May 10, 2008 Ship of Thieves...May 2008 Repo Thread...Part 12

[LiserAnn]

Not much change on Manuel, but he keeps us on our toes going up and down. He'll start bleeding and have a drop in BP, then the bleeding slows down or stops and he starts to level out again. We were here at the hospital late last night, and I am here again this morning waiting for the doctor. He is as baffled as we are as to where the blood keeps coming from and why it stops and starts. If he cannot get it to completely stop, he feels he may have to go back to the OR to try and find the source.

Too much time in a hospital, I am starting to cough now and feel a cold coming on again.

Hang in there John! I hope you don't get sick...that's not what you need right now. We're all thinking of you!

 

[LiserAnn]

20 DAYS....oh my goodness. I am starting to freak out!

Me too! There's so much to do, I'm starting to feel overwhelmed!

 

[KrisannB]

Don't forget Mother's Day is on Sunday, May 11th - the day after we sail. So if you need to mail any cards or order flowers, etc. make sure you put that on your to-do list so you do not forget while we are all busy doing cruise stuff.

 

[gydell]

I know I'm probably too late, and you've probably already started - but GOOD LUCK!!!!

$275 in 3 hours! Now what can I spend it on?

 

[granmaz]

Don't mind me, I'm just grumpy most of the time now for quite some time. I read all the posts, but usually just have nothing to say. I know, that's not like me.

Deleted the rest because I shouldn't be whining about being down when others here have gone through and/or are going through major things.

Holly. Please don't feel bad about feeling how you do. It will make you feel guilty!! You are dealing with some big issues yourself, on your own, and if you can't come on here and say how you feel they you will feel worse.

I'm working on my clothes list.....and it looks like I have to take 6 pairs of shoes!! OMG!!!

I'm taking more than that , though only 2 will be more dressy.

Me too! There's so much to do, I'm starting to feel overwhelmed!

Me too. Can you believe it after having 400+ days too!!!

 

[gydell]

OK, a horrible week is over. But the good part now is that in a few hours it will be Passover. My favorite holiday of the year.

The bad news is that Sukie is REALLY sick. He's got some horrible head cold and a very bad sore throat.

There is no way he can go out today, nor go to the seder tonight. I think I am going to have to call to cancel, because I really don't want to leave him at home on his own. That is a complete bummer. I was really looking forward to tonight.

On the bright side I suppose, the seder tonight can be considered a "substitute sacrifice" (I'm translating into English and that is the closest I can come to the Yiddish word).

I suppose that the we are "substitute sacrificing" the seder tonight, a smaller event, to take the place of a larger event we are looking forward to, the cruise.

But he really is quite, quite ill.

I had a minor panic then until I realised our Mother's day was in March!!

Woohoo, well done. did you go round the neighbours(3,000 or more of them) and buy?

 

[HollyTyler]

Holly - as many of us have said before --- don't "not" say what you're feeling or thinking...we're here for you. I for one don't want ANYONE to feel like they have to "edit" their posts.

And remember ----- 3 MORE WEEKS!

Thanks Monica. OK, well here's my whine for the day. Just still been really down lately, with the exception of a few good days now and then. The condition of the inside of my house makes things worse. I used to be a neat freak and everything had to be spotless. Not sure what happened, maybe I got lazy, I don't know. Been trying desperately to motivate myself to clean. Have been trying to do so every weekend for a while. One weekend I did get on a cleaning kick, but that didn't last. It's definitely a mood killer to come home to clutter. Not an uplifting place to hang out in. I want to come home from work and be able to relax, not have my spirits drop the second I walk into the house. But then I'm here and the clutter brings me down, then I can't make myself motivated to do anything about it. I hate how down it makes me feel day after day. Makes me feel like sitting around and eating nonstop (comfort food) but then I keep getting bigger and bigger, which further brings me down. Don't know how to break the cycle.

I think the first step is to get a bunch of boxes and just throw EVERYTHING lying around into the boxes to be thrown out. I tried to donate stuff, but just never get around to loading up my car to take stuff somewhere. I figure if it was stuff I needed, I'd be using it, so it needs to be gotten rid of. But then I need to figure out what to do with the boxes because I think we have to pay to drop stuff at the dump. It's just too much for one person so I don't know where to begin.

Sorry to be such a downer, it's just that I can't stand the thought of getting off a wonderful vacation and walking into this house of clutter. How did it get this way? Not having a basement or extra bedroom for storage.

Hmmm......Tyler's a great helper and hates messes, so he'd be happy to help. And his OT says heavy labor (loading and moving big boxes of stuff) is really good for him. I guess we can start this when he comes home tonight.

Sorry to be negative......just very overwhelmed.

That is kind of wierd. Why get involved at all if you are not going to get involved? QUOTE]

Yes, I was on that cruise also. She or he, was only on the thread to stir up controversy is what I think. Many of us came to the conclusion that "she" was really "he" who had been banned from the DIS since "he" was on that cruise and posting lots of the same stuff on another web board. It was just silly and disruptive to our planning fun.

When you get a person like that it makes the planning no fun and the arguments that was caused. Yes this person was so negative to Disney and when the trip was over he/she made their point on everything he/she didn't like. It got so bad that some blocked this person posts so they would not see this persons posts. I never want to be on another board with he/she again and neither would you.

I am so glad that this time it has been a pleasure with this group of disers.

No I was too busy selling! And I don't need their stuff I have enough of my own.

I just looked at Pj's calendar and realized something....

It's now on Aruba day at 4pm (right?)

Looking just at the shorex that I booked myself (and I now know others are on too )....I won't be back until about 445p. How long is the room going to be ours??? I don't want to miss it!

HELP!!!

Fixed I just slide to far when I dragged it over. It's the 15th.

No No No the 15th is a sea day.....Aruba is on the 14th......the champagne girls are on the 15th which is a sea day before PC crossing day. It's ok. I wouldn't book it on a day in port.

I am afraid to check my pairs of shoes probably more than 6

I leave it until near the times

Thank you for the reply ladies!

Deb I knew that you wouldn't do that, but as you can tell I was nervous!

On my list now for the 15th (whew!)

Happy Passover, Happy Pesach!

Have a great Passover. Sorry to hear Sukie is sick. Hope he gets better soon. Sorry you have to miss your seder.

Holly,

I kept my house clean until I came down with depression. Then, like you, I couldn't get motivated and the house just got worse and worse which just made my depression worse. Now that I am feeling more in control I am hoping that I can get motivated again. Anyway, with everything you have on your plate, your house is a minor thing. Don't let it bring you down. It will always be there when everything else is taken care of. And don't feel bad about ranting here, everyone is more than willing to listen. From experience with the thread, it helps to be able to let it out.

Yeah! What she said! I had the same exact experiences.

I've had the same thing happen to me when it comes to crafting/scrapbooking. I am finally able to start THINKING about scrapbooking w/o going into a panic attack.....slowly but surely I will get there.

 

[EllaEnchanted]

Holly, don't beat yourself up about it. Just clean up one space and then feel good about it. If you can't donate it, throw it out. I saw how hard it was to donate things when we cleaned mom's house out. It wasn't worth it. My house looks like yours sounds, especially since we cleaned out mom's house. Now I have some of her stuff in storage and some all over my house. I still have all her stuff from the funeral laying out. I can't get rid of it and I don't know where to put it. So you are not alone!

Today my goal is to clean off the dining room table so that we can do a sit down dinner next weekend for Greek Easter. At least I'll have one cleaned space and it will make me feel better.
