hello... Yes I think I am back to the land of the living... still reading 100 degree temp but mobile now. I had never seen 104.6 temp in my entire sick life but last Saturday. And the worst part was there is nothing you can do but to ride the piggy fly. the best advice I got was from Ate Cora, drink airborne every 3 hours to break the flu and it did... wish I called her sooner!!! And how did I know I was really sick ??? I crank the heat up all the way to 80 and still cold. Hopefully I am ready to rid this piggy flu... all the food I prepare, shows I planned to watched were untouched. I hate Pigs!!!!
So if you ever encounter the Piggy flu...
hydrate... force yourself to drink..
airborne... every 3hours...
tylenol 650.... every 4 hours...
tamiflu... however your doctor prescribed it...
club soda... the bitterness reminds you you are still alive...lol
chamomile tea and honey... knocks you out
I wouldnt even wish this Piggy Flu to my worst enemy.... its that bad...
Take care...

hello...
Hope all is well with everybody... have not been updating... no PC at home... and Camera Phone is not working as it is supposed to.
The date with the Knife is back on for December. Not sure what they plan to take out but it is really happening...
Mom is doing Ok so that is one thing I am very thankful about.
The leaves are now changing and N1H1 is causing havoc in the neighborhood.
Have a safe Fall Holidays.

exactly 10 years ago...
As I was putting back all the stuff in the laundry cabinet. The vent needed repair and boy that was unexpected. $85 for the materials and $500 for the labor since they had to bring all these big heavy equipment to bore a hole in the wall. Not a happy camper right now but after contemplating how broke I was LOL I found this note. It was a note written by my dad 10 years ago. How crazy is that. Exactly 10 years ago and I found it yesterday!!! The very same date.
For the past few days/weeks I was wonderign if I was the only one who really have nothing to blog about. Life has been trekking slowly. They said once you are down there is no where to go but up... but I have been down here for awhile now.. still waiting and ready to go up...
Autumn is here soon it will be winter... Maybe by the year's end things will be looking up. I will be out of commision again for an upcoming surgery. Never get old !! Try to avoid it, by the time you reach that certain age everything needs repair! LOL

I can do it... I can do it... I can do it...
God grant me the serenity
To accept the things I cannot change;
Courage to change the things I can;
And wisdom to know the difference.
Living one day at a time;
Enjoying one moment at a time;
Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace;
Taking, as He did, this sinful world
As it is, not as I would have it;
Trusting that He will make all things right
If I surrender to His Will;
So that I may be reasonably happy in this life
And supremely happy with Him
Forever and ever in the next.

Updates...
Hmmm this used to be a happening spot so I thought. Not much going on here in Pa. Just in between check ups. looking a few post back I had undergone myomectomy and it was a success. But now due to recurrence of the fibroid we are looking at an alternate method. This may be it!!! LOL Really dont want to go through another major surgeries the bills wont let me so hopefully we can find an easier solution which will not need more than 2 weeks of recupperation!
Mom is doing OK, just had an episode 2 weeks ago and thank God she is now OK. Still no major vacation planned hopefully by the time mom gets here again in October(that is if she dont changed her mind again and if you have Northwest Miles that you dont need donate it my way!!!Hugss)
Creative scheduling is the focus at work right now. We work when we are needed and we are sent home when we are not. I guess we dont have room to complain since we still have a place for employment. I just hope and pray that soon this will be over.
Turning green... so far I have seen fruits of my labor. No more bottled water turned to Purr and a reusable bottle to bring with me. Shops at the local produce to buy veggies. Does not hoard chicken and beef in the fridge. Everything were pulled out of the wall sucket and only the one lamp is plug in... for emergency purposes.
Again... it was all good.
Sink is still broke.. so what is new...
AC still broke thank God for cooler weather...
Bill collectors still busy calling... I am working on it I swear!
Check up appointments... on hold...
But the best part of all these.. is I have a Mother who loves me for who I am. New found friends (may it be few) who supports and understand and a job I still go to everytime they need me.
There are alot of blessings to thank for.
~ Saturday we had the funeral for Francis D. my co workers husband. Please continue including Denise in your prayers. Now she needs strenght to face what tomorrow brings for her. Hopefully with good friends supporting her she will come out of this dark cloud OK.
~ Also include in your prayers for Hal (a family friend of Sha ) and his Family for strenght also and peace in their hearts.
~ Sha Thank you for all your support, it means alot!
Be well.. Be Safe...

Finally am connected again!!!
Yikes!! Due to an avoidable circumstances"faint" I was not connected for a couple of days and boy that was an ugly sight. Well now I am back let's see how long this last.
Today is my Uncle Ely's birthday.
The past few days was a "unexpected". For some reason it felt like it finally hit me about my dad and uncle which taught me a lesson... to take that day off. They say it gets better... I hope they know what they are talking about.
Nothing much to blog... life has been going.. still going... that's about it. Weather has been kind, no heat wave yet just plain gloominess in Pa.
Wishing everyone a safe Holiday.

random thoughts about...
The Weekend....
- what does it means??? you can't find anybody at home anymore... everybody's scrambling to go to work... if not working then it is for chores... forgotten chores... crazy chores... never ending chores...
- a time to have an excuse to drink and get hammered...
- a time where it can leave you depressed by the time it is over...
Perspective and direction...
- never take for granted "security"... make sure you put yourself first when it comes to security... dont let anything get in the way of your security not even love. What is love without security.
Regret...
- learn to accept it is OK to be sad and not be mad... what else can you do... shit happens!!!
- at one point you have bacon... now that you have nothing be thankful that at one point you know what a bacon taste like!!!
Bills...
- you toss and turn at night and morning comes... all you get are eyebags would be better if its money bags...
On thoughts...
- it will never have any rhyme no reasons! Never! Whats the next best thing to do??? Nothing...
Friends and Family...
- always have a moment to pray for a complete stranger. (Please include my friend Joe and his family in your thoughts today, To give his family strenght to face whatever health issues come their way.)
- pray for those who had pass... that they maybe in peace whereever they are, when you see a funeral parlor.. say a little prayer to those who had ones been a guest. To my dad who will be celebrating his one year of passing on June 23,2009. May he rest in peace.
- pray for your least favorite person, may it be your neighbor, your boss or the clerk at the drive through. They have problems too.
Have a Safe Weekend.... and Start Cutting Coupons!!!

random thoughts about vacations... how can we take one in this crazy econony...
- using coupons on your everyday shopping, you must know this already if you do then it is just a reminder. This days I don't buy anything without a coupon. And what ever the amount I save from coupons I still take it out of my debit card and deposit that in a savings account. Yes me... can you believe it I opened my 1st saving account.. not really opening since it is a benefit along side my checking acct. I am so thankful that I don't have the need to buy the Sunday news paper since everybody at work buys the news paper and we have a coupon drive ( a bin where everybody throws in there unwanted coupon) and every Monday I get to see what is there. Friends who knows me knows that I eat junk LOL which means most of the left over coupons are junk... Yey for me...
- buying no frills product... they are more improved than the new frills 10 years ago Thank God! Even Ibuprofen now taste and works the same (or maybe that is how one thinks and feels when they are broke LOL).
- the best part looking for bargains for vacation online... right now WDW is giving the free dining if you book by June 21st for 3 nights or more. Yes it does sound great... but I think this is beneficial for a family of 2 or more. IF you are traveling solo then you are paying regular room rates to get the free dining. Need to compare rates which is better... look for discounts like AAA, AP and pay for the room and just shop for food and also their is that avenue of renting points/timeshare week share.
- shed all unwanted expenses... don't rent a car (which I always do and next time I go when I go "sigh" I will def'ly learn the bus system thoroughly!)
- friends sometimes ask you what do you want for your bday, Xmas etc... don't hesitate to tell them what you prefer. I am sure not a lot of us know what to buy for gifts but instead hand them a gift card. In my opinion which you don't have to agree on... I prefer giving my friends "practical gift" cards like Starbucks(am working on giving this up but for now lets add to the practical list "guilty", Target, Walmart, Home Depot or for the grocery market near their area. Rather than buying them Red Lobsters and or any other restaurant chain. But then that is just me( plus I have missed so much occasion from my friends lives that all they have been getting are home made arts and crafts gifts and text messages... thank you for patience...).
- and last random thought for today... being broke gives you an excuse to go on a diet hahahaha
Have a good week!!!

April... came and went....
Random thoughts....
~ my deepest sympathy to the San Juan family... I am so sorry I will not make it Saturday (again!) but your family is in my thoughts and prayers...
~ I aged... I feel the aging process is catching up with me... aches and pains... stiff joints.. so what else is in store for me when I turn the big 40 ??? I am not looking forward to it...
~ mom is back home... still adjusting with everything... why can't I win the lottery... things will get in order and yes I will still have problems but atleast the finacial part will not be one of them... maybe the main problem will just be hmmm how to stay healthy ???
~ I am very thankful though... even though I know it feels like the weight of the whole basket is resting on my shoulder... someones shoulder has a bigger basket to "shoulder"... may they find the strength to face whatever kind of apples get thrown their way...
~ I thank God that I still have a job... our EMR is getting slower everyday... I hope and pray that the private and government sector finds a way to jump start our economy... if they dont have a job... there will be no benefits... if there will be no benefits nobody will have health insurances... if there is no health insurance we dont have anybody to do test on... then everybody will not have anything to do...
~ I think I am going to end up working on Memorial Day again... no I am not complaining just stating the facts...
~ Thankful that I found friends who are patient enough to hang out with me whenever I find it possible to hang out...
~ car needs to go for its check up... eventually...
Have a Great Day... and remember... always have a post it... you might not be able to remember thigns as good as before but there's always the colored post it!!! Yellow for errands... pink for dr's appointments... orange for grocery list.. etc..etc..etc..
