It is 7:44 pm. Rolando is sleeping next to me, Harry is on his back in my lap (all 20 lbs of him) waiting to have his belly rubbed. The last of the children has gone out. Law and Order reruns are on TV. It was a rainy day here in Tampa - a nice change. It was a good day at work. I got a lot accomplished and met with two of my contractors - very pleasant young men. Nothing unexpected or bad has happened today, yea!

8:04 PM in Michigan. Almost got the latest quilt project finished today. Found out the free preview channels offered this week on our dish includes the military channel, so surfed thru and started taping a bunch of stuff. I learn more watching a couple hours of that than I did in a whole year of history class in high school - my teacher was an idiot. Mailed bills, did dishes, need to work on some homework for my class yet. Trying to decide if I'm going to actually cook dinner or just nuke something from the freezer.

Alright, it is 7:02 pm Central. Just finished eating dinner and my grams is doing dishes. I had dialysis this morning and was about 1 hr and 40 mins late. (set alarm wrong... :oops; ) So I only ran 2 hrs out of my original 3. After dialysis I went to lunch with my grandparents and Charolette, we ate at Pizza Hut. Then I paid my medicine bill at "Bunting Dunlap". (funny pharmacy name) Did a little bit of my G.E.D. studying. Thats about it, just been playing an online game most of the afternoon, and probably the rest of the night. ;)
Peace,
Robert

7:18pm
Just finished checking all my e-mail accounts. Packing and loading the bike down for my trip tomorrow, weather proofing everything.
I just remembered that the Sopranos are on tonight, so I figured I would check out the IHD and Renal Romance site before the Sopranos are on.
Had a busy day and I am tired.

It's 6:19pm and i am getting ready to head out the door to take my hubby lunch at work. Had a great day. One of my Goddaughters came over and spent some time with me, we went through some old pics of when i had my day care, which she started when she was just 1, now she is 10 and now my Goddaughter, :) But it was a very nice, relaxing day, the weather out is absolutely gorgeous, the trees are blowing, birds are singing, and Jane (my Doberman) is out playing with her new Tennis Balls that her Gramma bought her :) OK, it's 6:22 now and i has got to run...
XOXOXOX

It's 10:17pm EST and I just got back home, I ran to Sonic to pick up 2 bags of ice. I have baked ziti in the oven, trying to get excess liquid out of it (ooh, I should do that to Joe :lol;) and I really really need to go to bed.
-

It is 2:37 a.m. and I just took two Tylenol and have a temperature of 101.5. I feel like a heat sink. Waiting to see if the temp goes down.
-
I got up at 7:00 am and sat on the edge of my bed as usual. I sat and tried to get my head together. I have to write most things down because i am starting to forget. I get out of bed and went to the kitchen. Needed a cup of coffee. I looked at my list i don't remember writing. Have to pick up a friend and take him to work. It's a off day so i have some errands to run. I check my phone as i do everyday. Then i go to my computer and check for e-mails and get on the ihd site.
-
It's 8:25 am. I woke up around 7:00 am, jumped in the shower and walked the dogs. I also watered my flowers and plants. I'm growing tomatoes & peppers (have 2 peppers growing so far). I made my coffee and started my work day.
It's a beautiful day here in Northern Massachusetts, sun is shining, birds are chirping and there is no humidity. Life is good :bandance;

It's 9:21 pm and about 40 mins ago Rob finally got set up for dialysis. It was an aggrevating night to say the least. His Venous access was giving him issues, each time he stuck himself he would clot immediately. He tried it 3 times himself before we called his nurse and she came over. We hated doing this, but we had no other choice. She had issues too, but after an hour she was successful.
So now I am eating some soup and trying to relax. Tomorrow will be a better dialysis day!
-
It is now 8:38CDT PM and I worked all day and had fun there. Then had a nap when I came home and when I woke up, I went and bought groceries since I had to fix meals....just got logged on here and checking this site.......tomorrow I am not sure if I work nor not....but I will know in the morning and also if I work the day shift or swing shift....
Kitkatz, did your fever go down at all...I am praying you feel better.....
Skye, I am so sorry you guys are having problems with the access lines.....I hope tomorrow does go better......

10:15 pm. Had dialysis today. Lost more fluid sweating in the boiling hot clinic than I did to the machine, I think. We're having a mini-heat wave. Had to run to pharmacy after to fill a new scrip for renagel, since the phoslo is making my calcium too high. Dialysis is in one town, pharmacy is in another, home is in yet another - bleah, thank heavens the car has AC. Went grocery shopping since I was already in the store. Wanted ice cream, settled for Italian ices instead. Caved in to my cravings and got some chocolate. Visited my gram, came home and unloaded, ate dinner and did most of the homework I had due. Now I'm going to go crawl into bed and collapse before I have to get up and run back to town tomorrow to see another doc. Sweet dreams everyone!
-
12:31 pm and i just got home a few minutes ago (havent even hooked up yet) :o Had a FaBu day, got up and went to the clinic for blood draw and shared a few laughs with the nurse, dietician and the social worker (they think i am nuts) ::) then i went and sat in the beauty salon for 5 hours with the bestest hairdresser in the world, my Ed. God my hair did and i am feeling so much better, cut it all off and colored it, highlighted it, got it combed all wild, had a blast :yahoo; Then i went to my friends house for dinner, i hadnt been there for so long, we sat and talked until 11:pm, then i met Sam at the gas station so he can pump me some gas and then we came on home, had to come here before i hooked up, needed my IHD fix before i went to bed, i will be sleeping happy tonight thank you very much IHD ;) good night :P
-
6:14 am. Looks like another sunny day. I am up and dressed for work. I am wearing my FMS Trojan T-shirt for school spirit day today. Four days to go until school is out!!

-
It is now 6:49Am CDT and I have been up since 4. I have had a lifetime of insomnia but never took any pills for it. I don't believe in sleep aids for myself even though they benefit many......I am having coffee right now and I have been talking to my husband for the last two hours and mostly just reminiscing about our old life together as well as our days before we met each other......I went to bed about 11 last night since I couldn't stay up.....I was in a chat room last night (not this one but I love this one here) but just a social one and I had to bow out since I was so tired and then came here and almost went to the chat but I knew I would not last since I was so fatigued......I plan to do some cleaning today as well as some reading.....I jut thought I would come here and check things out and I see it is quiet so most of you are still in bed....lol.....I will be seeing you soon since I will be back later today......
-

It's 2:49 Atlantic Standard Time (same as EST right now). A lovely Sunday afternoon - The Lord's Day. Had a great meeting this morning. Studied the Lord's Supper and its significance. Because of my daughter's and niece's graduation, we have a house full - 3 cousins my age, 1 cousin her age, and a friend. So lunch today was big - the typical Sunday lunch back home in Barbados (which I never do because it is just my daughter, grandson and myself). Those who are not sleeping are now watching TBS - Legally Blonde.
Planning to go to the beach this afternoon, about 4p.m. when it is cooler. THESE DAYS ARE HOTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
It's 10:37 PM. I just got back from work. Ahhhh, it's nice to say that after far too many years of not having enough energy to work at all. I'm only working one day a week for now, but it's a start.
I picked up the mail on the way home. I got called for jury duty - on dialysis day, of course. They are either desperate or stupid, I'm not sure which. The last juror questionnaire I filled out was before I started dialysis, but I did explain about the kidney failure, the need to check blood sugars and possibly eat during court, and they sent me a notice that I was permanently excused. Well, apparently not. Next on my list of things to do today is write the county clerk a letter explaining that I can't skip dialysis. . .
-
It's 11:51 p.m. and i just got home, i am hooking up so late, i hate when i do that (but it was so worth it) Today was a nice day, went to my sisters and swam with my nephew, then sister and her hubby John made dinner and invited me to stay to watch a movie after, an awesome movie at that, i hope all of you had a nice day too, see ya tomorrow, love ya'll :cuddle;
-
It is now 7:58PM CDT and I just got done with the dishes.....I took my husband to get his scope done today, then came home and did some grocery shopping and then cooked for him.........nothing good on TV tonight...sure can't wait till next Monday when Age Of Love starts and then in July Big Brother starts....haven't had my meal yet since my back started hurting from standing so long....took some photos of the squirrel that was climbing our house and got some good shots so when I get a chance I will upload them to my photo account on the Internet and post a link in the hobby thread.....
I am real tired right now and I have to work tomorrow....oh well.....just have to hope it is another fun day.....I don't want to think about the fall since that when my coursework starts again.....
Have a great night everyone......

5:34 p.m. California time. Just sitting here looking at posts and waiting to go to the Toastmaster's meeting tonight! Big day at school for our 6th graders. We had International Day with them. They got to go around to all of the classrooms and do activities related to the countries we studied in Ancient Civilizations classes. Teachers were about ready to drop at the end of the long day with only a 30 minute lunch break.
-
It is 8:05PM CDT and I worked today and had a fun day even though it dragged a little......checked my email earlier and had an early dinner, first fed hubby and then I ate and did dishes.......now I thought I would come and check the board out and see who is here and read the posts....I may do some reading tonight but I am not sure.....if not, I will try tomorrow.....
-
It's 8:17 central time. I slept till 1 pm, I did not want to get up today. I showered and got ready had to meet my tudor at 2 pm. The study session went well. She wants me to take the first part of the ged test next tuesday. (insert peeing in pants icon) :rofl; Made a few important phone calls to "Kansas Medical Assistance Program" and "SSI". Then went to grams house and had dinner. Now I'm here on computer. Have to get off soon so I can change my oil in car. I've hit the 3000 mile mark and I'm going on 6000 miles I need to change it NOW! I last changed the oil April 4th, 3 months isn't up till July 4th. Damn, I've done alot of driving.

-
It is 3:10 p.m (Atlantic/Eastern Standard Time). I am sitting at a computer in the English Department Staff room of our high School. School ends at 3:15 (for the students), and i am going to leave at that time with a teacher. My jeep is still being fixed so I have to get rides. Learning patience!
It is a very hot and humid day as we had some rain recently. However, the A/C in our staffroom is nice and cool. Wish i could take it home with me.
-
It is 4:33 EST and I'm getting ready to go to my hairdressers. :bandance; I seriously need a haircut, color and an eyebrow waxing. I think I might get highlights too. No dialysis tonight for Rob :yahoo;, he's the coach on his department's softball team.
-
It is now 9:42PM CDT and just got done with dinner. After work today, I stopped at the library to get some cookbooks for kidney disease and a reading novel for myself. I then went to Target to buy a kitchen grill so we can grill in since the weather here is very iffy this summer. It sure was cold last night. I plan on stopping in at chat for a little bit. Tomorrow is a busy day since I take hubby to see the rheumatologist.
Have a great night everyone.
-
6:06 a.m. I am up and dressed ready for check out day for teachers at school! Hot damn! School's out for me!

Back from work. Picked up the mail and got my response to my letter asking to be excused from jury duty because of dialysis. They excused me from June 21 - but said they are rescheduling me for sometime in August. Clearly,they don't have a clue about dialysis! It's not a one-time appointment, for heaven's sake. Huh - I might be on home dialysis by then, so maybe I will be able to do it. I'm still going to have to check my sugar in the middle of court - so we'll see how they like the thought of me packing a bag of snacks to eat!
Off to do some homework now. . .

I had to appear before the judge with my note to get excused from jury duty earlier this month. Our county is really strict about excuses. I kept thinking what would have happened if I were subpoenaed before I went on dialysis and I couldn't even get to the bathroom by myself.
It's 8:12 pm here and I'm sitting on the couch watching FoodTV. I've been dragging all weekend, but I'm trying to get myself amp'd for my appointment with the pancreas/kidney transplant team tomorrow morning.

That stinks about Jury Duty. Rob got called for it this yar, so his Neph wrote him a note and Rob brought it to the courthouse. They excused him until he had a transplant.
-
I wouldn't mind going - I always thought it might be interesting to be on a jury. They always seem to call me when I can't actually be there, though. I doubt I'd get selected anyhow, once they figure out I'm a brittle diabetic.

Hi. it's 5:16 Pacific Daylight Time on the left coast of the U.S. I had a nice easy
Saturday today. We went to an early dinner, and we are having friends over
tonight for cards. Nothing serious, just fun. I remain grateful for all of you
on IHD for all the information as I get closer to dialysis while battling my
anxieties about it. Steve
-
It's 7:38 in the morning here the east coast. I just had a cup of coffee and wish i could have another. It looks like a beautiful day. These past couple of days have been perfect. I have medicine head as usual. As soon as clear that i will read the paper and eat my pancakes.
-
12:30 in the afternoon. Got up, ate breakfast, read the paper. No comics in it today. Heck, that's the best part - it's like dinner with no dessert. Now I'm going to do some homework and then work out before I go to work.
-
It is 6:40pm on a Sunday evening and I am trying to cach up on a lot of IHD
news here and listening to the Gaither Homecoming on tv. Nice cool summer day.
-

-
It's 8:52p.m. I am in the computer room in the condo in San Diego, CA. We are on our way home tomorrow morning through Oceanside. Up the coast highway or 5. San Diego has had mild weather and we have been lazy, lazy.
-
It's 11:05pm and I just got off the phone venting to my sister in law, and now i'm on here trying to unwind and relax. :)
