COME ON!!! WE'RE SLIPPIN!!!!

WHERE IS EVERYONE??? VACATION???

 

[EllaEnchanted]

Hi Jan, how did you like the Dream? I loved it, but I like the Magic the best. I bet you got a lot of walking in during this trip. That's a good thing.

Hi Shell, sorry we're on page three. It happens. It's ok. We'll be back!

Hi Mon, are you recouperating after everyone just bombarded you? I wanted to ask you, if the real estate agent you used to find your house does lease rentals? We want to rent long term. It may be hard to find a good agency that does those. Any recommendations?

Hi Holly, how is Tyler? Did you guys have that meds review meeting yet? Is Chuck onboard now?

 

[EllaEnchanted]

Everything has calmed down in my house for now. I think we're back on track.....well sort of. Tom is moving to Pittsburgh by Christmas to live with Tiffany. That has not changed. But we had a pow wow and found out that Kris and the kid still want to stay here. So it could still work out afterall....the only thing I worry about is that Tom is the one I trusted to do the paperwork of paying the bills. I don't think the kid and definitely not Kris will be able to handle it. So time will tell if this is going to work out or not. My biggest concern is my dog and my cat. I need to find them good homes, but my dog is antisocial. She does not like strangers. I can't just leave her with anyone. At least I can leave her with the kid and Kris now.

Yes, psychiatrist appt was yesterday. Chuck is never on board. He was sure the doc would reduce meds and when Chuck mentioned it, the doc said "REALLY? After everything I'm reading that happened recently, you actually think I'd REDUCE meds? Are you serious?" The dr. was planning on increasing the meds until we told him that all the craziness has stopped and Tyler's back on track with having good days. He believes it was all due to major change in routine for the 2 weeks of testing at school, then it took an additional week for him to adjust back to his normal routine, and everything went back to being good for him.

So the end result of the appointment is that we keep the meds the same for now but might increase one of them at the next appointment at the end of January, increasing the med for anxiety because we're seeing that increase steadily since the beginning of the school year (well, I and the teachers have seen it increase, not clueless Chuck). The problem is that Tyler is used to struggling and failing, not doing well in school, that's all he knows, but now he's having major success with consistent improvements academically, it's all happening super fast, and he's overwhelmed because he's not used to doing well and doesn't know how to handle it. It's a good problem to have, but it's a big adjustment for him so it causes lots of anxiety. So the plan is to help him work through that without increasing meds for now and re-evaluate at the next appt in January.

So I'm super thankful that I had to reschedule the appointment twice because otherwise the doc would have reduced meds and all the events that happened recently would have been much more extreme.

Things are looking up! I hope it ends up working out.

Well you could always come on and say...

Page 2... we're getting better...

Just checking in... have to go crash for a little... still trying to get off the pain meds from when I had the kidney stone...

bbl..

 

[HollyTyler]

Considering doing more yard work today, but thinking I might just relax instead since I did so much yesterday.

And.......that's about it until I pick up Tyler.

 

[Tink rules]

Well, we did Olivers... nice day out... have to get around to doing some stuff, but I'm a bit achy today and I had to take 1/2 a pill... so we'll see what gets done..

Holly.. the bushes in the front of my house need trimming..

 

[HollyTyler]

Sure Michelle, you know how much I just LOVE yard work!

So I come home from vacation to find out that my Pocohontas doll is being held hostage in some UPS hub and that Tom is moving to Pittsburgh to live with Tiffany.

Now my plans have to change again. What do I do with Kris now? How long will they be staying here with me supporting them? Just to leave anyway and not take over the house when I move. Now I have get rid of the house and the pets before I can move.

At the moment I have a flipped mortgage.....I owe more than the house is worth. Like so many other people in America today....whose home values have plummeted. I was hoping that in time, with the boys taking it over, that it would turn around. I know it's not going to turn around in one year and that's all I have left.

John is not happy about it either. He's ready to leave everything now and go live in New Jersey for the last year so he doesn't have to commute.

Everything in life happens for a reason. I just have to keep telling myself that.

Best wishes as you figure out the plan!

Yes I like the MAGIC best also. DREAM is too big. Neat stuff to see and do but too crowded and noisy. Short cruises are too short. Quiet Cove was NOISY. I will give the FANTASY a chance as her cruises will be longer but my heart belongs to the MAGIC. We have spent way more nights on her also.

(we may do the DREAM for a DVC member cruise some time but even that I am not sure about)

Wow, thats way too early. I heard they used to do it all Thanksgiving weekend. I guess things have changed.

They do Castaway Cay at Thanksgiving, but the ship(s) is always decorated by the 2nd week of November (cruisers want to have their Christmas cards made, you know). Most of the Dream decoarations went up on 'transition day' of our B2B (Thursday). When we re-boarded the garlands were up in the atrium and the tree appeared between then and muster drill! This was also the fastest I've ever seen the gingerbread house go up too!


I'm home safe (but not too sound...have kennel cough!). Fabulous time, with all the family drama thrown in too (tears and laughter). Simone treated us like VIP's, champagne/sparkling cider one night, a fabulous cheese tray appetiser and he go us Palo brunch and dinner for our full party. He is adora-bello. Some of our favorite cast members were on vacation, Benita, Luis, AND Handsome Daniel sad1 who will be heading over to Germany and the Fantasy when his vacation is over.

Bubba, V and Nan....Mihilo is on the Dream now. We were all surprised to run into each other!

Private cabana on Castawy Cay was WONDERFUL, and the best 'excursion' money I ever spent. Di and I were able to spend the whole day at the beach with the younger and more active crowd.

Funny story, after lunch we tried to get 22 month old Meric to take a nap, so we put him in the pack-n-play (conveniently provided) and set it in the 'dressing area' so we could pull the curtiain around it. He could see me from one end so I closed my eyes and prentended to sleep, and he could see Peg on a lounger from the other side and she did the same. He kept walking back and forth and talking to himself then finally said, "Sleep? Why?" We agreed it was a good point and back to the beach he went!

OK, one more Meric story...we are on the shuttle going to the port and as we round the corner the little man (who is very mild-mannered) pointed to the Dream and said, "Get me on THAT!"

Off to take some Nyquil and sleep in my own bed!
Will catch up tomorrow!

Feel better Jackie! Welcome home!!!

 

[HollyTyler]

Jackie, Meric sounds adorable! Glad you had a great time, hope you feel better soon.

Well, I got an email about a free screening next week of the muppet movie.. and ALBANY was one of the theaters they were showing it!!! It's a sneak preview so I will go and see it next Monday...

But I'll have to go see it again... (gee.. make me suffer...) because my wonderful nephew Will wants to go to see it with his Aunt... and if that isn't love... (he's 15... and wants to be seen in public with his aunt...) We'll probably do lunch too. I let him get all the stuff his mom doesn't let him get!!!
