What are you up to at the moment?
Reading for a while and taking it easy.
So Cindy if you're at risk to that extent you've got some time before you go back to work? I mean is it even save for you to work at the moment?
No, I can't work right now Angie. I'm thinking about seeing an attorney to help me get disability. Right now I have to go to the doc twice a week, so it would be hard to keep a job. If I work, it will have to be some other job besides in a warehouse. The atrial fib is unpredictable and my heart is subject to go from a normal sinus rhythm to the atrial fib without warning. It is very frustrating because this is the reason I am passing out. Plus, God help, if I got a job where I nicked myself on a box cutter or something. The blood thinners will make you bleed a lot if you're not really careful.
That's so worrying Cindy, I hope you're getting help from your community. I know that your minister was a help to you a few weeks ago. Get that attorney seen, I can't imagine you wouldn't be allowed disability.
Thanks Angie. I'm just gonna concentrate on doing what the docs say right now. When I go to the doc on Monday, I'm gonna ask him about working and the disability thing.
Oh, wow, so sorry to hear that, Cindy.
Kate-Its just a retail store. Im working in the linens and gifts department:)
I enjoyed working part time when my boys got to about 2 and 3 Addy . I worked as a waitress for a few years and it was good having grown ups to talk to again.
Just got back from a walk. It is a breezy day, made me realize i need a haircut because my hair was blowing all over the place.
Watching SNL & World Dumbest w/ my man...
Just finished watching a great soccer game and my team won! Go Barcelona!
Surfing the web, looking up random stuff.

I'm just messing around on goodreads but I can hardly see the keyboard now as its really late. Its 4.47am. I so need to fix my insomnia!! I'm going to turn of and make some hot chocolate so good night guys:-)
Has anyone read Zombie Fallout? My sister came over 2day telling me about it. She says it hilarious and that I need to read it.
Thats one I have but not yet read, its only 49 pence for the kindle copy:) so its meant to be funny, I'll have to read it soon. Have you read Jordan's Brains: A Zombie Evolution Joycedale? That one had me laughing in so many parts of it!
I hadn't heard of it, its on my list now.
Yes, Im enjoying it Kate, but now I feel like I'm in a slump in my home life. Between paying bills, cleaning house, and taking care of kids, I feel like time is running from me. My husband works alot, but he does his share. Finding a balance is so hard right now. Uhg!
It does get like that for mums of kids who also have to work doesn't it Addy! I never used to have time to myself except later on at night. Things do get easier when the kids get a bit older though:)
Thanks Angie! Its good to know that others have been through this and that it will get better and easier. Really needed to hear (read) that:)

And I used to think that it would get easier when they got older. Was I ever wrong.
Sorry Daniel, I should of included Dads in what I wrote:) Things change when they get bigger, but different problems take over. My kids are grown up now and its nice to have spare time.
When does that begin, then? Ha.....As mine get older, they tend to more activities. Good thing is, I keep books in my car for when I need to wait as part of my driver/dad function.
I always found car journeys to be the most stressful times, its hard to keep kids entertained when you're driving!
I use that time to have great discussions on deeper subjects.
Daniel, don't say that! I need a little bit of hope...lol, who am I fooling? I know as they get older, so do the problems, unfortunately.
Addy wrote: "Daniel, don't say that! I need a little bit of hope...lol, who am I fooling? I know as they get older, so do the problems, unfortunately."Ooops. No, it gets much, much easier. :)
I am clearing my mind from all the worry and stress and just simply gonna read for a few hours. Sounds like a good plan to me. And, the sun is shining even though it was snowing two hours ago. Crazy weather.
Addy I did find it easier when they got older, like I got myself a bike and I used to take my boys out on rides. And we would have great times, I'd pack picnics and be out for hours:) That started when they were about 7and 8 and we did that until they were 15/16. We cooked together when they got home from school, and they helped with my cakes. Lots of things, I'd think of activities we could do together, so yes the problems change but I do think it gets easier:-)
Haven't got much reading done lately. Went to court with my grandson today and they temporarily placed him with me. We'll see how that goes. Want to read for a bit if nothing slows me down.
Good luck with your grandson Cindy. Hope you get to do some reading today.Finished
; what an awesome book! Can't wait to read more by Joe Hill!
How old is he Cindy? Mine is 14 now, so already bigger than me.
Thanks Angie. Its nice to think about:)
Freaking out a little bit about the storm outside. We're in a tornado watch and if the sirens go off I'm afraid I won't hear them over the storm
I was just checking out my interactive radar and it looks like there is a current tornado warning over in Missouri. We were supposed to be under a slight risk but the dew point is way too low and the temp change hasn't been that drastic.
Got back into A Game of Thrones; so glad I did! Can't wait to get to the next one.I wish the sun would come out....
I know Holly. It is dreary as hell here. Cloudy and much colder than it has been. Just makes me want to sleep.
I hear you on that Cindy. There hasn't been any sunshine here in 3 days. It's starting to feel very depressing.
It is depressing. Today is supposed to be the last cold day for a while. This coming week we're supposed to be in the 60's and 70's. I definitely want to get out and take the dog for a long walk.
That sounds nice. I hope the weather warms up here, too. I'd love to get out and take a nice walk to the library.
Thinking about taking a nap for real. Need to finish these books in the next couple of days. Then I'm focusing on ONE at a time. Pinky promise!
Lol Cindy.What are you reading these days?

I'm not diabetic Chuck. I'm on blood thinners for life now because of my heart (Atrial fib - irregular rhythm). They can't seem to get my blood thinned out enough with just the Warfrin, so I have to give myself shots to supplement the pills. They have me on the blood thinners because I had a stroke three years ago and with the atrial fib and high blood pressure I am extremely high risk for another stroke.
