Christmas Countdown - 2017

[Holiday]

Good evening,

A better day here, my youngest was a lot better, he went to school with no problems. My oldest stayed home sick. Just to let you know, my youngest has been diagnosed with an anxiety disorder, and we started him on a medication that he had a very bad reaction to. It was scary, his highs he would peak be full of life and laughs, then 2 minutes later he would crater. He would just stare off and grunt, and we couldn't get him to move, and when he would talk it was scary what he was saying. We pulled him off the meds yesterday because of the stuff going on. He only had one mild meltdown today, and I think it was because he has a crush on the dental hygienist. He was too nervous to do all that she needed him to do, and he melted down when it was his brothers turn. The hygienist let him finish after his brother was done.

My scheduled day off tomorrow, I am planning to take down the trees.

I hope you all had a great day

Goodnight, everyone

Prayers for your son! I hope things settle down for him.
Sorry to hear you are taking down your tree's today! I may take some of mine down tonight too. My sis is giving Mom a perm so she will be busy tonight - I might take a night off from going to the NH! Would be a good night to take things down I guess. (NOT READY)

Morning MMC! People at work told me I should have stayed home yesterday but I made it through. I slept pretty good and feel at least a little better this morning (so far). I still am sick but if I went in yesterday then I definitely am going in today. I was thinking of maybe leaving an hour early to get home and rest a bit. I may tell my boss that. She knows I'm sick anyways and I haven't called in sick to work in 3 and a half years. I guess that I should have ended that streak yesterday but I didn't so here I go again to work. Other than that everything here is ok and I hope it is by you. Anyone still seeing any lights out?
Have a great Thursday aka Friday Eve!

Your co-workers would probably appreciate you not sharing your germs!! LOL!! Hope you feel better as the day goes on!!

Good Morning, Folks.

Well, with the 300-day Season Window now open, establishing us in the 200's for our Season count, it's time to turn our attention to the next Milestone, number two on our thread launch post chart.
Are you ready?
Well hold off for a few seconds while we present and study today's numbers.

Days to the Season: 298
Days to Christmas Day: 340

OK. Enough studying. On to the next marker.
Let's consult the chart.
Hmmmm.....
Well, it would appear that February 12 is the critical date in question.
<< What happens then, Crown? >>
Well......and you had better sit down for this......on that date we will be ONE QUARTER OF THE WAY TO CHRISTMAS SEASON 2017!
<< No!! >>
What? You don't believe me, little voice? Just check the chart. It never lies.
<< I'm shocked and stunned Crown, but thanks for letting us know. >>
Don't mention it.


Beautiful weather of late with highs in the 60's and not much rain to mar things.
The warm weather should continue for a while, but not necessarily the dry conditions.
This AM has commenced here in Raleigh at 41 degrees.


Have a Thrilling Thursday, Everyone.
(And I know you will, because tomorrow is Weekend Eve once again!)

Feb. 12, huh? Well that's right around the corner. Also the day we return from vaca - good thing there will be something to celebrate!!!

Merry Friday Eve!

 

[HomemakinGirl]

Sending extra hugs, thoughts & prayers your way. Hope they figure something out quick & easy for you. Liver & onions?
Hope your daughters results are ALL GOOD too!!!
(((HUGS)))

Thanks again Holiday. Not sure about the liver & onions lol, but I should probably do some research today on foods that fight anemia!
I hope all goes well and your mom gets to come home Saturday. Have a great day. Sending hugs!

Hi.
I have just joined so looking forward to meeting everyone and talking about Christmas witout been told off lol,

Welcome to the countdown!

 

[SydneyBeems]

Just wanted to pop in quick to say hello. First time I'm posting since Saturday. Life has been hectic. Lots of doctor appointments lately. Been a stressful week so far. Would you please send up a prayer for my youngest. We are waiting for biopsy results, should have them by the end of the week. Trying to stay calm for her but I'm a nervous wreck. I'm very upset that she has to deal with something like this already, she's only 20 years old.
I have an appointment this morning with my general physician for a physical and to go over blood work results. I was thinking about canceling but I guess I'll go. Been struggling with fatigue and some other symptoms. My issues seem irrelevant right now. I'm just concerned about my daughter.
I hope things eventually slow down so that I'm able to spend more time here. I try to read the countdown posts as often as I can so I keep up with what's going on, everyone is always in my thoughts <3
Hope everyone has a Happy Pines Day.[/QUOTE of you and you r

Praying for you and your family

Interesting. LOL!!!!

Lol...Its gotta be bad for you. But its so good!! To this day my grandpa cant even smell Spam without being sick. He had to eat so much of it during WW2 it lasted him all these years.

Interesting. LOL!!!!

Good morning ~
It's going to be a nice day, partly sunny & mild with highs near 50 degrees. Not too much going on here, I just took Maggie for a walk. I'm going to take a ride to the supermarket soon to pick up a few things, I'm making the girls tacos for dinner. My husband and I are going to grab something out, we're heading in to Brooklyn tonight to see the Islander game. My daughter gave us a pair of tickets for Christmas. We'll be sitting in the 10th row up from the ice, never sat that close before. Looking forward to it, should be a fun night. That's about it for me. Hope everyone is well and has a wonderful day <3

If you feel the need to leave early to rest (and you should!), tell her that you're not feeling any better, and you don't want to pass the cold along to others. Some workplaces prefer sick employees to stay home so the office won't have to deal with an epidemic!

 

[MerryCarey]

You have come to the right place!

What he said! There are Christmas conversations here every day!

Good Morning, MMC!!! It's going to be another rainy here. That will be 10 days in a row that we have had rain and I don't even remember what the sun looks like. Not to much going on here today. I'll just be praying for CAH as she goes in for surgery. Might run to the grocery store too. I hope everyone is having a great day!!

Thanks Crown! 25% milestone already coming (WOW)!

Well as soon as I talked they were like "Why are you here?" lol...but I have a lot of work to do and if I'm not here they will have to do it. I've worked a little OT this week so I'm just going to cut out a little early and rest (if Rollins lets me).

 

[Edge612]

Oh she won't care if I leave. Nice thing about her is I've never once had a problem in 5 years working here when I had to leave early for a reason or when I put in for a vacation day either. She always says no problem.

Speaking of...do you still see any lights left Merry? I see a few still and I'm hanging on to those few as long as they allow me to.
