    Good morning everyone. The skies are clear today but it's still in the lower 30's. My arthritis doesn't like that. For some odd reason when I first get up in the morning now the heals of my feet are so sore. I wonder if that's arthritis too?

    I don't have any plans for today. Just play on FB and perhaps do something different and make my bed for a change?

    I took all the paperwork and dropped it off at the place I'm hoping to get a job at. They never tell you much other than let's get fingerprinted and run a back round check. Then fill out this mass of paper work....then another mass of paperwork. I did find out they called my husbands physician. I used him as a personal reference. He said he gave me a glowing recommendation, so maybe that will help. Gotta find work soon, but with the economy the way it is now I worry.

    Randy the kitty is mad at me because when I came back from the bathroom last night he was on my pillow so I moved him. NOT a good thing. He gave me a few kitten cusses and slept underneath the bed. LOL But it seems I might be half way forgiven this morning.

    Insurance company is driving me crazy not paying for the chemo Don had. It's about a $60,000 balance due and they are threatening collection on me. I called the insurance company and they said due to the "hippa" (?) laws they can't tell me anything. So, trying to figure out what to do next. Sometimes I hate stupid people ya know?

    Well, I'm off to at least make my bed for the day......cya all later. And welcome home Lilly :) I missed you!

    I'm so excited that I got here first this morning! Everyone must be sleeping in late today.

    Well, It's still rain/snow here now for several days in a row and I'm keeping a close eye on the pool for over flow :( My son and I tried to suction some out with a piece of water hose yesterday but don't think it's working so off to the hardware store we shall go today for a pump. Didn't want to get one cuz they are so pricey. ;(

    Kitty Randy has turned into a teenager now and showing a bit of independence. It's hard when I want to cuddle and he wants no part of it. My house looks like I have a ton of kids with toys spread out in every room. LOL

    Not doing too much today other than the pool. Think I'll try to stay warm and dry is all. I'll most likely be soaked after the pool thing.

    Have a good day everyone!

    I Miss You

    Posted

    I glance to my left and then to my right, but no one is there.

    As I arch my back against time, I sense that I am alone.

    You vanished from my life and my sight, but I can still feel you around me.

    Can you hear me? Do you know what I am thinking? Will I ever see you again?

    There are no answers given to these questions, only more questions to ask, It's as if someone has played a cruel joke on me.

    Not having you here, by my side, on the other end of the phone, I am left without you.

    Without the one person I would die for, breathe for, live for and everything in between.

    It's simply unfair,

    So very unfair that I have to continue in this world without you, that the trees still grow leaves, the flowers still bloom, that life continues.

    There is nothing else for me to do, but continue to move, continue to live, continue…….

    I felt you last night, in my dreams, in my arms, in my mind.

    You were glowing, with a smile on your face and anticipation in your eyes.

    You said Yes to me, when I asked you to stay and we both knew that it was all there was, All there was at that moment was You, and I.

    I could've let go of life and continue with you, along your path, down your road, but I didn't, it didn't happen and I am still here, waiting, wondering, grieving…..

    I don't know what else to do, What else is there for me to do?

    Cry myself to sleep at night?

    It is easy to do, easy to miss you.

    I do, I do miss you, and everything in between. Everything, and yet I'd do it all over again, and again.

    Calmness in our lives

    This is profound stuff...I have a lot of stuff to complete/finish...can't wait!!!

    Subject: CALMNESS IN OUR LIVES

    I am passing this on to you because it definitely works and we could all use a little more calmness in our lives. By following simple advice heard on the Oprah show, you too can find inner peace.Dr. Oz proclaimed, 'The way to achieve inner peace is to finish all the things you have started and have never finished.'So, I looked around my house to see all the things I started and hadn't finished, and before leaving the house this morning, I finished off a bottle of White Zinfandel, a bottle of Tequila, a package of Oreos, the remainder of my old Prozac prescription, the rest of the cheesecake, some Doritos, and a box of chocolates. You have no idea how freaking good I feel right now.

    Bless both of you! You will be in my thoughts and prayers. As far as hospice, they were a blessing for me when my husband came home from his final visit to the hospital. I was able to sleep in the next room but still keep the baby monitor just in case. They took excellent care of my husband PLUS they took care of me as well.

    I think the only mistake I made was waiting TOO LONG before calling hospice into the home. I should have done it sooner I believe now that I know what excellent care they gave us.

    God Bless you both!

    It's our 3rd straight day of heavy rain and winds here. Desktop says is 33 degrees right now. It's been so long since we had rain I'm sure we needed it, but this is A LOT of rain and I hear we have a couple more storms on the way. Gloomy weather like this is depressing isn't it?

    I haven't been posting much here these past few weeks. I'm clearing addicted to FB and jumping WAY ahead of Randy.

    Speaking of Randy...now I'll switch to Randy the cat. He's still sleeping with me each night. Getting much better with his "gas issues" ughhhh and doesn't pounce on my head in the middle of the night anymore. Just too bad his little body doesn't generate a bit more heat. Perhaps as he gets older? I'll probably be taking him to the vet next week for his shots and neutered. Poor thing ;(

    Well, have a good day all!

    Hello everyone! I'm beginning to feel much better now that I flushed all those crazy meds down the toilet. They were actually having a "reverse effect" on my panic attacks.........ughhhhh I have some friends coming over for dinner tomorrow and to visit baby Randy (the monster) so I'll be taking some time today and doing a bit of cleaning. I hate a dirty house....especially when you have visitors.

    Weather here is beautiful...I can't believe it. Low 70's expected for this afternoon. If I didn't have so much to do inside I would grab the chance for some gardening, but I don't wanna push it. Maybe this week end. No question the weeds will wait for me right?

    PS And for all of you who warned me about too much medications....thank you. Without your advice I'd most likely be locked up somewhere now. I'm a strong woman who has endured many hard times in my life and somehow in time I'll get thru this too. Much love to all of you!

    It's just like the old saying "There's no place like home". I'm sure you'll both be relieved when he finally gets there. I too was so happy when I was able to bring my husband home so that I knew he was going to get the best care possible and he would feel so much better being surrounded by his own things.

    This is going to get a tough job now, but then, I'm sure you know that already. My thoughts and prayers are with you both.

    Post when you can dear one

    Good morning all! It's a cool 40 degrees here so I'm all bundled up this morning with a nice hot cup of coffee.

    Night before last I spent the night at some friends playing poker. I won $50 by the way, but it was such a late night. They brought be home around noon I guess and I was in bed by 2pm. I actually slept straight thru until 6am this morning. Guess my body was just plain worn out.

    I didn't notice when I logged into FB that bad boy Randy got a big jump on my cafe rating.. Don't know how I can catch up. I keep asking myself, how can a man who works two jobs still get a jump on me? Bad Boy Randy!

    Anyway, I've stopped taking most of of my meds. I think they were giving me to many. I had a long talk with myself about how many battles I've fought in my life med free and still managed. So, I'm going to work on that again. Only xanax I stay on....they help me sleep.....OBVIOUSLY! LOL

    Frank,

    My heart and prayers go out to both you and your wife. Dealing with the monster disease is really difficult I know because my husband also had lung cancer. It takes it's toll emotionally because it seems one day there is good news and the next day it bad. Just gather up you strength and the love you have for your wife and keep on fighting. Many here have won this battle or continue after years so I wish you luck and please tell your wife the my prayers will continue.

    Wanna hear something funny? When Don passed in Oct I canceled both of our cell phones. I get a call this morning from Verizon wireless telling me I have $182 balance from November, Well, I ask her which phone and she said it was my husbands. She said thee were calls to Ohio Kentucky, Virginia, Texas and Iowa, Well, I told her that I destroyoed the phone with hammer before I discarded it and canceled it so unless he's calling s girlfriend from heaven so unless they have a collection agency in heaven, they'll l to collect from him.....that was the end of that huh?LOL

    Ps No smart remarks from Pat please...I've enough enough

    "recce101"]Yes, I'm expecting you. But you might want to tow a couple of port-a-potties behind the bus. And bring a hotplate or two. There are plenty of electrical outlets in the garage since I used it as a printing shop at one time, and like I said, there's already a fridge and computer there, plus a big a/c. But if you prefer the beach you can merge in with the homeless population, most of whom are fairly mellow.

    Ned

    :-o Ned.................you won;t let me go to the homeless place will ya....That's fine for Ann, Judy and Randy......but poor me? I'll be happy on the couch! PLUS I'll cook breakfast for everyone....how's that sound?
