I'm here. I haven't posted much in Eons in the past few weeks. I was diagnosed by my Rheumatologist this past week.
The weather is getting cold here in NW Washington. Well, at least it feels cold to me. All the mountains around our house have snow on them now. We live in the foothills. Its not officially winter yet even.
Last winter we got 3 feet of snow one week. For the location we live that is highly unusual. Usually we get 6 inches of snow to maybe a foot at most at any one time. So, don't know what it will be this year. We also get incredible windstorms because we live at the base of the Pass. This results in power outages of one day or more usually.
Last winter we had a power outage and huge windstorm and it was 20 degress outside and snow all over. So this year we hope to install one of those generators that will kick the power back on in the house automatically when a power outage happens.
Anyway, here I am! Lol!

I am still working 10 hour days covering 3 stores for the next month, so am usually too tired to do anything else, especially on computer. I hope the new employees work out as I am exhausted, burnt out from this job. I can see light at end of tunnel so ignore most of the mess. Steve takes care of dinner so I can come home and rest. He drives me as I don't trust my driving when I am this tired.
I have Sundays off to try to do a little something, not today. But, on the plus side, I am here on eons - a rare treat.
blessings .........!

im here.. ya all know my story. its fall. garden needs caring, wood needs cutting etc. sorry
I'm here at least every other day or so, but haven't been posting much as usual. As I've said before, I started in October getting my SS checks, Well - the only thing I have said that I was going to do with the first one was to get my house cleaned. So, this week my brother in law and my hubby and son cleaned out my garage, hauled all the junk that had been accumulating there to the Goodwill or the dump, then pressure washed the whole house. Then Sat I went to my granddaughter's birthday party, 5 hour drive, home today. I've been crocheting like crazy, finishing 2 afghans for one of my yahoo groups and am taking it to Atlanta, 4 hour drive, and back on Wednesday.
Then, since I have hauled in a bug problem from going to yard sales, we have to clean out all the kitchen cabinets so the pest control man can spray all the kitchen cabinets on Friday. Then on Monday and Tuesday I have two ladies coming to clean my house (2 ladies, 2 days - yes.) I told them I want my house as clean as if they were going to move into it. I called references and everything. I will let them wash all the dishes and load them back in the cabinets. Then on Wednesday or Thursday I have the carpet cleaning folks coming to clean carpets and the upholstery in the living room.
Then on that Friday the 20th, we start our Thanksgiving 'do' which is the weekend before Thanksgiving. Thank goodness we go the hubby's sister's house for Thanksgiving Day and I don't have to do anything but show up, and I don't have to stay long. After Thanksgiving, I plan to rest, rest, rest.
Bean, I'm foundered just reading your post! I am struggling with a huge lack of motivation and exhaustion from sleep issues. I've had three insomniac nights in a row this week alone that has brought on fog, pain, and is making me feel like an automaton. I've really had a problem for several weeks, and usually have a couple of nights a week that I'm still awake when dawn graces us with beautiful colors. I put on my sleep mask again and try to sleep. Needless to say, this has all made my skin hypersensitive, and I feel like I'm going to come undone. Looks like I'll have to ask my Dr. for some ambien. I think some of this is from taking myself off the temazepam too quickly.
Last night we went into Tulsa for Chinese with my son's girlfriend and some other dear friends. Today Himself and I took my MIL and SIL to lunch at my MIL's favorite restaurant, Red lobster, for her birthday lunch. Tomorrow we go to another SIL's house for dinner to continue the celebration of my MIL's birthday, (Goddess spare me, I feel more nerve twitches coming on) then I probably won't leave the house till next week. This sleep thing is a nitemare, and half the day is gone when I finally get to sleep in the morning and don't get up till after noon o'clock.
I'm still dealing with computer problems, although part of the problem is fixed, but now I find myself locked out of Facebook because it stopped taking my email user name and password, when it worked fine earlier. I'm so tired and discouraged with all this silliness, and just generally feel like crap. The poison ivy problem is finally clearing up after getting a depomedral injection and am taking something to help with the itching and make me sleepy, not, but the going is slow, and it looked horrible, being on my jawline and face, and is slow to heal and itches like the dickens. I've been dealing with this for almost two weeks, and I never once came in contact with the wicked weed. My younger son and I get it out of the air when people burn leaves and deadfall in the area. This is the first time in years I've been in Sand Springs in the fall, with all the traveling, so I haven't been exposed to the oil in the smoke from all the illegal burning. One doesn't have to see the smoke, it's around here and there, and wends it's way to my poor skin. So that's my story, and I'm sticking to it.
I'm sorry for those of you who have lost family members, that's so sad and my heart aches for you. It's never easy, and with the depression we all fight with it makes things even more overwhelming for us when something like that happens. Courage my darlings, you're the best and the brightest, and you will get through the travails life throws your way at times. In the meantime, while you're dealing, be kind to yourselves when the sadness or the problems strike, and do what is necessary to make the changes you have control over to better your situation. Hippie, sweetie, chin up, you know what to do to make it better, and when the time is right for you, you will. Till then, you have our love and encouragement. Love and light everyone.
I'm here too. Just like everyone else life seems to get so busy and we too tired to sit down and visit with our friends. So sorry ya'll, but I have been thinking a lot about everyone and missing our talks and the great information. I couldn't sleep this morning, and I have today off so I could have slept in for once...but oh no it's 4:00 am and I am wide awake, so here I sit. Anyways, not much new with me just working full time and babysitting my Grandson on Saturday. Sunday is my day to rest, and that is exactly what I do.
Love to all,
lori
