I hope you have a great time at Disneyland!

Thank you I know I will.
The last time I went to Disneyland was when my parents took us back in the 70's....... about 40 years ago!!! I'm sure everything has changed since then haha
Shirley pulled a muscle in her arm and is very weak, her daughter Betsy contacted me to let me know, so I thought I would let all of you know too.

You are welcome. Have fun at Disney!

I wish I had chosen yours since it's the only new one I like... at least I managed to get love bug and now I'm working on the shark one :P

Ouff, that sounds rough. What kind of work do you do? Hope you managed to get some rest at home.

what a kind son; shows he was raised by an incredible mom ;)

Kiss times are down as of midnight, yay!

Awwww that was so nice of you to say :) Thanks!
They will be picking me up on the 5th which is Nikolai's 28th birthday so I get to also celebrate his birthday too! We are staying there for 5 days..not at a hotel but an Airbnb in Santa Ana that has a pool and hot tub! WHAT? lol This sure is going to be a fun adventure. I feel like a little kid!! haha I even bought a swimsuit and I haven't been in one of those in like forever...

Try to take a few pics if you can... time flies when you're having fun. Especially with grandkids... they grow up so fast. I still have pics of my grandma when she visited when I was little... all grown up & she's watching over me, but the pics are ageless :)

I'll be taking hundreds of pictures, haha I'm also going to go back for a visit to Oklahoma in July or August, I want Rowan to know who grandma is!! Ya never know I may just move there on of these days. :)

nowadays with internet, video calls, etc. it's much easier to keep in contact long distance.

Gismo wanted to be on my lap and is looking at me like mommy it's past bed time, so I better let you go. hugs

Good night! Sweet dreams!! :)

I am a full nurse at home health care until today. Wednesday I start my new job in a nursing home.

Last 3 shifts in got waken up by calls and last night I could not sleep anymore due a nasty cough.... went out of bed around 4 am. Went to bed after work slept till 10am. Tired now.

Does anyone have any good ideas on how to stop being so congested/stuffed up? It's driving me crazy. The last month or so It's been really bad. I wake up miserable until I use my spray then I'm ok for a few hours until night. But today I was stuffy all day even after I used my spray. I don't know what else to do. I have a humidifier in my room for night time and I sometimes use a face one at night before bed. Nothing seems to be working.

I thought it might be something like that. My mom used to take care of elderly and some jobs she had to sleep over there certain nights. Not easy; however, definitely necessary. I hope your new job brings you more rest.

I have a few suggestions, feel free to try out if you wish.

-Netti pot: most pharmacies have them, it looks like a little teapot. It uses gravity to clean out your nose. If done on a daily basis helps reduce mucus. Important: use boiled water & use the little packets since everything is calebrated. Get porcelain (only a few $ more and can zap in microwave with a bit of water to clean).

-Menthol (if I spelled it correctly) or Vicks rub or other. The vapours help breath easier. Put a little under the nose and some on the chest. Ok you're going to smell like a medicine cabinet but you'll breath better.

-Careful with the humidity: too much makes it difficult to breath. Too little you'll dry up your nose and can get nose bleed. Try to have it a bit drier in the home & instead pour boiling water in a bowl, cover head with damp warm towel over the bowl, breath in. If you have some menthol/vick rub put a little in the water.

-Sleep head elevated, helps breath easier.

-If the mucus is coloured, see a doc since it's most likely infected and might need antibiotics to get under control. If it worsens, can become respiratory and other infections... my family doc knows me by heart and aggressively treats me because he's seen what happens when we go mild and it ain't good!

-Over the counter decongestants can help reduce mucus build up... but combine it with netti pot and increase chances even more.

Hope the ideas help ;)

I hope so to as my job really frustrated me... Long stry short glad be gone. I am really looking forward to tomorrow and start my new job.

you to?! Me to last weeks it's driving me nuts

I hear yah, mom had those types of places as well. Some can be great though so hopefully Wed's will be that for you ;)

I hope so to.

-crosses fingers-

Only way you'll truly tell is a few months in... at first people tend to try to be on their best behaviour and slowly their true selves show. Other times it's the administrative nightmare that isn't easily seen from the outside. There's no ideal job as there will always be something one isn't fond of; however, if the pluses outweigh the negatives then it's a good place ;) Enjoying what you do helps contribute to overall health. You'll do great! shakes pompoms, hugs

oh thanks hun!

Thanks for the ideas. I get nose bleeds all of the time since I was little. Trust me no fun. I'll try some of those and hopefully they help.

Yep. It's been months. I don't remember what it's like to breathe normal anymore.
