Christmas Countdown - 2012

[xmas365]

Good morning,

Not much on the docket for today except laundry, just resting my foot which has made a remarkable recovery in the last few days, I almost have no limp, but still a little pain though. I am watching "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" (2011) right now, it is so far a pretty good movie, a lot better than I thought it was going to be.

Have a great day!

Greetings friends. Really nice to get caught up on all that is going on with you guys. I keep in my prayers those of you facing health challenges.

right now it is mild about 55F I am wearing shorts to the gym in fact. High today around 70F then rain coming in tomorrow!

Basically, I am wearing shorts at any temperature over 50F! But, then again, we are climatized much differently.

Good morning, everyone! Hope you're all well! DH and I had a wonderful date last night. It was nice to be out without the kids. We hadn't been out since right after we had DS, which is 7 months.

I am back to work tonight, for 2 nights, then I am off the weekend. Even though I was off last night, I am so excited to be off the weekend!

DH is at work today, so that means the kids are at daycare too.

I am off to get caught up on the countdown. TTYL!

Keep an eye on that, I've had a small lump above my collarbone that moves around for nearly 20 years, I always keep an eye on it, and had more than a few different doctors check it out, and they have not been concerned about it. I hope yours is nothing to worry about, I will keep you in my thoughts.

I agree. I have had a lump on the outside of my left quadriceps since I was 15 or 16 - about 10 or 11 years ago. Apparently, it is torn muscle fibers. It is common amongst runners that train really hard, especially while they are growing. I've had it checked out a couple times, but they have said nothing negative about it. Still, have that small lump around your jaw looked it. It can't hurt.

For once I'm glad it's Monday. I was out of work sick again on Thursday and Friday, and I was getting a little sick of being stuck at home.

Sorry to hear you weren't feeling well. Hope you're feeling okay today!

what a shock for the owners!

They were interviewed last night & said they probably wouldn't reopen because of their age & health. It showed the cash register with all the money burned up, burned flowers & gifts, & their cat is gone too. They said they would refund all customers who had already paid for Valentine's Day flowers & gifts. So sad.

was flipping through channels and caught the end of one show and they were playing Silent Night. (I think it was Emily of New Moon)
It was a nice treat!

Evening everyone
Hope all is good with yourselfs.family and fur and non fur babies
Have not been posting to much this last few days

If you remember me telling you about 5 weeks ago that my next door neighour that her daughter had died.
Well she went in to hospital the day the daughter was buried and was in for 2 weeks. they could not find out what was wrong with her
She wanted home and they let her. and what a mess!! this past 2 weeks she has been getting weaker and weaker and now she can hardly talk and sleeps nearly all the time. today they got the dr for her and the news is not good. he has said two weeks if that her chest is not good
So they left oxygen down for her and not one of then can use it.
I Have tryed to explain and i might as well be taking to scooby . when do i no when to give it to her. how much do i give her. she does not have to use it yet. but i have been in formed that if she needs it they are gonna get me in. so every night am gonna be waiting on the wrap at the window as they are gonna stay with her at nights now about time
They know i was a marie curie carer and by the time they get a team set up from marie curie it might take longer than 2 weeks.
Other than that all is quiet wether is not to bad some try days and the cool no frost or snow
YOU all take care

Sorry to hear about your neighbor. I will keep her in my thoughts and prayers. She is lucky to have you!

I wore a regular shoe all day on my bad foot, that is a good sign of it getting better, I told my job it looks like net Thursday is the day if no setbacks.

That's great news! Hope everything works out that you're able to get back to work by then!

Good morning everyone! I got some bad news from my Sister this morning; her step daughter (that lives out of state) broke her arm yesterday, and she might have to have surgery. She's at the orthopedist's right now, and they knocked her out so that they can manipulate the arm and see if they can keep the lateral motion under control while it heals. If not, she'll need to have rods in her arm for 8 months. Which will effectively cancel her baseball and wrestling activities for a good while.

 

[sugar142286]

Okay, which one of you sick people gave me your cold? Time to take some Nyquil and go to bed.

Hope you are starting to feel better!

 

[sugar142286]

Sorry I haven't been around for the past couple of weeks. Been trying to get my head wrapped around this new IT class that I'm taking and ugh...it's getting there but it's hard to teach an old dog new tricks!

You don't have to apologize! We understand you're busy. Stop in when you can!

Hope all is well with you otherwise! Good luck with your class! :grin:

 

[MerryBells]

We just had a text message from my sister's step-daughter's Mom; she is having rods put in her arm as I type. She broke both the radius and ulna in the left arm, and the orthopedist's opinion was that rods were unavoidable. She'll have them in for a certain amount of time, then she'll have to have surgery again to remove them. Boo. Looks like it's time for Aunt MerryBells to spoil her step-niece again.

I am nearly at 2,500 posts. Only seven more now. It's taken me a while to reach this goal... Although I really don't post a whole lot outside of this thread!

Sad news in our tiny town. We have two flower shops in town. One of them caught on fire last night, destroying around $150,000 of Valentine gifts...

I didn't even know this place was still open, but the news said it had been there for 25 years. They interviewed the owner, who was on a delivery when the fire started. He was crying & it was horrible. It's a horrible thing to happen anytime, but especially before his busiest day of the year. I know I shouldn't wonder about this part, but I do---what will happen about the orders & money he's already taken in for deliveries today? I hope people are understanding & don't give hime a hard time; he's got enough to deal with right now.

That's so sad! Prayers for this owner and his family!

Going to take a break to eat lunch and watch some Sex and the City :wink:
