I'm wide awake (and listening to Marilyn sleeping beside me). We're both in our family room. I'm in my overstuffed chair, which has two ottomans directly in front of it. The chair and the ottomans are covered with lovely soft and warm blankets (new this winter), and Marilyn has a new pretty and soft blanket on her sofa -- her very favorite place to ( Read more... )

I mentioned that my nurse practitioner (Leslie) phoned yesterday while Marilyn and I were 'out and about' during Sue's hair appointment. She insisted on going through ALL the damn lab numbers. Marilyn said after that we had made an appointment ESPECIALLY to discuss my current situation, and we didn't want to get into the rest of it ( Read more... )

I'm better tonight, thank God. The pain earlier today was awful. At one point I was going to lie down, it was so bad. But then Donn pgoned about the Profile he was doing for me, and he was having issues, so I moved to the computer and never looked back ( Read more... )

So part of whatever-the-hell-is-going-on-with-me-now is that I have stomach pain and back pain. I THINK the stomach pain comes first and radiates into my back. But frankly, I'm not that sure. It's very low in my body, anyway. But this evening and night the stomach pain is MURDER. (ugh ( Read more... )

Cousin Linda is 62 today! Marilyn and I hope to get together with her and at least have coffee to celebrate... Time flies! Seriously, it's easy to remember when we were all teens. Hahaha ( Read more... )

Still dealing with PAIN from my flare-up. Hips hurt so bad. And my toes have been bad, too. Plus I'm still having leg cramps. Yuck. And my blood sugar was out of whack this morning (too high), which happens when you have a lot of pain. Oh well ( Read more... )

I was going in today to train Kelly. But in all honesty, Marilyn and I both felt she was going to end up quitting -- she did that today. Everyone liked her and wishes her well. But this was clearly not the job for her ( Read more... )

I woke up VERY EARLY this morning with the worst LEG CRAMPS I might have ever experienced (!!!) -- and no idea WHY I was having them ( Read more... )

I was UTTERLY SHOCKED to discover that my blog entry for last night didn't post! But further investigation proved that it DID post -- but dated October 1, NOT October 31. Hahaha. That's what happens when you're constantly posting a day late (into the early morning hours of the following day). Seeing as we had a MONTH change, I messed it up somehow ( Read more... )

After going out to eat when the board meeting ended, we came home and did our usual routine (which now includes game-related stuff starting at midnight). Then we headed right to bed, as we were both dead tired. (Well, obviously I stopped to blog, but you get my point ( Read more... )
