Chat-a-Thon 2017-18 Thread!

Good morning. Happy Thursday!

Wishing Cooper an uneventful procedure and speedy healing.

Lynn, so nice you got to make a trip, even though you got a little creeped out...
Vader kitty is a star in my life, she is just a giant lump of love.
Jays, that meme is so true. Unfortunately mine started in my twenties...

So, an icky coincidence. Like five minutes ago, I was reading the posts here and the morning radio guy was saying that one bad thing about the weather here having gotten warmer is that the maple bugs are back.
I felt a tickle at my neckline, looked down expecting to maybe see a loose thread and be darned if it wasn't a #&@%!!! maple bug. I shreiked, swept it off me, it landed beside me - but instead of being smart and just whacking it to kill it, I shreiked again and tried to just get it away from me by flicking at it. Dumb me. So it is not dead, and we are now sharing a room. Ick!

Have a terrific day, everyone!

This is so ME! Turned 40 and then 2 weeks later, BAM! Diagnosed with Lupus. (Insert 1000 Cry Face Emojis)

I so understand Lynn49’s Fibromyalgia and Extreme Fatigue (which I am medicated for).

Now, I am in permanent medication and prone to depression because of this diagnosis. (Insert 10,000 Cry Face Emojis)

@JadeAngel , so sorry about your lupus diagnosis, very nasty for sure. I also struggle with depression, another lovely fibro gift, so I understand the catatosis it can send us into...some days can be very difficult. I hope you have something soft to snuggle (I have Jenny), and someone who listens and gives good hugs. Sometimes we just have to be kind to ourselves...meditation works for me when I'm not too antsy to even try. Have you tried that? Stay strong, Hon.

@Newfiescreech , how fun getting all or most of your shopping done in one trip! We did that a few years ago in NY. Many stores, shops will ship for you, so that will help your baggage limit. And oh, to be young again and busy as you are! Although I seriously can't recall being involved in so many organizations! You're amazing!

@Natalka , eeek...I hope Vader goes on a hunting soree for that icky bug! I just looked it up.....go get it, Vader!!

Another busy day...and off tomorrow.

Cooper is having his procedure done today, so I'll be leaving the office early and working from home tomorrow, to keep an eye on him.

Have a wonderful day, and great weekend everyone.

Well well well @danger_dan .... welcome to my world. How did you like it? I bet traffic was much more manageable :)

A few months ago I could barely even bend down. That's why being able to do this is a big thing for me. Sure I still have a lot of flab but I'm getting there. Hope everyone is doing well. :)

It IS a big deal, cabbie! WTG!

Flexibility is uber-important!
