And yet you let them live CCL. :LOL:


Doing nuthin'. I was busy yesterday, then woke up in the wee hours this morning because of a Charlie Horse in my thigh. It ached so much it took me so long to fall back to sleep I was considering just getting up for the day after three hours of sleep. I did run a couple errands (had to get wine for an alcohol rubdown tonight - it does work from the inside, right?) and made supper, so I wasn't a total slug.

There is a restaurant back home that makes a wonderful coleslaw and I've heard that their base is Miracle Whip, with just a couple things added. I don't want that stuff on my sandwich, but it sure is great in a coleslaw!

It did make a yummy slaw! MW will now be in my refrigerator, at least whenever I plan on making coleslaw.
 
Right now DH is vacuuming. He just finished cleaning the kitchen and bathroom floors. Yesterday, he did laundry. And I sit here playing on the computer. Of course, I know why he does this. He wants to go to the casino. The answer is still NO! LOL

Although my mum is still alive (she is 94 and now in a good nursing home), I have been researching into funeral costs today (e.g. contacts and prices). This is in order to minimise the future stress and also because it involves agreement with my 2 other siblings (who have fallen out over disputing mum's will).

The greed for money brings out the ugly side of humanity. I no longer recognise my sister. Not being materialistic (I am spiritually focused), I have given them both most of my share but STILL they argue!

I am learning that disputes/wrangles over who gets what in a will causes many relatives to fall out. How sad it all is.

Dawglover, most libraries love to get donations of books. Our does several used book sales every year. I am one of their biggest customers, in more ways than one! LOL

That's a good thing to do. In our area at least, you save a lot of money by preplanning and prepaying. They really take advantage of those who show up the day of the death and need everything at the last minute.
 
I am yawning my head off. Maybe I'll go to bed early tonight. Yeah, fat chance. :LOL: Three nights this week (so far) I've woken up three times during the night, each time an hour different from the last. Makes getting up really hard when the alarm finally goes off. IF I hear it, that is! Seriously, I'll probably be up for hours. My baseball game is on rain-delay. There aren't too many games left this year, and few chances to reschedule. Oh, and now it started up again! Gotta go cheer!
 
I just realized i forgot to set up my meds for the next week...I do it every Friday...I better do it before taking my night meds.

For some reason I've been waking up at 1:30 am each night, look at the clock and back to sleep until the alarm goes off. Don't know why.

Get up and put your bare feet on a cold floor. The Charlie Horse will just melt away. And you need potassium in your diet to prevent them in the future. Bananas are loaded with it. :angel:
 
I know those things Addie. I eat so many bananas I should be able to swing from the trees. I also eat potatoes frequently - they have a good amount of potassium too. Oddly enough, on this list of ten foods high in potassium, bananas are ranked 10th. I wonder why everyone says "eat more bananas" when things like dried apricots and yogurt are higher - and just as easy to eat. Top 10 Foods Highest in Potassium We also eat a lot of leafy greens, fish, and mushrooms. Maybe I just stand too much on the days I get let cramps at night. :LOL:

And about that "cold floor"? Our house has wall-to-wall carpets, except for the bathrooms. I'm in a bed about 25 feet away from a bathroom floor. When the muscle is cramping really bad I can't think about trying to walk even 2 to 5 feet! It hasn't happened for a while before this time, so I'm guessing my bar of Ivory soap fell out of the fitted mattress. Ever since I saw MrsLMB's post (I think it was her) I haven't had a cramp.

I remember that thread. A lot of folks said that they did that. The way I sleep and twist the blanket, that bar of soap would go flying out of my bed and break a window or two. :angel:

Re: cramps. I read a solution that I find always works. Since it can happen most when I am in bed, I quickly get out of bed and force my heel down to the ground. This feels hard to do but is where the cramping gets undone.
 
I forgot to add to the above post, that pushing hands against a wall helps with this action.

Same with me, I have not had a cramp in my feet or legs since I read that thread and started sleeping with a bar of ivory soap at the foot of the bed!

That was the best tip I ever got from DC and it had nothing to do with food, go figure! :ermm::ohmy::LOL:
