No, I didn't move it up till today. And neither did Neaksis, once she realized she'd have all 7 kids by herself as their mother prepared to gallivant, and I worked my last shift before the great adventure. So I'm working all night, taking a nap while Neaksis and Neak pack the vehicles, then getting up to drive 3 hrs. to the coast. I'm taking all the boys, who need (and will receive <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />) heavier policing. Neaksis can take the girls, the baby, and Grandpa. I am going to be SO ready for bed by tomorrow night. I just got up, and I'm ready already. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> t&l

Ok, tomorrow then.
I always want to say "have fun at work," but I manage to stop myself.
But then......... I suppose you COULD have fun.

I think sometimes about all the pain in the world. I hope we can ease that here, even if only a little bit.

It was 14 injections. Feel better. Today was the first time in years when it didn't hurt the bottom of my right 'cheek', in the ischeal tuberosity area, to sit in my chair at work.....and the pain around my scapula is greatly decreased. However, my traps still feel bad. And my bum muscles are sore from one of the injections. The chiro who saw me today said it all moved SO much better and easier.

What a flushable night. And my reward for surviving it? I get to go camping!!!!!!!! Generous Neaksis is allowing me an hour or so to nap before we start out. Someone remind me to feel grateful. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> t&l

This is "oh reevoyr" for now, just in case I don't have a chance to come on again before I leave. I'll be in touch as I am able, and will bring back at least a few pictures. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

hi gang! Aussie is asleep so a quick update. Looks as if he's been in a big tumble dryer and is really black & blue all over with lots of scrapes. A few other things but I'll see how things go. At least he's home & pretty well ok in the circumstances. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/pfft.gif" alt="" /> Neak hope the trip is ok .... and TL & Neaksis .... GOOD LUCK lol <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> write to you soon .. drive carefully and have some fun gang! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> hugs to all - rella you seem to be really having a bit of abd run lately but then backs are a bugger once they start playing up. Look after yourself on that one! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/ooo.gif" alt="" />
Life may feel as if you are constantly getting kicked on a daily basis, living is about picking yourself up each day and going on and on and on regardless.

A few other things......... is so wide open.
I hope everything still works, and he's not missing any parts.
We pray often for all of you.
T&L,
I'm jealous that I can't go camping this weekend, but I'll get to in two more weeks, and I can probably go that long without my "fix."
I'm glad you go, the kids will remember the fun they had long after the aches, and pains are gone. (And of course, these aches and pains will replaced by new ones.)
Cinders, my Doc told me "they'll fix all that in the resurection." He couldn't give me a date though, told me to tough it out. I hope you do better for a while.
Bye Neak. See you when we can.
Hi Neaksis - do you like camping more than your Mom does?
Even with kids?
How's the baby doing?
Almost the weekend. Glad I get a few days off.
Not much changes, but they say a rest is as good as a change. We'll see.

I feel so much better it isn't funny. Not totally ache free. But I bet I feel better than Aussie. However, I bet he feels wonderfully good to AW. The Neak family is gone for the weekend. I leave Wednesday morning to go to a 3 day conference. Human Resource Conference for state personnel people. At one of our many luxurious (?) state parks. Don't know who I'm rooming with. Don't know if I'm staying in a room at the lodge or in a cabin w/ several people. Just know I am supposed to take my folding chair for the bonfire - but today they announced there will be no bonfire....hence, no weiner roasting, weanie roasting, whatever. No s'mores. Just gotta be sure to wear my makeup every day, I guess. I usually don't wear it. Don't feel inclined to spend time or money on it for daily stuff. Howver, I am supposed to be in my seat at the symphony center in 1.5 hours. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> I need a sudden renovation if I am going to look like a million dollars. And I sure don't look it now.<img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> And, if I wear a coat, I HAVE to check it. Center's policy because the coats will distort the accoustics. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />

So, for dinner, I have eaten half a pound of baby carrots. For lunch, I had a Klondike bar. For breakfast, I did have some toast and scrambled eggs. I think I need a new food plan.

I like the see-food diet, but it makes me gain weight.
What's a Klondike bar? Ice cream?
Carrots are good, but they don't satisfy me all by themselves. I just planted carrots two weeks ago, but they aren't coming up yet. The turnips are up about an inch.
Have fun at the symphony.
I heard hot chicks don't need coats. IS that true?

Well, if it is 50 - 60 degrees outside and your car is a few blocks away, a wrap of some sort is a good thing to have.
And, I was all dressed up and looked quite nice. Took my ticket out of the envelope - knowing I had bought Friday night tickets because they cost less than Saturday night tickets. I looked at it and thought, "Why does this ticket say the 30th? Today is the 29th."
So, the woman printed up and charged me for the wrong tickets. So, I have to get dressed up again tomorrow night.
Did my hair...put on my makeup...got trussed into the pretty outfit...and then had to take off those clothes and change.
Branford Marsalis had to play without me tonight.
But, look out tomorrow night. I will have time to get even more gorgeous.

I want ice cream. With hot fudge sauce. I know it is 10:45. But I was stood up by a whole orchestra. <a href="www.nashvillesymphony.org/main.taf?p=1,1,3,1,4,1&EventID=0607-2" target="_blank">what I was gonna do</a> <a href="www.nashvillesymphony.org/ssc/main.taf?p=14" target="_blank">where I was going</a>

I mean, well.............. there probably is one, if you think about it long enough.
Maybe ?

Hey, I did find out on Friday night that I had a Saturday night ticket. It could have been worse. I could have found out on Saturday that I had a Friday night ticket.
I do hope Branford wasn't too disapppointed.

Well, I made it....was interesting evening....not a fabulous experience until the intermission of the concert. After that, it improved greatly. He was very good, though not perfect.
I was late to the concert. Had trouble finding parking space and parking was 2x what I had budgeted because there was an NHL hockey game a block away. So, I went to the box office during the 15 min piece of music I couldn't be seated during. They exchanged my Sat tickets for Friday and gave me a different seat for that night. I could see the soloist's face and could tell everytime he grimaced over a wrong or reedy note. I could see the muscles in his face change as he played. Very cool. Loved the seat!!!!
One piece of music was very contemporary and yucky. The 45 year old composer was there to introduce it. I am glad there are composers of contemporary music for orchestras but that music was not to my liking. The second half of the program was very nice.
The hockey game not only started at the same time as the concert but it got out at the same time. So, getting out of the area was slow. I saw something very funny though......
This large group of Mennonite people...not Amish....but Mennonite.......was leaving the lower Broadway area en masse with what appeared to be musical equipment. Lower Broadway is where a bunch of very crowded honky tonks are loaded - it is one long 'pub crawl' for a lot of country music fans on Friday and Saturday nights. And you could tell these people were coming from that direction. It was very odd. I wished I had my camera with me.

Rella so glad you FINALLY had some fun and heard some great music! At least as you said it wasn't a Friday night ticket found on a Saturday morning !!! I wanna go out too!! ANYWHERE ... besides work stuff of course. I was going to get DD to fill in for me at the Royal Show on Wednesday and have her feed the men tea & sammies & go for a nice quite ROMANTIC lunch with Aussie ... HOWEVER ... Aussie wants to go to the Show ... doesn't that man ever get enough? oh .. sorry .. yes of course .. he’s a man. Probably thinks its romantic to watch the sheep dog trials, or shearing, and who could miss the lumber jack tree lopping contests, and lets not forget the pigs .. no lets not do that. S I G H .... <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> I'm just about to walk around the neighbourhood and drop off pamphlets for the show.. I 'volunteered ' <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> ...apparently ... as DD was going to do it but suddenly found out she had 900 odd to deliver. oh well look at the positive side of it .. good weight loss walk! ... 3 hours of weight loss walking... <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> can't you tell the enthusiasm just oozing off me? Mum is baby sitting Mickey & Aussie heheheh which will just drive him up the wall. Killing him with kindness snicker <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> well tl... "<img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />" are those for the Mennonites or the camping lol??????? ok can't delay any longer .., at least its sunny and not too hot ... sigh ... <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />

Taking day off from work. 3 humans in this family. All w/ sypmtoms of attention deficit disorder. All see psychiatrists. Managed to reschedule 3 psych appts all for the same day. Not going to work. Gotta do finance stuff. NOT GOOD!!!
So, Wednesday morning I leave for a human resource conference. w/ co-workers for 50 hours straight. Business casual dress code.....Uh,....I guess that is probably how I dress most days. I don't know. One person's casual is another's dressed up.
I've never met most of the other attendees. I'm a relative newby. I'm concerned about this.

Neak and her husband appear to have dropped off the face of the earth. The last any of us heard from them was Saturday night, when she called home on the 800# and her dad forwarded it to me at the coast. They should've been to Montana by Sunday night, and well on their way back to California by now with the truck. I can't get ahold of AJ's brother (nobody answers the phone) to ask him when they left for home, or if they ever arrived. AJ's boss hasn't heard anything from them. There were no messages on the phone when we got home last night. She told me their cell phones were both dead, but that wouldn't explain why she couldn't call on a land line during a refueling stop. Even if they were having such a good time together that nobody thought to call US just to chat, it's not like Neak to go so long without checking up on her kids..especially after she knew that the Dervish had managed to get himself lost on a hike into the mountain wilderness that afternoon, and was retrieved by the kindess of strangers (or angels) and returned to a straggler from our group, before anybody even knew he was missing. All I can say is, if she's OK, she's in BIG TROUBLE!!!!!!!!!! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" /> It's not nice to worry your mother. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> No camping stories today. I'm busy fretting. t&l

Dear God - please take care of Neak and AJ, wherever they are. Please help them to be in contact with their family soon. Keep them safe and in your care.
If they are in some sort of trouble, please send them angels to care for them.
And be with their family. May they feel your peace and may they hear from Neak & AJ very soon.
