I hardly slept either, a rarity for me. Property stress!! Was yours the same Pluto or was it more the going back to work? Hope all was okay today.
Isn't the time change usually the last weekend in October or is it a moveable feast? LurkyCat looks sweet Ditto. I like black and white kitties.
Barely a WiFi signal according to the dinky symbol, as soon as it staggers to two bars I am posting!!

I think it was a combination of things that kept me awake PK. I'm hoping to sleep better tonight. I was very upset at work and my manager wants me to have a phased return so am doing 12 - 4.00 for the rest of the week. At least if I don't sleep I won't have the alarm set early. Have you got people lined up for unpacking when you finally do move?
Are you having an early night Rainbow?

Good morning
Yes, I slept much better. It's a relief not having the pressure to be back and straight in with families. I was emotionally exhausted by the end of the day after ploughing through emails and talking to members of the team.
Ditto, I remember the year of the floods in Cardiff too. It meant changing trains unexpectedly and chaos at the stations. The weather has been very cruel lately. I have to downsize dramatically too! I'll get H on to the selling. When is your brother moving?
Office sorting this afternoon at work! Hope your day goes well Rainbow.
Hope you can stay positive PK. Good luck with the wifi.

Have you managed to catch up with your sleep Ditto? It's true, a change is as good as a rest. I just hope we find somewhere that we love in our price range. Another upsetting day at work as someone hadn't known I was off so I was telling her all about it. Later I got into proper work thoigh so that was good. Bake Off tonight

Hey! The days are going by so fast, I didn’t realize I hadn’t posted for two days, thought it was one! We had Gabe over until after 8 on Monday, then his mom and dad came for him. After a delayed flight Saturday for bad weather in Dallas, they had a really great weekend, Cowboys won, and sil was happy! Ensemble with Gabe on Tuesday! B and I spent a couple of hours wandering in Home Depot, picking out new towel holders, toothbrush holder, etc. And paint! That’ll be the last to finish up the bathroom!
Pluto, it’s going to be hard going for awhile, then not as bad, but never right again. I hope the bathroom is done up right for you, and the downsizing is not too hard.
Ditto, you look great in the pic even with a bad knee! Glad you got better rest, but the sniffles and aches are not good. I hope you feel better soon!
Rainbow, you are always busy! I hope work is not too rough on you!
PK, will there be any birthday celebration on Friday? I hope so! I sent a card to your old address cos that’s all I had...I hope you get it eventually!
DeeDee, I hope you’re doing ok!
Two week doctor visit this afternoon!
Take care all...hugs!

What ho! I am feeling and functioning a bit better today, though still full of aches and pains. A glorious shower in the wet room upstairs, which I used every day when I last stayed here, perked me up no end. Last week's was in the downstairs bathroom which has one of those baths where you are swung into it on a seat. I am not a fan, but better than nothing. Ditto, I wouldn't mind shaving 20 years off my age but I am resigned to being 59 on Friday Two cards and one box from a bookseller have arrived here already but I am keeping them for the actual day unlike some people I know... MommaPK, I'm looking at you!!! Marilyn, I hope your card does reach me via Lewis, I will let you know. I doubt much in the way of celebrating will be happening but I may be proved wrong. And the Bognorbuddies are in the area for their usual autumn visit to Malvern and me and want to come over on Saturday evening. Think that I need to persuade them to visit a bit earlier than that. Hope the doc visit went okay M Oh dear, is S any happier now Rainbow? Was your day alright Pluto? DeeDee, wotcha doin'?

Ditto is that a naughty drink I spy in your hand?!! That's a lovely piccie of you I hope your appointment went well M and you are signed off now I need paint for my bathroom too and a new loo seat. I'm not sure when I'll have time to get them though. PK, are you really going to be 59! I had lost track. I was thinking you are the baby but that's Rainbow. How is your internet Rainbow? Ours comes and goes but is ok after we have turned the router off for about 10 minutes. It's good to see you PK. I love collecting cards and opening them all on the day. I'm glad you had a glorious shower. Hopefully the Bognor buddies will understand and come at a suitable time for you. I had a lovely morning with an ex colleague. She also lost her father a few months ago then retired early because she has the funds to do so. She's younger than me. She made me lots of lovely fresh coffee and gave me fruit cake. I lost a load of notes at work because I clicked don't save by mistake!!! Half days are good at the moment but I'm still tearful.

I found that I would get tearful at totally random times after my dad died, Pluto, and that happened for quite a while. Now it rarely happens, it's more a lump in the throat thing.
Crikey, some of the doughnuts on The Apprentice are enormous!! Sugar has been scarily smiley so far in the boardroom. I expect that will change.

Nice to have posts from everyone! Bummer about the Wi-Fi,Rainbow! B has pretty much the same reaction to Wi-Fi problems, which he expects me to fix, because in some weird reasoning, I'm the one who had it installed...years ago! My remedy is turning it off and on, which strangely enough usually works! Go figure! Pluto, good that the half days are working for you. As PK says, you'll be emotionally tender for a while...I still have these rare times when I think I need to call one of them. PK, just opening presents is celebrating! Does MommaPK read our posts on here? Lol, just in case...hey, MommaPK! Ditto, you doing ok? Doctor's visit went well, now discharged from surgery doc, should be back to normal in 6 to 8 weeks! Looking forward to the cruise in November...18 - 25! Take care all...hugs!

Good morning Good luck Ditto. You sound very perky about your new life so hopefully that will rub off and put you in a good place for SW M, can I be a stowaway Have fun with lists of what to pack. Some new outfits are a must! It's full steam ahead for you now Rainbow, have you got plans for next week or are you just using up TOIL and leave? There are 5 of us going to Evita: you, me, V, G and Z I've been feeling so much better every morning then it changes when I'm out in the world and with people. I must move dad's coats and shoes from the hall today, or tomorrow. I end up doing very little sorting as I can't organise myself. I forgot about the sleep programme. Is it worth catching up with or is it the same old, same old? Hope it's a good day for you PK
