01. Good idea, MyGetAway. 02. The headaches, etc. are a part of the fibro. 03. I've been writing down everything I've done today. 04. FroggieGirl sounds very happy; enjoy your weekend. 05. Jewels, I am so sorry about the water heater. 06. Is there anything you can do to make the waiting time productive instead of having angry time? 07. This form is going to drive me insane; of course, it isn't that long of a trip.

1. {hugs} LK, I'm thinking you are a wonderful, brave, open, person... and today on the radio station I listen to they had a clinic, here's the website, but I'm sure you've surfed everywhere too... Fibromyalgia 2. DH is driving me crazy... 3. I'm driving dh crazy... 4. DD is driving BOTH of us crazy!! 5. I'm still spraying and picking at the darn wallpaper. 6. Dreaming of Disney does help get me thru some rough spots. 7. Today I booked an illuminations cruise online, well no, I didnt book it, someone posted they had room for us, so for $30 we get to go on the night cruise to view the fireworks!! DH and DD dont know yet - its a $120 cruise that you have to book, and its as popular as the Cinderella castle breakfast! And all I did was read websites, and message boards!! 8. I am not looking forward to the 4th antics, and being villified by people(its a scout thing!) - - I want to just retreat into the safety of a room that needs picking, and priming, and painting...

7.5. Lkunkel, that paperwork is one of the hardest things to fill out.To sit down and really realize how your life has changed is very hard to do. I know because I have been there. It made me very depressed after filling out the paperwork. I have talked to several people and they had the same reaction. Hang in there kiddo!

01. Tater is quite correct; Reader thank you for the site--I wish I was closer to the clinic in the site! 02. Filling out the form is very depressing. 03. I am now seeing how much my life has changed over the past 3.5 years. 04. It's so slow, you don't realize the changes until you fill out the form. 05. I am typing up answers, since as I write and remember, my answers read less and less coherently on the form, which kind of helps my case for brain fog, but doesn't help understand what I was getting at. 06. I realized while writing last night that the problem I have isn't in making friends. 07. The form asks about going out; I wrote: "Going places tires me out, which then reduces the fun quotient. As I become more tired and begin aching, I become depressed and irritated, which tends to make my answers to others short, and snappish, leading people to believe I am anti-social, instead of realizing that I'm in pain." 08. So, I guess it is me--or rather the disease--that doesn't help me make friends, which makes me question the wisdom of my going to the LV Gathering. 08.02. Nah, I'll just have pain pills on hand, and in my system. 09. I did decide that I want to get a new walker--the one that has a seat!

1. Darren is working til 6pm tonight (12 hour day) so he can be off for a three day weekend. 2. Today is very hot and windy here. Like walking out into an oven. 3. Today has been a pretty lazy day. I've done a couple chores and spent time painting Dakota's nails but thats been about it. 4. Most of the reason is that I'm just exhausted. Second night in a row I haven't had any sleep at all. 5. I'm almost to the point I can't even think straight. 6. I still have no idea what time one of my classes is or what day of the week it is. Hoping very hard it doesn't conflict with one of the other two or I'm going to have to drop it. 7. I'll wait til the begining of August to go out and find out what books I need. That's always the expensive and dreaded part of classes, lol. 8. The kids had a wonderful time at their campout the other night. Grandma made them all bows and arrows out of twine and stripped tree limbs. They really turned out cute. She took the kids on a bear hunt where they had to find clues and hunt the bear and shoot it. Caleb didn't find any clues but he stumbled over the bear, lol. 9. The kids spent yesterday taking naps and vegging in front of the tv, they were exhausted. I figured that was normal, my neice and nephews did the same thing. Talked to mom this morning, she said she was in bed by 6pm last night totally exhausted and slept through the night, lol. Said she was too old to have five kids overnight anymore! 10. Oops, LK beat me to 9. I hope all my TVCH friends have a happy and safe 4th of July!

1) boss's Dad died yest. afternoon (Lupus). 2) There are two other mgrs. besides myself & the boss. 3) The Svc. mgr. was on Vac. (out of town) this wk & the Sales mgr. was out of town. 4) So - Today that made me the BOSS (the one & only mgmt. person). 5) I'm OK being the "fill in" mgr. in the other depts but we have 1 salesman that just urks me. 6) He's only been with us 12 wks & b/4 he was hired he struck me as the "sleezy used car salesman" type (no we don't deal with cars where I work). 7) Then this morn. he was bragging to me that the neighbors Pit Bull dog was "bothering" him so he injected battery acid into a weiner & got rid of his prob. 8) Well, I am an avid animal activist so this really bothered me & I told him so. 9) Like any weasel, he tried to sugar coat what he had just told me. 10) I am just glad to be done with the whole work scene until Tues.

1. Texasdeb, your #7 just horrified me. I can't imagine how awful it must be to have to work with someone who just told you such a thing. Enjoy your long weekend! 1.1Wishing all TVCHers a safe 4th weekend!

2.1 Texasdeb, there is something fundamentally wrong with someone who would do that. Or even with someone who would just make something like that up to irk you, which is more likely the case.

1. I was never a fan of Pit Bulls either until my cousin rescued one. She is the sweetest dog you'd ever want to meet, and also quite the scared-y cat. 2. I hope Texasdeb never has to hear that kind of talk from that guy again! It's just sick what he did. 3. We were invited to go to the drive-in movies tomorrow night in Allentown (yay, Eggie!) with another couple...the same couple that we're trying to plan a trip to Great Adventure with. Hopefully we'll nail down a date tomorrow night...I need my roller coaster fix!

1. My son had his bike stolen last week. That really made me angry. 2. I am tired of my aching back. My surgery is scheduled for next Saturday. 3. I know I will be in pain afterwards but it least it won't be permanent. It will be nice to go to movies and just out shopping again. 4. One of our ex employees died in the middle of the night from an asthma attack. She was only 27 and had twin daughters in kindergarten.

1. I'm ticked off that someone stole Matthew's bike, too. GRRRRrrrr! 2. I got a higher DSL connection yesterday and I'm totally thrilled with how fast everything is loading. It's smokin'! I'm ready for late night reporting on Big Brother now and I can't wait to see the people actually move on the web video streams! 3. I'm thinking good thoughts and praying for Kady and I hope she mends fast because I want to go shopping and to movies with her when I'm home in September. 4. We wanted to go see Spiderman today, but all the movie theaters were sold out. Singaporeans must love small men in colorful tights. 5. It's another hot day in Singapore. I'm sick of the weather always being the same here. I miss my seasons.

roflol - small men in tights! {{hugs}} Kady, hope the date comes quickly for you, and your healing time is fast!! TATER!! its been awhile, hope your itchies are all gone! I agree with Froggiechick Azriel, Chicago did the best it could to give you at least 3 seasons in one week!! I'm so sick and tired of the wallpaper, I just want to paint with the primer and see how bad it will look, but no, I have to spackle the whole darn room... hate this

((((kady)))). a few weeks ago, someone stole my niece's playhouse out of her grandma's backyard, isn't that nice? people who steal little kid's stuff are pathetic! 3. my friend and i went to see the stepford wives yesterday. it was a theater full of women, whom were all howling! too funny! 4. this was a trade off movie. lol. my friend didn't really want to see it, but said she would if i went to see the terminal or spider man 2. that's fine with me. since more than likely it will RAIN all weekend. 5. it actually is supposed to be only "partly cloudy" tomorrow for the 4th. this is good. we are going to a thing put on by a local church, called i love america. should be fun. 6. happy saturday everyone! hope you all have a safe and happy 4th, too!

1. Talked to the mailman today. He asked me if I saw the bear when it was in my yard....WHAT!!!????!!!?? Uh, no, I was working. Apparently the bear was in the backyard and the mailman saw him/her and chased it into the neighbors bushes. Then the bear charged at him......that's where the newspaper story kicked in. I feel like I'm living Ripley's "Believe it or not". Here's the link. http://www2.theclarionnews.com/Sports/29964.shtml 2. Good news was the the bear was actually ONLY 400 pounds instead of the reported 500. YE GADS! It took all of our paramedics to load it into the bear trap. 3. We had our fireworks tonight and they were awesome. I walked down to the stadium with the new band director and his wife. 4. We are going canoing tomorrow afternoon. This will be fun! 5. I'm leaving on Tuesday for the great white way...planning on seeing shows on Tuesday night, Wednesday afternoon and night and Thursday night....then drive back. WHOO HOOO! I'm hoping for Assassins and A Raisin in the Sun since they are closing soon. I'll play it by ear for the others. 6. I'm going to try for rush and or standing room tickets in the morning (about 20-25 dollars) then lotteries for Wicked, Avenue Q and/or Hairspray and if still unsuccessful I'll hit the TKTS line for half price. 7. It was hot for the first time today. I'm anxious to move to my new air-conditioned house. You could fry an egg in my attic. There is NO stove in my attic! Happy 4th of July (and happy Canada Day)!

1. Marm, I enjoyed reading about your visitor. BTW, did you ever get my email about PA?? I'll be meeting up with Froggiegirl in Allentown...yay!! 2. I went into work this morning and tied up some loose ends in my cubicle. It looks so naked in there with all my personal stuff removed. 3. Then today I met Seamonkey at the Bake'n'Broil for lunch! We thoroughly enjoyed our lunch and had a fun time just talking and talking!! We've decided to make this an annual event and anybody who lives in the area is more than welcome to join us! Heehee...I got another QUACKLE!!! 4. Yesterday was my official last day in my cubicle. I packed up my stuff and moved it to my new department and as I unpacked my stuff in my new office, I was suddenly overcome with a bittersweet moment and I felt tears come to my eyes. I'm going to miss my Admin and my co-workers...yet, I'm excited about "new beginnings" with the hospital. I have to tell you, when I arrived in my new department with my stuff, my new Director and the office secretary made me feel so welcomed and they are so excited that I'll be starting next Monday. I'm excited too! 5. I did get my "Get the Heck Out of Here/Congratulations" lunch party yesterday! When I walked into Admin's spacious office, there was a 6ft burrito and all the fixings sitting on her conference table!! Plus a gorgeous cake, sodas/pop and presents!! Yay!! They treated me like a queen and I was really quite taken aback, not expecting this type of send off. 6. Plus! My new Admin and new Director were invited to the party and I thought that was so nice of my Admin to include them. 7. Back to today. After I got home from having lunch with Seamonkey, Egbob and I went to our city park for the annual Founder's Day festivities. We saw lots of old friends and got caught up on what every has been doing. We ended up staying to watch the fireworks show. 8. Now I've got to make my potato salad for our BBQ tomorrow. Everyone have a great 4th of July!!

1. I got a new cleaning thingie today! I love it! It's the Mr. Clean Magic Eraser and I've been wiping everything in sight. My kitchen is spotless and this thing was so easy to use. 2. Darren got up this morning and cleaned his desk. And around his desk. And under his desk. 3. That set me off. I've dusted every ceiling fan, every door frame, the wall heaters, corners. Cleaned windows, mini blinds, scrubbed floors and have just finished sweeping the den. I'll mop it and the kitchen before I go to bed. 4. Poor kids got trapped in the middle, lol. So they got to spend a good part of the day cleaning as well. 5. They started fighting over what cartoon to watch this morning. Dad put a stop to it very quickly by grounding them from the tv today. 6. When they were done cleaning, I sent them out back to play. They whined and fussed for awhile like usual. Then they got quiet. Now, as any parent knows, quiet usually means they're up to something they shouldn't be up to. I peeked out back wondering if I'd find the dog shaved or dishes being used for mud pies only to find that they'd built themselves a clubhouse using the swimming pool cover and their little picnic table. 7. I feel a little guilty for automatically thinking they were up to something, but with my two that's usually a safe bet, lol. They're not bad kids and they usually don't get in alot of trouble, but they can be....creative. 8. I've got to go shopping and buy myself a couple new outfits and some new tennis shoes. I hate shopping for myself, and really don't do much of it. The kids always need something in the way of clothes, and Darren buys more than I do usually. But, I know I need it. 9. I again got no sleep last night. Now here it is, 3am, and I'm sitting here wide awake wondering if I can at least get a couple hours. I figure sooner or later I'll be exhausted enough I'm just going to fall over where I stand and sleep some.

1. I have the headache from hell!! 2. I got it Friday night and it is still here. I take something and it will ease up but then comes back strong. 3. I really need someone to come Wargod my house. It is getting to be such a mess since I hurt my back. 4. DH and DS are doing the best they can but it needs a woman's touch. 5. The thing DH hates the most is grocery shopping. 6. They are really gonna appreciate me when I get all well. 7. There is nothing good to watch on tv tonight. Maybe I'll finish up the book I'm reading. 8. I had some watermelon awhile ago. It was extremely yummy. 9. These are very boring facts but my life is very boring lately. Somebody needed to do 10 so we could start over. 10. I hope everyone enjoyed their 4th of July. My son is now on the countdown to his 13th birthday. Only 26 days to go.

1, Since we had our fireworks yesterday in my town, I have done some other things with the new band director and his wife. We went canoing and it was a blast! They had never been, and the scenery was beautiful. We each got a picture to remember it. Then we went to the Theatre, Artshop and camping areas. I saw one of my grads at the theatre and that was fun. We then went out to eat in our "we just got out of the river clothes"....now home to relax. They are going to Spiderman tonight. A very fun day!

1. I got home from the beach last night. I had the best beach week I have had in years and years and years, probably since I was a child. I wish I was still there! 2. I met Essence for coffee this afternoon-- my first ever TVCH meet! She is absolutely lovely!! She is going to post a picture of us when she gets back home.
