Hen House Talk With All Our Friends - Part 9
wow this is ducky weather. We've got flood warnings. I pulled my car down to the bottom of the driveway and got out and my foot sank up to my ankle in water. I will have to watch to see it does not get into the basement. Cats are very unhappy.
Got the house cleaned today,although I felt like napping, but just too much to do. In and out about 4 times to take my daughter to school and pick up and back to school 5 hours later and pick up..
So now I'm making spaghetti and listening to Crosby Stills and Nash. Some good oldies. Trying to figure out how to update my resume, not something I am looking forward to doing. Feeling like I'm trying to catch a cold, feel just run down and sneezy which is normal coming after all the stress of the last month. I always get sick after I've been stressed out bad.
Anyways I hope we're in and not going back out in that duck soup.
I pray all the hens/roosters are fine. The board's been quiet. Love to all.

(((Windy))) - hope you feel better, soon!
(((Dee))) - sorry it's been so busy.
(((Med))) - we DO have water in our basement - about 2 inches Dad bought he and I a new treadmill, today, but it has to go in the basement. So, he'll get a pallet from one of the people he delivers stuff for and will put the treadmill up on that. The rain also leaks in through the roof in my room..onto the chair I'm sitting in, so if it gets bad, I'll be in the bed!
Dad also got stepmom a brand new 40-inch TV, but has to wait until the table comes in for it, but she will love it. He gave me my Christmas $$ today and money to pay off the online school, so my checking account looks much better..for a little bit.
I only did a couple of stores because we were under a tornado watch, and I could barely see the road, with the wipers on high. I did go by the grocery store I'll be doing the demo for, and it's all set up. Just have to get the few things I need for it. The store is actually about a block from the outlet mall where Brit works.
I still couldn't get to sleep until 4a.m., this morning. Hopefully, I can get myself into a better routine. Oh yeah, got my schedule for this next week and I still have way less hours than most others, BUT it's okay...I have plenty of stores to do to keep me busy. I still think they're trying to punish me, but when I go in, tomorrow, and act HAPPY about my schedule, well **** them
I keep reminding myself...I lived through some pretty rough stuff, the past few years. McD's is nothing I can't handle! Of course, the one mgr I have to work with is still going to get on my nerves, but will do the best to ignore her.
Hugs and prayers,
Amy

Dear me, don't get wet, that could cause dry rot in the rafters. Are you away from outlets and plugs? It was bad driving around in that stuff. And you have the right and best attitude about McD's, don't let them get you down after all you've been thru. I think sometimes about that psalm, and I think we're walking thru the valley and soon we'll be up in the meadow. Hang on better things are coming. I have started going to be about 1230 the last 2 nights, I've got more energy when I sleep normal hours. It's hard to get into that rountine. Just take care of you.
Dee hope it slows down for you.
Windy go see a GI doctor, you seem to issues with this. This is NOT normal.
love guys.

I've checked and just have a few minutes. (((med))) I love CSN&Y! I do prefer more rockin' music to clean by, like Tina Turner. I love her!
(((Amy))) Wow, I'm so glad the money thing is more settled. And it seems you're in a better place mood-wise. I'm so happy for that.
(((norty))) Please stay on track. You've fought so hard to pull yourself up to let it slide now,
Must run. Love to all!

got pictures of your rails? Dee you ever see that commercial where they have those folks advertising these tractor like wheelchairs. They have them right up at a cliff edge on the Grand Canyon. I can see myself forgetting how to hit the right button and accidently go forward instead of backwards and I'd be right off that cliff. We howl everytime they air that commercial. It's so insane. I hope you don't have to have a tractor to get around but if you do I bet you don't park it on the edge of a steep canyon.
(((Dee))) - glad you got the rails installed. My uncle got one of those big walk in shower things after he had a hip replacement, and when I went to MN 3 years ago, was exhausted, he kept saying "but you NEED to try out our new shower!!" I growled, told him I NEEDED sleep It is pretty cool, though..don't have to step over the side of the tub to get in, and it has rails.
(((Med))) - I'll never look at that commercial in the same way I figured, I too, would be at the bottom of the Grand Canyon....with the darned wheelchair still sitting up top...probably has an eject button, that only you or I could find.
Hugs and prayers,
Amy

They put these people posed on those chairs that must be 90 at least... Who puts 90 year old folks dangling at the edge of a cliff to sell a hoveround? I'm nervous watching that thing, till I finally saw the humor in it. Yeah we'd be at the bottom like Wiley Coyote.
I really feel like a whining A$$...I come here and whine selfishly . I feel like a ungrateful swine! At least I can hop in and out of the bathtub still and don't have to ride around on a Hoveraround! I really forget to be grateful for things you know??
I feel much better today .I know I get WAY out there in my thinking and I always come to THIS thread when I really need support! You guys are totally the bomb ...
I am here complaining about the rent I have to pay when I used to be sitting here with a needle in my arm NOT PAYING rent or working!
AND I actually have a job where my CRIMINAL HiISTORY is a benefit!! My experience qualifies me for a job where I make more money than I ever have in my life...and YET I complain..AND get high againe KNOWING what I have to loose ?? NOW THERE IS SOME IN FREAKIN SANITY LADIES! Oh..and you too roosters!
NOW THAT IS ADDICTION...I better check myself quick!
Thank you for being here you guys!
Love Norty
the ungrateful.(.but getting better)

(((Norty))) - face it, this is "home" for most of us. This is where we CAN whine, and when things are good, we can bring that here, too.
Don't go down that path, again, sweetie. I "dabbled" for a while, too, and then relapsed and I'm still struggling to get back up from that, and it was close to 4 years ago.
You really DO deserve this life, you know? "Normal" life - working, paying bills, having good and bad days, but getting through it and getting stronger all the time. I know, sometimes, I think I'm destined to be a failure, but I keep coming here and I get over it.
Love you!
Hugs and prayers,
Amy

OK, I'm back. Sorry to leave so abruptly but Hubs was ready and I had to get going.
So, where was I?
(((Dee))) Congrats on getting the improvements! I think you'll be really happy with them. I hope you can get your landlord to make some efforts. Our bathroom is a mess. Peeling paint, crappy fixtures and poor plumbing. What I wouldn't give for a sink and tub that drains properly!
(((Joe))) I'm glad you've joined us! Do keep us posted on the rehab. I certainly believe the best thing I ever did was an inpatient rehab. My DOC is alcohol but I think just being in a safe place, getting a primo education on addiction and some real insight into myself. It was very helpful to me and gave me a great foundation.
(((karma))) Good to see you! (((40T))) Hope you're day is going well. (((windy))) Please look into seeing a doctor about your GI distress. Do you have IBS (irritable bowel syndrome)? Or maybe lactose intolerant? Getting enough fiber? Or are you just a windy old fart? <s>
I have Glee on right now. I have to say I really enjoy this show. LOL It's a guilty pleasure, I'm afraid.
It's colder than monkey's here but nothing like you folks back east are feeling. We have windows that don't close all the way due to warping and earthquake damage, so we stay bundled up at home. I have a hoodie I'm wearing to bed!
OG is staying on her heating pad, the FuzzyB is on covert missions so he's staying busy. What a little kook he is!
We have plans to meet some friends tomorrow. I'm really looking forward to it. They called and asked if "Maris" was around! It worries me that I have such a reputation for "not being there." LOL
I think that's all I have for now. LOL
Much love to all!

I don't know what happened last night with my SR connection. I refreshed this page several times and the last post was Dee telling us to stay at right angles. I figured everybody went to bed and I missed this last bunch of posts. That's weird.
Anywho, NORTY, this is your home. You have a room here it's a nice big airy chickenshouse. They've got your pics hanging in the family hall and the family's just waiting on you to come into the den by the fire.
I love this place. Sometimes I don't post my full pain out on the board because I feel like Debbie Downer and sometimes I cover up my pain with silly silly stuff. Sometimes I cry it out here. You are a beautiful person and a part of the family.
I love each and every henny and rooster here. I am missing the ones that aren't here like Jay and wonder where CQ ran off but I know they'll be back. MUCH LOVELY HUGS
