Christmas Countdown - 2013

[VictoriaLT]

Good evening to all! Hope your day went well. (I somehow feel it's Monday today. Oh well. ^^) I finished my essay today - yay for that - and it now gives me more time to work on habitat survey. I think I'm gonna struggle with it but on the other hand, I don't have other choice than complete the survey anyway. I hope to sail through it somehow. I'm going to the field tomorrow - all by myself. I hope for the best. :] Best wishes to all!

Thank you everyone for all of your thoughts, well wishes and prayers....It truly means the world to me. I have had sort of a rough patch this year as a hole, to which I have only mentioned to a few of you here...

So, this sudden news, only added to the weights that are already on my back. However, I am an optimist and I do believe in a higher power....

My youngest brother is handling most of the work, while I am providing comfort for my grandfather. It appears that my father donated his body to science, so there will be no funeral, no viewing and no expenses. I look at it like this, if that's what he wanted, so be it. Ironically, my brother just called me 30 minutes ago and told me that Johns Hopkins just called him and asked him if they could have his brain. That's a really weird phone call to get.....

I take it all in stride, Well, I guess it's all in the name of science.... So, they keep his body for awhile, cremate it, and return the ashes in 6-8 weeks. After that who knows. My brother is going to handle the estate and everything else and that's fine with me. Dealing with all this stuff, is one major pain in the can...

I'm tired, haven't had much sleep so I'm going to see Mr. Ambian tonight. I'll see you all tomorrow...nighty-nite~:wink:

Continuing to pray for you all.

Good evening!
Where did the time go today? I had such a hectic day. We had two doctor appointments, one for me and one for my daughter. My errands included a trip to the post office, bank, supermarket, Target and two trips to Rite Aid. I spent the rest of the day taking care of the animals and getting all of my chores done. I'm tired and I'm going to turn in a little early tonight.
Thanks to all who sent get well wishes to my daughter. It looks like she just picked up a little cold.
I hope tomorrow will be less hectic!
I'm thinking of you all and praying that everyone is well.
See you in the morning.
Goodnight and sweet dreams!

Good Tuesday afternoon, my Christmas friends!

I've been a bit busy this morning, hence my tardy post. I had a city council meeting last night that was supposed to be short & sweet, and became long and sour. Ok, not really sour, but long, anyways. :wink: I got home to a cold supper and sink full of dishes to wash. Ho hum.

Tonight is the first family-night supper we've had a Nancy's parents' since her mom got sick last year. I'm looking forward to that.

I hope y'all have a great day! cheesy

Have a wonderful supper, Brad!!

Enjoy the supper!!! I hope you don't have to do dishes tonight! ;-)



Great explanation Merry!







Thank you for the prayers! They got to talk to the doc. He isn't concerened that it's cancer, he thinks it's probably infection. But it will take 2-3 days to get the cytology report back & up to 6 weeks to get the culture back. Geesh! Hopefully the cytology report comes back fine & they can go ahead & start him on an antibiotic for infection!! (and then hopefully it helps!!!) Just got a text they are on their way home. YAY!!!

That's good news, praying the report comes back quick so the antibiotic regimen can begin!

((Hugs))

Good morning everyone! It looks like it is going to be party cloudy and partly rainy here. Sorry I didn't show up here last night. My flatmate turned 25 so few other people in the house and me arranged him a little surprise. He had birthday cake as well so we were sitting, chatting and eating yummy cake until midnight. It was nice of him. ^^ Also, I bought my ticket to Lithuania yesterday too. Unfortunately, I will be staying in Scotland on Christmas. Tickets were too expensive for the Holiday. Anyway, I'm going home for New Year so I'm happy I will be able to celebrate at least New Year with my family. I'm getting ready to go to the campus, and I will see you all in the evening. Have a nice day!

Happy Birthday to your friend! Glad to hear you will be able spend some of the holiday with your family.

Good morning, MMC! I only have a minute or so - but just wanted to say hi! I have my tests at the hospital this morning. I'm getting the stress test on the treadmill and then an echocardiogram. I have the worst caffeine headache right now. I haven't been allowed any caffeine / caffeine free drinks / chocolate for 24 hours because of the stress test. I usually drink two cans of pop and something with caffeine for breakfast, so I'm missing it right now, lol!

Well I have to be out of the door here soon. I'm sure I'll be spending most of the day at the hospital.

Talk to you guys later! Have a great day!

I just feel in my bones you are going to be fine! Hospitals are boring places, make sure to take a book along!

Good Morning MMC!!!!! It's going to be a cloudy but decent day here with a high in the upper 50's. Then heavy rain tomorrow. Yuck!! Well some good news and bad news from the doctor this morning. The good news, the fracture is about 70% healed. Which I'm surprised with as much walking as I have been doing. The bad news is though, I have to wear this boot for another 2 weeks since it's not completely healed. Boo!!!!! After those 2 weeks are up, I can go back to my normal shoe and walk but I'm supposed to go another 6 weeks without pain. Then I can slowly build myself back up to where I was before over the next 6 weeks. Way to drawn out for me but at least it will be winter and I won't want to be outside walking as much anyways. I hope everyone is having a GREAT DAY!!!!!!!!!!!

so you will be cast free before Christmas, that totally rocks!!!

Good morning!!! I am working my way through catching up on posts. Not sure if I'll make it before lunch!! :smile:

My Dad is in the middle of a biopsy on his vertebrae right now - hoping & praying all is going well there! Has me nervous this morning! My sister took him. She just sent a text that the girl who brought him back for the procedure is from town here. Small world.

Hope you are all having a great day!

praying all is well with you dad.
((((HUGS))))

I finished my tests quickly at the hospital today. They didn't find anything (thank goodness) which means the high heart rate is just my normal. He told me that I could go on beta blockers if I want to, but it is very difficult for people my age to adjust to them. He said that I am not in any danger if I do not take them, so I am just going to leave it alone. I'll see if it's still an issue in 10-15 years and then go from there.

Thanks for all of your well wishes, thoughts, and prayers! It's amazing what they can do

I knew it! So happy for you!
