Good morning All. Coffees on.

[TTheta]

Morning all! Just got out of gym and now in American Lit. It will be hard to sit still but I will manage. :)) 

[A. Dillon]

Do you like American Lit? I personally prefer Russian literature.

 

Also, best of luck with that! Have you tried playing with pens and little things in your pockets? That always helps me.

[Jackie C.]

I remember American Lit as, "Here are novels by American authors that the school board thinks are important." Many of them were terrible, but it was a required course at my school. It often made me think that if the authors could, they'd come back and slap the stupid out of my teacher's mouth. No author wants people to sit in a circle and talk about what their work "really meant."

 

I don't have a lot of positive academic memories from High School.

 

Hugs!

@Belle my apple MacBook Air is old enough that I can't update anymore.  Could I have some sort of site blocker?  I suppose that is possible although I haven't changed anything since long ago when I had no problems.  I guess I'll just deal with it for now.

 

thanks

Ok so I am a genius!!!!  I haven’t been able to drink coffee Since Sunday because it makes me wicked nauseous taking the meds I need to take for my “lump” issue.  Which I naturally have been taking in the morning.  
Duh.  What a dumb arse.   
I can take it at night and by morning I should be good to go!   
It took me half a week to figure this out.  Lol

[KymmieL]

I have gotten to the point that I have to take Omniprozole on a daily basis. Or I will get terrible heartburn.

I am one proud stubborn redhead.Some people don't figure this out why I can be stubborn at times.Story is when I was born,mom saw something was going to happen and she was right after the doctor said I was going to be a redhead.She was right,become a stubborn redhead

[KymmieL]

I'm a dirty blonde.

Had a interesting early morning. Got up quarter to 7. jumped in the shower. Heard the wife leavefor work. Finish my shower come down go to get on the computer. The wife comes back in. Her car died. almost in the middle of the parking lot. She was able to get it moved some. I throw on a pair of pants, my socks, shoes and jacket. I go out to see what I can do. I got it started and let it run. The wife took one of our other cars.

OH, by the way the temp when I was doing all this, With wet hair no less. Was -5.

 

Both my appointments went good. My speech is coming along good. My therapist session went good as well.

Are you going to have to do it that often for the rest of your life?

 

Just wondering, possible future reference. LOL

At least three months

Chilly one this AM in Vermont at -16*F but the car still started so I was happy about that.

Been having a terrible time sleeping this week.  No idea why either.  I sleep an hour or so super hard then I am awake the rest of the night.  Not tossing and turning but fully awake.  Irritated I am fully awake too.  LOL

So I started taking my antibiotics for the lump issue in the evening so I can enjoy my coffee in the moorings.  Its may have something to do with it not sure but its certainly not a side effect to this medicine.

SOOOO I am having my first travel mug full this morning and leaving early to see my therapist later.   It should not be that bad a day.   I am planning to attend as Shawna Leigh again.  

 

 

[TommieAnne]

It's chilly here.

Slept poorly.

Further hampered by watching footage of the debate. Politics. Meh.

Still haven't started coffee yet.

Wish everyone a happy day!

Every surgeon is a little different. I'm on 4x a day 8am, 12pm, 4PM, 8PM fir four weeks then 3x for ... I think 8... then 2x for another 8-12. I'd need to check my notes. 

 

Hugs!

Just woke up, haven't even gotten out of bed yet, but it looks to be a good day. It's 12°F, and the temp is supposed to hit several degrees above freezing. With luck, I'll be able to get out of the house with my 10-month old. We have been cooped up for too long!

[Willow]

Good morning,

 

Had a Nescafé this morning.  I think I prefer my regular dark roast, but no sense making a pot for one. 
 

one of the few things my wife is happy about is that I’m no longer grumpy all the time. Last of the remodeling is getting closer.  I hope to be done before the first of March.  Bathroom floor is underway.  
 

Stay warm everyone, it’s even cold for here.

That is good to hear.  I've never smoked (never even tried it).so I hear it is extremely difficult to quit.  I applaud anyone who can beat an addiction like smoking.

I'm also very allergic to cigarette smoke... how have you managed to co-habitate? Cigarette smoke on clothes will set my asthma off. I'm imagining a nightmare scenario for you... I'm only hoping your symptoms aren't as severe as mine.

 

Hugs!

Yeah, quitting is like fighting a bear - it just seems so much easier to give up the fight and let the bear win.  Then, after you have quit and feel like you're done for good, stress will come and whisper, "Wouldn't a smoke be just the thing right now?"  Or you'll walk past a smoker and the scent will trigger a nostalgic feeling instead of reminding you how disgusting it smells. I had a friend who would always complain about how his clothes smelled after hanging out at my house, and I was always dismissive of the notion until I quit.  Then I would visit a smoker and come home complaining about the stench my clothes had acquired.

 

It's like you can stop smoking, but you can never truly go back to being a non-smoker.
