Happy Halloween ladies!

Oneofalot,

Hope you enjoy your extra long weekend!!!

JayDee,

So much in one year for your girl!!!  Oh I understand those tears!!  I still get like that once in awhile, mostly thinking of the times when we could all get together.  Maybe one of these days son Chris will be able to meet his brother-in-law!!!  Those two have never been face to face yet!!!!!

Oleander,

Hope you get some nice rain without the strong winds.  Save the Pirate Ship!!!!

No news on the knee.  I went to the hospital Sunday afternoon and spent 7 hours there.  Got a consult for orthopedics but, of course, haven't heard from them at all.  I did get an appointment for next Friday with a new primary care so if nothing else I'll beg for an ortho consult from them!!!  And maybe ask for a rush!!!!!!  Will keep everyone posted!

Comment by Oleander on October 28, 2016 at 10:30am

Anna, we're expecting some of your rain today, love it! But...the dreaded wind arrives on Sunday : (  Hopefully the pirate ship masts don't fly off the roof! Any news on your knee?

Comment by Oleander on October 28, 2016 at 10:15am

Morning! Happy Friday everyone

Blondie, you're incredible. You're like a good fairy tornado! My goodness woman, you accomplish more in a day than most people do in a week! Fingers crossed for a good interview and a company that respects and appreciates you.

JayDee, you made me all teary! It's so easy to go immediately back to that emotion, isn't it? Wow what a difference a year makes. Sounds like my husband has what you have. Hopefully the meds will push you through to the other side of this thing and you'll be 100% again in no time.

Oneofalot I hope you're able to enjoy your weekends!

Finishing up "Pirate Cove" this weekend, making vats of chicken tortilla soup for our Halloween party. We're dressing up steam punk this year lol

Comment by Oneofalot on October 28, 2016 at 10:10am
Good morning to Everyone. I'm taking a mini vacation. Needed to get out of there. I'm off today until Monday. Good luck Blondie. Hope you find a place that appreciates you better. I'm off to my knee doctors appointment. Hope everyone has a fantastic day.

I just realized that a year ago today I got the "I'm a sailor" call from my daughter!  I had the same stupid upper respiratory and could barely talk when she called, but I so proud of her!!!  Her PIR was 10/30.  SO much has changed in that year.  She's now married and in Prototype.  One thing hasn't changed, I'm still sitting here crying thinking about it all.

Comment by JayDee659 on October 28, 2016 at 8:57am

Blondie, sorry that your vacation time is coming to an end, but it sounds like you got lots done to help your daughter out!

Hooray for a job interview.  Hopefully you'll find someplace that appreciates all your hard work!  Can't believe your current employer doesn't see what you do for them!

I'm recovering.  The prednisone keeps me up at night and makes my face flush.  But I can breathe and talk, my husband might not see the talking as positive....

Comment by Anna on October 28, 2016 at 12:02am

JayDee,

So sorry you are under the weather!!!  That is never good!!

Oleander,

Hope you get to hear from your sailor soon!!!  And so happy you will soon have your oldest girl home for Halloween.  Hoping we get to see some pictures.  Will any of this rain heading across CA coming your way??

Oneofalot,

Hanging in there - how about you??  Daughter and baby doing well???

Comment by Oleander on October 27, 2016 at 10:45am

Oh no! I hope you fee better soon JayDee!

Comment by JayDee659 on October 27, 2016 at 10:33am

Good morning ladies, hope everyone is well.  

Oleander - I'm sure you'll be glad to see your oldest tomorrow and hear from your sailor!

I've been fighting a viral infection of the upper respiratory.  Doctor put me on some prednisone yesterday and some little cough pearls.  They seem to be helping.  I hate feeling crappy!
