Weekend Chew and Stew - November 10 & 11, 2007

I have somethings I would love to vent about

I am not sore, the cold did me no harm and I am about to go to a friends house with my family for dinner and gathering! We will be discussing the Holiday dinner that we have to plan for Dec 21st. Lovely!!

We're here if you need to vent, Dawn.

Allison! How exciting.

Dina...wow, Christmas is really drawing near...

I'm cold, but that's nothing out of the ordinary for me. I'll spend the next few months being cold. I hate it.

Well I am glad to see almost everyone is in good spirits with all this cold weather we been having that last few days. Not sure how it happened or worked even but when I took that mucle relaxer mom gave me for my neck yesterday and for my sholder some how it relaxed me enouh to not caugh as much all day and even last night when I took another one I was not to bad with the caughing. It feels great not to hurt all over from this cold for a change. Lord knows that pill worked better than over 50 halls cough drops and all the other meds I have tried the past few week. I hope it continues to work. Oh Marilyn before I forget to tell you there is a movie on tonight at 8 on life time movie channle if you have not seen it you might like to see. I think it is called The Oldest Living Confederate Widow. it is in 2 parts and not sure if it will both be showed tonight or the rest will be shown tommorrow night or next week. I just thought it might be a movie youd like to see.

Times are just so hard for me right now, I know I have to continue to believe that God will always be here with me and for me. But sometimes I just feel like yelling, and screaming and asking Why me!!! Why Me!!! . Why do I always forget about me. I put others problems before mine, and stop getting my life together just to help someone who really doesn't have an answer as to what they should do. So I do my best at making them feel comfertable and move them into my home. In the begginning its all good, but people tend to forget and start to treat me like I owe them the world when I tell them want to do things to better myself. Oh boy is going to turn into a book. Just venting........

I'm able to walk today without TO much trouble!!!

That's okay, Dawn. I understand about putting the needs of others first. I think women tend to do that more than we should. Dr. Phil always says you can be any good for others if you haven't taken care of yourself. We do forget that....

Oh good, Holly. You've had me concerned.

Angela, glad you're feeling a bit better. Don't know if we'll be watching a movie tonight or not with Tiff here.

I had heard you say it was a bit cold for you all to be out so I just thought it would be something of maybe some historical back ground that Tiff could learn about from a historical point of view for her schooling. One of my neices who has been having the seizures is about her age and they are studying the cival war so I was thinking the movie would help both girls learn. It is on quite late though i think in thev intirety of the whol.e movie its about 4 hours. One one of the stations I know it is on tonight it is running all 4 hours of it. But I think the station I told you about it runs 2 hours in 2 night intervals I am just not sure what night the second part will be on.

Thanks Marilyn!!

Grrr. When my son became a vegetarian, I cut back on meat consumption myself. Hey, it was easier and cheaper for us to eat the same things. Even now, with a hubby who likes his meat and potatoes, I don't eat all that much meat. And don't you know, when I do it fights me now. Arby's roast beef used to be my favorite sandwich. Now if I eat one (which I did last night) it talks to me horribly. Sometimes just that fire in my belly that I get. Sometimes the IBS kind of symptoms. I had both from the Arby's last night. Today I had chicken for dinner and that did the same thing. Maybe I'll just stop eating meat. (Sure would make my son happy. :)

Angela, I thought I responsed to you again. Guess that's when my computer froze up again. Anyway, what I thought I posted was that when Tiff is here, we never know if she'll sleep here or at her friend's house. :) Bless her heart, she's sleeping here tonight. In fact, she's already off to bed. She gets up really early on school days (like 4:30ish) because of her mother's early schedule. So now when she comes here, she's often in bed by 9.

So here I am again, almost 12 hours later. The dog and I had a mild disagreement this morning. He thought his pit stop should come before mine. Fat chance. He squiggled and squirmed outside the bathroom door waiting for me. Thankfully, he didn't bark and wake everyone else. He wasn't as desparate as he pretended either. Once it was his turn, he leisurely took his turn going from tree to tree as usual.

Sure am doing lots of hurting lately. I think it's the cold and damp weather. Muscles, joints, bones all hurting. And this morning, I woke with both hands tingling. It felt as if they had both been asleep and were waking up. You know the feeling? It's been a while for that too.

One doc told me that tingling hands meant I was heading for arthritis, but they've done those tests and done those tests. What I've discovered is that usually when my hands start tingling for 4-5 days in a row, the rash that I get on my hands and feet is about to erupt. Guess we'll see.

It's cold. Don't know how cold, 'cause sometimes knowing just makes me want to snuggle back under the covers. And I really do need to iron something to wear to church later. So, I'll be off for now. Back later.

Oh, and that response at 8 something last night should have started:

Angela, I thought I responded to you again. :)

Its ok Marilyn I guess it is a good thing she did not get to see the movie. The movie turned out to not be the one I thought it was anyway. It was a bit different than I remember. Other wise the last few days have been pretty good. Mom says if the blood in my urion keeps up as if has the past few days she going to have me in Monday for blood work. I think it is just from all the meds I took to get rid of my cold. It is still hanging on some but getting managable. Hope all is well for everyone this Sunday.

It rained quite a bit this afternoon. Now it's really cold and damp. Brrr. Sure would like to just jump into bed and wake when my body wants to, but I'll be off to my women's small group meeting at 7. So sleep now is doubtful.

I just got 38 article notifications, all Fibro Support postings, dumped in my e-mailbox at once. They have different authors, and the dates are completely random. Some of the article notifications I've seen before, others I haven't. Anyone else have this problem?
