Daily Whine & Shine - March 25, 2008

I found that quote and didn't really like it. But, with some folks still having snow, there is some wisdom there.

Sounds good!

Marilyn, I'm too tired to whine. I've been away from home since March 7th. I leave for home on Thursday. I am exhausted.

Just stopped by to say "Hi".

Bless your heart, Nina.

Hi Vana!

Marilyn, how are you doing?

Good thing I didn't find this yesterday morning, or there might be a ton of expletives deleted over the activities of the Gather Upgrade staff. I'm not sayin' but.......#$@%^&**

It was unusually cold here yesterday (about ten degrees below normal with a breeze), my baseball practice was after dark, it's Spring Break here for the schools and yet almost half my team's players showed up for practice. It was wonderful. I am so proud of these 10-11 year old boys.

That quote fits us here in South Dakota. But yesterday afternoon it warmed up and even with a breeze it was decent and nice to be outside at the rubble site. I hope the same happens today. My dog is outside more and more.

Sorry, Nina. I finally went to sleep. :-) I'm.....the usual. Damp weather makes it all hurt more.

Thanks for the tip, Maria. I'll try anything (well, almost) for the pains.

It is morning and unusually chilly in Boca. We were down in the forties over night. I LOVE IT!

Glad you're enjoying that, David. Me? I'd love for it to be in the mid-60s. :-)

And I would rather have the mid 70s or above, but it isn't going to happen today. It got cold here last night. At least I am off work and didn't have to get out in it. I am looking forward to the weekend....we're going out of town and it is supposed to be in the upper 70s to low 80s (now, that's my kind of weather).
Hope you all have a good day!

Oh, Renda, I do actually love the 70s and 80s best. I don't even complain much when the weather is in the 90s. But right now, I'd settle for 60s. I'm so tired of cold.

I am tired of cold too. Besides that I have a lot of laundry too catch up on.

Any weather is better than this bitter cold. I am with you all. I think this cold this year is what has turned my life in to a night mare. I swore the first of 2008 my life was going to turn in to a possative thing then the bitter cold set in and I got sicker maybe when the warm weather is here to stay we will get some relief and I can get off this oxagon. I can not stand it much more. Today I woke up for the first time in I have no idea when want was able to breath and not strangle to death so to sp eak. I beged mom to let me try to stay off the oxagon even just part of the day and she refused and said no one but the doctor was taking me off it. but it seems to me i am smothrering now with it more than when I am not on it now. When I caugh with it on it is as if I get light headed where as before with it off and I caughed it was that way and now I do it when it is on. This is a bit confusing to me sence I am not used to wari ng oxagon except in a hospital laying down any way and even then my bedc was rolled up some. The good thing is being up in my chair and not having to lay down with it all the time. Yes I ware it sleeping and when I am awake but at least when I am awake I am in my chair. Last night I even got a decent nights rest and slept till about 11 this morning. I needed the sleep though. Maybe I will be off the oxagon soon I hope.

Last night I was at my ALS support group and the facilitator said that the reason all my friends have fled is that they figure I am going to die, so they are distancing themselves sooner rather than later..very nice to understand, but it doesn't do anything to allay the painful loneliness I feel!

Oh, Fern, that's sad - for you and for them.

One thing's for certain. We're not going to abandon you!
