This Night Owl Blog has given so much!
It is a fun place, we don't bash and we have fun being "tedious"!
We offer advice, give love, lots of free food and an open forum which can be about anything that is important, thought provoking or just plain silly.
And sometimes we just March (some to different drummers, but all together). :)
It is not about a single person, it is about all the people on any given day blended together.....Goldie!
Tina Good morning. Fun song! I don't speak Spanish but enjoyed it.
I'm getting very weary of my sciatica problem. Waking up in the middle of the night in severe pain is not fun at all. The doc has me on pain meds but can only take one a night for a week until can up the dose to two a night for a week, so on and so forth, reaching 5 a night if needed. This is the same med Barb was on before and it never helped her even at 5 a night. When the attacks are as bad as they were last night, I take two 500mg Tylenol and that settles it down in about 20 minutes. I am really, hoping this is a temporary situation that will rectify itself in time.
Hi JL...so sorry you aren't getting any sleep snd feeling bad. We old owls are falling apart at the seams. Good thing we have young Jodi around to keep us young.
Anyone want to go to Hsppy Hour with me? I'm b o r e d !!!! Went to lunch with my cousin for a couple of hours and home and Louis keeps sleeping in chair. He's not sleeping at night either and is having an achy back. Dr put him on muscle relaxers but don't seem to help. So, needless to say, it's not fun around here.
Our weather is sunny and hot today. Just a little too hot for me. I'm laying on the bed with the air conditioner on and a fan blowing on me. Guess I'll take a nap and do a load of laundry. If anyone changes their minds and wants to meet me....let me know
Dianne I'm sorry you are bored. I'm not much fun right now, either, so I don't think I can help you out. Do you have a good book you can get lost in? I love my Kindle Fire. I just downloaded Stephen King's new book but haven't started it yet.
Dianne, I'll go!!! Dam I hate that we all live so far apart! I would have some one to go to the movies with and a few "Happy hr" lol! I would be visiting and caring for the achy owls and having awesome lunches too!
JL, has your Dr suggested light exercises? Lite Yoga would be good too. I catch it on PBS sometimes. Stretches in the morning are good. I have had trouble with my sciatic nerve and I know it's no fun! My Chiro did a great job stretching it for me.It took a few weeks, but it sure helped!
Ok Mary.....I get it....you'll go with me!!! You are certainly wordy three times. Lol. I wish we all lived closer too. I ended up doing my load of wash and taking a nap. We went out for Mexican food later tonight. I came home and took another nap and now I'm getting ready for the night. I must be sleepy today.......or bored.
Mary I am doing some light stretching type exercises. Even on the pain meds, when the sciatica hits really strong, it is completely debilitating, like my leg is on fire, literally. Sometimes it's not that bad and just a very sharp pain with each step. I'm not sure why it is so aggravated now but I suspect it was a certain exercise that I did the day before this became a problem. I see my doctor on Monday.
Dianne I love Mexican food. Chile rellenos are my favorite. There's a little hole-in-the-wall Mexican place about a mile from me and I sometimes get their prawn fajitas to go. So delicious!
I, too, wish we lived closer to each other, Although I can't do much now. I had three lights out in my bedroom ceiling fan, so my grandson came over to replace them for me. I usually just stand on my bed to change them, but I can't even do that now. I am so helpless, it is frustrating. I am not used to having to ask for help with such little things and I hate it!
I am going to bed now. I hope you all had a good day and that tomorrow is even better. 😀
Barb I know what you mean about feeling helpless. I've been staying home and staying ugly this weekend, i.e., no makeup and comfy old clothes. Today was actually a pretty good day, probably the best I've had since my sciatica troubles started. Maybe the meds are finally kicking in. That figures since I have an appointment with my doctor tomorrow. LOL
Dianne, LOL, I should be more patient when posting! I was sure it hadn't gone through. I deleted 2 of my comments!
Barb, I know what you mean about feeling helpless. Unfortunately, if I don't get someone to do something for me in a "reasonable" time, I try to do it alone, which is why I get back pain. I am stubborn lol! Please don't do what I do!
JL, I can't imagine, in my wildest dream, your looking "ugly" . I do know what you mean though lol! The most make up I wear around the house is eye liner and sometimes my lashes. Not sure why I bother. Maybe just in case Tom Selleck shows up LOL!!!
MY sciatica has abated and I've felt quite good yesterday and today. Since it can't be determined if the pain meds finally helped (I'm on the lowest dose) or if my event is over, my doctor instructed me to stay on the meds a little while longer then stop them and see what happens. I could do all the movements she asked me to do today during my appointment without any difficulty or discomfort. Yay!
Today I was at Safeway grocery shopping and I wandered over to the bakery department to see if there were any eclairs. There weren't and I mentioned this to the manager when he walked by and asked if I was finding what I wanted. Since there were no more eclairs in the back, either, he gave me a container of fresh baked brownies as his treat. Score! I've eaten one and there quite good and very rich and also quite large. I think I may give the rest to the couple across the street as I really don't need to be eating all of these.
I've been up for a couple of hours because I couldn't go back to sleep. The dog is still sleeping on my bed. There's something wrong with this picture.
Hello Owls. I just got home from getting my nails done. It was so nice to go outside this house for a while. I need to figure out how I can get my hair done/colored. I have this halo going on and it doesn't make me look like an angel. I had an appointment on the day of the pacemaker implant, so the hair took a back seat that day. I can't lean back to get the color washed out, so I don't know how this is going to happen. Maybe my hairdresser has an idea.
Barb I hope your hairdresser has some ideas to help you out with the hair situation. She must have come across this problem before with someone with a bad back.
I was at a wonderful dinner tonight to celebrate my friend's husband's 70th birthday. Actually, he's my friend, too. Anyway, I felt honored to be included in what was mainly a family dinner and a wonderful restaurant in Mill Valley. The dinner and the company was wonderful.
JL, glad you had a fun dinner tonight. What did you have to eat. I went out for my friends birthday and had a yummy steak. They gave her a pecan, Carmel crepe for her bday dessert. It was good!!
Barb, has your hairdresser figured out a way for your hair yet. There has to be a way. We girls don't feel good unless we have our hair and nails done!!
My goodness...where are you Jodi? It's not like you to bounce in here before work.
I'm upset with my son today. It's gotten that if I don't go to a sports event, I don't see the boys. He says they are busy. I can't tell you how many times I have asked them out to dinner, breakfast or lunch. They can never go. I usually take a grandson alone for his bday and I'm still trying to take the oldest one and his bday was in March. I told my son that we were going to,the youngest grandsons game Saturday an hour away and he always has a comment to make....this time it as that I've been MIA. I finally said that I don't think it's right that there is no other time to see them. Haven't been there since Thanksgiving. I'm just whining so just ignore it.
One week until we leave. We got some new luggage and the place said to scotch guard it before we use it. Guess I'll do that tomorrow.
Dianne and J/L, I haven't called my hairdresser yet. I have been dealing with an issue with my sister, which is exhausting, and I haven't had the energy to deal with my hair, too. I am staying in the house, for the most part, so I really don't care. I have a box of hair color that is just for roots and I can do that and rinse in the shower, if I really get desperate. I do want to get the whole thing done before my surgery, though.

Mary If Tom Selleck shows up or George Clooney, send him my way. I'll even make sure I have makeup on and fix my hair. LOL

I do know the difference between they're and there. Sometimes my fingers go faster than my brain.
Now I've cut the large brownies in half and made chocolate frosting glaze to pour over them. Neighbors aren't home. What a shame. LOL
I've been up for a couple of hours because I couldn't go back to sleep. The dog is still sleeping on my bed. There's something wrong with this picture.
