Hello Hello Hello....

The sun is shinning bright this morning and the temp is... 32 Above... and wind chill is 20 above.. Yahoo.. We can handle anything that is ABOVE..... Calling for high winds today...

For the new folks... Sending you a huge WELCOME to the board.....  I am so sorry that chronic pain has brought you here.. but it's wonderful to know you are not alone.....

My Mini Vacation was wonderful... Our big day of shopping was cut short.. it was just too Busy and too many people. But, I did end up with a really nice "wolverine vest" and that made my day.. Also three bags of the famous nuts from Cabals.. Yummy.. two bags of pecans and one almond...

Of course, I ate very well.. two days of Prim Rib and one night of crap legs... My pants were telling me I ate way too much good food... ha ha ha.....

Hubby and I had a extra good time together.. we both were just relaxed and enjoyed the night out on the town... ha, we were back to our Motel room by 10. "old age"..... but this was a Needed get-away.......

I will see my Dr on Tue and I hope we can get me "set up" for my cpap mach... before the 1st of the year....

Becky... Thank You so much for sharing the soup recipe.. it sounds wonderful and I 'm going to get the things for it today at the grocery store...

Sounds like you had a wonderful and calm ch eve and day...  turkey enchiladas sound way good..

Hubby is still on cloud 9 about his big winnings... he was telling anyone and everyone he talked to about it... the guy at the other Sports Store was patting him on the back... Men or SO FUNNY......

Hope the weekend is being kind to your "body".... and you are finding some down time for YOU.. HUG HUG HUG......

Carol... I'm so excited that the trip to the new Dr' s went so Wonderful.. I just giggle thinking of the boxer shorts.. too funny....

But how wonderful you and hubby both feel "good" about this new Dr and place.. This is good news!!

I just have to SMILE.. everyone of us on the board are such huge animal lovers.. there is something here!!!!  It's so great Hubby is taking care of that poor cat... ahhhhhh...... HUG HUG HUG.................

Prof..... Oh... not Sleeping is Not Good.... Do you think maybe trying some am-bin or a relaxer might do the trick????? Just know I am so feeling for you.... this just makes the Days too long and the "fog" is not a good place to be in......

This should make you SMILE.... Of course, we were home about 10 minutes and Hubby was feeling for the horses next door.. he had cubes in the back of his truck.. so he just drove over to the fence and got out and gave them the half  bag of cubes....

When he turned around to get back in the truck.... the neighbor was standing on his porch and was hollering at hubby..... "I feed them horses hay"...... And Hubby yelled back and told him.. "what the %^$$ are you &*^%**^ about... this feed is not coming out of your pocket" and hubby had both hands up in the air......... so Hubby stood there and waiting for big mouth to say something else...... Nothing....... So he got back in the truck and came home............

I am so glad big mouth did not say anything else.. Oh.. hubby is just itching to put his head in a pile of horse poop....... ha ha ha.....

Speaking of hubby... he's ready to run to town and do some grocery shopping.. so that means I need to make a List..... Sending you many but easy hugs..........

Okay...  need to take care of hubby here....

Sending All My LOVE and HOPE and HUGS..... Diana

Good Morning Everyone

Of course, I have not made the "time" to try the new thing here.. I 'm a little worried.. but good thing, when I have had problems.. the "help people' on the Site are really good and they 'talk" to me in SLOW words.. ha ha ha....... I remind them that I am slow at this computer thing.....

Heat wave this morning, were at 17 above......

The hair on the back of my neck stood up when Becky was talking about driving on ICE... UGGGG,,, nothing worse.....

We are still looking at some snow this week and high winds, which means LOW TEMPS..... wow, I think we are still trying to come out of this last "deep-freeze" we just had......

Mom's new trailer is looking So Cute.... Oh, the kitchen is my favorite... I need to get over there and help with the top cupboards in the kitchen and one bathroom is left.....

Grandma that I take care of,... had a bad day last week.. well, she did not do well while I was gone.. she's on Oxygen as we speak now.... poor Girl... So I'm heading over there this morning to see what's going on.

She thinks it's her Asama kicking up... I don't know.. but we will see what's going on.... that waking up and not being able to breath  is not good.....

I was heading to my Welders house today, but he has pluming problems going on and wants the guy to see the saw dust in the bottom of his tubs... yik........

I'm sitting her looking like "orphan Annie or Shirley Temple"... I was bored yesterday and decided to throw my hair in some curlers.. WOW....  it SCARED me when I took them out first thing this morning... HA HA HA... So now sure what I'm going to do with it now?????????

Well, the "kids" are still out of school for another week... I just can not believe we are so Close to 2009..

One of my friends is having a party in her new family room... so I guess I will go there for a few hrs the 31st.... I just Hate being on the roads at all on that day or night... it's not Me I'm worried about,.....

Okay... Wishing Everyone a Wonderful Monday.......

All My Love and Hope and HUGS... Love Dianah

Just kinda board.. or the truth.. not wanting to go in the kitchen and do those dishes... ha ha.....

Becky.. We have the winds, but no snow.. I guess Wed night it should hit and a little on Thur morning.. But we are under a "dust alert" due to the wind blowing so hard....

HA HA HA... kids are home and driving Mom Nuts... Oh, I remember those days... and to cold to go outside and blow off some energy........

Hope John makes it home safe and sound......

HUG HUG HUG....

Okay.. what about the rest of you Wild Ones out there..

I ran back to Grandma's at 4:40 and made dinner and finished a load of cloths and did a few dishes and we watched O-Really show.. pretty funny tonight....

Have baby back ribs and cheddar mashed potato's ready for dinner.. thought I would eat with hubby, since it's only 20 more minutes until he's home.....

I sure hope Sleep is the word going on tonight, for everyone.... Grandma's Niece is spending the night with her tonight... so that's good on my end.....

Okay.. Hope for everyone to get some good Zzzzzzz's ... Good Night.. Love Diana

Good Afternoon

No Dr Phil this afternoon, Football is on... Ugggggg......

I had a phone call at 6:10 this morning and it was Grandma's Daughter and Grandma was ready to go to the Hospital.. her breathing was not good and a ton of pressure....

So I was off and running on only 1 cup of coffee.. not good... But, she has fluid on her lung and they went ahead and admitted her in to the hospital.. WHEW-WW... I was glad and Daughter's were glad... So I was relived at 1 this afternoon and ran to the pharmacy and home....

Did dishes, started laundry, making a beef pot-pie for dinner and going to pick up the living room here in a minute and start on another load of laundry and take a bath and Mom and I will eat at 6 and watch Nancy Grace.....

I'm staying HOME tonight.. was invited to a party, but this old Girl is Wore Out and Stressed Out.. and TIRED......

Did not get my cpap mach.. Ins is messing around... Ugggg... I was so excited to start on it.. maybe Friday.....

Becky... Sorry u were feeling alone... But glad the kids are not killing each other today... and glad you are staying home and being "safe"/... ha, our weather is nice... 42 above and only 23 mph winds... but calling for snow tonight...

I'm having a really hard time on the new board.. I did find YOU..... but not sure where I am at....

Enjoy your calm and quiet evening... HUG HUG HUG.....

Carol... I'm so sorry the surgery was canceled, but in the same breath, so glad the Dr is So On Top of Things.. that's Wonderful....

And I'm sorry you had a melt-down today.. but maybe your body needed to let some of the Stress out... So I'm hoping you are feeling much better now.....

Enjoy the Evening.. Be Safe... HUG HUG HUG

PROF... I knew you had an apt on Tue... So... what was the bottom line with this new Dr.??? Did you like her or not??????

How often do you have to go to this one???? I'm thinking every two weeks???

What's on the menu for the next two days??? anything good????

I wanted steak tonight, but too tired and lazy to run into the store this afternoon and town was crazy.. I had to do the drive up at the pharmacy.. and that was enough.. So making beef pot pie... pretty easy....

Thank-goodness, Grandma has a good lunch at the hospital today.. lasagna-mixed veggies and salad and choc fluff.. So she was a happy camper.....

I bet the trip out yesterday, wore you out......

I was getting ready to leave at 4:30 yesterday  but had to run over to Mom's and I asked her if she wanted to babysit the dog while I was gone. she said yes... So on my way home, I was talking to my friend in TX and I pulled up to Moms' and told her.. "wait just a minute, I have to pick the dog up from Grandma's"... when I came back and put the dog in the car. My Friend was Laughing So Hard... she said she never thought I would be dropping off a dog, at my Moms' to be "babysat"... we laughed for a good 5 minutes about it....

Oh, I can't wait for this cpap mach and see if it's going to help me feel better here... I'm so tired of being tired, I could just scream.......

Hey, You and Wild Man try to behave tonight..... I need to run and feed the horses and then a bath and throw dinner in the oven....

Hope the ZZZzzzz thing is going on for you... (fingers crossed)... HUG HUG HUG.....

Okay Everyone.......

Be Safe tonight and will talk to you all next year...... All my Love and Hope....... Diana

Good Morning and so nice to be having coffee with all of you this Brand New Year....

Happy to report, it's Snowing, side-ways this moring.. yes, wind is blowing... but it's 23 above.. wind at 10 and wind chill at 12 Above.....

I did not stay awake to see the Ball Fall.. but I'm sure it did fine with out me this year...

I'm working on putting hot rollers in my hair and only have enough clips to do one section at a time and I have three... hope you got that... so every new cup of coffee, I put in a new section of curlers......

I'm spending the New Year at the Hosptial.... well, at least half of the day.... Daughter was kinda nerved out yesterday and Grandma had forgot her glass's at home and WANTED me to go them NOW... So daughter was like..
"should she be left alone??" and I was like, she's not alone.. she has one Nurse and two CNA's.. and she's right across from the nurses station.. Could not get any closer unless we put her in the Hall........

So I smiles and said she's FINE.... I think the Tired is starting to get to my nerves.... YIKES............

I do know, that I am Not Cut out to be a Full TIme Caregiver.. the stress and work is too much for me... It's good to know Now... but I do think we will have to bring in a Homehealth Care help, soon.....Her Dr has been concered for a while about her being alone at night.. So, I think it's getting close.....

Prof....Hi there.. Sounds like the "tired" is starting to nerve you out a little... Remeber, if you can't say anything nice.. just bit your lip... ha ha ha

Hey, phone ringing... I'll be back... Diana

Okay... I went to your Diary... nothing.. went to mine, nothing

So... PLEASE help me here.... Now you know... SPEAK SLOW to me....... If you could give me a little step by step HELP... starting from A to Z... on how I do this.... UGGGGGGGG......

I'm starting to understand that saying... "trying to teach an old dog new tricks"..... I GET IT NOW........

Grandma gets out today from the hospital.. yeah.. and she's feeling much better... Yeah.....

I'm hoping the CPAP place is open today and I can get going here.. today.... they are out of reg mach, but said they would send me home with a travel pack... does the same thing... it will be a least a week before they get more in.....

I also need to run and get my new cell phone hooked up today.. My number 9 will not work.. that's not a good one to have burned out....

Hubby is starting is 7 days off today.. Wow, Mom's been in her new place almost a month now... time has flown by fast.....

Before I pick up Grandma.. need to run to her house and back her car out.. (her heater is not working) and grab her snow boots... and then can go get her.. I want to be able to just drive in the garage and get her out from there... that way we are not trying to walk over the ICE and SNOW.......

Then I have Jury Duty on Monday.. YIKES.... I am so behind with all my other customers....

Also need to pick up some more hay cubes today..

Also, not sure if I told you I had an x-ray of my sinus on Tue??? Well, Dr called in a pretty good med for me.. I take two in the morning with food and two at dinner time for 14 days.... Okay.. nothing to it... But the Pharmacists had to talk to me and told me this WILL give me the RUNS........... oh great....

So I have Not started it with Grandma being sick and not sure what's going on with her.... Only so much I can do at one time... ha ha ha.......

Grandma's Daughter was showing us pictures yesterday of her Daughter's Ranch in CO.... OH PROF... this place is so BEAUTIFUL.. and of course has a story behind it also.....

This ranch is 2000 acres.. the Orig house they have remodeled and it's amazing what they have done to it... parts are done in Western and one of the guest rooms is done all in Indian stuff..

The master bed-room has a buffalo hide on the bed...  In the dinning room, she has a cow hide on the floor as a rug... the kitchen has the old metal squares as the ceiling.... HA, Home and Garden has nothing on this one......

The orig owners were sheep ranchers with 10 kids. The Father passed away and the Mother raised all those kids all a lone on this ranch. But.. she did not have water.. so the sheep were not many.. I just can not image raising 10 kids alone.. but she did it.....

They took the old grain building and made it into a guest/hunters lodge... now he has a old shed that was insulated with news papers dated back to the 1800's and I forgot what he's going to do with this shed.. but I know it's going to be amazing....

They have two cats and one is deaf,, she is white and black spots.. so she's an inside cat only. Two dogs, two goats and horses. And they also run cows........

Right along the house and guest house is this HUGE ridge of rocks and it runs all the way up to their huge mountain of all pine trees... very cool....... they also have three huge meadows that run in a Plato with each other......

They kids, well their my age.. ha ha ha.. work for a Dr that has a ranch a 100 miles away from their place and they work all summer for the Dr and then they bring the Dr's horses home with them in the winter and take care of them and get to stay home and do their thing all winter long....

I'm telling you.. this is the way to live........

Okay... I have to start to think about starting to RUN here for the day....

The coffee seems extra hot this morning.....

Thanks for HELPING ME GET ON THE RIGHT TRACK HERE....

Happy Friday..... Hugs and All My Love..... Diana

Good Morning Everyone

As you can see, this girl is having major problems trying to figure out this new site.... I'm about to start pulling my hair out....

It's 41 above this morning, but the WIND is blowing hard.... snow on the ground, but some spots are bare and others are a pretty good drift... ha ha ha.... just depends on were the winds stacks the snow.

Our 4-wheeler with the blade on the front, is in the shop getting fixed.. so fingers crossed we don't get nailed with snow..... that's the only way we can move it......

Okay... I just wanted to say Good Morning and let you know I' m thinking of each and everyone of you...

Sending Hugs and Hope for today.... Love Dianah
