@bichon,

Yes, yesterday was an ordeal and I am glad to have it behind me. Still undecided as to whether I will cancel today’s dental visit. I would love to just recharge today and spend this rainy day watching old movies surrounded by my kitties. I will never forget how much they helped me when i lost Cuddles. For months I couldn’t go into my room and lived in the guest room with the kitties surrounding me. They didn’t leave my side other than to eat and you know what. I got really sick with my UC after losing her. Lost 12 pounds in one week. The kitties just knew I needed them. They are so healing. I feel like I need a day like that right now.
I only have my sleep test to schedule now so I will try to make that next week. Not looking forward to it because I don’t sleep well when I’m away from home but it’s just one night. It will be fine and nothing scary. Then I think all tests will be completed and it’s just monitoring the cholesterol and sugars. Hoping for a good report from yesterday’s test.

So, 4 weeks away from your big adventure? it is going to be here before you know it! It will be beautiful this time of year with all the tulips! You should bring home some bulbs! I read about the Heidi jewelry for your friend’s wife. How thoughtful of you! I know she will love it! 😀
Cleaning out the closet is always good. I fill boxes and bags and I have disabled vets pick them up. Some things I sell to consignment – those things with tags still on them or never worn that I figure never will be. I recently took most of my technibond, some of my sterling rings and some fashion jewelry into consignment. The lady went ga-ga and it all sold. I took boots and a fur Iman cape that is just too heavy for me. I’m happy that someone else will enjoy it. 😀

Keep up the good work on losing weight! Don’t get discouraged your down by 10 and not more. It takes a long time and it is better that way because that means it is a life style change and not temporary. Just keep eating healthy and exercising. You will gain much more in benefits than just weight loss – you will be contributing to your overall health by cutting your chances of developing so many things that plague us as we age. I wish I had never gained my weight but I did and so now I must work hard to get it off and eat well to prevent further gain. It will happen, hang in there and celebrate the progress you have made! You go girl! 😀 We can be each other’s cheerleaders! 😀

I hope you have a good day! Hugs to Ari! 😀 I love Lucy is on so I’m going to fix some chamomile tea and hopefully get a little more sleep. 😀

@Cherie,

Thank you so much for those prayers and Angels! I really DID feel them! I felt my mom too. No one was there in person to hold my hand but I imagined God was and it really helped. 😀

Thank you for the suggestion on the antibiotic schedule. I am going to write it down! The reason I am up so early is because I had to set my alarm for 3:20 to take my dose. Not too happy about that. Want to go back to sleep but can’t now and my alarm is set for 6:30 for one of my heart meds. I think I will be rescheduling the dental appointment because my tummy is rumbling… those telltale signs of things to come. Remember, I have UC so I am sensitive to these things. Eating lots of yogurt and drinking lots of fluids. The pharmacist recommended Immodium A-D caplets for me – said it is the safest for me and is ok with all my meds. I’m hoping I will be ok. I don’t want to cancel dentist but I’m stressing about feeling sick and not making it to the bathroom. I would like to see how I’m feeling but don’t want to cancel at last minute either. Appointment is at !:00. Pharmacist said Keflex is one of the more gentle of it’s kind so I hope so. The only antibiotic I have ever been able to tolerate is Amoxicillin which is what I take before dental visits. My cardilogist has recently said it is not necessary anymore. Medical opinions are always changing on that matter but the Rythmol is doing a good job keeping my heart regulated at the new higher dosage. Maybe that is why it is no longer necessary for me to pre-medicate.

Your mom’s “glowing” skin makes me want to try Skinn Pep 40. 😀 Skin changes over the years and you may find the cream works now. I am looking for a really good daily moisturizer that just soaks in. I recently got the Lancome TS but the creams are too thick for me. I will use them but won’t buy again, not now anyway. I used to use Idealist by Estee Lauder and always got complements on my “baby soft” skin. Maybe I will give it a try again. I use Lancome Genefique and also Dr Nassif serum but I need a moisturizer for day. I will be tuning in to watch the Skinn presentations.

I hope you have a good day! Hugs from all the kitties! 😀

Aww, Thank you loaf! That is so sweet of you! Love you too! 😀

That is so cool that you were present when your grandson was born! I got to visit with my daughter while she was in labor but no one allowed in when Grandson was born except Daddy. They did a great job together and he took good care of her during the whole thing. What a beautiful moment to hold your grandchild, isn’t it? 😀

Kitties send hugs to Bella! 😀

Dear Kittengirl;

Read all your posts. What an ordeal….! You are being proactive and very wise. Taking care of yourself is paramount to your being and taking care of all those you love. I bet arriving home to the kitties was a joy. A feline festival must have soothed you after an arduous day.

Keep those mangoes and oranges coming for health and pleasure.

We are well into our four-week countdown for our trip. I am not down as much as I would like at ten pounds but I am at it. Yesterday, I spent four hours filling up two garbage bags to be thrown ou, filled the cleaning lady’s bag for her cousin and have a pile to take to consignment. Today, after walking Ari and breakfast; I am going back in. Yesterday, the exterminator made his monthly visit. Jerry answered the door while I was on my closet floor. The exterminator walks in and tells me he gets big bags and just tosses. I am sentimental but getting much more ruthless in there.

Okay, relax and enjoy the day. Wait, you have the dentist?! Oy Vey!

Hi Cheri;

Liking the idea of the B Complex. I will order some. Now, there are six AL doses in my daily routine. My aim is to get myself to only AL but I think that will not happen.

As for skin creams; we live in Florida and I see what damage the sun can do. You know where I see it most…..on women’s arms. Please tell me when it is time to put the sleeveless clothes away. Women with good figures with arms that have been wrinkled, tanned and lost their beauty by other ways. The faces can be lifted, injected and tweaked. The arms only go so far. Cream and cover. What was too thick for you ten years ago may be reformulated. If that doesn’t work there are many others. Living in So Cal must provide a myriad of choices.

Have fun in your new car and thank you for the vitamins. Ordering now. .

DEAR KITTENGIRL SENDING LOVING HUGS ALWAYS WE LOVE YOU . WISHING YOU WELL TODAY . L OVE LOAF .

DEAR SHEBA AND LADIES DONT FORGET TO SHARE A PACZKI TODAY LOL. I LOVE CREAM FILLED OR JELLY . ITS A RICH FAT TUESDAY TRADITION . WHILE AT A PARTY I MET A NURSE THAT WORKED WITH MY SISTERINLAW .SHE SAID HER NAME WAS SHERRY . SAID TO TELL HER HELLO . SO IN ORDER TO REMEMBER I SANG THE SONG SHERRY SHERRY BABY CAN YOU COME OUT TONIGHT . LOL.COME OUT TO MY TWIST PARTY. OMG I PUT EVERYTHING TO A SONG .LOL.MY SISTERINLAW ONCE DELIVERED BABIES SHE BROUGHT ME IN WHEN MY FIRST GRANDSON WAS BORN .HERES A BEACHBOY TUNE DONT WORRY BABY EVERYTHING WILL TURN OUT .

Sheba …. We Love listening to Sirius and Now we will hear it in surround sound! Yup ….Mom watches Kiddos so Captain & I can go to Bible study. Yes there are 2 values, but only ONE applies to you. Oh Sheba Dear … based on that information, Cherie can see You are so right, your organs are healthy. So my humble opinion would be to take A.L.’s C-Complex & B-12, that should help out that RBC value the natural way. Cherie uses a “Little bit of this & a Little Bit of that” as far as skin care. MOM has been using SKINN for 10 years. I tried it at that time and it was too “thick” for my skin and it made me break out … Boo. Maybe things have changed and I may try it again cause that PEP 40 has made MOM’s skin glow along with his other things. I could write out a list of what’s on MOM’s counter some time. Cherie is waving … You stay warm & well Sheba♥ …. Take Care ALL!

@loaf … I was laughing too (Like KITTEN) about your “little” voice telling you to stop buying things. Cherie hear’s that voice sometimes but it fades fast when that doorbell rings for a package drop off ….LOL.

@kittengirl …. You betcha, Cherie did not forget to send Prayers & BIG angels with you this morning. Quite the ordeal. Glad that infection was caught …”good catch”. while on antibiotics, it’s the perfect time to get your dental work done. Keflex is a great antibiotic but most people don’t like to take it every six hours and set their alarm clocks for crazy times to take it. You can get the same medicinal effects of the antibiotics by taking it (every 5, during the day) at 6 a.m., 11 a.m., 4 p.m., and the last dose at 9 p.m.. Most like that schedule BUT … that’s just my humble opinion. Kitty Hugs

@Sheba,
ChickenHeart is more like it! Lol! I wish I could have seen Cuddles picture too! The cat on the left bottom looks like Cuddles except Cuddles had intensely deep blue eyes, like Royal blue! She was so beautiful! I love all the kitty pictures! 😀 Thanks for the prayers! Much appreciated. 😀

@taci,

Believe me, I’d rather not go tomorrow. I made the appointment last week when I went in to have my tooth looked at. I lost part of my filling two weeks ago and then after I saw my dentist, I either lost more of the filling or part of my tooth. I am living on soup right now so I’m not eating particularly healthy. I have to chew with my front teeth so food has to be really soft. See, the tooth is my wisdom tooth on left side, but wisdom tooth on right side broke and has to come out which requires surgery so I can’t chew on that side either. I need to get the other one fixed before it breaks too which is why I feel I have to go. But obviously, if I am not handling the antibiotics well then there is no way I am subjecting myself to a dental visit! I am hoping I will feel fine so I can just get it over with.
I sure hope my tooth can still be fixed with just a filling and not a crown. You’re right, today has not been fun. I may just reschedule. I’m very tired. I plan on doing what you said and taking it easy for a few days. 😀 Have a good one! 😀 Hugs!

@loaf

Take care,and get some rest 💕
