Weekly Flylady Thread 30th November 2009

Money_saving_Diva_2

I know I haven't read the thread yet but will do before I post tomorrow.

Tris is still with us!! However, the cancer has spread further even from 3 weeks ago when they operated last. He is considered too weak for them to try chemo but they are willing to try radiation treatment again. But the Doctors are not giving him more than a month or so. However, they said that a year ago so there is always hope.

He is going to sleep now and I am going to nap for an hour - I only had about 4 hrs last night as I never got back to bed after getting up in the small hours.

Thank you all so much for your messages of support, I have emptied my pms again - the love and caring from this community is just amazing.

LadyL told me you are including him in a visualisation tonight and I cannot tell you what a comfort that is. I will join in for Toots and LadyL and everyone else who needs the love and support. I know he and his family are more than grateful for all the positive vibes and candles you all light for him and you all already know what it means to me.

Have a good evening

I know from some sigs that there are a few people who are very poorly but although I am nosy I don't like to ask, but I gather that there is something wrong with Tristan (Sp?) this is Divas OH? Hope all goes well and I will have them in my thoughts, how do I go about joining the facebook thing, I am already on it as me but not with the flylady one gotta go for now and collect DD from Brownies later y'all

Big Bear Hugs to everyone, even if you don't need it just have one on me xx

Tristan is Diva's friend in America who has cancer. He's been very ill for a long time and has had lots of operations. He had to have emergency surgery today so we are all thinking of him today hoping he will be ok.

I'm terribly tired this evening, DH was very kind and made dinner for us. I'm not sure I'm going to be up to much flying today after all but will try to wash up later on. If I don't fall asleep first! LOL!

I weighed myself this morning and was really pleased. My pedometer broke on Sunday so I've not really done any walking and my eating over the weekend was terrible although it's been better since. I thought I must have put on loads of weight but only put on 1lb which is amazing! And even better I'm still under xx stone - I've been battling to get under that and been just over it for about two months, and then last week i got under it and I really want to stay under!

Welcome Alicemary

Diva, thinking of you and Tristan

Hugs Louboutingirl

Congratulations on the weight loss Rosepink. It is such a good feeling to get past a mental milestone like you say.

I have re-made the beds and sent the littles to bed. Poor DH is due back at 10pm yet again after another 6am start. Ho hum.

Exciting evening for me then - empty and re-fill the DW next.

Rose you reminded me that I need to get a new battery for my pedometer, it failed on me last week and I keep forgetting :mad: before it failed I was on 11000+ steps for the day.

Went to try and get Miss A some new school trews as she put her knee through the others, Sainsbugs only had boys trews grrrr I have sewn the hole for now but really need to get some new ones. We got a few more bits while we were out including family Christmas cards. W was asking Miss A to choose which card she wanted from him :rotfl: he hasn't quite got the concept of choosing by himself! Good job she did help him though or she might have had an 'Uncle' card on the basis of the pic :rotfl::rotfl: We called at the chicken shop on the way home and ate whilst watching neighbours, we know how to live the high life!!!!!

Evening all,

I'm in for the visualisation tonight.

Diva i'm sorry about Tristan, fingers crossed the Dr's will be wrong this time too.

Pigpen i can't open the list of names for the cards can you PM me too please.

I'm so flipping fuming :mad::mad::mad:. After the School run there was someone in my parking space. The only other place to park in the entire street was over the road, at the end of a row of cars, next to the lane. I was maybe an inch at most over the edge of the pavement.You could have got a bus up there. OH came over after work and told me there was a traffic cone on the roof of my car and that it was badly scratched.:mad::mad::mad::mad:. There were also 2 notes on there telling me not to park there and that i was obstructing access to the garages ( which i was not ). I can't believe it, if i was that in the way why didn't they come and knock on my door and tell me? I've phoned the police and they are coming out in the morning, i can't see them doing anything but it may make them think twice about doing something like that again.

OH isn't speaking to me now because he thinks before i went out i should have gone across the road and dragged the cone into my space so no one could park there. Why didn't i think of that.:rolleyes:

Sorry for moaning i know people are going through much worse.

If you can manage 15 minutes, go for it. Remember to rest afterwards.

I'm hopeless at finding old posts, so I can't find the details either soappie or I have posted for previous visualisations, but for those of you who are new, we spend some time together thinking positive, healing thoughts for our poorly flyladies and friends. One of the simplest things to do is to light a candle, and use the flame to focus on. Try to sit somewhere quiet, where you can concentrate, and slow your breathing. If you have a few minutes to prepare, try to think of things that remind you of the person you're thinking of. During the visualisation, try to fill your mind with healing white (although other warm colours work if you can't get white) light, which you can project onto the person, and use positive images or words if you find you need to add to this to stay focussed.

Because this can be very intense, I suggest that we spend 5 minutes focussing on lady liberty, then 5 minutes on Diva's friend Tris, and then 5 minutes on trying to stop toots moving furniture on her own

You may feel emotional afterwards, or cold, or hot. Try to give yourself time to recover. If you have to stop, then do - don't feel you're letting anyone down, as it's a surprisingly exhausting process.

If you've got any questions, let me know and I'll try to answer them.

If L-L, Diva or Toots want to suggest some things we might like to associate with them, it might help people!

pigpen

quiet night at yours then Hex
