and speaking of pika -- here she is!  ta-da!!!  well, i was going to put that laughing dog here, but the pics aren't loading for me... :(

i have been missing all of you, too!  things are going well here...just seems i've been swamped with "stuff"??  got up this morning, took my meds and went back to bed.  woke up at 10, talked to jeff for a bit and went back to sleep again...not waking up until almost 4pm!!  guess i was pooped.  well, all i could think of all week was the weekend and maybe being able to catch some sleep.  :)   doing well with the CA, i'm on page 101 and ready to input the head start part, so almost done!  yeah and hallelujah!  the last one i did was only 100 pages long and i was trying to cut out so many charts (altho the boss loves them).  don't know how i got so many extra pages???  lol  oh, well.  i will be soooooooo glad just to be done with it.
anyway, all is well here.  i have the stress test on tuesday and thyroid ultrasound on friday, late afternoon.  my thyroid numbers are switching direction, but still wnl.  tsh is higher and t3, t4 going lower.  i am so tired of all these tests.
my girls went to a movie, out to dinner and then shopping.  good they are doing some things, just those two. 

i feel so badly not checking in more... but thoughts and prayers always with you all.  raine, so sorry about your back, praying it feels better soon.   jeff is off again with his back and his dr is telling him to start thinking about epidurals -  jeff says NO WAY!  not that he's stubborn or anything like that.  :(    i can tell so much difference having had the SI injection!  whoa!  i do still have some sharp pains once in a while, but overall - can walk better and longer, straighten up better, etc.  should have had this one first of all of them?!?!?  LOL

just wanted to say "hugsnluvyas" and let y'all know i'm still breathing.  :)

luvyas, pika
