ANOTHER MONDAY! 9 NOVEMBER

[Punkin]

Good Monday morning to all. It is still dark out and we are supposed to have rain. Hopefully, it will end early tgis morning. Our high temp today will be 55. Winter is working its way to SC! UGJ! I HATE WINTER!

I MUST get out to get my hair done, do some grocery shopping, get rid of my trash, pick up my mail and meds and go to book club. Wish me luck.

Tomorrow is Donald's sentencing hearing. It will be a rough day!

It must be too early for my brain to be awake. I cant think of anything that is interesting enough to post. I guess I need to try and get some sleep. Y'all have a great Monday!

[JoGee]

You must have wakened me, Val. I've been up for an hour. Can't get back to sleep.
Am hoping to get "40 winks" before I need to get ready to go to my doctors appointment today.
So I'll probably check in again later today to see what's going on with everybody. 🤗

[Punkin]

I am sorry I woke you up! (Not really. I love reading your posts!!!!)

Good luck with your doctor's visit. I don't have any doctor's appointments until next Monday when I get my eye injection. I HATE those injections!

I am really ticked off. I thought I had posted yesterday, but I cant find any posts. I must have been dreaming.

I would love to get 20 winks! How can one be this tires and not be able to sleep? Obviously, the thyroid medicine hasn't kicked in yet. People say it can take a month before I will see any progress.

Ugh. It's Monday. It's POURING rain again and I have a sinus headache.

Howdy, Everyone.

Speaking of not sleeping, John tried to go to bed at midnight but could not lie without strangling, so he got in his recliner and I covered him with a blanket. He did sleep a little, but everytime he coughed, I woke up, so I have not had much sleep, either.

Need to get out of here in about 45 minutes, so will sign off and check back later.

Hugs to All ~ ~ ~

Hello Group......NO Good Morning here either........has rained steady for the past 4 days......enough to drive a person to drink - so, I am. The usual De-caf that fools me into thinking I'm having coffee.

Am a grumpy old woman this morn. Have errands to run and a few more outside chores to be done......can't do them till this blessed rain stops. Would much rather be sitting by the fireplace in my Illinois snow.

OK....will take my whiney old self and get on with the day. Take care now.

Good morning everyone.

Barb, me thinks you maybe moved in the wrong year. With all the rain that you've had down there.

Well today the leaves I put on the garden get tilled under. They make good fertilizer...they ??? say

Tomorrow is another trip to Vincennes to see the back specialist. No injection though until Dec. so it will last, I hope, until I get back from my southern winter accommodations. I hope this good weather holds out through Dec.

Well everyone have a wonderful day.

I also need to make a treat for the volunteer site for tommarow..I think that I am going to make brownies in a throw away pan.

Good morning, all. Are we all having Monday blues? I'm not cranky but I woke up feeling tired after a full night's sleep. I could have slept longer but Lily decided that it was time to get up.
It started to rain late yesterday afternoon and was still raining when I went to bed. Has stopped for now but more is expected around noon.

Hope I'm not coming down with something but I woke with a runny nose and sniffles yesterday along with a sinus headache. At least I'm not sneezing.
Still haven't got my laundry done but it is sorted.

My thoughts are with you Elaine. Hoping John recovers soon.

You all have a great day. I used to hate winter but right now I'm enjoying the rain that has become such a rarity around here.

Do I dare say Good morning? BarbCA and I are the only ones who are happy to wake up to rain!
And like I said, it didn't rain on my way in to church, so no struggle with my umbrella and no hair issues.
I have chicken in the crock pot, potatoes on the stove for "funeral potatoes". A cooked, then shredded, and mixed with sour cream, cream of chicken soup and Butter. Crunchy stuff on top and just a yummy side dish!
Our church youth are decorating boxes tomorrow for Thanksgiving food boxes. I am printing pictures to color to decorate the boxes and also donating autumn leaves to glue on. So I am gathering things today like scissors, glue, crayons and markers and filling a box to have all the supplies...I hate last minute running around to find things!
Sassygirl, cute cats!
Ok, ready to start my day. Hope all of yours gets better for you and your family.

Haircut and bank day for me so that means a trip home. Going to return the curtains I bought last week and have another look in mind. Need to do that tomorrow cuz Drew will be here from Wednesday on this week. Sierra is either working or has study group all week so going to be just me and the little boy. Saturday he woke me up to say we need milk and since I was going to the store some other stuff too. Then he called while I was in the store. Suppose to be stormy here Wednesday but for today it is bright and sunny. Changes are coming because I woke with a headache carry over from yesterday. All the leaf burning may be a contributing factor also. Time to head out and start my running. Hope John is better soon. Happy Monday to all!

Good morning again.
Hey - I didn't say I was unhappy this morning. Just that I awoke uber-early and couldn't get back to sleep. I don't stress about what I can't control. But I did get 2 more hours' sleep, and didn't have to rush getting dressed. Had my dry cereal and an nursing my hot tea now,

Those of you tired of rain, send it here any time! We can *always!* use it.

Well, I just woke E up.... He drives me everywhere. 😀
Today I see my oncologist...or more likely, his head nurse. Routine thing. I really don't like the oncologist himself very much, but he has the credentials I need, ICE.
On Friday I go for the last of the heart tests. Stress ans Echo. Fasting. Yeah, first thing in the afternoon. But they couldn't get me a better appointment (earlier in the day) before my next appointment in January with THAT doctor. But I really like this doctor a lot, the PCP, so won't grumble a bit.

E finally got all the Halloween stuff out of the house, so when I return today, I will start straightening dusting etc., the room. Our X-SIL should be coming by this week, maybe next, to pick up our loveseat (short couch) for her new little apartment. He's helping her move all her stuff. Her current hubby is not in the picture these days, didn't even send her support $ for his teenage daughter, and so she hesitantly asked for $-help (she hates to borrow). They have been living with her son; she lost her house, thanks to her husband. (She won't divorce him before their daughter graduates, anyway. He's a trucker now, and who knows where he lives!). But her X has been a big help to her, he has grown up and become a nice guy. Won't remarry, but keeps hoping he will win her back.
Talk about DRAMA, cookie! LOL.

Temps should make another big drop into the 60's tomorrow, nights back in the 30's again. Yo-yo temperatures. I've got a nice thin sweatshirt on today, with a light microfiber-lined jacket in case I need it.
Didn't look today, but today should reach the mid-70's again. The highs are for just 2-3 hours in the afternoon, so it's layering-clothes season.

Brownies sound good, Beth. I want to bake in the afternoons so the house feels more snuggle-warm at night. I happen to have a brownie mix. And half a can of frosting and chocolate chips to turn into EZ fudge to pour on top!

Hope the day gets better for everyone who have the grouchiest today. 😄
