CONNIE that's why we get sick around Christmas... trying to do it all. Clean clean clean. Host Host Host. Party party party. CLean clean clean AGAIN. Shop shop shop. AND YOU WORK!!
hahaha CONNIE i read your next post but my brain said it was written by LOUISE and I thought OMG her mom is still alive???
BUNCO was fun. This really good cook brought the BEST looking fudge that she made. All sorts of varieties. Peanut, peanut butter, dark chocolate, rocky road, milk chocolate, with nuts, without nuts. SHEEESH But I was a good girl. Cookies? You can keep 'em. Fudge? GIMME GIMMMEEEE.
I'm going to get ready for bed. But I WILL have a snack (maybe a cheese sandwich or PBJ... half a one). I don't want a repeat of my empty stomach last night.
Ciao kids.

Dang it, 3am and I was wide awake. Got up once at 2am with nose completely stuffed up. Didn't want to take decongestant because I don't want artificially high blood pressure for my life insurance physical. Used some Afrin and tried to go back to bed, but no dice. Finally decided to jump in the tub and wash my hair. Also threw in some laundry. Now I'm watching food network and trying not to eat my whole refrigerator. Sleep deprivation messes with my appetite! DH will be up for work in about an hour. If I'm able to nap before the mall, I will push the trip to the DMV to tomorrow.

Rough night last night - I finally was able to sleep around 2 due to foot pain. My doctor was very pleased at the progress of healing and I got another small graft, so that's good. He also said to plan on going north if I want. I'm on crutches and the boot, and yesterday was not good.
Anyway - have a good day all. I'll be back in a bit.

CONNIE I agree about sleep deprivation and hunger. Also sleep deprivation and memory and frame of mind and energy and other stuff.
LOUISE mine is kind of basic. Meat, S&P, sliced onions, carrots and taters. Sometimes I also put an 8 oz can of tomato sauce on top, and then thicken the sauce after the whole thing cooks. Other times I take 1 package of au jus "gravy" mix and a packet of hidden valley and add some water so I have about 1 cup liquid and use that. Sometimes I sear it first but usually I don't.
SUZE sorry that you were having pain. Once you get a normal walking pattern for a while, that part will go away. Hard to do on scooters and crutches and boots.
SANDY AMEN On busy time of year to have a bum knee! You guys must have been JITTER BUGGING! LOL (OK even I'm not old enough to have jitterbugged).
I sure would love some CHILI (or pot roast) with LOTS OF ONIONS.
So I spent the night worrying and angry about Medicare for when I had bronchitis in freaking JANUARY. I can't tell you how many times I've been billed for this same ER visit and I have to call Tx Health, then call Medicare, then call TX Health each time and finally I'm told "We'll re-bill. Disregard the bill." which was what Angela told me today after being on hold for 30 minutes+! For probably the 5th time at LEAST. I. HATE. MEDICARE.
Anyone watch Meghan Kelly on Today show on NBC? She's even more annoying than she was when she was on Fox. SEE? I didn't sleep and my mood is CRAP.
But having some protein and toast last night seemed to help my GERD. I would wake up thinking "Am I having reflux? NO?" and try to go back to sleep. Also we had a thunder storm. Thunder + GERD + Medicare = crap sleep = crap mood.

Sounds like some of us are a little off today.
SANDY take care of that knee.
Here's my deal..I know, broken record on this. So the site of the graft had to be (for lack of a better word) scraped a bit and bleeding before the graft went on. Then the glue, then a bunch of steri strips. So that's aggravated and sore, and pulling at the skin. Tight gauze wrap (not the normal Kerlix, which gives) to keep everything in place with tight ace bandage over that. Then the boot, then there is the plantar fasciitis, which hurts like hell (in fact I don't know WHERE that came from) but I just need to walk through that as much as possible right now. My foot was screaming at me when I went to bed. I ended up taking the ace off around 2am and sleeping just in the gauze. It was just all too tight! Especially at the instep, my gosh.
Better this morning, and I'm sure it will be even better tomorrow. Will I be ready for a flight to MI next week? That, I don't know.

For the love of St. Servatius (patron saint of podiatrists and lame people.. lame as in limping... not as in UNCOOL b/c though you're limping, YOU are definitely the coolest). Here's what to do re: the flight up. Play it by ear. THEN if you think you CAN go, if there are last minute reasonable flights... it's St. Servatius saying you should go. IF at the last minute, the flights are $$$$$$$$ then... listen to St. Servatius.
I hope this is just my regular winter allergy stuff b/c I'm got major post nasal drip, a dripping nose and a loose cough (coughing up clear though). I don't want to get Roland sick. I may start adding my nebulizer treatments starting tonight thru Friday AM. Of course the albuterol makes me a nervous trembling wreck. I might just as well take prednisone! At this point I'm about ready to throw in the towel on this trip to STL. The weather is sucky, the TSA lines at DFW just initiated new requirements for going thru lines and it's supposed to be making the security lines a HUGE MESS (who does this right before Christmas? Oh yeah.... Texas... other states are waiting until January). Last time w/ TSA Pre-check the Pre-check line was easily triple the regular line. So much for that.

CELESTE I thought this WAS last minute... you are talking LAST minute. Not a bad plan. I didn't know about the new TSA requirements.. maybe I should watch the news once in a while. Feel better - no, you don't want to get Roland sick, or be feeling carpy. I hope this is just allergies and not anything more.

Celeste I hope you had a good night after the fudge.
Connie I don't watch Food Network.Too much temptation.I hope you were able to get some rest.
Suze I'm sorry you had a rough night.I hope your pain gets less soon.
Sandy it is a bad time of year(as there is a good time of year)to have a bum knee.Feel better.
Celeste I don't like Meghan Kelly at all.We heard thunder during the night too.I'm glad your GERD was better last night.I hope you are having allergies.I do hope you feel better soon.
This does seem to be a day for feeling off.I'm having tummy problems today.For awhile I couldn't eat blackberries b/c of IBS and lately I've been able to eat them.I had some this morning and had to throw the rest away.I guess that's one fruit I can never add back from the FODMAP list.

Hi ....remember me? Iβm Angie & live north of yβall ...π
Great weekend of fun & family. The retirement celebrations were very nice & sure a mix of emotions. Wonderful turn out for the public reception...I would guess 250+....so we came home with lots of food to supplement what I had planned. Sent care packages with the kids when they left....and we should finish the rest soon.
The Revolving Door B&B has been freshened up ...linens washed & beds remade, guest baths cleaned. Will scrub after Baker Elf gets done with his creations, and run the vacuum on Friday morning.....before we get invaded again the afternoon & evening π. Itβs all good.
Louise...iβm Not done shopping...need to regroup, check my lists & get it knocked out by tomorrow at the latest.
Celeste...you are still dealing with Medicare from almost a year ago?!?! Egads! Beyond irritating! Sounds like the GI issues are a bit better?
Suze....this has been an ordeal for you. Sorry to hear you had so much pain last night ....wears a person down for sure. Hope today is better.
Sandy....yeah on a b-ball win! We went to see our great nephews game last night ....they managed a win also....but very poor officiating...& if I can tell that, it was awful. Kids pulled through & got the job done.
Connie...lots of running for you this week....have fun with all those get togethers!
Waves to Becky & Steph....last day of school?
Better get my nose back to the grind stone here.
