Christmas Countdown - 2018

[Holiday]

I woke up this morning, got up and I felt like I was hung-over from the night before. Which, is impossible, since I don’t drink alcohol. I had a headache, felt like I didn’t get any real deep sleep and didn’t feel like myself overall. I pushed thru it, went to work, thinking like everything else, this too will pass.

But, by the time I got to the office (a little over an hour), I was feeling worse. It got to the point to where, I just couldn’t think and function like anywhere near where I normally would, so I left and went home.

On my way home, it dawned on me that last night, we had Chinese food for dinner. The last couple of times I had it before, a different places, all gave me a terrible headache and I didn’t feel right for days.

I did some research on this and I’m wondering now, if the MSG’s in the food is causing me to feel this way.

Has anyone else had any problems with MSG’s?

I read these things online about that there used to be a saying called “Chinese Food Syndrome”, I’m not joking either, it’s true, and it’s based on the MSG’s in the food.

I hope you are feeling better today!! xx I don't do Chinese food - blah! So I'm no help!!

Good Tuesday morning! After 3 glorious Summer-like days, rain is in the forecast today. I'm working the afternoon/evening shift so I'll be getting some laundry and chores done this morning. I'll also order a cake for one of our coordinators transferring to another store. Her last day is Friday and we want to celebrate her 11 years with us. And as I feared, my boss told me that he is now on sick leave. Our District manager will tell the other managers today. If you can spare a thought for him, it would be greatly appreciated. He will need all the strength he can get to find his way back.

Hope everyone will enjoy a great day!

Sending up prayers <3

********** MILESTONE DAY **********


Good Morning, Half-Way Friends.
No, I don't mean it that way.
Rather the reference is to being HALF WAY TO CHRISTMAS SEASON 2018!!
Wow, Guys!

Days to the Season: 182
Days to Christmas Day: 224

Doesn't it seem like we got to the half way point so soon this year?
Time is just racing by. And as an older MMC'er, I can tell you the passing of a year always seems to accelerate as you age. Of course, the older you get, the smaller a percentage of your life a year is. A year to a 5-year-old represents 20 percent of his entire life, while to a 50-year-old, it is only 2 percent.

We hit 93 degrees again here yesterday, and the humidity just keeps rising.
Won't be long before we are in true summer conditions, if we aren't there already.
Today is supposed to be a bit cooler and it could come with some precipitation.
Our current temperature reading is 73 degrees here in the capital city.

Have a Terrific Tuesday, Everyone!

Thank you so much Crown, so exciting!!!

Thank you Holiday and will do!
I hope everything works out with the new Amish lady!

Thanks! She was very nice!! She only wants to do every other week, but she will do 1 weekend per month which is awesome!

Good evening, everyone!

Just checking in to say that I miss you all. Christmas (and you guys) are always in my heart. I am super busy driving about an hour and 10 minutes each way to teach and then planning, coaching, etc. on top of that. It's been crazy!

Can't wait for this school year to be over in about five weeks and then onward to summer school!

Nice to see you Brent!! Hope we get to see more of you when school is out! Have a good day!

Happy Milestone Day MMC!
It’s going to be cloudy today with late day showers/thunderstorms. Not too much going on here. I’m going to make a Target run in a little bit. Back home afterward to work on the laundry. Just a typical day. My middle one is off today so she will keep me company. We’re going to bake a cheesecake later. Dinner will be tacos. That’s about it for me. I hope everyone has a great day!
xx

Morning MMC! I look forward to Crown's post today more than usual. It was an interesting Monday and hopefully it will be a decent Tuesday. Woke up a little tired this morning but shook it off pretty quickly. I hope this summer doesn't turn out to have rainy weekends. It looks like we might have our 2nd in a row coming up. Hope that forecast changes. Have a great day!

I hope your forecast changes for the weekend too. We have a chance of rain Saturday. Merry Milestone Day!

Good Tuesday morning, Christmas friends!

I was pretty busy yesterday, and didn't get a chance to post. It's been a super busy week again.

Saturday, Elizabeth auditioned for the part of Ariel in the Arts Center's production of The Little Mermaid. With her long, red hair and beautiful voice (I know she's mine, but she's still really awesome ), along with her acting experience at school, we were convinced she would be a shoo-in. Then some of the other singing and dancing redheads who wanted the part started showing up at the audition, and Elizabeth grew more concerned.

They called last night to offer Elizabeth the part! Her answer? "Yes! Yes! A thousand times YES!" LOL She is so happy, and we're so proud of her.

Jacob is still true-loving with his new girlfriend, too, so right now our kids are happy. And that's all Nancy and I need to be happy, too.

I hope y'all have a great day!

 

[Bradmac]

Oh, and I've verified that there will be a LOT more to the costume than two seashells. Whew! I'd hate to have to fight that battle LOL.

I have heard of Chinese Food Syndrome. It's for real. (I haven't been personally affected that way, though.) I hope it gets out of your system quickly so you can feel all right again.

I have heard of it before and people having reactions to MSG. Hope you are feeling better.

I hope you are feeling better today!! xx I don't do Chinese food - blah! So I'm no help!!

Thank you much! I am overall, but I gotta to tell you, for this is so weird. I've never had a reaction to anything like this, ever. I've been battling the headache, 5 Advil, 2 ibuprofen and 1 Excedrin. I'm knocking it down. But get this, I awoke this morning to my face and lips; numb and tingling! Crazy!!!! I again checked into it (after giving myself a stroke test) and there it was, it was another symptom of having a reaction to MSG's! This is nuts.

I decided to stay home again, for I am just not feeling like myself still, my brain feels like I've been out in the barn smoking some of mother's natures herbs... I'm going to just relax and take it easy today.

Conclusion - no more Chinese food; ever and stay away from foods that have MSG's in it. I checked with my siblings, and my sister has the same issue, it gives her a terrible headache, so she stays away from it.

Oh gosh, I sure hope that there is! I would be right in your very same shoes, that just wouldn't fly if it was the case! Your such a good pa-pa, (that's because you care and love her)!
