. That is horrible.

Thank you! It has been on the area news and it has been going viral on Facebook and Twitter. People have been posting on CHOP's Facebook wall (CHOP= Children's Hospital of Philadelphia). The hope is that the dr will change his decision because with a new kidney, maybe her quality of life could improve

As between sleep and coffee, there is no contest.
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!

Amen to that! I believe sleep is such a gift! I never get enough of it! I get WAYYYY more coffee.
