Morning ladies, I agree with Janet, I love the virgin comment.

Came home last night and worked on my drip system. Hope to get it going soon, managed to set up one flower bed. After that, tried to eat some dinner, but I was having amajor anxiety attack, so dinner didn't go down well. I am just feeling overwhelmed. I wish the world would stop for a couple days and I could get off. So bailed on dinner, had some kashi and yogurt later, read, did laundry, fixed the door that was trying to fall off and went to bed. I'm just tired, Over 6 weeks working 7 days a week always takes it tole about this time of year. I'll take a day off from the nursery when DD#2 comes up so we can lay tile.

Well, short night and long day ahead, so I best get at it, TTFN

Good morning,

I am at the hospital. I don't check in until 8:30 but Lee had to drop me off before heading to work. He isn't going to come back tonight because gas is killing us! That's fine though because if I had gone to Mexico he wasn't going to come.

I have a paper to write this morning before I head into surgery so I had best get busy. I probably won't be posting here for a little bit because I'm sure I will be too tired to post in both spots.

Good Morning Peeps

Karri - Hugs Hugs & prayers for safe surgery and speedy recovery !!! I will ck fb to see what Lee post.. I know that you must be so happy to have all this behind you - don't know how you are writing a paper - nerves get to me before surgery... Don't think I could consintrate..

Karla - Hugs to gf - yep you need a week of no computer - no work - just doing stuff you want to do..

food yesterday - pt shake for bf w/fake peanutbutter & banana - lunch salad w/turkey - dinner - taco meat Beans avocado and then some yogurt (greek lemon w/whipped cream cheese) gym 1 hrs of arms

Still no answers on blood work - will call today

Linda - sure hope you are feeling better - vicoden is ugly - good thing it doesn't agree w/me (makes me sick to my stomach when I take a 2nd one)

Phyl - were in the heck are you

Hi everyone, stopped for the night , just south of Memphis, Tn. We will explore there tomorrow, perhaps for a couple of days. THe flooding around here, and to the west to the Mississippi River is just terrible.. These poor folks, they don't need more trouble.

This town we passed thru TUNICA, MS, is a gambling Haven, just 45 mins south of Memphis... 4 or 5 very large Vegas Style casinos... alll under Water today... they are CLOSED for 4 weeks until the river crests... terrible for their economy down here...

Found a NICE r.v. spot today... (phew, thanks passport America!) WE have laundry (done) excellent WiFi (thanks!) and clean, clean, clean restrooms and Showers (yeah!)

We might stay 2 nights here... before progressing north again. I want to stop at Shipshiwana in Indiana (I think) and do some serious shopping while there...

Linda: we are having BBQ'd Brats tonight on the barby... YUM... I can hardly wait.... onto my 2nd glass of wine...

Made SURE I bought my WINE before we hit Kentucky, don't want THAT experiance again!!! :rolleyes:

Linda, I avoid vicodane as well, not because it makes me ill like Janet, but because I REALLY like it. I can tell I would become addicted in a heart beat.

Stressful day at work today, community is voting whether to pass the levy or not. If it doesn't pass many personel will lose jobs and I can kiss any classroom monies goodbye. It is also teacher appreceation (sp) week and in the middles school we are sitting here without any recognitions. High School gets a luncheon, brunch, and treats in their boxes everyday. Elementary get something everyday, from a gift bag to a tree. So I guess we don't exist. Not that I really want the stuff, but I would like the acknowledgement that we exist. All so got an email from the person in charge of a Water education program that I have been accepted into for the summer of 2012, I get material, credits, and $200 a day for a week. Well, evidently my superintendent has not approved my being allowed to participate. He has only had a month to decide. I finally stopped him and told him that the program needed a yes or a no, but they have to have an answer. His response..."Well how many days are you going to miss from school," (the program pays the district for any subs that are needed). Are you kidding me, you had a month to ask me that question, or even better, read the darn information they sent you.

Okay enough bitching.

Came home and vacumned my car out. I had hauled a big pot of dirt home from work this weekend and evidently when I had the window open a whirlwind occured and spread the dirt everywhere.

Talked with DD#1 in New York, and she was telling me about the 2 tornadoes they had. Scarey.

Has anyone heard from Phyl? Candice safe travels. Eat a catfish for me. I am going to try to find some next time I am in town.

I'm getting really fed up with this new laptop. Seem to be forever accidentally hitting keys that do weird things! Just lost my post AGAIN!! Frustrating and annoying. It happens almost every day and usually when I'm almost finished typing a long post! Then I get mad and don't feel like typing it all over again!

I think my external keyboard is still in the RV. May have Earl get it for me. Can plug it in to a USB port and use that instead.

Still trying to get unpacked. Yesterday I saw my primary care doctor. She gave me Rx for NSAIDS that she says is easier on the stomach..... Meloxicam. She said its been around for a while but I never heard of it. She said I can go back to my therapy place and she'll sign whatever they order! Glad for that because they'll supervise me exercising in the pool for an hour a couple of times a week.

Today we both had dental appointments, too. Next week I see the ortho doc.

So that about sums up where I've been and what I've been up to!! Still have to get dog and cat to the vet, too.

Linda, glad you're able to get out and walk.

Wonder how Karri is doing tonight. She posted photo of I.V. on FB! Saw that a little bit ago.

Janet....... DOCTOR??????

Karla..... really frustrating to hear about some of the things the school pays for and others that it denies!! Doesn't make any sense.

Candice..... enjoying the photos, etc. of your road trip! Looks like fun! Especially the time in New Orleans with Denise. We're all jealous!!

Denise..... my Zoey puts everything in her mouth, too. She especially likes to eat paper and kleenex! Day we got home we had dinner at youngest daughter's. She's not a great housekeeper and has 3 kids under 10 yrs old so we have to watch her closely when we're there. Forgot for a few minutes and found her lounging by the kids' bedroom doors chewing up a purple crayon!!

Janet, I'm with Candice, what went on with the doc? Or is it that after a week he STILL hasn't returned you call with your lab results. Remember, you are paying him, and it isn't worth your time or money if he isn't meeting your needs.

Phyl, thanks for the info on the NSAID, my arthritus is horrid lately. Wake up every night with shoulder/back pain. My hands don't want to work. So next time I go to the doc I'm going to check it out.

Quiet night last night. I read for most of the evening. There is definitely something said for curling up with a good book and a cup of tea.

Candice, look at all that room!! I love your camper!! You must really be enjoying the space. Does it have bathroom facilities?

You all have a great day!!

Good Evening Gang

Well you all know my blood test came back EXCELLENt - cholestoral very good - vitimans just fine - nothing wrong with my blood - just old age I guess

Phyl - I would suggest taking nasid on empty stomach - then eat so that it doesn't sit in your pouch - I take advil occassionally - but I will only take it on empty stomach - I don't have stomach issues never have - but I think I test my band enough am afraid to push the limits too far.

Hi Everyone,

Janet- glad your test came out OK.

Puppy still putting everything in his mouth. He pooped a wad of chewed up towel. I hope it all came out OK. I may have to make him stay in his kennel with no towel when I put him in there. What else can I put that he won't chew up? He's loco! ( It's Cinco de mayo)

Saw Karri's post on FB, sounds like she's doing well.

Candice- are you seeing any flooding? Record highs on the Mississippi, we have to open our spillway to avoid flooding. Predicting crest at 19 with spillway open. Our levees are built to protect to 20 feet.

Going to Jazz Fest tomorrow to see Willie Nelson. I was gonna take a 1/2 day, but my boss asked me to go on a field trip to the fest with some students. So I'll go with them, and just stay there when they leave.

A lot of schools are taking kids tomorrow. I hope they don't tick me off. Kids everywhere, yuck!

I'll just hide under a tree till they leave. Willie comes on after 5. That dude that sings that country song, You shoulda seen it in color, comes on before Willie. I wanna see him too. I thought Montgomery Gentry sang that. But it's Jamey Johnson. I checked out some of his songs, he's good!

I typed a message last night, but I couldn't finish cause bookit.com called me. I was waiting for a call, cause they screwed up my booking. They also charged me 417.00 for a booking modication. I said, "Ahhh What?????"nnI didn't modify my booking, you made my booking." I did it over the phone. WTH

They said they will have to investigate that. So we'll see if they fixed it, or they can investigate me telling credit card company to deny payment.

I was on the phone Sat. for 1 hour making the reservation. Last night, over 1 hour, trying to fix it.

So I gotta go call them again, and see if they fixed it. Talk about a damn hot mess! Dis is Loco!

      April Surgery

My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
