Good Friday afternoon, my Christmas friends!

My brother and I had lunch wih our mom, then he and I went to look at an old Camaro that another guy had used for parts. He is finished with it, and is willing to sell what's left of it to us. He has a lot a stuff we can use, and the price is pretty good, so we might deal. Jim is trying to haggle on the price for me.

I don't have to work at the store this weekend, so maybe we can get some stuff done on the car.

I hope y'all have a great weekend! cheesy

If we could just get paid for being our own doctor! LOL!

Christmas-A-Holic said:
Oh yeah! I love my doctor!!! He is awesome so I don't want anyone to think I was being critical of him. My situation is just a mystery! One thing he has said recently is that I'm underweight but then my stomach problems and food allergies keep me from being able to eat what I want to eat and have trouble eating a lot at once, then could lead to deficiencies that we can't quite pinpoint, etc. etc. etc. and on and on and on. You get the picture? lol! This is not over yet, still working out a few things, still doing a lot of research but I think I am headed in the right direction. So in a way, I have become my own doctor! =)

This sounds so encouraging, CAH. Keep it up, girlfriend!

I had good energy today at the gym. At one point I started to feel a little sluggish and got a little concerned hoping it was temporary. After I rested a little and refueled with some water and snacks I was okay! In the past, NOTHING worked! I am being cautiously optimistic and hope it continues to get better!

Okay, enough of that! How are you all today? Got big weekend plans??? :yahoo:

This reminds me...how do I add FB to my MMC profile. I would throw up my FB page if I knew how, just in case anyone wanted to connected that way. Wouldn't blame 'em if they didn't though...I wouldn't be friends with myself if I could find a way out of it cheesy.

Awwww...we all think you are a great friend !

Well the neurologisit thinks my mom had a slight stroke. He said that it wouldn't show up in a cat scan for 36 hours unless it was massive. So they are going to do a MRI on her next wednesday to see what it shows. Then they will decide what to do from there. He does think there is probably a little bit of neuroapathy in her leg since she has been having problems with it going numb and tingling for a while but he doesn't think that it would have gotten that much worse that quick.

Her writing is a little better today and her balance is okay but she seems to shuffle her right foot instead of lifting it up when walking.

I'm thinking of you, friend. I will pray everyday that you get a good outcome...

Thanks. They told us they won't have the results of the MRI until thursday afternoon. So it's going to be a long week.

It doesn't help that her insurance is terrible and they have to get the MRI pre approved. They could have gotten her in today if it wasn't for that.

Oh dear, really, important test like that? Hope everything works out, continuing to pray for you both.

I guess I better force myself to go to bed even though I'm not tired. I have my first exam of the semester tomorrow and it's on seven chapters - yikes! I had to study over 150 pages in the textbook, all of my notes, and the powerpoints.

Me right now:

Talk to you all tomorrow! Sleep well & sweet dreams!

I am sure you did well.

We have the most wonderful customers at Subway in Tavistock! One of them stopped in tonight to say thank you for making him great subs and to wish me a happy Valentines day, and gave me this lovely rose. Last week a customer paid for dinner for another when our debit machine was done, telling her simply to pay it forward and do the same for someone else.
I love working in a place were people come first.

That is sweet.

Please send prayers, good vibes and thoughts my way! I am going to the gym again today when I just started back on my Birthday, Wednesday. Why I ask for this request, a few of you already know about some terrible fatigue issues I have suffered in the past and when I would go to the gym in the I always felt WORSE after my workout instead of feeling energized. In general I felt awful all the time and getting ill very easily, not just from working out. That has never been the norm for me. I stayed on a work out routine for over 5 years and always felt great but this time around it lingered on for a long time so I froze my gym membership for several months and worked on a few things with my health in a holistic manner (it would take forever to list everything!). Wednesday I felt awesome after my work out and hoping for the same results today! My whole goal in working out is JUST TO FEEL GREAT AGAIN, nothing else- not trying to lose weight or body building-just need energy to live a long healthy life!!!

This IS NOT a downer post but a "FEEL TERRIFIC POST"!!! Send happy things my way, please!!! I will report back later!

Have a Merry Day my Christmas Friends!!!!

++++ thoughts sent your way!

Harlowe Jean and I just took a nice walk. It was brisk out, but sunny and beautiful at the same time!! We walked along the outer edge of our development, near the woods. This was our view. So peaceful!

Love those brisk wintry days. Were you wearing your Pippi? cheesy
