Hi everyone! As usual, I am soon going to meet my mum for breakfast at Denny's No major plans today ... I guess I'll just putter around the house ... maybe go to the bookstore to look for some Christmas gifts because they have a lot of decor items there ... My mum will come over after Bingo for dinner ... we could have something from my Hello Fresh box that gets delivered today or we could have ham steaks, scalloped potatoes and some sort of veggie ... I'm leaning towards the last option! This is what I posted on Facebook today ... so freaking cute! I hope everyone is feeling a bit better today! What are your plans today? What is on your menu tonight? Have a relaxing Sunday everybody!

My Sunday has been a bit busier than usual. We started with a family FaceTime chat. Younger DS was at his older brother’s house, getting ready to go to the airport to come here, so we had a last minute group check in. Older DS joined us from the car, as they were just home from an outing and Lucia fell asleep in the car. Sophia was being very secretive, telling her uncle ‘don’t show FarFar’ about something she was doing, so I guess he will be bringing some surprise presents from her! DS is now at the airport and will leave Melbourne in just over an hour. Church was lovely this morning, and I stayed for a while after to chat and to sort out a few things for First Communion as I will miss the next two weeks. I think I have all my class signed up now, and the workbooks arrived as well, so we’re set to go.
Dinner tonight will be chow mien mince. I am looking forward to a couple of weeks with no cooking!

Good Morning!
I went to the grocery store early this morning to avoid the Sunday crowds. That worked out well but every aisle was crammed with people restocking. Came home and went for a walk. The weather is gorgeous today.
DH is over at ODS house helping him spread dirt so they can get a yard put in. I might go over later and get the youngest two DGS so they won’t be in the way.
I’m doing the usual Sunday stuff - cleaning and laundry.
Dinner is rechauffe from the past couple of days.
Hoping everyone has a nice, relaxing day.

Hi everyone. I've been away a few days, just popping in the craft thread a little bit. I had a rough week. Lowering one of my meds threw me into a manic state. I had hardly slept all week and then my sinuses were bothering me on top of it. I even missed two days of work this week because of it. 😪 I was in a bad way. But my doctor called me Friday and told me to go back to the higher dose. And I did on Friday night. I only slept 6 hours Friday but was feeling quite a bit better yesterday. I took the meds again last night and I slept 8.5 hours last night! I feel back to my normal self today, thank goodness.
I'm going to prep some food for the freezer that we will take camping next weekend. As I sat down to make my grocery list this morning I realized that most of the food I planned will actually be fresh. So not a huge amount of prep today. Although I am thinking of taking Friday off work too to prep the fresh food, make cowboy cookies, etc. The rest of today I'll just spend reading and crocheting. I am like in the middle of two books and I'd like to take them back to the library before we go camping.
Tonight I will probably make some potato soup. Jeremy said he was craving it.
Have a good and relaxing day everyone. I'm planning to have a nice one.

jeremysgirl, I'm so glad that you are feeling better. Now you can enjoy the final week before your vacation. I feel like I caught a new cold. What fresh hell is this? I know that this is probably just part of what has been going on, but it's annoying. Tuesday is the one month anniversary of this stupid thing. Dh and I were gonna do a mini localish getaway this week for 3 days, since it's his last week of sabbatical, but we're both not feeling up to any of it. So, I'm disappointed and I'm sure he is, too. It's football for dh this am and I'll watch while resting, again. He's up and around doing stuff, but I'm still too tired. He is making a pizza for his dinner. Dough has been resting on the counter and he's looking fwd to dinner, since he hasn't made a pizza in ages. Enjoy today, my tribe.

I’m so sorry you had such a rough week jeremysgirl. I had been wondering if things were ok but then I saw you were posting on the crafting thread. I’ll admit, I creep on that thread. I have nothing to contribute but I love to see all the crafty things! There is so much talent over there. Happy to hear you are feeling better!

Glad to hear you're doing better jeremysgirl - hope you can catch up on some sleep! We went for a long hike with the puppy this morning and other than grocery shopping, don't have a whole lot else on my agenda. Will FT the kids later and it'll be nice to hear how they're settling in. Homemade pizza for dinner - yum!

jeremysgirl , I'm glad you're back to your old self. Why did she decrease your meds? scrapmaven , this has been going on too long. I hope you start feeling better soon. I'm sorry y'all are going to miss your mini-getaway. bklyngal62 , I'm glad y'all made it safely to Texas. DS couldn't believe the humidity when he was there for a business trip. We walked this morning and DH will be watching the 9ers this morning. He was in a panic when our newspaper headline stated that our area would be blacked out. I calmed him down by saying it was Direct TV customers not Comcast. That's why we pay the big bucks. Dinner will be spaghetti and meatballs.

cadoodlebug she added a new med about two months ago because my meds weren't working well enough. The theory was that since the new med was working we could try to wean me off meds that weren't working well enough. This might be just temporary until I have my next appointment with her. She may still choose to decrease and increase the new med instead.

jeremysgirl - I hope you get your meds sorted soon. I’m glad you have been able to get some decent sleep last night. scrapmaven - boo for viruses that don’t know when they have outstayed their welcome. DS messaged about an hour ago to say his plane was pushing back from the gate on time. I’ll be asleep when he gets to his first layover, but should hear from him late morning tomorrow when he gets to Dubai.

Hi Everyone, leannec Have fun with your Mum at Denny’s and at dinner. Those kitties are adorable. I am torn whether I could eat them or not. Maybe if I mush them; so they aren’t so cute. sueg Your family chat sounds like so much fun! Sophia is just to cute. stormsts Good for you, getting your shopping done early. I hope that your DH and DS get the dirt put down for the landscaping. jeremysgirl I am so glad that you are feeling better. I hope that you get caught up with your sleep. scrapmaven No! I am sorry that you now feel like you have a cold. You and your DH have been sick to long. And I am sorry that you are missing out on a getaway. Darcy Collins Your hike with the puppy sounds lovely and getting your grocery shopping done is always a good thing. bklyngal62 Congratulations on moving to Texas! I am so glad that you enjoyed breakfast with your mom and sisters. hutchfan Have fun watching the Bengals. Your food sounds delicious. cadoodlebug If we lived there, we wouldn’t be able to watch the niners because we had Direct TV. I hope he enjoys watching the game. Your dinner sounds great. Today I am doing the usual. I have a load of laundry to fold and my small meals. I am trying to figure out what I want to watch on Netflix or Amazon Prime today. Any suggestions?

DH and I had an amazing meal at our friends house last night. We ate grilled scallops wrapped in bacon, grilled ribs, baked beans and spinach salad. My Dairy Queen pizza for dessert was delicious.
DH went to a car show this morning with my brother. I used that time to putter around the house. I seriously haven’t done anything productive all day. The weather is cool and cloudy. The bees and mosquitoes make it impossible to sit outside.
I need to switch my summer clothes for fall/winter clothes. I’m afraid that not much will fit but at least I can make an inventory of what I need to buy.
Tomorrow I turn 58 years old! How did that happen so quickly??
Supper tonight is unknown as of right now.

destined2bmom , I just finished Painkiller on Netflix. It's a limited series about Richard Sackler/Purdue who manufactured Oxycontin. It's well acted and compelling. Enjoy whatever you choose to watch. taylortroop , Happy Pre-Birthday! I'm older than you, but I also understand that 58 is daunting, cause that big number is lurking. Just enjoy your birthday and celebrate for as long as you can. Dinner last night sounds delicious. sueg , thank you so much. This has to exit the building at some point. ARGH! Wishing your ds easy flights and I hope he'll be able to sleep well on the aircrafts.
ntsf, you sound tired, my dear. Did you at least enjoy the getaway?

scrapmaven ugh! I'm so sorry you are getting another round of ick! jeremysgirl glad you are feeling better!! I'm so sorry you had such an awful week. Sleep is so critical. Your doctor sounds very responsive. bklyngal62 wishing you well in Texas! Had a rough night of sleep which leaves me in pain and cranky. I'm trying to get back to healthy eating and struggling with it. Tonight I will make chili.

Whew! Just had a busy afternoon. scrapmaven I cannot believe you think you are getting hit with a second round of illness. Geez. Talk about having the absolute worst luck. I can't believe you've been down for a month too. bklyngal62 seriously it is 65 here today and I was in Home Depot in a T-shirt and shorts and I swear I was roasting. I couldn't handle Texas. But you'll be smiling in January. Thank you all for the well wishes. I was feeling great for the past two months too. I take four different meds to handle my bipolar and I feel like a walking pharmacy. I just want to be able to swallow one pill and that be it. So apparently I'm delusional. Haha... After a week like this, I'm like, I swear I'll take anything.

Watching the Cincinnati Bengals today!🧡🐅🖤🐯 Me too! Go Joe! They’re trying to confirm his engagement until then you can get a sad girl shot in cinci for .9. 😂. Dd is going back for homecoming and they’re all hoping it’s still unconfirmed. There is a limit of 1 per person. bklyngal62 does all your family live in Texas? scrapmaven that sucks for you. I hate that you missed your mini get away. jeremysgirl 🤞🏻your sleep stays on track My sister was here yesterday and filled me in on my other siblings issues. The most pressing being my brother needing personal security because he’s the union president and a member attacked him after a meeting. He waited by his truck and jumped him. My brother is 6ft and maybe 150 lbs. he’s super thin. Always has been. After the guy got his first punch in my brother beat him to a pulp. He was in the marines. My mom would be sick if she were alive. Not sure on dinner yet. We went to a specialty suit shop/tailor so dh could buy a suit for DD’s wedding. Their site said no appointment necessary to look or if you were t getting fully custom. Dh is sick of brooks brothers so he wanted to try this. Today every student athlete from OSU was there it seemed like. An off the rack suit starts at $500 not including any alterations. That’s only for the most basic black or navy. How do college kids afford this? There were no parents with them. The girl said 45 were coming in today. I bet the university is paying which is annoying. Anyways since we were in that neighborhood we had late lunch. So dinner will probably be some type of grilled chicken salad. I am still car-less because Ford corporate is still dragging their feet on a rental. It’s not my fault they can’t produce parts. Especially ones that you cannot drive without.

There is a limit of 1 per person. I saw the announcement on Facebook but won't believe it until it is confirmed. I like guys who have made it big (think golfer Jordan Spieth) and marry their high school sweetheart. Today every student athlete from OSU was there it seemed like. I'm pretty sure most athletic departments buy their players a suit to wear. Some of these kids have never owned a suit. Our athletic department pays for them which I have no problem with. The athletic department also gives the university millions of dollars each year to help pay for things like professor's salaries and perks for the average non-athlete student.

Just had rechauffe from yesterday’s party for lunch. Probably will have chocolate cake for dinner again. scrapmaven, I’m so sorry you have to miss your mini getaway and you’re still (or again) feeling crappy. jeremysgirl, ugh on the medication situation, but I’m glad the doctor upped your dose for now. Good luck. bklyngal62, welcome to your new home. I’m sorry it’s so damn hot, but it’s nice to be close to your family. taylortroop, wishing you an early happy birthday! ntsf, now that you’re home from all (?) your travels, I want to try to get together again, maybe in October? Marina, I hope you sleep better tonight.
