Happy Good Friday

Already Good Friday... Over here I lose all sense of the church calendar. Remember I always attended the 3 hours of services in the afternoon when I was in the States.....

Nobody Just Nobody · Rib-it! Rrrib-it!

We're going shooting today. Taking the whole family. Even the little guy. Then going to do pictures. Then home to color eggs. And lastly a fish fry at our house.

Going in to work late. I noticed that most people who had scheduled meetings have cancelled them. I smell a mass exodus around noon.

I'm off today. Mammogram this morning. And grocery shopping!!!

lilyofcourse · My spirit animal is a pink flamingo.

I'm up! I'm up!

Barely.

It rained the perfect kind of sleeping rain last night.

School was supposed to be out today but it is a built in make up day. So they have to go and make up one of the 2 or 3 days they missed because of snow.

If it wasn't a test day, I'd let them play hooky.

Happy Friday ya'll.

So you are going in late and going to make up for it by leaving early?

Lawyerlady · On the bright side...... Christmas is coming! (Mod)

DH and I have a very rare day today. We are both off work and the kids will be in school ALL DAY. Our church service is not until 7:00 this evening, so we have an entirely free day to spend together with no kids. We are going antique shopping and to lunch.

So, we have a really big DLP TV we bought 6 years ago. When we got it, one of the reasons we chose it is that it would last longer b/c it's like an old fashioned TV - the parts are actually replaceable (and it's easy DIY!) to fix it and make it last longer, unlike a plasma or the LCDs they had at the time. So, now the lamp has gone out - it lasted longer than expected, but I have to replace it and to get the OEM lamp, it's $100 bucks. But, worth it, I guess. And apparently, I've gotten an average of 2-3 years longer out of this lamp than most. Like any lightbulb, they work for a certain amount of HOURS, so how much TV you watch determines how long it lasts. So I have to order the part today, and be without the family room TV all weekend.

A first-world problem for sure!

Oh, I hope you enjoy yourselves.

DH won an AMC gift card from work, but I don't think there's anything I want to see.

I want to see Miracles from Heaven and Zootopia. But I want the kids to see those with me.

I've thought about taking Itty bitty to see a movie, but I'd rather go to the zoo or park.

I want to get a TV for the boys' room. Maybe for their birthdays.

Mom is getting her colonoscopy today. I always hate it when they put a loved one out.

The yard is drawn up for the landscaping project Monday. I'm excited!

The maids come today. I'll go grocery shopping later. I need white eggs. I'll cook them today and we'll dye them tomorrow.

TrudyML · Guru

I wish I had the day off!

Happy Easter, all!

Divine Geek · Guru

Today is officially a holiday for my company. But I'll be going to work for a few hours. I still have a big pile of stuff to catch up on from vacation. I want to have it all caught up before passing it off to someone else. And I'm taking Corgi to get his nails trimmed. I usually try to get there right when they open to minimize the chances of other dogs being around. But I really didn't want to get up that early. So, fingers crossed he doesn't try to eat anyone at the vet. It was so nice sleeping in

TrudyML · Guru

Mm, the Corgi wants some dog meat!

Bring tissues when you go see Miracles from Heaven. It is such a good movie.

Good morning.

Taking DH to get a CT scan of abdominal area. No breakfast yet. I will wait for him. He is having the barium stuff and offered me some. I politely declined.

Schoolwork when we get back.

Have a good day!

I figured. The previews were enough to make me cry.

Divine Geek · Guru

All went well. Who knew Corgi wouldn't be the problem? There was this other dog that went ape-crap when he saw Corgi, but Corgi didn't care, just kept walking. I felt kind of bad, there was a puppy outside so excited to see the other dogs. Corgi walked right past. The other dog got drug snarling past. The puppy was so confused.

We are home with a sausage mcmuffin now

Lexxy · My dog name is Sasha, too!

Mmmm - sausage Mcmuffin. It has been years since I've had one.

Morning everyone. It is just a regular Friday here. We may get to leave an hour early. We usually do for holiday weekends but I'm not sure if this counts since we don't have Monday off.

TrudyML · Guru

The help faked sick. Stuck here.

just Czech · Give Me Grand's!

Oh, Trudy, the help needs a slap up the back of the head.

Hi, all! Sounds like everyone has a great weekend planned, except for the one lacking a television. ;)

We are coloring Easter eggs this morning. :)

I need to get off the computer and get going on a very long to do list. Problem is, I don't wanna. I'm not in the mood to adult today.

I would have fired her. My friends are making bets. Panera for lunch.

Thinking about meatballs. May go buy supplies and make them.

I used to live in the same town as that family. The movie was filmed in GA though.

I was supposed to go shooting today. Isn't happening. I woke up in the middle of the night with my knee swollen and locked up. I couldn't bend it. It was like it was paralyzed. Freakiest thing ever! I couldn't even get out of bed to take something for it. DH woke up and got me something and then bent my knee. We heard a HUGE pop and then it seemed okay. That's never happened before.

lilyofcourse · My spirit animal is a pink flamingo.

I've had that happen.

Did you have a warm sensation in the knee area when it popped?

If so, you popped a bakers cyst.

Yep. I sure did. It was really warm. Weirdest thing ever. I could not move my knee. Bizarre. DH bent it for me and he was kind of worried when it popped so loudly.

Happens to me at least a few times a year.

It isn't any more than a bag of fluid.

Of course it can get large enough to cause tendons and ligaments to move, stretch and dislocate. Even tear.

So give your knee time to heal before over doing it and if pain persists after it pops, see a doctor.

Nobody Just Nobody · Rib-it! Rrrib-it!

LOL I don't have any tendons or ligaments in my knees! Just bones sitting on top of bones. They talked about repairing my ligaments and said there's nothing there to repair.

lilyofcourse · My spirit animal is a pink flamingo.

Well, either way, it can really mess up a knee.

I've been dealing with them since high school.

Two lovely words:

"benign cyst"

I had a mammogram & ultrasound, but thought I would have to wait until next week for the news!

Actually, I can. I have DS putting stuff away and drying dishes. We don't use the heated dry on our dishwasher so things often need dried. DH has been assigned the task of picking up the living room and excavating the ancient civilizations under the couch.

Me? I'm holding a trash bag. Because I already did a load of dishes, washed the things that aren't dishwasher safe, and started lunch. So I'm taking the easy job and that's that! biggrin

Not to sound strange but it freaked me out. I literally couldn't move my leg. It hurt so badly. I kept trying to bend it thinking I could get out of bed and take something. But I couldn't. Then I thought if I could lift my leg over the side of the bed it would bend and I could stand up. I couldn't lift it! Then my next theory was to turn my foot to the side and pull my knee up. Nope, couldn't do that either. I woke DH during all this and he helped me out. He was kind of surprised about the loud popping noise. I'm kind of taking it easy today since I have to cook the next two days.

I just went thru that in December. Mine is a larger calcium deposit, not a cyst.

Never felt so relieved.

Flan, glad it was a benign cyst. :)
