Morning FMily....MiMi in NC...where it is cloudy....but I think we are suppose to have a nice day overall....I know the beach is expected to feel some bad weather from the storm which is brewing....I would not want to be there during this time...I do like the beach but not when it is bad weather...I think there were a lot of people headed that way though...we went down to visit my son...and the traffic was horrible...I was glad that I was not the one driving in it....but just being a passenger did not help either..
Here is hoping everyone had a good night's rest...and I do hope today will be a good day for all of us...I hope it will be a quiet one for me...as always I am tired...I hate going to bed, resting and still waking up as tired as when I went to bed...
I do hope that other FMers feel better this morning...I know that several of you have also been under the weather some...time does help...but it does take time...and sometimes it takes more than we perfer...
Welcome to the new members who have joined our FMily recently...I am sure that soon each of you will find something that will help you cope better...just hang out with us here and learn all you can about the wrath of the dragon...as it does take a process....a trial and error process...what helps one may or may not help another...but there must be something out there that will help us all....
Vitamin D...be sure and talk to your doctor about getting your Vitamin D level checked....this is so very important for a lot of people these days...low Vitamin D can cause some of us to have additional pain....(like we don't have enough to deal with)...and it can also affect other illnesses as well.
Remember our service people as this is what the memorial holiday is all about...GOD bless each and every one of them and their families as well...
That's my story and I'm sticking to it...

Mimi,
Good morning!
I actually slept in! Up at 7 instead of 430. I never do that. Too early to tell how I will feel today. Not even finished with my first cup of coffee. Yesterday I was just fatigued to the bone! Did a little yard word, but not much. Hopefully today will be better. I guess I am still recovering from my bad day on Tuesday.
Memorial day plans are to roast hotdogs in the fire pit. Just me and my DH. I am going over to a friends house to visit a bit in mid afternoon. It is my former boss. We share so many common interests so it's nice to visit. We miss each other terribly. We worked together for 8 years and dismissing me was the hardest thing he has ever done. The beast prevented me from doing my job.
Thanks for the shout out to veterans. I am one myself and very proud of it!
Enjoy your day and I hope you feel better!
Kim

Good morning, Mimi, Kim and all to follow!
T-storms rolled through here early this morning - really noisy and raining hard around 5 am. Did sleep on and off through the storm. Unfortunately, hip and shoulder were really bothering me - probably due to the stormy weather.
My nephew's high school graduation is this afternoon. The family is going out for dinner after. It will be a nice time.
Doing laundry and a few other things around the house today. Going to relax and read, too.
Wishing everyone a great Saturday and Memorial Day weekend - with little or no pain and good sleep!
God Bless our service people!

So close to the land of the living....weak and sweat easily but my head is clearer. Bad cough remains, sound like a dog barking! (ha)! But I will NOT SIT on the recliner today.
I have been sleeping on the couch (the way my Mom did) I awake each a.m with out the numb hands, more movement and ability???? I am so my Mother! My memory foam topper though 6" in depth is still not as soft as the couch to sleep on. I was able to flip to the other side in a flash to help breathe as apposed to turn and twist to accomplish the same.
I will remember this in the future! Have to reasess the neck pillow I use? Maybe it is not enough or I need more elevation? to help the shoulders? Hmm?
Weak and beaten to a pulp, I am staying home from all the festivities. Got healing to do. S L O W going, but move a bit I will.
Sweating as I type, I have to get off and shower. I just wanted to stop by and let you know I am alive. Don't get sick guys.....it is enough to drag our dragon with us.......more is just unbearable! Nancy B

Hello 
I hope you've all had a good week. I've been sick for almost two weeks now and ended up missing work all of last week. My fever is finally gone; just need to get rid of the sore throat and get my voice back. I was in such bad shape DH went out and bought me a dry erase board to carry around.
I am finally working on converting temperatures. I did well enough with switching over distance and volume measurements, but temperature is another story. When I see my regular doctor, it's not a problem to take in a record of temperatures in *F...doesn't work so well with the interns lol Thank goodness my thermometer changes color according to the temperature
So for now I know that 36.5 is good and anything over 37.2 is a fever.
Dinner's almost done, so I'd better get moving. I made whole wheat lasagna noodles, DH made the sauce, and DS14 made my snickerdoodles recipe. Hope you all get plenty of rest tonight and you're able to enjoy your weekend.
