I am so excited for you to go to NYC. What a fun trip that will be, and going to the theater as well.

How olds is your daughter? Is she doing better today. That must have been so scary for her. How far away from you does she live? I have no idea in terms of distance in FL.

Went to see the Astros play last night along with the ladies from work. We had a good time. I was so tired when I got home I had worked nearly all day and the office is 20 miles in each direction. I slept pretty well last night.

What all are you going to take to NY. Will it be a formal affair? I expect you will see a lot of CC buddies again.


Martha, hope your Mom is OK. How is your week going?

Morning.........

Lauren is 23.............she lives in Tampa ,which is about 90 miles from here........she says she is feeling much better..........

Not a formal affair in NY....its a day time event and it is business casual..........the rest of the time ,I really have no idea what they wear in NY......so we're going wing it........

Sounds like you had a good time at the game..........who did they play???


Morning Martha.............

Hi, Kathy & Kate-
Glad you are able to go to NY, Kathy. You will see everything in NY. Nothing is out of place!

Taking Mom for a procedure today. Maybe I can use her computer when she gets home. She seems to be declining this year. My other sisters have noticed,also.

We're supposed to have a cold front come thru here today. Only going to be 86!!

Later

Morning Kathy, and Martha,

Oooh a cold front of 86 wish it was here too. Let us know how your Mom does today. Is it anything serious, or just old age?

Kathy, have you been to NY before? It will be a fun packed trip. Do as much as you can. Take the FREE ferry from Lower Manhattan to Staten Island and then you can see the statue of Liberty for free. I am sure Martha will have a lot more advise.

My son is 25 Kathy and he doesn't take care of himself either. I am always hoping that one of these days he will grow up. These young folk are a worry. I hope Lauren is much better today. What is the latest?

I am having a day off to get some things organized at home. We decided that if I have to sell the house we need to do some things and remove the clutter. Later on I will go to the Gym and get on the treadmill as it has been a week since I did.

Got an invitation to a tea- party for the Queen's birthday to be held at the Hyatt Regency Hotel here next week. It is a VERY BRITISH AFFAIR. Hats for the ladies. :girly Entertainment by Alistair Donkin from London's Gilbert and Sullivan, who is here to direct the Houston G&S next month in Yeomen of the Guard.

Have a good day girls

Hi-
Mom did well....she had her esophagus dilated so she could swallow food. The food kept getting caught and she would choke. She spent the night at my house as she was so groggy from the anesthesia. Lee will take her home later today.

Hope you have a good w/e.........

Hi Martha,

That sounds like a nasty procedure, I hope she is doing better today. I have never heard of that before.

Work today and then I am meeting Lindsey and going to her SWANKY gym for a workout, then she is coming over to spend the night and help me sort out some of the stuff. Thank God for daughters.

Kathy, what are you taking to NYC?

Have a great Friday.

My day is so typical Friday the 13th......it sucks............Lauren called us at 6am cuz she was having those shakes again........she went to work but left early to go to the doctor..........put her on more meds(Xanax and Lexapro),but she is still upset............I am rethinking this whole NY trip.........I hate even being 100 miles away...........I cant imagine 1000..........

I used to live on Long Island so I have been to the city many times.........Dennis would be the tourist............

Hope your mom is doing ok,Martha,...................

Kathy- those are some serious medications. Hope Lauren feels better. Hope it works out that you and Dennis can go....

Kate- glad Lindsey is there for you. How is Alistair with all this?? Hope he is holding up okay.

Mom has sinus infection and Lee had to take her to my urgent care for antibiotics. Stayed over with us again in case of fever. Have to go to work.

Have a good w/e....

Happy Flag Day!

OMG Kathy, what a nightmare for you. Are the meds taking any effect on her? Has it stabilized her at all? It sounds pretty bad so I can see your reluctance to go far away. I have spent many days at the hospital with Alistair. so I know how you feel. Hopefully by Tuesday she may have improved but I know you have to get your airfare. If it is miles maybe you can reuse them again.

Martha, I don;t really think Alistair has a clue about how devastating this has been for me. He is in his own world. Fortunately Lindsey does and that is what counts. He is trying to rush me now into getting on with it. But I do not intend to be rushed.

Lindsey and Eric came over and we went out to dinner. Never got to the Gym as they were viewing a house they would like to buy so that took up a lot of the afternoon. I hope it all works out for them.. How is your Mom today?

It sounds like we all need a cruise..............

Morning......

Had fun on the Sterling(gambling boat outta Pt canaveral) yesterday...didnt win........lost $20 but it was nice to see the FL people and meet new ones from CC....

On another board, someone suggested it might be a tyroid problem with lauren and I told her she needs to get blood work done tomorrow when she goes back to the doctor..

Martha-hows your mom today??? Hope she is feeling better.............I know those are not fun drugs.......I took Lexapro when I was separated from Dennis and I was all depressed............it did work though and I have a friend on it forever(which I think is a but much)......

Glad you're letting him rush you Kate........he wants it,but too bad....he has to suffer some too..........

Morning girls,

Sounds like you had a fun time Kathy. Did Dennis go or was it just the FL CC buddies? Is it this Tuesday that you go to NY? Are you ready for it? Are you going to go?

It sounds like Lauren would be well advised to have them check out her thyroid. It is the strangest thing I have heard, but maybe Martha can shed some light on it.

I am going to a concert this afternoon. It is some choral works and Houston Symphony, performing. It keeps me out of trouble.

Hope Mom is doing better Martha.

Oh Kathy,

I am so sorry. I know you were looking forward to it. I will keep my fingers crossed for you that it all works out. I know you were worried about the truck as it is your livelihood. How is Lauren today? Is the news any better?

Wish I could afford to come with you. :girly

Hi, y'all-
Worked this w/e....Saturday was very busy, Sunday not so.
Cable only working intermittently, so don't even know if this will post....
Hope I get Tom's post about his stress test.

Kathy- let's hope it's the medicine Lauren is taking that is causing her problems.... that is simple to fix!
I am so sorry you are having truck problems again. I know how much you wanted to go to NY for the unveiling. Hope you still make it!

Kate-the thyroid is a gland. If it gets out of whack and your body gets too much or too little thyroid you can lose or gain wt, get jittery and shaky or tired, your eyes can bulge out..........

I am glad Lauren is calling her Dr. today.....

Morning girls,

Kathy, I am glad you are feeling better about not taking the trip. I know you must be disappointed. Life sure can throw you some curve balls. As you say at least you have the SS to look forward to. I know you will enjoy that. Lets hope you get some good news about the truck today. Didn't you say you might have to get a new one? Ouch. I hope Lauren's Doc is able to come up with a solution to her problem. It sounds like her body is totally out of whack. I tell you some of these medications are worse than what they are supposed to be taken for.

Martha, you will be happy to have your long weekend over with. Are you having PC problems?

Off to work again today, but there is a restaurant near the office where they are having salsa lessons tonight so hoping to persuade a friend that we should go.

Have a good Monday and Kathy, fingers crossed for you and for Tom.

You will be fine. I travel by myself a lot. One time I had to come back from Singapore alone. Just get to your hotel and then hook up with some of the others.

I am so sorry Dennis cannot make it, but at least you get to go. Are you able to change the flight time? Just take care.
