One Step at a Time - August 2018

Re: One Step at a Time - August 2018

Your Royal Highness Queen Gladys - I did not realize that you were Welsh. When did you move to Australia. Very interesting.
I think that I'm the only one that hasn't moved or traveled all over.

Rusty - glad that you have a nice suite. I know what you mean about not wanting to go out after a business day. Probably have lots to finish working on in the evenings anyway.

Pauly - I would love to go give you a hug when you are in Newport. :hug: I know it's impossible to try to plan ahead but maybe one day it will work out.

Liz - I've been thinking of you so much. Also, thinking of your Mom. My Mom pretty much stopped talking about my Dad a few months after. The Alzheimer's got worse. That part was almost a blessing because she wasn't grieving him so much. But, we never know what's going on in her mind. :sad: Anyway, please feel free to come here and talk. You are going thru such a hard time right now. We love you and care so much :heartbeat:

Re: One Step at a Time - August 2018

Hi all. Glad this day is almost over! Computers were partially down today, all day! So much confusion and backlog now. It was still down when I left. There may be some OT this week for me. Came home and Lucy has been acting weird. She doesn't want to eat, she has become very picky, she's restless and her tail is down. He appetite has been off for about a week now. She is 12 and I worry about her. My SIL called, she has been away caring for her dad and so she finally called me since my dad had passed. She was kind and compassionate and well I have been crying ever since I got home. I just don't know, can't seem to stop. Hubby is being supportive, but I know he's worried about Lucy too.

Glassy, we shall now refer to you as Your royal highness! I love it!

Bird, sounds like you are a good tired, though. I'll bet your sleeping good at night. ME, not so much. You're really going to enjoy that mp in ours was 87 degrees today, bath water!

Nora, hope you're feeling better now. Wow 5 pm and you slept through the night? How is your mom doing. I know what you mean when you say you don't know what's going on in their heads. It's so hard to describe. The most recent thinking on my dad was that he had Lewy-Body dementia, like robin Williams, which might explain how quickly he progressed at the end. I just hope he didn't know what was going on.

Rusty, I cannot even imagine how hot and hazy it is there. I am so glad you have a nice suite. How do you unwind after a day at work, when your not at home? I'm thinking you're going to tell me you're doing more work?

Techie, always good to see you popping in!

Pauly, you have a very smart phone. What does it call me? Or maybe I shouldn't ask?

Off to read a bit and see if Lucy will cuddle with me. Boy do I need it! Wishing you all an quiet AF night

Re: One Step at a Time - August 2018

Oh Liz. :hug: :sad: I'm sorry to hear that Lucy is under the weather. Could it be the heat? I hope that Lucy wants to cuddle. :heartbeat:

Hi From Utah!

There is a dark gray haze over Salt Lake, due to the wildfires in UT and CA. So, so sad.

Nora-Are your relatives in Redding, CA safe? That is SO scary. For self-care yesterday, I ate healthy food and made the decision to soak my swollen, painful foot instead of punishing it by working out. It is better this morning. :-)

Liz-I hope Lucy is OK. I know how much you love her. I agree with Nora...cuddling might help. Yes, relaxing after work means more work, LOL. This is just how my business works...or I work out at a nearby Anytime Fitness. Tomorrow I am practicing self-care by going to Dillard's and doing some shopping. LOVE Dillard's.

Bird-Can't wait to hear about your new place. I couldn't believe how long you lived in that trailer. I am delighted happier days are ahead for you.

Pauly-I love Newport...very pretty. When do you leave?

Queen Gladys-when do you leave for Africa?

OK, kids, I have work to do before work, so happy AF and Self-Caring Tuesday!

Hello everyone. :thumbsup:

Re: One Step at a Time - August 2018

Rusty, working out at the gym after work sounds like a great idea. How long are you staying?
Lucy has to go back to the vet tomorrow. Hubby took her today and she has acute chronic kidney disease. She has too much phosphorus in her system right now and it needs to be flushed out. Three to four days of IV fluids. Hubby will take her as I am working all week. I am beside myself. She was up a lot last night. Hoping, she just makes it through the night and they can flush her system. We don't know what her prognosis is, if this can be managed. I suppose the next few days will tell. Hubby and Lucy are both sleeping peacefully for right now. They had a rough afternoon.
Mark had a tough time going to Poland today. He had a layover in Frankfort Germany. The airport had to be evacuated. He sent video and it was bedlam. He is tucked safely in a hotel in Poland now wearing a plush white hotel robe!
I'm making it all about me again and I am sorry. I'm just devasted and can't stop crying. Trying to keep my chin up, but this has been a really difficult summer.
Wishing you all a good AF night

[MENTION=19302]Lizann[/MENTION] - I'm so sorry to hear about Lucy. Sending big hugs to you.

Re: One Step at a Time - August 2018

Liz - I was trying to find some comforting words but I didn't come up with anything. You are going thru such a hard time right now. I understand why you are crying. :sad: I am crying for you.
I'm glad that Mark finally made it. I googled the incident. Wow!
Please keep us posted about Lucy.
