The easiest way to avoid regrets is to ask yourself this question, "If not now, when?" It's a powerful way to put life and our decisions about how we spend our time into perspective"

My five…. Posted by Cindy on 3/15/2026, 10:37 pm, in reply to "Gratefuls for Saturday. " 1. Quiet Sundays. Love them! 2. Got our taxes back from our accountant. Yay! We are getting a nice refund! 3. The Madison. It’s a really good series on Paramount+. If you have that channel you should check it out. Very good. Love streaming services that bring us good television shows! 4. A good visit with Kim yesterday over coffee. 5. Tomorrow starts my new schedule at work. So excited!!

Mine Posted by Paula on 3/15/2026, 10:29 am, in reply to "Gratefuls for Saturday. " I think Dominic's time with me has been good. He has his learner's permit so I let him drive a lot which he loved. I'm taking him to bf and then to the airport. After that, I'm heading to the ER. Long story about sharp.pain I've had off and on the whole time he's been here. Talked to.the on-call doctor this morning, who happened to be my doctor(!). She said I need to get some imaging done to r/o appendicitis. I've done my best to keep this from messing up Dom's trip. It's like I'm being stabbed at times. Nice weather today in VA and GA. Severe storms are predicted tomorrow. Bet the office will be closed. Kitties will be glad when he leaves. Gianni has hidden almost the whole time. Blake ventured out of my room a couple times when Dom was in my office. Gianni did eat and drink yesterday so that's good. Having some family, even if it's just a little but of family.

Update Posted by Paula on 3/16/2026, 12:27 am, in reply to "Mine " Got home late from ER. They did blood, urine and CT of my abdomen. They thought it was a kidney thing. Nothing showed up on any of the tests. That's good, right? But, I still don't know what's causing the pain. They were very nice and said, "it's not that Nothing is wrong, it's just that it's not an internal thing." Felt that meant that they believed me. Sent me home with muscle relaxers and said to fup with my PCP. Instead of taking the meds when I feel the pain, I will.take them daily just to give the pinched muscle time to really release if that's what it is. Thanks for caring.

Paula Posted by Cindyh on 3/16/2026, 5:19 am, in reply to "Update" I hope you are feeling better. I think not knowing the cause is the worst. Are the muscle relaxers helping?

Because I drove myself to the ER, Posted by Paula on 3/16/2026, 11:33 am, in reply to "Paula" they wouldn't give me any. Called a script in for me to pick up later today.

Thx for the update… Posted by Cindy on 3/16/2026, 1:43 am, in reply to "Update" I hope the muscle relaxers do the trick! Glad you are following up with your dr. Take care!

Keep us posted Posted by Delta on 3/15/2026, 8:03 pm, in reply to "Mine " I hope it is something that they can just give you antibiotics for and you will be fine in a few days. I am glad that your time with Dominic went well.

Please let us know… Posted by Cindy on 3/15/2026, 7:02 pm, in reply to "Mine " What the dr says. It almost sounds like when I have diverticulitis. If it is, it can easily be taken care of with a couple of antibiotics. I hope they figure out what’s going on and get it taken care of.

Five for me... Posted by Joan on 3/15/2026, 9:36 am, in reply to "Gratefuls for Saturday. " 1. Sunday - Laetare "rejoice" Sunday - Everybody wears rose (pink) to Church, even the Priest, to symbolize the midpoint of Lent. 2. I have a dentist appointment tomorrow, so I'm postponing Treat Day until Monday after the appointment. 3. When I check out a digital library book, I can read it on my Kindle app. 4. I am pleased with how the students are participating in our Religion class! 5. FSF family and friends! I pray for all of you, your families, your friends in my daily prayers... and thank you for praying for me! Maintenance is a forever endeavor!

You always make me Posted by Delta on 3/15/2026, 8:07 pm, in reply to "Five for me..." want to see a whole room full of pink-dressed people. You are braver than I am. When I see the dentist, they always do a cleaning, and nothing tastes good after that. They usually finish with a cinnamon-flavored polish, although it was vanilla last time and not too bad. I told her several times how much I preferred it, so maybe she will keep the vanilla.

Cinq Choses Pour Moi Posted by Krista on 3/15/2026, 8:28 am, in reply to "Gratefuls for Saturday. " 1) Dad is alive and recovering from hip surgery 2) his cancer surgeon knows he is there and we are praying that she will come by to see him and advise of next steps on cancer operation (if still possible) 3) Ray bought me flowers yesterday 4) a good night's sleep - was home from hospital by 3 and just rested rest of day and evening. I needed it so much as I was unravelled completely yesterday and lost my cool with both Dad and brother. 5) got Dad 3/5 McDonald's toy hockey sticks he is collecting. Anything that brings him a moment of joy is worth it Onward.

Sounds Posted by Cindyh on 3/16/2026, 5:15 am, in reply to "Cinq Choses Pour Moi" Like your dad is maybe finding a new normal How sweet on the flowers

Awww, that is so sweet of Ray! Posted by Delta on 3/15/2026, 8:11 pm, in reply to "Cinq Choses Pour Moi" I am glad that you got some rest. Thank you, Jesus that Krista still has her dad and he is recovering from hip surgery.
