Something About Nothing..........#11

[Bluer101]

Hello, it's cold down here stop sending so much our way, just a little please.

 

[schumigirl]

Every dentist in this village is absolutely swamped...(end of year insurance crap)...I also wanted to get new glasses before we left and I let that window close...I need to quit spending so much time "planning" our trips...and take care of things 'round here...(Mrs. Buckeev wholeheartedly agrees with THAT statement!!!)

Buckeev...........Trip stuff is so much more fun though..........you just reminded me I need to book my yearly eye test......I forget every year

Bluer........that's not what you're supposed to have in Florida. We have 2 degrees Celsius which is about 34 degrees Fahrenheit, but our real feel temp is -6celsius. It is bitterly cold again today.......I was born for warmer climes



Been doing some cooking today.....bought a big joint of beef yesterday, cooked it letting it cool then will slice it down and put in in portions and freeze. Doing the same tomorrow with ham joint. Love when both freezers are full to bursting


Trying to find some white hot chocolate........normal stores don't have it so will have to search online I think.

Have a great Thursday

haven't done any thinking about christmas yet, concentrating on a wedding this week.

i don't even have an idea if there will be a rehearsal dinner tomorow....
still waiting to get an email about it.


and, still watching for the mail truck everyday.
sooner or later Mr Mac needs to go to Ace hardware and buy a mailbox........


that warm spell we were due to get starting tonight isn't going to happen.
i'm with the other homies of cold weather.

hope all are doing fine.



Kfish thinking of you

 

[macraven]

it's friday an it's cold.


i was hoping when i woke up this morning it would be 70 degrees.
it must have been a dream..............

 

[schumigirl]

it's friday an it's cold.

Same here Mac..........very cold today. Even with my furry hat I was still cold....and met our closest Neighbor in our village and and he is Never cold.........he was wrapped up like he was heading to the North Pole.

I wish I lived in Barbados.

Spicy Pulled pork in a wrap tonight and sweet potato wedges.......decided against salad.............and I found somewhere I can get white hot chocolate

Hope everyone has a great weekend

It's not even 70 degrees here Mac. We were in the 50's here this morning and should be colder tonight. I know it's colder there but we can't take too much cold down here even though I'm really enjoying it.

 

[Mrs bluer101]

Oh by the way.... Mac how is the rehearsal dinner coming???? Hope all goes well this weekend!

since you don't have winters like we do, i'm sure it is miserable when it is in the 40's for you.

hang in there as your low temps shouldn't last all december.

once you have lived in warmer climates with mild winters, you just can't get used to the cold i imagine.

Hi everyone,

I want to say thank you for your thoughts and prayers. It still a very painful time period. Death of my grandmother, loss of my infant and Christopher fell down an entire flight of stairs (he is fine BTW)....has just made for a hellish 2 weeks. I still don't have any answers, my Dr. still is unsure...but we are still waiting on some tests. And the likelihood is that we may never know.

As awful as this entire thing has been, I have to say that I cannot stand when others tell you how you should be feeling. After the ordeal occurred, a pastor stopped in to offer prayers. Then a bereavement nurse. Then another nurse that wanted to sprinkle Holy Water on the baby. This put me more over the edge then anything else. I had accepted that this child never took a breath in this world, so I did not feel the need to say goodbye to it that way. I did not give a name, see it, nothing. Some people may think that is horrible, but it technically was not a person and I did not want to develop an attachment because I knew that I would have to let it go. My husband and I decided this would help us move on. And I made a realization just a day or so ago. I have been having sad moments, shedding a tear or two and researching on what could have gone wrong on the computer....and then I look down at my feet. The most gorgeous little boy is smiling at me and pushing for my attention while I am busy in my own grief. He is and should be my concentration and that I need to be focusing on what I have right now...more will come later. I am one lucky Mommy and I need to think ahead to next week and making his Christmas special and full of Florida magic (2 weeks of fun here we come!).

Sorry for the rant...I just needed to vent. But on a brighter note, after I saw my Dr. on Wed., we have been given the green light to start trying again once my body returns to normal.

Thanks again

 

[schumigirl]

KFish......you have continued good wishes and hugs from all of us.

You're right to do what's right for you. How you feel is so personal and yes there's nothing worse than someone telling you what you should do or how you should feel.

I'm sure you'll have a magical Christmas and trip too

 

[macraven]

Oh by the way.... Mac how is the rehearsal dinner coming???? Hope all goes well this weekend!

only 2 no shows for it other than that, the soon to be Mr & Mrs enjoyed themselves and the food.

i told them to pick the place they enjoyed the most and they did.


all i had to do was be there and pay the bill.
i had the easy part in all of last night.

went to Wendys after i got home.


going to have a busy day.
hope all youse homies behave yourselves here.......

 

[macraven]

Kfish,
still have you and your husband in my prayers.

thank you for sharing with us.

it's a tough time you are going through but when you have Christoper hugging your legs and looking up at you smiling, keep smiling back.

it is impossible to change the past.
you do what you have to do to move on.

hope you have a peaceful christmas.



teach the little guy to go down the stairs on his butt not head first......
that had to be a moment!

 

[Lynne G]

KFish, no need to feel bad about venting. All venting is allowed and thank you for sharing. No one can judge you, even if they think they have the right. I continue to send good thoughts and prayers to you and your family. Hugs to little Chris, I am glad he was not hurt. Toddlers can be so much fun. There will always be good and bad times. Losses are always hard, and each person has their own grieving period. Know that time does heal, and those memories will become sweet and will always be in your heart.

Mac glad the dinner went well. We did a 5 guys run today. Fried food is always good.

Bluers, sorry to hear about the cold weather. I remember my grandmother's house in Miami did not have a heater, as it never seem to get cold enough to use it. We are around freezing today. It was cold. Hope warmer temps are soon for you.


Dark night and time to chill. Hope all have/had a good night.

KF...
Continued prayers for emotional and physical healing .

Had another very lazy Sunday today. We all slept late.......had just one of those do nothing days.......I was supposed to be wrapping presents but didn't even get around to that..........had a nap this afternoon too. Tom says I slept for an hour along the sofa, it was so cosy in the house, I just dropped off watching some Christmas movie.

Did cook a large turkey crown for dinner tonight and plan to freeze some for the new year when we can't get fresh turkey......yes that sounds crazy! Love turkey!!

Been too cold to go anywhere today, not icy just a damp cold and windy too.......will go out tomorrow.

Hope everyone's having a great weekend

11 more sleeps

Your feelings are your own, however you best need to heal is the right way for you to proceed. Don't take offense by what you describe at the hospital, it's standard procedure for the course, many take comfort from the options they provide in that it helps brings them closure.

Sounds as though you have a great support system in place with your family. Enjoy your upcoming trip.

finally back home.
it was a sweet wedding this evening.

don't you hate when that happens?

hungry cats, not sweet weddings

now you're a MIL X 2, how cool is that?

carole - good old fashioned elbow grease instead of a kitchenaid mixer? oh nooos, not in my future lol.
