Mindless Thursday chatter

DH got home last night.  I'm so happy to have him back.  I sleep so much better with him in bed with me.  Although, we didn't sleep much last night!

I ran Brutus by the vet's this morning.  He's gained 6 pounds in the past week.  I was thrilled about that.

Off to VS website.  I feel the urge to shop!

Amanda, the sale started yesterday for VS cardholders, but for everyone else, it starts Friday, so if you aren't a VS holder, the super sale stuff might not show up yet.  Just FYI.

I have so much planned this weekend and don't know how I will do it all!  I started painting the furniture in my SD's room last weekend.  I am painting it all black, rearranging and got a new bedspread even though the one she had was just from last summer.  We painted the walls lime green for her before Christmas and ever since it has looked really ghetto to us b/c she also had a yellow bedspread.  So I am painting all of the furniture black and got a cool black and white bedspread and think it will look great with the lime green walls and be more teenage looking anyway than the bedspread she picked out. 

Then on Sunday my aunt and cousin and I, along with Devin are all meeting in Waco to go see my 98 year old step grandmother.  She hasn't met Devin yet and isn't in very good health anymore.  I know she will enjoy it and I am so excited to see my cousin too who lives in Austin.  Her mother died in January and ever since then, she has been stressed to the max dealing with all of the stuff that was left to deal with as well as her dad and his drinking and irresponsibility.  I think we are all looking really forward to meeting in Waco where there is nothing to deal with and we can just have a fun girls day.  And she will get to get some Devin lovin which she always loves!  We are going early to meet for lunch so I am hoping to find somewhere good right off of 35 where we can eat!

I really hope the pool is warm enough this weekend to take a dip!  I can't wait to take Devin swimming!  And to try her bikini on her!

Did I really say that I like it when we are super busy at work??!!   I'm ready for a break but no end in sight and it's only May.  Oy.  Thank goodness I can pop in here and get a little mental break, what did I do before I found this place? 

 Thank you all for the well wishes for my sister.  It isn't the reason I am in NY for a visit but I am glad I am here to spend some time with her.  She is exceptionally stubborn about things - I tried to talk with her this morning about some nutritional things she could do to help her liver and anemia but she wasn't for listening. It's hard not to recall she was like this as a kid LOL.  Hopefully when the immediate stress is over she will feel safer to consider more options.

It is cold and rainy here - going out in a bit to see my elderly aunt, then out to dinner tonight with mom and sister.  

Miss both DH & Bugsy already!

oh and I can't get gmail to load

Came in today to find a birthday card to me on my desk.  My b'day was a month ago and on a Sunday

That's just strange. Was it at least a belated birthday card?

I was in funk all last night worrying about Sassy and I could tell that DH was too. I doubt we'd feel so worried if we hadn't dealt with the devastation of cancer with our last dog. Part of me thinks there's just no way the news will be bad but the other part of me...well, that's the worrier part and so it's thinking of the worst case scenario. I've never even heard of cancer in the ear canal but then I'd never heard of nasal cancer either. Okay, must stop thinking about this or I'll never get anything done today.

Tomorrow is my ultrasound and I'm so glad to be getting it done. When I'm lying flat in bed, I can feel this creepy this mound and it bugs the crap out of me. It's not huge compared to what I've heard other women have had, but it's still creepy.

DH has a cold and is really run down from work. He works his 48 hr shift this weekend, then is in a class all week and then has to work the following Sat. 8 days straight, is going to be brutal for him. That last day is his BD too, but we're celebrating at his sister's the next day. I hope he feels up to it. I've asked him if there's anything he wants and he says he can't think of anything. That's not surprising since the minute he gets a twinkle in his eye for something, he buys it for himself. I was going to splurge and get him a Tommy Bahama shirt but I just couldn't bring myself to spend $125 on a shirt. Nice shirts but seriously - $125??

Cathy, it was a belated card.  I almost forgot you have your ultrasound tomorrow.  Good thoughts and vibes for the results, that it is something simple to remedy. 

Try sierratradingpost.com for clearance Tommy Bahama stuff.  I've gotten tons of deals from them, name brand, high quality, and no problems exchanging or returning items.

Karen, how can you stand being away from Bugsy?

Cathy good luck with the ultrasound.  As for the TB shirts you can also find them at Marshall's and TJMaxx.  I use STP for lots of stuff too and have had no issues.  You might even check Amazon

wow a Twitter search indicates that lots of people worldwide are having google product issues - I cannot log into any of my accounts - well I can't get them to load is the issue. I use gmail accounts for things like collecting my work emails and another account has all my work phone calls and I am stressssssssssssssssssssing

Think I'll eat some leftover pizza from last night.  There isn't much I miss about NY but the pizza I do!

Cathy, try not to stress over Sassy's tumor.  Chyna has had one removed from her ear canal.  The surgeon used a laser to do the surgery, & it was no big deal.

I ran farther than I ever have this morning at it was horrible. I wonder how Blacklabbie's stress fracture is?

It is soooo nice not being in school, and working nights. I get to hang around my house all day and get stuff done.

 Well I finally got all three POTC movies on my computer so I'm having a movie day! I also have Sweeny Todd but my computer needs a breather. Lol

Ugh black coffee.. Sigh.. Oh! On the 28th I get to have my legs and "other" area's waxed for the first time. YAY! Finally found a place here on the coast that does it and they offered me a discount because of the amount of work I'm having done!  Can't beat that!

I hope Karen's sissy and Kathy's Sassy are both OK :(

Me too!

I have Shingles.  Ugh!  This stuff hurts!  But, we caught it early and I'm on an antiviral medication.  Been taking Olive Leaf, but my DD told me about L-Lyisine which may be better.  If only I felt like going to the store.  The doctor also gave me Tylenol 3 for the pain...did I say how much this hurts.  OUCHIE!

I have Shingles.  Ugh! 

Oh man, I'm so sorry. My FIL had them a couple yrs ago and I saw how badly he was hurting. Didn't someone else on here have them recently? I know from having oral herpes (cold sores on my lips) that L-Lysine is supposed to help for both types of herpes. I hope you feel better soon.

Same thing happened to me a little while back and yes it HURTS!!  My doc did the same but she also put me on pred for a few days to limit the chance of some sort of complication.  Sorry, I am terrible about remembering medical jargon.  Mine were gone in three weeks and I feel it was because it was caught early and treated.  Sending you my strongest sympathy vibes and hoping you are better soon. 

I was going to post something else but whatever it was flew right out of my brain and into space.....

 eta: Cathy, I think Lori had/has them recently too.
