Guest guest Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 Thanks Diane. What are you doing up at this hour? It's 12:45 a.m. here in Florida, are you in California or something along that line by chance? Ellen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 California?  no..Sweet home..Chicago...cold but sweet. Actually I am usually up this late and later. I used to work the midnight shift before stills came along...it is 1145p.m.  here.  I went to sleep around 4am yesterday  but today I had such a bad headache and back ache I took 2 tylenol #3's and it eased it up a bit. Diane42 Thanks Diane. What are you doing up at this hour? It's 12:45 a.m. here in Florida, are you in California or something along that line by chance?

Guest guest Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 We've had a cold snap here. It was rather funny to see people walking around in their fur coats when it's 54 degrees out. I'm still wearing my short sleeved uniform for work. I've had to up my pred to 20 mgs, as well take a total of 40 mgs of hydrocodone plus three ibuprofen 800s before going to bed. I still woke up in pain. I'm going to head back to bed though and give it another try. I've heard Chicago weather can be brutal, more so than what we used to get in NY. I hope you're staying warm enough and feeling as well as you can. Take care and be well. Ellen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 Ellen, 54*?? is a cold snap???  lol  why that is swimming weather here! It is supposed to warm up to the mid 50's on Sunday...we never know here in Chicago..one day it is 20* the next could be 75* Chicago weather can be brutal  there were days when we used to bring the car battery inside the apartment (no garage) and then before work the next morning put it back in just so the car would start..and there were days that the snow was so high in drifts you could walk 'over' the fence...but worse than N.Y.?  I am not sure about that...they always seem to have it bad... I hope you read this in the morning because that means you had a good nights sleep. Diane42 We've had a cold snap here.

Guest guest Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 Good morning Diane! A good night's sleep? It was fitful as always but once it warms up a bit I'll probably get a little more sleep. Even my son was up last night. Of course he blamed it on me. I MADE him go to bed " early " . I'm trying to help him get back into the school schedule sleep pattern so I told him to be in bed no later than 10:30. At 11:00 he was still up typing on his computer, by 11:30 I insisted he go to bed. That's why the work " made " is in caps. I have to admit I don't miss the incredibly cold weather but I do miss the look of snow. I also miss the mountains; Florida is so flat and without character to the landscape. What I find really funny here, though, is the fact that woman are pulling out their fur coats and wearing them around town when the slightest chill hits. Around here anything under 70* is considered chilly. So, tell me, did you sleep well? Are you warm enough? Do I need to make a pot of homemade chicken soup? I follow Grandma Meril's recipe (you wouldn't believe what she would put in the soup), and it comes out perfect every time, if I do say so myself. As a matter of fact, one of my co-workers was sick with a cold, I brought him enough soup to last a week (I make a huge pot of it) and he says he got better because of it. True or not I don't know but it was nice to hear. Dogs are begging to go out. Talk with later on. Take care and be well. Ellen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 5, 2008 Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 Hi Ellen..   Hope all is well today..Right now i am sitting at the dining room table with my laptop and my husband (Chuck) is making breakfast...mmmmm  I can smell the bacon ..I also have a honey dew coming... Yes, I remember the days when I would try to get the kids to bed early for school...lol  It always seemed that first day back was the roughest...(for me) I sure miss them...I have 2 kids and they are both married...one with an 18 month girl  (cutest baby if I can say so myself ) They are all out in Oregon...BEAUTIFUL!!  Why do I stay here???  NUTS!!  We slept well  i close the door to the bedroom after having a small space heater in there and it keeps it nice and cozy all night...so do the comforters and blankets..Today it is 42* out so we are having a warm spell....maybe you will see Chicagoans on the news with this warm weather  lol However, that pot of homemade chicken soup sounds good...whats the recipe?? maybe I will make chili for supper tonight...or wait till Monday when it is supposed to get cold again  we will see. Breakfast is ready  got to go!!  Chat later me..42 Re: Faith? Good morning Diane! A good night's sleep? It was fitful as always but once it warms up a bit I'll probably get a little more sleep.

Guest guest Posted January 7, 2008 Report Share Posted January 7, 2008 Good morning Diane! is getting ready for work, Rubin is still sleeping, I'm going to take the dogs out soon, have my coffee and take my pills. I'm actually enjoying our weather, believe it or not. It's been raining on and off for the last three days. It's somewhat annoying, causes a great deal of pain in me, people in general, are grumpy but still I don't mind the rain. Odd. and I went to the farmers market yesterday after I came home from work. Picked up some fresh (and cheap) fruits but the veggies just didn't do it for me this week so I'll get those tonight before I leave work. Now if you'll excuse me, I have got to take pills. The pain I'm sitting with is a little much to bare and once my son is awake enough I'm taking him shopping for some new sneakers (I hate shopping!). I'm hoping to get on the computer again before I go to work but I can't make promises. Take care and be well. Ellen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 7, 2008 Report Share Posted January 7, 2008 Hey, just a thought for those looking for deals....my wife works at JC Penneys one day per week as a beautician. That gets her a discount card, and when they have their sales & employee days is when I buy my shoes & such...I bought at least 5 pairs of sneakers over the last 6-7 years that would have cost upwards of $100 (or higher) but never paid more than $35.00. Just pick out the discontinued items on those sale days and you're set. All you have to do is find a friend that works there. Good, quality stuff available cheap! Hell, I bout a pair of Sketchers (retail towards $90.00 and got them for $17.00!!! I have to spend like that, but even if I didn't I would...money was always too hard to earn & too easily spent!
