Hey girlie's, wow it seems like a lifetime since I've been here, and so much has happened both here and in my own life. I'm not even sure what my last post was, but I'll bring you up to date to where I've been. You all know I was taking it easy after the awards (thank you to all that participated), for my Lupus, after that things went all wonky. My daughter had a stalker, so I was dealing with that for hours a day for a long while. We got that resolved, the stalker was expelled from school, and moved back to his home state.  Then, my hubby surprised me and we went to Costa Rica for 10 days. Where we own a condo, but ended up renting an amazing beach house on a private beach, where we just relaxed and watched the some of the most beautiful sunsets I've ever seen. Oh, we also had several hot stone massages, a manicure and pedicure, I also had facial treatments. The homeowners have a service that comes right at the house. Something I'm going to be looking into for myself, here in the States. Then a day or so after we got back, we both were admitted to hospitals, we had contracted a virulent flu of unknown origin. I spent four days in ICU, my hubby spent two, we both came through and are doing well. I won't know if this has effected my Lupus, I was coming out of the worst of the flare-up, before this happened. I'm just grateful that we are both ok, it could have and almost did end up a lot worse. Well, I guess you're pretty much caught up, you'll be seeing me around the forum more and more as I get stronger. Can't wait to see, more of what has been going on here.

Barb and Penny, I hope you both get to feeling better soon, I know how taxing pain can be on the mind, spirit and body. Please take care of yourselves, and get the rest you you need to get through this trying time. You are both in my thoughts and prayers.

A belated: Welcome back to Arielle!!
            Congratulations Kim!!

Boy it's good to be back!!

Nice to have you back home!

studiojek

Wow, that is a LOT of stuff to deal with Gypsy. I hope you are feeling ok...I guess at least you got a nice vacation out of all that, as well as some nice time with your husband, and the knowledge that your daughter's not being stalked anymore.

Take care, I'm glad to have you back, safe and sound!

gypsiegirl66

Yes all of the above, thank you! By the way I love your new avatar, Wonder Woman was one of my favorite shows as a kid. My friends and I, loved playing WW too. Oh those were the days, such a simpler time. When all you had to worry about, was making sure your room was clean. Growing up has it's perks too, but way too many worries!

I was (obviously!) a big fan too and loved climbing on the jungle gyms near my house pretending I was fighting criminals!

I think the payoff for growing up and getting older is that you lose that innocence, but you learn so much along the way - oh that and you can eat that piece of chocolate cake if you darn well please

waterlilybarb

You can even eat it for breakfast if you want.

gypsiegirl66

and have an extra scoop of ice cream!! I could only have one, that was the rule in my house.

Hi Barb, hope you're feeling better, and was able to sleep some last night.
Scratch that, I see you've got you're sunglasses on.

waterlilybarb

I DID sleep.  YAY!  I'm just fighting off an oncoming migraine, but what's new?

Other than that, I'm not too bad today.  The sleep did me a world of good, even though it took extra meds to knock me out.  I slept through my alarm and didn't get up until after 1pm, and I fell asleep around 3am, so that's pretty good.   

gypsiegirl66

That's great news, I will keep my that is an ongoing theme for you. You're due for some relief, and good rest!!

Are you having as much trouble with the pages loading on "this" site as I am? I'm getting a twinge in my head, just from the frustration, of waiting for the pages to load.

waterlilybarb

Yes, the pages are loading quite slow today.  Maybe the techs are doing some behind the scenes maintenance.  It's a pain in the bum though.  If that twinge lingers - well, you know what I'm going to say.

I got the Babylon 5 About & Guides posted though, in spite of the slow loading.  Another thing crossed off my to-do list.  YAY!

gypsiegirl66

Wow, that's great!! I think I'm off for a bit, I'll be back though, probably fashioning my sunglasses too! Stupid head!   

waterlilybarb

I hear ya' sister!

gypsiegirl66

Well, the break didn't help me one bit, I've got a full blown migraine now. Looks like it was the equator, that made the difference. I see we have the same mugs, they are actually quite similar to the ones I have. I've moved to our veranda off our master BR, we don't have a view this astonishing, but it ain't too shabby either. I think I'm off to bed though, after a quick look around the forum.

studiojek

Agh, I hope you feel better soon Gypsy! Same to you Barb, glad you slept

waterlilybarb

Thanks studio.  This time of year is always a challenge.  Everything changes so quickly that my body doesn't have time to catch up, and gets thrown into a tizzy.   I'm fighting another migraine - nothing new there - and am really hoping it will rain.  I think we're in for a thunderstorm (YAY!) which would be great, since I often feel much better after one.   Plus, I love them.

gypsiegirl66

Thanks from me too studio....
I've been out for a couple of days seeing Dr's and having tests, nothing fun that's for sure. Hopefully I'll get news that the flare-up is still on it's way out!

I hear ya on the thunderstorm front Barb, they always help the thumpin' in my head, and they're fun to sit and watch/listen to too boot. that one is headed in your direction, and that it relieves you from the banging in your head, right quick!!

I'm off to fetch another ice pack, hoping it's frozen already.
