    Actually, a job before the holidays would give me an excuse not to have to deal with things.  Sorry, can't, working. 

    I totally understand how you are happy living by yourself, Sheila.  When you get all the BS and none of the benefit of living with other people, you don't want to live with other people anymore. 

    Glad you are happy about things with DD's former boyfriend, Diane.

    Sandy - I hope you didn't work too hard today.

    I missed the thing about Linda's son's comment about FB...did I skip a page?  Hmmm.

    Out of breath and sweaty - I hear you, Sheila.  I just have no strength anymore.  I don't know what happened to me.  DD's friend's father asked me if I ran the Thanksgiving Day road race.  I said no :(   I can't run that far anymore.  It's 4.74 miles.  I haven't been able to run that far this year.  I might have run that far last year, but only a couple times.  I don't even remember the year before, but I think I could run that far - just didn't run it that often because of my plantar fasciitis.  And I actually ran the race the year before that - after chemo and with one more rads tx to go.  Didn't run it in good time, but ran it.  Since then, I have fallen apart.  I don't know if I'll ever be able to run it again. So sad.  Cry

    Sorry I was complaining when you popped in to say hello, Foots.  I'm always complaining...((((((Foots))))))

    (((((((TOL)))))))

    I wish I could use the ....sorry...working......but can't.  I put too much pressure on myself to get it all done.  I guess I'm anal....not nearly as  anal as DH, but mildly anal.

    My baby turns 14 tomorrow........

    I will have more time on my hands than usual.  I was let go on Friday.  Knew it was coming for months, and really releived.  I just need to keep my motivation going to get things done and search for a new job.

    It looks like I might get to go visit Patch during this holiday season.  With my old job, we were not allowed to take vacation time from October 1, through March 31st.  I had to really push the issue to get 2 days off before the wedding.  It would not have happened if my supervisor had not taken the day after Thanksgiving and several other days off in Nov.  

    This weekend was stormy, but didn't drop much rain.  We got out of church yesterday and it was sprinkling but was in the mid 70s!

    Meece - Sorry to hear about the job- glad to hear you can visit Patch.  I hope you find a better job after the holidays!  Also glad you didn't suffer any damage because of the bad weather out there.

    Linda - Happy Birthday to DS! 

    Sheila - glad your DD makes you feel better.

    I wish my DH were anal.  Then maybe I could get things done that I want done.  But he doesn't care about the things I care about.  I'm not sure what he cares about.  But he won't do the things I need him to do so I can do the things I want to do(like fix the drywall (or agree to hire someone to do it) so I can paint the walls).  So nothing gets done and my "home" is a dump.  :(

    I was going to report that DD made some progress in her room, but I just checked it and parts of the floor that had been clear yesterday now have crap back on them again...   Well, she needs to study for finals anyway - her room can wait 'til next week.  It would have been nice if she had a space to study in in her room.  I will have to recommend that she studies in the basement and tell DS to stay out of there.  He's grounded anyway.  He still hasn't done the assignment for the class that got him in trouble in the first place.  He just won't learn.

    We watched the recent Madea movie.  My kids said she reminded them of me.  At one point, she was going off on someone for being disrespectful.  I asked DD to rewind, so I could write down what Madea said for future use... lol

    My DH can be anal.  I have been asking him to light the pilot on our fireplace for over a week.  Since he is comfortable in shorts and a t-shirt most of the year, he has been in no hurry to light it.  So yesterday, I deceided a fire would be nice while the rain was coming down, and Iam someone who could wear a sweatshirt year round. (That's an exaggeration, but...)  So I made my first attempt to light the pilot.  It was stressing DH so much watching me do it worng/slow he could hardly stand it.  He wanted me to get out of the way so he could do it.  I wouldn't move.  Told him since I have to rely on myself, I might as well learn.  He was a bit sheepish for a couple hours after that.

    He hates having to watch me learn things, so much easier to do them himself.  This morning he felt compelled to help me check my email messages because I got a note that there was a new one and it really wasn't there. Undecided

    Meece....If the job was stressful.I would say everything happens for a reason.....

    Take time for yourself and when you are ready start looking.....Meanwhile being with patch during Holidays is priceless.....hugs

    Chris....The mess in their room is a chronic condition...it doesn't get any better in time...Talking from experience.....Once they move and figure out nobody will clean after them that's when things start changing......

    Good Morning

    I didn't take it as insensative at all.  DH came home on Friday and said all he saw was a much more relaxed wife.  Been getting ready to file for UI.  Geez!  I have to go through all of my checks stubs now.  That isn't gonna be any fun at all. If they deny me, the company may be a bit sorry because I will appeal and ask for a hearing.  Would never work for them again in any capacity.

    Your former employer was not reasonable.  I hope the UI people see that and give you the UI - no questions asked.   ((((((Meece))))))  I hope you can enjoy the holidays thoroughly and then find a wonderful job in the new year.

    Around 4pm, the top of my foot started to really hurt.  If I try to lift my toes up, it hurts.  To walk on it hurts.  I'm like - what the heck did I do to my foot for it to all of a sudden start hurting? Then I remembered - I dropped a piece of metal on it around 8 this morning.  So, I'm not surprised that it hurts.  But after the initial pain of dropping something on it wore off, it didn't hurt all day.  Why did it take 8 hours for it to start hurting? It was fine for so long, I had forgotten I had dropped something on it!   My body is so screwed up.

    Chris - I actually, while young and sleeping alone, woke up with similar pain in my foot.  I had somehow broken it while asleep - guessing I kicked the footboard.  Hope yours is all gone tomorrow.  I know this is hard to believe but someday you will miss those messy rooms, I promise.  Not the mess literally but the reason for the mess.

    Meece - I hope the UI process is painless for you.

    Hi Sheila!  When do you start replacement process?  Just think of the beautiful smile you will have when you go to live in Hawaii.

    Hello to all - so busy today that I didn't even take progress pics.

    (((((((Sandy))))))) 

    You've got me beat, Diane.  I'm a little scared to know it's possible to break a bone while sleeping.  I thought it was bad enough when I've injured myself just laying on the couch...

    Foot is much better today, thanks.  Weird how it took so long to hurt the way it did.  Now I need to figure out why my arms hurt so much.  I did the elliptical on Friday (using the arm bars), but they shouldn't still be this sore from that.  I did push some stuff across the basement yesterday so the floor guys could fix our buckling floor - but I don't think THAT should make them this sore.  I get too sore from doing the simplest things these days.  Am I just getting old?  wth?

    Sounds like you are doing a lot of work on your house, Diane.  I think if I did what you are doing, I'd end up paralyzed in the hospital.

    ((((((TOL)))))))

    Give yourself some time, Sheila.  Slow and steady.  And drink your water.

    I'm at my max weight and not happy. Did the elliptical today. Now I need to try not to snack tonight.

    Diverticulitis is sometimes a painful condition.  It is in the large intestine and pouches form in the sides of the colon. That's why you should eat lots of fiber.  Small seeds from fruit and breads like poppy seeds, sesame seeds, strawberry seeds get caught in the pockets and can cause infection.

    My SIL's colon ruptured and she went in for emergency surgery, they had to remove some of her colon and she had a colostomy bag for 6 months while the colon healed then she had it reattached.

    The flu is running through my workplace rampedly, knock on wood, I feel fine.
