INSOMNIACS place to talk in the wee hours

Hi Spookiesmom…DH is faculty at UGA. Jittery Joes is still open but the Weaver closed due to financial issues. We still have several places to get Southern food that IMO are better than Weaver D's. I am a native Georgian and Athens has become my favorite town to reside. Not too much traffic and always something to do, mainly because of UGA. Let me know when you want to visit!

Well I heard about her head injury, but didn't know that's what TBI stood for! Thanks for 'splaining it all to me again.

Remember, I had one of those when I was about 15.... but look now normal I turned out? CRS, but I am normal, as normal can be.... Ha!

Spookiewithablanket, andknowswhatit'sfor.... It is NOW 34 degrees out! And trying to snow.

Snow is what it does here in these parts in the Winter. Winter is a time of year when it snows.... for most normal States. No wait.... it is now 31 degrees. Snow is water that really gets hard when it is cold..... and it comes down from the sky....

Snowflakes are tiny little jewels that either float, or come down so hard, they blow your face off.

So preferably, most normal people stay IN, and don't get out in that stuff. And cover up with blankets..... And drink.... I'm going to fix a big cup of HOT tea.... Apple Cinnamon.

Oh here I am reading about the cold and a blanket when it's in the 50's--Holy chit it's colder tht an witch's nose (I cleaned it up) and Miss Chevy what does that mean when it's trying to snow, is that like constipation in the clouds or something, r the clouds are fighting, either it's snowing or not--u CO eople are all snowbrained cuz u'r state is known for it.

Doxie u'r in GA what a beautiful state, I always think of peaches not snow---OK u'r the one arm bandit? That is painful, but u can still use slot machines so always be thankful.for the little things.

Blondie I hope u'r resting now--(((HUGS))) always

OK sas has me totally confused and that's so simple to do but I'm really confused, but that's all right I'm used to that State and I actually live in IL--do u gals realize I've been working my little job for a yr now. ONE YEAR and still doing the same mistakes, and still asking if I'm getting fired. But like chevy they understand my thinking and put up with my spelling and transposing of numbers--it always the last 2 so I just told them if they have a wrong number just change the last 2 numbers and don't bother me with that. I'm so sweet.

Bcky I hope u got some rest--we're all here for u and rant, ask questions feel free about anything u say and feel comfort here. And Bcky maybe for now try to keep off the threads that explain way to much, it sounds scarier than what it is.

PK gotta get to work now.

Okay, weather update.... I know Sass and Spookie will get a kick out of this.... 4 hours ago, it was 64 degrees here.... Now it is 21! WTH?

Snow is pretty though.... I have to go put salt on the slick places out back....

It's 80 degrees here. You can tell the SW wind is feeding into something. It is just howling. Goaties are having a leaf eating feast.

Ah, she's such a little smarty-pants! And SHE is freezing! Poor baby....It is now 19 degrees here now. Go get a blanket!

A blanket is what you need little Spook.... WE have a "blanket" of snow here now.... Snow is actually calcified water..... coming from a cloudy sky.

I'll send you a picture, because you have probably never even SEEN any.

You know, one time when we were in Orlando in Celebration, after Dinner at that one fun little restaurant, we were outdoors, and they made it "snow!" It really was beautiful out. It was almost Christmas, so they had everything decorated, and somehow made "snow" from soap! Little flakes of "snow!"

Yes, it was slippery, but so pretty out....not like here... This is not pretty.... and very cold... Cold is when.......

I DO TOO KNOW WHAT SNOW LOOKS/FEELS LIKE.

I grew up in Cincinnati. Maybe you've heard of the Reds, or Bengals? Snow is one of the MAIN reasons I moved. I hate that chit. Sas grew up farther north than me. She knows about snow too.

Sas, Rose was in St A, I think she went home

Today was breezy and Cold maybe 62? I got out to Talbots state park at the dunes and the skies were so dark and threatening, winds blowing, the skies spritzing. I figured any bird watching was history. It was lovely with the white caps and dark sky and light sand. I guess the storm down here is giving everyone else in the country a whopper of cold snap. Have to say the marshes here are gorgeous. (Northern Florida)

Had to find a nice thick blanket last night and couldn't sleep for beans - up until 3 Am!! Blurry eyed this morning 3 cups of java and still stumbling and incoherent. pathetic. Got wrapped up in this stupid book fascinating, surprised I could focus on the print at that hour. So I feel for you all who are stranded sleepless in Seattle... or Sacramento or Detroit or NY... it's having no estrogen!

Poor Becky - I feel your misery. Vent and vent some more. Take someone with you to your appointments. Write things down and take them with you so you don't forget. If you don't want a mastectomy, don't get one. Research everything first before you sign up. I wish that I had never done chemo it hurt me far more then it helped me - hind sight is always 20/20 but that isn't everyone's story - weigh your options. There is no hurry! You really can take your time get a second or third opinion and mull over what to do. don't rush. Breast cancer is not like a brush fire where seconds count and you can poof go up in smoke - you have time to carefully consider treatment options. Ask folks on the the threads (once you get your path report) what options you are given and benefits and risks for the different paths. The gals will share their observations and you can learn so much by listening and seeing what is done around the country. Ask for some anti anxiety meds to help you sleep if you are open to that. The first couple months so suck - I'm sorry. Hang in there!

I love your posts Chevy - make me laugh. The snow thing is terrific.

Hope you are warm and resting comfortably Blondie! Night everyone - well for now. I might be back..

I have a CT scan of the chest, abdomen, and pelvis in the am. I have been talking myself down. I think this is overkill and they won't see anything that wasn't seen on previous scans. However, I have this irrational fear that if I'm not worried it's has to be bad. I'm getting stressed out.

nope, not cheating!

We had a bit of rain Sat nite. Not much.yesterday and today were just about perfect. And it's more than 2-3 hours. Sas said its been raining on her too.

Did you make it to the Space Center? That's a really neat place, not all that far from you

No - no space center. I am just going to need to come back. I really wanted to see Okefenokee Swamp and take a birding tour but I didn't read the fine print closed Sun and Mon off season... ack. Hope I get a next time. I have heard those slow motor boat tours are very cool.. I just love all the historical stories and information. All new to me and very interesting. Goodnight owls!

Rose…I am a Georgia native but I have never been to the Okefenokee Park. I do not like gators. What part of Oregon are you from? My DH and I have a home on the Central Oregon Coast, Yachats. Are you near there?

Hope I get to sleep better tonight. It is always a challenge. What cocktail of meds will I try tonight? Usually just benadryl

Nitey nite
