Sorry to be (again) MIA. Just back from our SF getaway, we surrvived Bay to Breakers.
You know it's not a serious race when the first question you get asked, by anyone who notes that you ran it (wearing a T is a giveaway lol) is "did you finish"?. LOL Not because it was hard but because well...a lot don't! They have "sobering stations" along the course. Too funny. VERY entertaining.
I'm surprised that with everything on your plate that you have time to make it to the DIS at all!
I am SOOOO sorry about Fran's thumb! Does she take anything to help with bone density or strength at all? That would be worrisome for sure. I am glad that she decided to tough it out and hopefully the new meds will kick in soon and make a difference...at a better price but how awful to deal with in the interim, for all of you, and trying to get the apartments done too.
Well we saw a hand specialist and evidently the radiologist at the X-ray center misread the X-ray. The hand doctor found no instance of fracture. He did say he saw Osteoarthritis, but that was it. Her pain also moved to another part of her hand. We have been having a really bad pain day today. Not that I am having pain, but I have to deal with the aftermath when she can't move. I had hoped to do some work on the apartments, but she couldn't have me gone more than an hour at a time.
I think that is great you took advantage of it, I never use ours at home or the one on vacation! I'd skip the TV though but a bath is just lovely!
I use them at home and on trips. I have a TV in my bathroom so I can watch the TV on closed caption while I'm in the tub.
I am so glad you got to go on some rides that morning! We were definitely crazy rope drop people and hit MK hard before the pool. I did get in some rides I'd not been able to in the past. Nemo (always closed, hadn't been on it since it was 20,000 leagues...made my day right there!) Storybook boats and Alice (also not since a child).
I'm glad you all got on some rides. I'm guessing that you three and me, Leonard and Jim, we were the only people who actually went into parks that day.
Did Leonard ever buy a shirt? That is kind of funny, I expect those of us who travel to have to buy things we forget but not the locals. She does owe you a lamb burger!
Yes, he wore it to dinner that night, you'll see in pictures in the next update. Hopefully she will feel better in the next two weeks and maybe then I could get my lamburger.
Oh it was heavenly by the pool! For me, it was the first time I could really enjoy the pool there, when I was there with the boys last year they were NOT interested in it at all so it wasn't very relaxing either time. This was just lovely, thank you for the opportunity!
I'm glad you got to have fun and relaxing time at the pool!
It was so funny, a couple of days later I realized that not only did we not put the table back at the end (which I don't think was a big deal), the lamp we had moved to make more room on the bar was probably still on top of the TV unit in the main LR. Oops!
I'd thought one table would work originally...it was quite the bar, we ended up with 3 tables total dedicated to it!
Yeah, I'm sure they are used to people coming in there and moving stuff around. At least everything was still in the Villa and they didn't have to go looking for it elsewhere.
YAY! There we are. I look like an
amazon. LOL
Just got home from WDW had a blast. Just catching up. Oh my poor poor Fran. I take plastic cutlery in my purse and Jo has to cut up my meals so I know what that feels like :-( poor love.
I'm so glad you had a good time. She isn't dealing well with not being able to do things. It makes her frustrated and then she lashes out due to her frustration. I don't know if she will ever be able to cope with her new limitations.
Your massage oh divine! What can I say! The whole weekend just looks exactly the magic you deserve. That collage is the works I love that. So many memories to treasure with family and friends. I bet you will be on cloud 9 for a while. I hope so anyway.
Thank you! Everything about that weekend was just fabulous. I could use another one right now.
I hope Fran sorts out her drugs. Thanks for sharing your birthday.
Well today she broke down and took the oral medication, so she'll have to tell them Tuesday that she has disqualified herself from the study.
That does not sound good at all. Has she had a bone density scan?
She has a prescription for one, but she thinks it's in an MRI tube and is afraid to take it. Darcy told me that they just scan you with a wand, but either way she hasn't been up to taking the test.
What a nice way to start the day. I can't wait to ride it again in September.
We can ride it multiple times in September. That is if they haven't mucked things up with FP+
What a shame that you never got your birthday burger.
I know. But there is plenty of time left to go back.
I had this on the Wonder in the past and this is amazing.
I would definitely do it again, but not on a night where I'm going out.
Those shoes are really cute.
Thanks, I finally got to wear them! I had been waiting for a suitable occasion!
What a fantastic idea. I really like this.
Alicia came up with it, such a fun project. I enjoyed looking at all my old photo albums again. Until I met Fran though I hardly took any pictures of myself. Mostly scenery. I rarely even took pictures of my friends! Funny how things change.
any news on that front?
Its not tragic but its far from perfect. I am not a big fan of change. Basically my position now, because I am part therapy and part UR would be moved from behavioral health to case management which would mean a new boss and immediate new co-workers. I love my position now because its 32 hours and it's not ALL therapy which can be totally overwhelming on a locked acute adult psych floor. My options are to go with the move which would mean moving offices which sounds silly but I love my office location and office mates; stay under behavioral health and do ALL therapy and be a 40 hour a week employee which keeps me in the same office and same department but like I said, 40 hours a week on the psych floor can be taxing; or find a new job which I have been looking and have a final interview this Tuesday. 
I did the typical pros/cons list and don't see a pronounced winner. I came home to this news on Monday and have been struggling with a decision ever since.
No real progress. I am almost ending 3 weeks in limbo. My interview went well. I have made 1,000 pros/cons lists and I am truly torn. I have been offered one but the offer was low so I countered. I interviewed for another as full time therapist only but my fear is it will be a decrease in pay which I just can't swallow right now. I can change dept and my income will stay the same but my dept will change as will my immediate boss and coworkers. I want to win the lottery. 
what a pain in the rear.
I never feel particularly tall, but somehow nearly all the DIS ladies I have met are not tall...
