ahhhh, you're pool is a greener shade of pale again, eh ? LOL You've managed to defy all odds and turn a saltwater pool green. congratulations ! LOL You mentioned that you have trees and stuff all around your pool. Could it be that some of it is falling in that you aren't catching and that stuff is taking on a life of it's own in your pool causing the algae ?
Work was kind of odd this week. It wasn't good and it wasn't bad, but for some reason, I'm getting one panic attack after the other. By the time I'm done work for the day, I'm really tired. I started taking a multi-vitamin, a vitamin D and an Omega 3 every morning. Could something like taking those do something to me to cause those attacks ? Maybe my body needs to get used to the extra vitamins and the attacks will eventually pass....I don't know.
The week after next I'm on vacation !!!!!!! I can't wait ! I promised myself that I wasn't going to go anywhere this year. I'm going to stay home and enjoy the fact that I'm not spending a ton of $$$$$$$ just because it's a vacation. Maybe during the vacation I'll head down to the river and stay there for the day. I could go for my walk and then just lay back and catch some rays. I could find a bunch of stuff to do or I could just kick back with a book. All I know is that whatever I do, I'm going to shut my racing brain off first ! LOL
This is turning out to be an awesome weekend. The sun is out, it's 75 degrees and not a cloud in the sky. Time for me to enjoy it.
Hope everyone is having an excellent weekend !
life is good - and it's a long post!

i could NOT be more sorry about the panic attack thing going on with you. taking vitamins can only help! maybe you're just overly tired and this vacation time will calm your mind, spirt and body.
well the pool is now back to clear as glass. chemicals have been added - sigh. i found where i'd been pushing this button on the salt water thing thinking it was the timer but i could never reset it. it appears it was a button that controls the level of salt the filter makes. i'd pushed it to 10% instead of at 100%. can i get a big duh from you? LOL
i'm leaving for the beach with sister, her kids and some of their friends july 24th - yay to infinity. we're staying somewhere between jacksonville and st. augustine, florida. the pack of people i'm going with are some of the most fun people in the galaxy so again yayyyyy LOL
now for the big news. i have hives on my lips and around my mouth. it's such a good look and yes i wear it well LOL the only thing me and my doctor can figure out is i was eating mangos like they were going out of style. mama had said my paternal grandmother was allergic to them and i said i was so lucky because i wasn't. oh well. it's a given i self-diagnosed myself on the web the night before doing to dr. i scared myself simple HA i told one of her nurses what i'd done and she gave me her cell number to call her so i won't self-diagnose again - how nice and sweet is she?
so now i'm on a steroid pack. am i taking them properly? nope. the dreaded pill phobia - blast it all. but i am occassionally getting them down. and know what? that's good enough! dr offered me a shot so she could see me look like buckwheat LOL when she gave me the prescription she said she'd done her job and not to tell her if i didn't take the steroids. she knows me well LOL forever just knowing it's hives and nothing more calms me immeasurably.
i think your staycation sounds incredibly wonderful and soul soothing. if sister didn't need me along with her, i'd do the same thing - just hang at my house and kick back.
hope you and everyone else is having a wonderful weekend. i finally got around to returning my movies to the library - 2 weeks late! i know better but do it anyway! i quit trying to figure out the why of it LOL

Here's one of your peeps !!!!!!!
At 3:30 today, my vacation officially started ! !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hmmmm, what am I going to do ? Well...I could do nothing.....or...nothing...or nothing ! The possibilities are endless ! Actually my goals this week are to learn to really relax, get my exercise in every day and make sure to get my vitamins in. I'm going to eat well and I'm not going to sleep in too late. I'm going to make sure to get my water in every day and I'm going to stay as cheerful as humanly possible.
One thing I had to do.....4 of the planter basket things outside with flowers in it are in a black wrought iron basket type thing with a coconut grass liner on the inside. I noticed that the coconut grass started to fall apart ! I didn't know what to think until a week or so ago. Birds are picking away at them to make nests ! They're flying around the planters and grabbing coconut grass on the way by ! Half of my planters are lodged between the downspout and the wall of my neighbour's house ! So.......Home Depot I went. I got solid plastic beige coloured ones. I trasfered the stuff from the coconut grass ones to the solid plastic ones. I should send the bill to the birds ! One was picked at so bad that when I went to take the coconut grass and the plants out, it fell apart in my hands ! Stupid birds.
Hope all is going well for all today.

yay for you! my vacation with sister starts this friday at 5:00 LOL i don't even know how many nights were staying at the beach - just that i will be at the beach YES!!!!!
i've been writing up a storm here. there are times i feel so incredibly creative and those words find their way from my mind down to my fingers and onto the keyboard. i love these times. a good friend told me once that i remind her of virginia wolf on medication LOL who knows? maybe i am?
things could be better or worse at work. i'm just going to leave that there. it's easier and safer not to talk about it. i say safer only in the sense that i do tend to work myself up recounting things. and it is so not worth it.
right now i'm just feeling good - happy with and about myself. what billy joel calls a new york state of mind i'm going to call a karma berry state of mind. it's a good place to be.
i so hope everyone is doing well. mano - i wish you the most laid back, peace filled vacation ever.

wow karma sounds like you are on the other side of anxiety so proud for you it only comes with doing and those of us who refuse to face our fears will spend the rest of our life with our fears true recovery only comes by doing and not giving up also working on the fame of mine what is causing our fears I have fussed with hubby all weekend and didn;t do any of my rides I guess just another excuse I wish I could find another safe person to work with but once you latch onto one person you don't want to cling to some one else and we need to make ourselves our safe person oh well just venting karma I am proud for you a vacation is not in my future oh I am taking next week off but I will spend it with my family at home do some much need house work and relax doing nothing is a vacation and mending fences with hubby if possible you are where all of us want to be all I can say is you go girl

well honey - thank you so much for your kind words! right now - just for this moment in time - i've been able to just turn some of the anxiety loose and let it go. i'm thinking some of it has to do with my attitude. but never think i don't still get squirrely because i do LOL i was squirrely on the way to work this morning. i think part of it was residual anger left over from saturday.
saturday was not the best day for me. not at all. but some things got brought out into the open and resolved after the fussing died down. being angry like that is not healthy for me - not emotionally or physically. tomorrow will be better than today was - and today was a good day! there's nothing like feuding with those you love is there?
keep up your good work! family stuff resolves itself one way or the other - most times for the best even though we never have a clue when we're in the middle of it what in the world is going on. or is that just a southern thing? LOL
so to you girlfriend, i say - rock on, party on!

Karma ! - I hope that you're not wishing the week to go by fast because if it does, I'll know who to blame that my vacation went by fast ! LOL The week is going awesome so far. I got a bunch of running around done and then I came home and relaxed. Tomorrow will be spent outside catching a few rays and then Wednesday will be spent out in the country catching some country rays ! Wednesday will also be "floating in the pool day". I went and bought some sunscrren so I don't get burned too bad.
It's also awesome to sleep in. Normally the alarm goes off at 5:45am. This morning I slept in until 8:00 ! The parks dept for the city was at the house next door cutting down their tree, so I was wakened by the sound of a chainsaw ! LOL Imagine the nightmares I was having before I woke up ! LOL
I hope that your conflicts have been resolved. It sucks having to waste a perfectly good Saturday pi**ed off. Weekends are time to just float.
Time for me to do nothing again ! I think I'll put in some overtime too.

heyyyyyyyyyyyyy kidssssssssssssss!
this is karma - aka party central brittney - partying like a rock star at THE beach!!!!! we got here about 4:30 this afternoon. it was a long drive but very pretty. we brought 2 cars - my sister drove mine. the 2 boys - age 17 - don't like following me. they say i drive fast then slow. oh well. the 2 girls - age 13 - preferred being with the boys. yes those boys are that much fun LOL my sister and i had a ball being alone and able to talk and talk and talk with nobody listening. wonderful together time!
honey - for years i'd stay behind while everyone went to the beach sans me. they knew it wasn't anything personal regarding them. i was just in that place at that time. where you are now. keep practicing and positive thinking and you'll get there. really you will !!!!!!
the boys will take my car later tonight to go on babe watch patrol. it's wonderful they drive and don't have to be embarrassed by a supposed grown up LOL remember i'm only 15 LOL x forever
i did have some anxiety yesterday driving to work. i was overly tired, overly stressed and hadn't been eating enough. i turned around and went back home and just laid down for a bit. it passed like i knew it would. instead of going to work, i went down the road to my garage and got the oil changed, then washed and cleared all the clutter out of the car.
and guess what happened after that? nothing. i felt right as rain and had dinner with a friend later.
vent, vent, then vent even more. let it out - we're all listening and understanding!
i so wish my sister would return from the store! i haven't eaten for way too long and am honestly light-headed with hunger!!!!! i'm drinking black iced coffee - remembered to bring that but forgot the creamer - sigh - and just ate a cinnamon altoid. i am THAT starved LOL
