Well, another week has gone by. What does this week bring? GOOD THINGS, I hope!!
We never know, do we? Praying for Lisa's results this week and for kam to be OK and for her financial situation to be OK.
It's only 54 degrees outside today but I am COLD! Dang. I have the heat turned up, but I'm still cold.
How does Thanksgiving look for you? Any plans?

Tutu--I am chilled here, also due to the rain.
My brother visited with his wife and I so much enjoyed our time together. He did a few chores for me, but too wet to work outside.
I will spend Thanksgiving with my parents in their retirement center.
Lisa--keep us posted. You are in our prayers.
Lymetoo--keep us updated on Kam.
Snow here tomorrow with 35 mph winds--yuk. We do have school through Wed, although we get out a bit early Wed. which is nice as I won't have to hit the road in the dark.
Have a great week as we remember all of our blessings.

thanks lymetoo!!
I had a great weekend without thinking of much stressful things, but tomorrow is monday and that will all change since the dr is open again then.
I wish they never told me they'd call if somehting bad is found! why did they do that??
I am listing things on line , I made some Christmas ornaments and if they sell I may have found somehting I really enjoy making that is easy and fun!
keeping fingers crossed.
best friend's mom hasn't eaten in 3 days. she is barely hanging on now. I will be getting ready to cook dinnner for us all on thursday and take it over there.
she is nervous her mom will die on thanksgiving. I told her then we are thankful of her past life and new life. life is hard, right?

I have a couple of etsy stores. I used to collect vintage stuff - since I was in high school. I started selling my collection when my husband was out of work for a couple yrs and we were in dire straights. so I have a vintage shop on etsy.
then I thought I'd open a shop for my artsy stuff. I re-make old stools and boxes and mirrors, etc. I have sold all that I make and my dream would be to do that 24/7 if I could. but alas.....
then last year before I got dx I got the brainy idea to make sewn stuff for kids. like crayon rolls and hair bows,etc. so I opened another shop for that! haha. that one turned out to not do so great and I realized I really don't like sewing crafty stuff like that type, so I make close it soon. IDK.
THEN.... this year someone reminded me people love dogs, and some more than kids, so I thought I'd try that. the dog shop has actually done more sales faster than any other shop and gets tons of traffic, but the stuff is so low price I can't get rich there, but
now started making more sales and connections at craft fairs & the flea market.
phew, I get tired just typing all this that I do. it is too much all over for me. I should probably trim down.
I just told the local craft place that I will be quiting my booth at end of december, but I am wondering if a smaller space there would work out? it's cheaper- $45- a month rent, but the space isn't very good location for traffic.
I don't wanna leave there, but maybe I should.
my decision making is still so poor. I have always had such issues with that. :/
is it safe to tellyou on here the names of my shops on etsy?
Boy, I'm talking a lot here..... sorry if I'm off topic.

kayak, if you were closer you could come over for thanksgiving!
let me know if the Braggs helps please.
yes, I was thinking that about kam too- if it's easier or harder. sometimes when things happen a new light is shown. I hope that's the case.
I just washed a mountain of dishes. boy, I am glad my husband isn't one of those that gets furious from a messy house.
happy monday everyone!

Lisa, anything for dogs or cats will sell very well. I was thinking about those covers for the dog collars. (made from cloth)
I saw your bandanas and I thought you could make matching dog collar covers. Petco has them if you need to take a look at what I mean.
Many people buy festive collar covers for holidays.

This is the exercise thread that went to the dogs! Ha...kinda miss kam and AK when i think of dogs
I really did basically nothing today except mail one bill so they wouldnt turn off my water and grocery shop. First time ever i pulled into the handicap spot and there was an elec cart waiting for me ...right in the parking lot...didnt have to walk in
I took some pics of ettas coat for lisa and of my finished floors for my brother in alaska where they have a l o n g mud season, dirt(mud) drive...and had white carpets. He said he doesnt know what color they are now but they have to go so ne wanted to see what my floors looklike
I dont think i did anything else. Oh...i ordered two pairs of pants and three tops in case i do get some company. Really cheap too.
And i checked ou the weather...we are now expecting ten inches of wet snow wed afternoon. My daughter is not coming and im glad because that would really stressme out. I guess she has to clean out fil roomat nursing hime friday. So now i think.my oldes.And youngest will be here christmas week with their spouses
Tutu...are you going to texas?
I have plenty to do but i might just veg out. The vinegar and honey makes me not want to eat so i am eating a little when i am supposed to. I am using less omeprazole but havent stopped it. Gi doc appt timorrow

Nope, not going to Texas until Christmas. Too far. It's a 12 hour trip (one way.)
I did some clothes shopping today. Found some really nice things (and on sale, of course!) Just had to get something to wear on Thanksgiving for hubby's gig!
Also went to exercise and did very well! 14 minutes on the machine and 14 laps. (then shopping)
My sciatica flared up but I think it will be OK by tomorrow.
Kam is still holding her own and Rosie is excited because there's a dog in the room next door.

lots of snow coming our way tomorrow. I hope my apt w/ dr doesn't get cancelled! it's at 8:30am.
I have to go out and do errands. I am so tired. no sleep last night. the world is crazy.

I did very little again today. Because of snow and fil death my daughter isnt coming so its hard to make myself do stuff
Im constantly re pri otitizing and only pushing hard to get first couple of things done. Today was sleep from 6 am to 11 am since i never slept last night-this is hsppening too much and the reason i went to gi doc today. When they heard my sx yesterday they wanted me to come in today. I have been over do for this appt for two years...and trying to make it happen since sept. The communication between doc offices is so bad
And shower and get to doc. He wantrd to do colonoscopy and endoscopy next week! But thats when im planning on seeing kids so it is going to be week of 15 th
Im glad i went to the doc...he calmed me down and said i wont die in my sleep from this
Ive been on phone and talking with workers but plan to relax tonight and get up early to prep for storm now they say 12" wet snow

Lisa... hope you can get to your appointment and kayak... good luck on yours in Dec!
I'm glad you went to the Dr...sounds like you needed it!
I bought a little something for kam and Rosie. Hehee...I get to tell it on here since she can't see it.
I got Rosie a bone-shaped toy that says "Good Dog!"

going to dr in about 30 min.
talked to a friend slast night that said her biopsy didn't come back for 6 days, and that freaked me out. I thought since I got no call I am in clear. I will find out soon I suppose. I am very nervous.
I never thought I would be. been through this hell with lyme for 16 months. thought I was made of steel now.

I hurt my hip doing stretches on Monday at exercise. It's really painful. Hope it settles down SOON!! I can barely function.
Hubby has his gig tomorrow. Hope it goes well!
Weather here is in the 40's.. was raining this morning, then sunny, now cloudy.
No snow predicted!
Hope you guys don't get buried in it!

Snow predicted here. Was hoping to get out of town right after work to beat the freezing rain/snow. Not able to leave, yet.
The large spring on my garage door broke this morning and I had to get a neighbor to help me raise the door to get the car out to go to work.
Now I am waiting for the door repairman as I don't want to leave the door half open while I am gone over Thanksgiving.
Sigh--always something.
Happy Thanksgiving to all.

Snowing here - looks like 3 - 4 inches out there and still coming down. School let out at 1 because of the snow. The children are out enjoying it!
I want to bake a gluten free pumpkin pie for hubby and regular ones for the rest of us. This year we decided each family member will make one item for Thanksgiving dinner.
Hubby has been feeling rather yucky the past few days. Working on detoxing to help feel better.
He's had a nice amount of orders coming in to keep him busy with the available energy.

So sorry about the hip tutu
Hiker...maybe you shouldwait a little longer...its a fast storm...the roads will be better
That sounds like happy thanksgiving manna!
One of the four lady friends i have called and said she was alone and cooking a 15 lb turkey and she just found out all four of us are alone so when the roads are clear tomorrow i will go celebrate with them. They are all neighbors and i am a couple miles away. I think i can make a blueberry crumble in my toaster iven to bring. Still no stove here
So im tired from cleaning up outside and i need to do stuff in case we lose elec. Very wet snow. No leaves on trees but they are bending over anyway

Yay! no cancer!!
I am going back in 6 months for check.
happy thanksgiving to me!
what a weight lifted. I was kinda ticked off- all that for nothing. all that stress and worry and RADIATION!
but I got a taste of what it MIGHT be like and I certainly didn't like it one bit while still battling lyme.
you may have seen my beef on here a while back about cancer vs. lyme and how people don't care if you have lyme but go gaga if you have cancer and I told myself lyme would be no lesser of a trial.
I know now it could be the same depending on the cancer. I was wrong. and wrong to think I could handle both. I am so glad I don't have to becasue I was already beginning to give up on my life and I wasn't even diagnosed!!
I do wish the dr would have had office call and say things were OK as soon as they knew! would save everyone lots of stress!
I am just crazy. will I ever be normal?
so after my apt I sent to craft place to tidy up my booth, and MORE food shopping becasue I forgot some things yesterday. and then started cooking food for tomorrow.
after going up and down the steps a few times today my heart was pounding and I felt terrible. time for some cardio maybe?
walking doesn't seem to be doing it for me. any suggestions on easy peasy something to help get back into swing of it?
My daughter came home and cleaned the house today. she can also get sonny to do almost anything an d he helped. so glad.
lymetoo I hope your pain heals fast.

Oh man. You know the cardiac rehab place where I've been exercising for the past 5 yrs (minus a few inbetween)? One of the nurses just lost her 19 yr old son in a car accident.
My heart breaks for her and all of the others. Four boys killed and 4 more injured. Three of the four who survived had on seat belts. They were the only ones with seat belts.
Kayak.. it was Chevy Silverado with 8 kids .. ages 17-19. The driver was 17.
Please add Logan & family to your prayers. His dad is a well-known local entertainer.

Were those boys in the bed of the truck?

Im back cuz i did something...after getting some good deals on things to organize house online, i spent an hour in the kitchen. Im still unpacking and sorting stuff before i clean and put back right
The guy th as t was supposed to install over the stove microwave is stuck from.storm...somewhere between here and TN
I had a really good thanksguving with friends...i did hurt my shoulders(plural now) getting snow off truck and hurt my groin standing in line to buy the only thing i brought to dinner: that dark choclate peppermint bark
But dinner was perfect four old ladies and a 16 yo boy...poor kid. But he managed to join the conversation-hes taking international cooking classes at school and the lady whose house it was at has a doctoate in teaching home economics...so we talked a lot about food
Dinner was really great. I didnt realize how much i miss having a stove. And i slept great last night
I took a break from doing kitchen cuz etta wanted to go out. But she wouldnt walk in snow. It is very icey and heavy. I shoveled her some paths on back patio but she escaped when i was shoveling around gate. I was reallly scared she usually goes to neughboors where her boyfriend is gotta go back later

LisaK--Sorry your Thanksgiving was not what you hoped for. LP--Snow--ugh!
I had a delightful time at my parents and I felt great--no detox needed on Thanksgiving day, but am back to needing my detox homeopathics today.
I did ride the exercise bike at my folks yesterday.
Today I am getting out a few Christmas decorations and playing classical music on my CD player.
Supposed to be in the 50's this weekend, so the small amount of snow will melt and just maybe I can finish raking the leaves. Very windy, though.
Will consume leftover turkey and cranberry sauce tonight--yum!

kayak, sorry about your kids and roller coaster- I TOTALLY relate. ugh
glad you got etta back!
I had terrible day again yest. for some reason it seams as though I care and want to help more than people think I do. my dad went into hosptial and my mom drove back alone to be with him - from philly to salisbury virginia. she was supposed to come and be with me for a few days while hubby and sonny go hunting.
I know.... hunting.... I can only pray they remain tick and disease free. o GOd please help them! my biggest fear....
and please don't bring any home! I am so afraid to get sick-er.
so I tried to help with messages to siblings relayed from my mom when she called me, but they just accused me of bothering her. all I did was cry. why does everyone assume the worst from me? all I wanna do is help.
sorry to unload. I am just so alone. no one gets me. and my best friend is pumping her mom full of meds and they all want her to die fast becasue she herself wants to die, but she is not dying fast enough for them.
I am so confused. is this what people do????
I wanna be alone.
I am so tired.
tired of people.
how do you all stay positive? I am trying. .....
today I got up at 4 and sewed scarves that I will hopefully sell at the next art/craft fair which is next weekend. then I cleaned some dished and made some brownies for hubby to take with him.
now I am strightening up and organizing.....waiting for them to leave so I can gut the craft room and dig out my jewelry making supplies . I really feel the urge to make some jewelry again.

Im glad you feel the urge to do something and are going to do it. I think thats healthy
I am the oldest of six. Two siblings barely talk to me, none of the others believe in lyme even tho it has touched their families, the two that managed to stay married are not happy now. Hen-pecked work horses
It sickens me to see first hand how they drug up elderly i hisputaland nursing homes. Half of themwould probably be happy and able to take care of themselves if not so medicated
I keep my mouth shut about it now...but it scares me thats how
i will end up
Things happen in cycles lisa. Do what m as kes you happy...it will be ok
Many of us have siblings and friends who dont get it

My family is kind to me, but truly doesn't understand about how noise and stimuli bother me or why sometimes I walk well and some days I need my walking stick.
Thank God they do not say negative things--I think that is because they saw me in the hospital at my worst with the seizures and saw how the antibiotics combined with Lyme dropped me to around 80 pounds.
I lost a few friends (and my boyfriend) who didn't get that I could not go to movies or to noisy restaurants, but I guess that mean they weren't great friends.
I don't have a lot of friends that I do stuff with, but the ones I have are wonderful and I thank God for them and my parents and brother.
Did the usual grocery shopping this morning and watched the Illini cream Northwestern in football.
Raked leaves, but that may be a losing cause as the wind has picked up. It would help if my neighbors on either side raked, but they don't. I don't think I raked a leaf today that was off my trees--LOL.
Exercising brings out the toxins that are locked in the muscles, so I will rest before I try to stand up in the shower. I can barely wash my hair before I have to sit down in the tub to finish bathing. Weird. One minute I am outside doing yard work and then I can barely stand or walk.
Still, it feels good to get outside and enjoy the nice weather. Not many more days like this for the year, I'm sure.
I put some pork chops in the oven. Will finish off my sweet potatoes and cranberry sauce with them tonight.
Prayer service at church tonight and then I may watch some of the National Dog Show on T.V.
Blessings.

Kayak.. Hope you get to see family for Christmas. It will be so hard not to be able to do that.
We had choir rehearsal this morning and then most of us decorated the tree for Advent. It looks pretty good!
Hubby and I went out to eat. We ate lunch a few doors down from our usual Sat morning site and an ambulance went by our window on its way to the other restaurant. Kinda glad we didn't go there!
Hubby went to nearby city on his cycle and saw two major wrecks. Then he came home and we heard more sirens near us. I told him it was a reminder to be THANKFUL!~
Hope everyone has a great day tomorrow!
Oh.. kam posted a precious photo of Rosie with one of her toys. It was a moose! It was so cute!!! She said she was glad that Rosie was wanting to take the toy with her again when they left the room. It was a sign of her being more comfortable where she is now.
It's been so stressful for both of them.

I wanted to be able to say my kitchen is perfect before i went to bed but i guess i wont be able to. Its really close. I went to kmart-its smaller than walmart so easier...i needed a rack with hooks tohang mops and brooms and stuff.
Online kmart had this really simple one with two screws...but the one at the store had 9 holes for screws and only gave me 5...so ittook me a really long time to get it up
I know im missing at least one tote cuz i cant find my tea pot anda special paring knife my son gave me when he was about ten
But it looks so much better than when i woke up yesterday. And when i put my baby trees to bed for winter last week i had to trim the bottoms so i fixed little vases with greens and bittersweet berries
I think ill finish it early tomorrow ...when it warms up i am going to have to spend many hours getting snow off roof and patios. Im due for some hard exercise Its coming together. So much more space without totes.
