After many, many years of low self-esteem, I finally like my face. I'm not about to stick needles in it.

Susan in TN Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 Good morning! It's Monday, The Queen's favorite day! And New Year's Eve! I went to check on dd16 and her temp hasn't spiked back up - it's been 7 hours since her last Tylenol, so maybe the fever has run it's course. Dh has to drive dd20 back to school today. She was hired as an RA for the January term and is taking Gross Anatomy. The rest of us will maybe get some things done around the house and get New Year's Eve food ready. Ds14 is making a cheese & cracker tray with cheese he got for Chrstmas and someone needs to make sausage balls. I might make some Super Duper Chocolate Sauce for ice cream. Coffee! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Critterfixer Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 Good morning! I finished that first draft yesterday. Technically, I could take the day off and do nothing but read. However, I want to get moving on my revision questions, and I don't want to leave all that work for tomorrow. So I'll do as much of that as I can this morning, then do a little housekeeping, and then some reading. I ought to cook some things, too. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junie Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 Good Morning! Happy last Monday of 2018! I'm evaluating my goals list from this year and working on my goals lists for next year.

Slache Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 I miss my motorcycle. It was the closest thing to a car I'll ever have. I got to work on my own and went to the store. We don't want the kids to want motorcycles so I'm never getting one again. It makes me sad. I feel a little silly about that but I've been thinking about it a lot lately. We're moving somewhere warm with less rain, the kids are getting older and Matt's going to be home more. It's perfect timing for me to get another bike, but we're not going to. And I hate bicycles so no. This has been a frivolous post. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrissiK Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 Good Morning!!! COFFEE!!!!~D I Slept like a log last night. It felt so good. This morning I have to drive to the Big City. I’m stopping at Lowe’s first to get the carpet stuff squared away and then to my gyn for the results of the ultrasound. I’m not expecting anything important. The ultrasound was 2 weeks ago and I figured if they found something horrible they would have called me earlier. I suspect, having AF 17 months after my last one was, as my OB/GYN sister-in-law put it, “just a last hurrah”, though she was glad they did an unltrasound and I told her who I was seeing and she said the gal was a good NP. So, that is good. We are moving again, today. DH wants this to be our last day. We have so much carp, so if this is our last day, then we get the important stuff out and then toss or donate the rest. 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slache Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 Honestly, now that I think about it, I think I already knew... Funny story. My mom is allergic to blueberries but she doesn't like them so she never eats them. Several years ago I ordered her some special Cincinnati only ice cream because I thought she would really enjoy it. I got her her favorite flavor, the flavor that Oprah recommends and blueberry pie. I knew that she didn't like blueberries but it was so good I thought she might like it. She loved it! But then she almost died. She had to go to the ER and everything. We had both completely forgotten her allergy. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean in Newcastle Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 I like kiwi. The fruit. Not the bird. Though I do like the bird - just not to eat. Not that I've tried eating one or even been offered one. Again- the bird. The fruit I have eaten and like it. It's probably better not to type stream of consciousness.

Wheres Toto Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 So, it appears I may be right about ds's anxiety being worse because of the holidays. He hasn't come to us with any of his usual hypochondria concerns in almost a week. Only changes we made are turning off his light at night and taking vitamins. He's been doing both of those for about two weeks. Still going to continue with those and the other ideas (like exercise, eating better, yoga/Tai Chi/meditation) because they are just healthy things to do. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean in Newcastle Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 The kids and I are going to go visit my first boss - who hired me during college- at her retirement home on Friday. She and I were good friends and even traveled up to Canada for a week once. She’s been asking us to visit for the last two years and I am a bit embarrassed to say that it has taken so long to set this up. Part of the problem is that she kept wanting us to come for a meal but I have explained that celiac makes that really difficult. So we’ll see her in the morning. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
