Now this is how I feel most days, LOL 

School?

Well today went well and was a very short meeting with the woman from the VESID program.. I have to check out what classes are available to me and see what I might like to get into, Yet they also want me to take a few test to see where my skills are at.it all sounds good But as far as starting any schools they say that won't happen to soon.. They also want to wait till after I had my surgery and some therapy to see what I can and can not do with my arm.They are very helpful people.. I like the idea of everything they offer.. they even work with ya through everything, and when you start working again in a feild you can work in, they don't just drop you.. they keep updated and if you have a problems they jump right in and help again.. thats cool.. But Now I have the problem of how long am I to live like this? its been almost two years of pure hell and it seems like the pain is getting worse everyday. Most people think I am a real Bitch these days. yet not one of them understands that amount of pain I am in most of the time.. Now I get told I should not be a bitch since I am on pain meds.. Well I would agree, But the pain meds do not take the pain away, they just dull it for a while... Again, what is wrong with fixing the problem??? OK thats it... done rambling, LOL

Doctors and Pain

I want to know what is wrong with People these days. More to the point, what the hell is wrong with people who think that money comes out of their own pockets? It's not like I have not worked all my life and paid my dues, trust me I have. Well let me explain. A few years ago I got hurt at work, June 17, 2003, I tore my shoulder up pretty bad. on Nov 13, 2003 they did surgery. From that point on I have had tons of therapy and lots of shots in it to try to lessen the pain and all to no avail. Well I get sent to another doctor. I like this one. he gets right to the point and holds no punches yet likes to talk and become part of your life during your treatment with him. thats cool. Now he wants to do a 2nd surgery on my shoulder. with the facts well in hand that I will lose more mobility in my left arm. Hey less movemement, no more pain. I can live with this. But Workmans Comp wants to give me a run around. they feel it don't need to be done. OK, Now this means living on Pain pills.. Yep Loritabs, Now I hate the way these things make me feel. I feel like I am speeding my butt off and as for the pain, it is still there, But hey my head is so messed up that the pain don't matter as long as I don;t move the arm .. So two days ago the doctor puts me on Loritab 10's to take every 4 to 6 hours. Now I am looking at the fact of becoming addicted to them. I stressed this concern to the dr (oops its a pain managment dr, different from above) He says to me, "Oh don't worry, you will be able to get off them with very little to no side effects" YEAH RIGHT... What is wrong with just fixing the problem and getting it over with? Is that such a hard concept to understand? I just don't understand these people.. I worked hard all my life. I put my time in, and to be honest, I really want to get back to work. Yep I have been out of work this whole time. Now I have looked for jobs, But how many people do you know that will hire someone who has to keep taking days off for octor appointments, or who wil be going out for a month or so for surgery? Well not any in the area I live in. they hear this and SORRY, we can't hire you, come on back when your totaly cleared to work. So today I am headed to see a woman in a program called VESID, Now this program will pay to send you back to school or retrain you in something that you can do with all your limitations.. Lets hope for the best for me. I have got to do something. This program is also run by Workmans Comp. go figure, these people want you to go back to work ASAP, yet they don't want to pay to have you repaired However they will pay even more money to send you to school.. Now don;t that make sence to you? I know it don't me.. However I could see this if after the surgery was done and you were cleared to work and your old job said sorry we replaced you.. I don't know, I am confused and rambling today. So I am off to go see what this woman has to offer and will let ya'll know. Ya know, Arizona is looking better all the time. OK so I want to live where it is warm and sunny most of the time. LOL... we still have snow here. its melting, but it is still here... OK I am out, Have a good day

Another Year Older!!!!

Well here it is.. Good Friday or as I like to call it, Pagan Shopping Day. LOL. Yes folks, for all you Pagans out there, take advantage of the holiday off work and go shopping for all your ritual needs, LOL.. But what a great day it has been. First off.. yes today is my Birthday.. I am OLD and this I know, But I feel young at heart. Anyhows it was a good day.. Started out this morning at around 9 am meeting up with a bunch of woman from a couple of my yahoo groups and went shopping, spent the day doing that. then went to Dinner... after which I came home to a wonderful gift. Yep, My grandchildren had baked me a cake...Yes they had help LOL... But I got a Birthday Cake with home made frosting. Yummy... and then I also have a ton of cup cakes here my friend bought for me.... I got to take a long hot bath with Lavendar Bath Salt (I make myself) and then come play here for a few.. Now I am off to bed.. I hope everyone has a wonderfull weekend and for those that do celebrate it, Have a Wonderful &Happy Easter....

Oh I almost forgot....My Birthday being spent Shopping and also what a year this will be, as my Birthday fell on the Full Moon & the 13th week of the year... Life is good. LOL.... Blessed Be

Hey Lets Hide in here, I know she wants us for Dinner... She says she won't shoot any of us But I bet she lets someone else do her dirty work. You know how them humans are! 

Which way do we go?

I am in FOOD heaven

Another Per Request for Michelle, (sorry only two photos I could find) 

In Honor of Our Pal Michelle... Hope you Like, :) 

The 92-year-old, petite, well-poised and proud lady, who is fully dressed each morning by eight o'clock, with her hair fashionably coifed and makeup perfectly applied, even though she is legally blind, moved to a nursing home today.

Her husband of 70 years recently passed away, making the move necessary.

After many hours of waiting patiently in the lobby of the nursing home, she smiled sweetly when told her room was ready.

As she maneuvered her walker to the elevator, I provided a visual description of her tiny room, including the eyelet sheets that had been hung on her window.

I love it," she stated with the enthusiasm of an eight-year-old having just been presented with a new puppy.

"Mrs. Jones, you haven't seen the room, just wait."

"That doesn't have anything to do with it," she replied. "Happiness is something you decide on ahead of time. Whether I like my room or not doesn't depend on how the furniture is arranged .... it's how I arrange my mind. I already decided to love it. It's a decision I make every morning when I wake up. I have a choice; I can spend the day in bed recounting the difficulty I have with the parts of my body that no longer work, or get out of bed and be thankful for the ones that do. Each day is a gift, and as long as my eyes open I'll focus on the new day and all the happy memories I've stored away ... just for this time in my life.

Old age is like a bank account: you withdraw from what you've put in. So, my advice to you would be to deposit a lot of happiness in the bank account of memories.

Thank you for your part in filling my Memory Bank. I am still depositing.

Remember the five simple rules to be happy:

1. Free your heart from hatred.
2. Free your mind from worries.
3. Live simply.
4. Give more.
5. Expect less.
 

This says it all!

Time passes.
Life happens.
Distance separates.
Children grow up.
Love waxes and wanes.
Hearts break.
Careers end.
Jobs come and go.
Parents die.
Colleagues forget favors.
Men don't call when they say they will.

BUT...........
Girlfriends are there, no matter how much time and how many miles
are between you.

A girlfriend is never farther away than needing her can reach.

When you have to walk that lonesome valley and you have to walk it
for yourself, your girlfriends will be on the valley's rim, cheering you
on, praying for you, pulling for you, intervening on your behalf, and
waiting with open arms at the valley's end.
Sometimes, they will even break the rules and walk beside you. Or
come in and carry you out.

Daughters, Daughter-in-laws, sisters, sisters-in-law, mother,
mother-in-law, aunties, nieces, cousins, extended family, and
friends bless our life! The world wouldn't be the same without them, and
neither would I.

When we began this adventure called womanhood, we had no idea of the
incredible joys or sorrows that lay ahead. Nor did we know how much
we would need each other.

Every day, we need each other still.

The Season Begins

Well here we go. the Season Begins for me.. Not only do I help get the Mystic Festival get underway each year. I also Advertise for the Place that holds the Mystic Festival. We have a New Web Site underway to. But the Place I do this for is called The New Farm. Feel free to keep checking us out. We are a co-op of Vendors selling anything from Antiques to New. Just depends on What your into. Most likely we have it and for a good price. Oh See here I go selling again.. Hey it is in my blood. I once got told I could sell my grandmother and she is no longer with us. Hummm trying to decide if that was a compliment or an insult? I also have a friend who has her store located in here at this time.. So if your looking for Unique gifts, check her site out to. She is Lady Mystery. OK. I am done trying to sell. LOL.. Well maybe..

As you can see I have not been putting much in here.. thats only cause I don't want to complain about the weather anymore.. I figure if I don't complain, maybe the white crap thats all over here will melt away and give me warm weather.. yeah I know I am wishing again.. But hey a girl has to have something to wish for. Yes I could think of better things to wish for. But this will just have to do for now. Ya know I thought I made it through most of the winter with out getting really sick. I did.. But right now I think I have the flu. Not good. try advertising with that. But hey I made it here to. I am doing good. Of course my bed is looking really good again.. I only been up an hour. Oh well.. I just have to think of it as the end of the winter cold and move on... OK, thats it for today.. There will be no more snow pics on here either. so I hope ya'll had enough snow for the winter.. I know I have... Later y'all
