    The misery of pain.

    Ever nap during the day?

    Nope! Just never seem to manage it. Can sit down and rest though. Not good staying in one position for any length, hence the being awake now!

    heehee! As good a place as any!

    Main problem for me is my back - cervical. But I had an arthroscopy on my knee 2 1/2 weeks ago which was going great. No pain, walking normally etc. except this evening there's a dull ache that won't go away and it's what woke me up. It's ridiculously sore!

    Hello Nicky!  I'm here in Nebraska, practically the center of the continental US if my geography is correct.  I follow Teka in being one with my recliner...unfortunately my behind shows it.  Sorry you can't sleep.  I just woke up from a reclinernap.

    Now I need a snack....another reason my behind has recliner marks.  Too bad I gave away all the cookies I baked.  What was I thinking??

    you gave away cookies without keeping some for yourself??! Very bad planning!

    Hi, by the way!

    hey Nicky, Teka, Phyllis! I relate to you all. Sitting where I spend my life - in my recliner, in pain (more about that later), have been craving something sweet. A small hot fudge sundae is sounding good (my gut and butt don't need it, but hey, a girls gotta do what a girls gotta do!). My short absence was to search Pinterest (does anyone do that, I'm hooked on food porn, this time I need the taste beside the sight), a single, mug-sized serving of chocolate molten cake is sounding yummy. Recipe says it takes 5 minutes start to finish, but that means me leaving the comfort of recliner and heating pad. What to do?

    Please call me 2nd or 2TA, the full name takes too long

    thanks 2nd. Hmm, 5 minutes? And then 3 seconds to eat it?? Is it worth moving?? I'd store the recipe up for the next time you HAVE to move!

    Nicky, they were chocolate chip and snickerdoodles.  I do feel sort of virtuous for giving them all away, though.  Sort of.  Plus I did find some cinnamon grahams in the pantry.  Now I need some tea.  They're DRY!

    They're buttery sugar cookie where the dough has been rolled in cinnamon sugar then baked.  Yum!

    A while back in the STFU thread there were lots of recipes including antique ones.  It was pretty amazing.  I love sharing recipes.

    me too!  There's something to do when I can't sleep - I'll trawl back trough the thread. It's one thing I live about having changed countries. I now have recipes from 2!

    yumm, snicker doodles, chocolate, I'm in heaven! Two favs! I think I hear the chocolate calling my name..... Or is it the dieter's tea in the cupboard, locked behind the cupboard doors?

    BTW, under Moving Beyond Cancer, there's a "So...What's for Dinner?" Thread. They talk about meals, food and recipes all the time

    Oh, great. Now I have to start drinking again if I want to get rid of this cold!!! (Have to admit, those toddy recipes do sound good....)

    Had a bit of an emergency with 92 year old FIL today, and DH got to spend 8 hours in the ER. FIL is fine, DH is tired. I got a reprieve because of my nasty cold. Hey, gotta be good for something, eh?

    Yeah, us Cali gals got it easy....when the rest of the country/world is bouncing around from insomnia, it's barely bedtime here.

    I thought y'all could use a little laugh...

    Alright gals you're waking up my midnight snack demons...the ones that live inside me.

    One of my friends from church dropped by this afternoon to bring me a beautiful container of peanut butter fudge her sister made for me. She hadn't been gone very long when my brother dropped in for a couple hours. Then after DH got in from work and dinner was finished another couple from church came by to return our truck. He had fixed our heater core. They visited for an hour or so, and she gave me a Bath & Body Works Candle. (Cinnamon Frosting) Maybe that's why I'm craving sweets. I haven't lit it yet. Just have the lid off, but it smells so yummy.

    All in all, I'm feeling really blessed today, not because of the gifts, but because of great friends.

    Hi Nicky! Welcome aboard!

    Paula

    thanks Blessings, I did laugh! Hey, I'm almost there myself... I hear the chocolate calling me again. Lazy butt wins!

    Paula, wonderful that company visited today! I took Anastrozole (Arimidex) for 6 months - it made me have the worst food cravings. Seems like without fail I would be ravenously hungry every night around 10, the more I tried to ignore, the worse the cravings got. Now it's just occasional - like now. Can't say I miss that SE

    Blessings, so sorry to hear about your FIL, hoping it's not serious. 

    Reminds me, need to go back and read the pages again from last night

    hello Blessings and Soteria!

    It's now 6.45, so I've made it through another night, thanks for the company! I'm going to go shower and start my day. With family arriving tomorrow for Christmas there's plenty to do. Maybe if I make a bit of noise I can wake up the sleeping beauties here to give me a hand! Maybe I'll be back tonight, either way I'll speak to you all soon!

    Nicky x

    Hi, Maddy! Those reindeer looked uncomfortably familiar... like my butt in my fat stretch pants!!!! (FIL is fine... not the first time this has happened... they examined him and released him and he feels fine now. Thanks for asking.)

    Hi, Soteria!!! What wonderful friends!!!

    Hi, NickyJ! Welcome to the thread! I visited Bordeaux, France a very long time ago.

    Pawprint - cool! When I first saw Pawprint on My Favs List, I was thinking we got ourselves another night owl. So how many dogs and what kind are they?

    Thanks, mostlymom and welcome! Very cute! Owlettes (as long as  no one calls us Towelettes)

    Pawprint, how darling! I bet they keep you company (better than my 2 cats, both girls too, but not affectionate unless they want something)

    Just realized we haven't heard from Oz ladies in a while. Hope Chrissy, Aly and Aussie Shiela are doing well - in their summertime now.

    Yes 2nd, they are my precious fur babies. It's sad to see them getting older with failing health. 

    Mostlymom, Owlettes is a cute name.
