Molly love the pictures of your laundry room and of course of Megan. I need to do some painting around here. Once I finally convince myself to paint it never is as bad as I think it is going to be.

The laundry room is beautiful.
Dutt,
I have had to overcome fears like yours over the years. There were years when going to work was a major undertaking. I'd think I was going to faint and that the world was closing in on me. I learned the deep breathing routine and some biofeedback type things. Was also taught to imagine the worst thing that could happen and how I would handle it. Of course, the worst thing never did happen.
My mother is now like this and doesn't go out. Please don't let this keep you stuck.
I'm watching the girls state tournament. Two players from the same team just collided. Looks like a serious injury. Both teams are gathered at mid court, holding hands, crying and praying. The same time that lost these two players lost another player in the first half with a head injury. Team has now lost 3 starters in the state championship game to injury.

My 7 year old Nokia phone died today, so off I went to T-Mobile to get another basic phone. I don't text or do internet with my phone ... so I didn't need one with a $150 data plan that does everything except file my taxes, lol! I could qualify for a FREE phone if I changed our contract plan from $50/month to $80/month .... so, $30 more ... to get a "FREE" $70 phone. I opted to just write them a check for the phone and to keep my current value plan. The silliest thing? I could've paid $10 down and then dragged out paying for the phone (for just a $3 monthly service charge) for the next year. Seriously? $36 "interest" on a $60 purchase? They actually seemed surprised that I kept insisting (1) I didn't want a "nicer" phone and (2) I didn't want to take 12 months to pay for it.
Glad you liked the photos ... sorry that they are so ginormous. Photobucket USED to resize them automatically, but they updated their website and now I can't figure out how to make that happen automatically.
Went to the grocery store today and picked up some basics for the weekend and beyond ... eggs, milk, bread, etc. I still have tomatoes and cabbage and apples and bananas .... but bought asparagus and broccoli and some 3-bean salad, too. Still coughing up a lung.

Hello all! It's been a busy few days. Molly, sorry to hear you are under the weather. My folks are both sick also. Had to sit next to Mom and the dinner we had for DD on Wednesday. Oh joy. Love the pics of your paint and sink updates. Kitty is cute too! Dutt, I feel for you. I have issued going places also. I do the deep breathing techniques, and keep telling myself that nothing is going to hurt me, I know what to expect, no one is going to bite me, etc. And I also ask God to help me get through it, because I can't do it without him. It all helps. Just keep reminding yourself you are with your family and you will all have a great time. Good luck! We had dinner for DS Wednesday night with both families. I've always gotten along well with the ex's family, so it was nice to see them. I had taken the day off Thursday and Friday was my normal day off, so it ended up DD and I went to see DS at school Thursday and spent the night. It was good to see him, but he's hating alot of stuff about life right now. I think a lot of it has to do with the winter time seasonal disorder, as well as being in such close contact with others at his school. He and one of his roomates weren't talking, and he took the high road and asked him why he was upset with DS. They ironed it out, but the guy still irks him. He's home next Friday for Spring break, and I think that will help. At this age, it's hard to make them understand that most things suck at some point, you just have to pull up your adult pants and muscle through it. I guess that's a learning point we all have to learn in our own time. No bad weather around here, just a little on the chilly side. We did see a bunch of daffodils growing on the side of the road yesterday, so that's encouraging

Thank you ladies for your input. For some reason I will pray for everyone else, but never for myself. So I prayed yesterday with instant results that removed a bit of anxiety. Enough that I could think a bit more rationally. I will do the Pslam 91 today and breathing (which I used to do) I've never been sure what biofeedback is, but I'll research it today. I decided not to do the spa there and just hang around the kiddos in the lazy river. For some reason making that decision relieved some of the anxiety too. So this week I'll go to get the first pedicure for the season. MOLLY: Meagan is too cute. What a smartie girl she is. Will she teach the other cats to drink from the faucet too? I also noticed you are a color kitty. Two of our DDs are too and I call them crows. Whenever they show me something colorful I say 'Caw caw". It's the expected response.

Dutt, keep up the good work! I hate people touching me, and don't like my private space invaded, so although I know my body would love a massage, I don't do it. I absolutely love the lazy river, you can't go wrong with that!
I bit the big bullet today and am in the process of of defrosting my big freezer. It's not a huge one, but it had a lot of ice built up on it. Hopefully it will be more efficient. I have Mason's leashes on a holder next to the freezer, and you have to be careful not to get one stuck in the door. I have kids that aren't too careful, so hence the ice. I have thought seriously about not hooking it up and see if it affects my electric bill, but I have too much stuff that wont' all fit in my fridge freezer. I've been trying to get a little stock up of meat and frozen veggies to help with the furlough. So, haven't decided, but I have a large cooler and a small cooler, and the fridge freezer full, so I might not really have a choice right now. The freezer is 13-14 years old, so not sure how efficient it is any more.
I have been watching Too Cute on Animal Planet this afternoon. Not much on tv, and can't leave the house because of defrosting. They had Portugese Water puppies on the last episode. I've told DD she ought to think about one when she gets to a place where she can have a dog (she wants one of her own really bad). She wants a dog a little bigger than Mason because she wants it to be able to run with her. Since they don't shed, I think it might be a good choice. Now there are cute kitties on. Good way to brighten your day!

My cell phone company can't understand why I don't want a fancy smart phone either. I don't want to be that tied to a phone. I see people out in public reading things on their phone and missing out on the world around them. I absolutely don't want to be like that.
I do enjoy massages. I've been getting them for years and years. I feel so much better afterwards. I have learned over the years the masseuses have seen everything and don't judge. That makes it okay.
I probably should get out and do something tomorrow as it's to snow again Monday and Tuesday. I have to go to town on Monday as it's my volunteer day and one client will need her money. Hopefully, it won't be snowing too badly when I go to town.
I bought a night's hotel stay and two massages and $40 credit at the hotel restaurant from Travel Zoo as a Christmas present to myself. So once I get to town on Monday, I'm staying overnight. I may call them to see if I can stay Tuesday if the weather is really bad since I'm supposed to babysit on Wednesday.
One of my nephews had a roommate when he was a freshman in college that he didn't get along with. I've never heard specifics aside from the guy just quit coming to the room at all. He didn't return for the second semester, but never officially did anything with the college, so my nephew had his own room that semester. He did have to do all the cleaning out. He called the guy to come get his stuff, but he never did. That is how my DS's sons acquired their dorm bunk and fridge. My DN did not want to be charged for stuff being left in the room.

My wonderful DH is bored and shopping in Texas. (smile) This is never a good sign, lol. Oh well ... it's his money and I'm the spender and he's the saver, so he won't buy much. Two more weeks and then he'll be home again. Hopefully, I won't still be sick by then.
Lovely weather here, but I slept through most of the day, with Miss Cricket, Emily and Tigger on the bed. They like it when mom naps. Of course, they do poke me for petting, but that's OK! (grin)

Well, this is positive! I opened our annual renewal for our homeowner's insurance (due April 21) and our annual premium went down $164! YAY! I get rather accustomed to things going up ... so when something goes down, it's a smile-worthy occasion. Because we bought our house in April and got married in April, we always have a bunch of insurance-type bills due in April, which makes it a month we sort of "brace ourselves" and save for. (Homeowners insurance, flood insurance, earthquake insurance, life insurance for my wonderful DH, etc.)
I am still coughing/wheezing up a storm, and having "tummy issues," so my plan for the next few days is more laying low. Dinner was pretty simple: some grilled pork, a cheese booreg, and an apple. Let's see how that does. I thought lunch was pretty simple, but had tummy issues after a turkey sandwich, artichoke, and some red potato salad. Anyway, I've got quiche for tomorrow, maybe that will help calm things down? What I really want is my wonderful DH to be here and pamper me just a bit ... but we're two weeks away from that. Oh well. Onward and upward!
I didn't go to Petco adoptions today, but heard through the grapevine we did 4 or 5 adoptions... yay.

Molly I am one of the 'senior' citizens here and I do not think I haver ever heard of a home/auto/whatever insurance bill going down IF it was with the same company.
The month of Feb was colder than avg. My gas (heat) bill certainly reflects that. However, we are forecast for hitting early spring Temps on thur w/highs above normal. We'll have to see how much that ends up being delayed.
first weekend of the month so time to flush sink drains and sharpen knives.

Wish you would start feeling better, Molly. We're predicted for 6-10" of snow between overnight tonight and Tuesday afternoon. I will get up early in the am and head to town to meet my two rep payee clients, fill car with gas, have lunch and head to hotel. I'm not even trying to come home until I'm done babysitting on Wednesday. Have several things I have to do to get ready this evening. Lucy won't be happy, but she will survive two nights without me. I will be watching/listening to my Colorado basketball team this afternoon play their final regular season game of the year. Next weekend is the Pac 12 tourney in Seattle. No, I'm not going. Last weekend of March, CU hosts the 1st and 2nd round of NCAA tourney and should be playing at home.

We had a beautiful gorgeous day today and I just was not in the mood to work outside. I did putter around the house all day and got several things done, bills paid, coupons sorted and filed, papers shredded, you get the idea. It has been a nice down time type of day. My lunch is mostly made for tomorrow, just need to add a sandwich and I am ready to tackle the week.

I got to listen to my Colorado women's basketball team get a thrilling overtime win this afternoon! That was the highlight of the day for me.
The bad news is that their games in the Pac 12 tournament start at 10:30 PM my time. They didn't ask me if I wanted to switch conferences. My vote would have been a resounding no for this very reason.

theotherme Congrats to your team. Think afternoon nap so you can see the game.
Our snow is predicted to hit very late tonight (I run about 12 hr behind theotherme) and WAAAY into Tue. As I recall we are looking at 3-6 inches.
My plan is to get all my shopping & errands done today. That leaves the 'usual' culprits for Tue (&Wed?) like laundry & cleaning. I did SOOO much cooking last week that it is MUCH needed to work on entree portions that I have frozen.

Good Morning Everyone Holly, I think we are in the 3-6 inch range for our snow as well, it is not doing much right now but is supposed to last into tomorrow as well. At least the temps aren't so bad (mid twenties) I can live with that.

::: refrains from mentioning 70 and sunny today, 75 and sunny tomorrow :::
I'm still coughing.
Got my haircut this morning. Held my breath so I didn't cough on her (and I brought her a mask, in case she wanted to wear it ... she smiled and said nope.) Gave her an extra nice tip for putting up with me.
Wrote the check out for our homeowners insurance ... waiting til this afternoon to mail it (hoping the mailman actually comes when I'm looking so I can just walk it out to him.)
Need to pick up a RX and groceries, but used all my energy getting my hair cut. (No worries, have lots of food in the house!) Maybe tomorrow.

theotherme Congrats to your team. Think afternoon nap so you can see the game. Our snow is predicted to hit very late tonight (I run about 12 hr behind theotherme) and WAAAY into Tue. As I recall we are looking at 3-6 inches. Definitely a nap, followed by one on Saturday so I can hopefully need to watch the 2nd round game. It's an online broadcast with no archive, so it's live or I wait until morning and just find out what happened. We have moved up to number 18 in the rankings today. I'm so proud of this team and young coach. We will be even better next year. We do lose our very best player, but it will be a more balanced team. Today's snow was a bit of a lot of fuss about nothing where I live. I even left early when it started snowing at 8 AM. It was over by 10:30 AM. However, it's to start snowing again about midnight and snow until tomorrow evening--about 10 inches is still being forecast. I visited with two of my rep payee clients today. My schizophrenic lady is the reason I had to come to town. She would not have had any money until Wednesday if I hadn't. Again, she wanted me to go to a certain bank and get her million dollars because she is the K-Mart heiress. She had a new one today. She lost some gold bars and the police called that they are at the police station. She wanted me to go pick them up. I told her neither the bank nor the police would release anything to me. She left mad as she does every month. Then I went to visit my elderly client. She was all upset because one of her knees is bothering her and she's going to need surgery and she might die during the surgery. I was there about an hour and she spent most of the time crying. I am not a therapist and don't know if I helped her or not. Her knee is very swollen, but I don't know if a knee replacement would be done on an 88 year old woman who is afraid of dying on the surgical table. Apparently her knee had locked up last evening and that is what scared her. She had already called the doctor and has an appointment for next week. This woman has money, but she thought if she has to go from the hospital to a nursing home for a month or so to rehab, she'd go on Title 19. No, she'd have to be in the nursing home for quite some time before that would kick in. She did say she does not want to give up her apartment.

theotherme Re client w/knee issue: Not sure if they would do surgery on someone here age. Depends on the rest of her health. Also, the BIGEST issue w/any surgery is usually anesthesia. Around here they do NOT use a general but do a caudal block (similar to childbirth). MUCH less dangerous. There is a newish treatment which involves injecting a lubricant. Not sure if/how medicare handles or if it is generally available. Have an 81 y/o friend w/knee issue. Do need to mention this to him. I would bet it is available here w/all our MAJOR medical centers & teaching hospitals.
My Dad had a knee done at 75. Spent 1 or 2 weeks in rehab. Medicare + gap paid for EVERYTHING inc about a month more of outpatient rehab.
It is after 6:30 am and so far NO snow here. Per last night's news worst is supposed to be 9 am ish to 3 pm ish. Still calling for 10 in. All but 4 cars did park on the correct side (odd for the 5th day of the month) last night. We only have 3-5 cars on the whole street during weekday working hours.
Went to the library on Sun. Sure enough when I go home after grocery shopping Mon there was a message that my last reserve is waiting for me. IF the snow is later I will pick it up today. If not, I'll wait until Thur or Fri.

We have about 4 or 5 inches of fluffy snow on the ground. However, they are still predicting the winds to pick up tonight and drift all this stuff.
I know this woman has had lung cancer and has several other health issues. I don't know all the specifics because my volunteer work only covers paying her bills. I was told in EE that Medicare would cover her while she is in a nursing home getting rehab and therapy. I know she was going to call her health insurance Medicare gap program yesterday. Hopefully, they straightened her out on the finances of such a surgery.
I have had to sign the paper a few times on the anesthesia and all the stuff that can happen to you. If you read them, they scare you out of your wits. I also had a friend die during a procedure getting her wisdom teeth pulled. Dentist overdosed her and there was a major lawsuit and he lost his license. Any of that stuff can go wrong. It doesn't very often, but it can. The way she worries, we shall see what she decides to do. Her doctor's appointment is March 12.

Hello peeps . DD is having dinner with her father, stepmom and grandmother tonight, so I had tacos. Love em as usual! She didn't want to do dinner but just go over and see them for an hour last night, but she was over ruled. I'm off tomorrow to spend the last day with DD before she heads out on her big adventure! Kind of bittersweet, but glad I have a job that I can take off when I want. Of course, they have already closed the office tomorrow until 10, and we aren't predicted to get the big stuff that DC will be getting. Oh well. I plan on sleeping in tomorrow. Our computers have been down for the last week. Talk about pissing contests. We get stuck in the crosshairs every time. I have been doing training on another computer, so it actually worked out for me. The course is 32 points, so it's not a one hour and done. I'm 2/3 of the way through, so that's a good thing. I'll only need one more point to fulfill me job requirements, and I don't need it til July. Woohoo!

I think I got a bit of a sunburn on my shoulders today ... I was sitting out front with a book, watching the birds/squirrels. We've got three days of rain coming, though. It was 75 and really nice outside ... and I was hoping that the fresh air and positive ions and Vitamin D would help!
My cough's not really getting better yet, augh. I am on Day #4 of meds (just in case it might help ... ) and I'm still coughing and wheezing. Sheesh. I hate being asthmatic ... respiratory bugs are the worst! I didn't get anything practical accomplished today other than some reading, some sunshine, and posting cute cat photos on Facebook. Oh well... no worries, right? I did water some plants out front and swept the sidewalk ... it was covered with falling blossoms. And I brought in the big trash can and recycling can. OK, I wasn't a total lump ... it just feels like it!
Tomorrow (Wednesday) I must make a grocery store run, and pick up an RX at CVS.

I am ready for Friday, bring on the weekend. My nephew still is not in the states from his deployment. He has been stuck in Kuwait for some time now. Last night he said that he would be flying to Germany on Friday and he is scheduled to be in Germany for a week. He doesn't seem to know what the hold up is other than they just don't seem to be moving him. He did say that they don't have him doing anything they are just hanging out in Kuwait.

Snow hit about 9:30 pm. Think we got between 8-10 inches last night. Warm up pushed from Thur to weekend-so far. I just had to break off here to go out, clean off the car & move it to the correct (even) side of the street for today. I was thinking about going to Walgreens today since it is Senior discount Day BUT...........
motherto2 I made chicken fajitas yesterday. Had/have a bunch of cooked chk in the freezer from cooking last week.
Sharon Wonder if they are flying fewer planes point to point due to the budget cutback issue(s).
Molly Right now I think I could hate you but come July/Aug/Sept & prob may/June too I would NOT want to be where you are. Really cannot complain too much as the last 2 winters have been WAAAAY warmer & less snow than usual. Think this year has been warmer too, except for Feb & I think we are still under avg for snow.

Since I was in town staying at the hotel, I got to clean off my car this morning. I'm guessing there was a good 7 or 8 inches of heavy, wet snow on it. As I was driving to my first errand, the phone rang. I don't answer when I'm driving. When I got to my stop, I listened to the message. GN is sick and DN had to pick her up and go home to take care of her. I had DN's birthday card with me as her birthday is tomorrow. After I finished running errands, I ran that by. When I talked to her on phone, she wasn't convinced GN was sick. She was when I was at the house as she was sound asleep. She never sleeps in the morning. Whey they got home, she said she wanted to sleep. That isn't like her at all.

I am ready for Friday, bring on the weekend. My nephew still is not in the states from his deployment. He has been stuck in Kuwait for some time now. Last night he said that he would be flying to Germany on Friday and he is scheduled to be in Germany for a week. He doesn't seem to know what the hold up is other than they just don't seem to be moving him. He did say that they don't have him doing anything they are just hanging out in Kuwait. That's pretty normal, unfortunately. My wonderful DH either got stuck in Kuwait or Qatar after most deployments. It's part decompression time for stressed soldiers, and part just logistics not in place to get people home.

The weather today is not too good. High winds and rain, turning to sleet and hail, then back again. The roads will be ice tonight. SIL works the night shift and drives about 30 miles to get to work. At least criminals won't be out tonight. He'll have to still drive around his area to look for crimes in the making.
Stay safe.

I picked up my RX at CVS and some groceries at The Market. Looks like I'll be eating chicken, potatoes and asparagus for the next two nights for dinner. I'm also really well-stocked for bananas. I didn't actually eat breakfast this morning, so I grabbed a breakfast burrito from the Market for lunch.... I sure hope that doesn't mess up the space-time continuum or anything. A yay .... asparagus was on sale for $1.50 a pound! Speaking of time ... Daylight Savings Time "Spring Forward" is this weekend. Got an email from the national military pay people .... they said to expect corrected w-2s by April 15. Sheesh .... that delay seems rather pathetic to me. It hasn't actually rained here yet, but it LOOKS like rain.

Corrected W-2s by April 15. More incompetence, imo.
I received a corrected Form 1098 today and prepared the 1040X. Nice federal and tax refund due to that corrected form. Going in mail tomorrow.
