Welcome my friends to our weekly issue of Journey with Friends. This is a time that we come together for support, for encouragement, for fellowship – all with one single goal in mind – to live better. Welcome to our journey to share our goals and our accomplishments and our disappointments and frustrations.
Together we can do this!
Hello my friends. How was your week? Mine is still having mountains and valleys but seems to be getting better. I’m still going to the plasma clinic twice a week. Sometimes it’s a fight to get passed through. Some days either my iron is too low or my pulse rate is too high. Then when I don’t pass, I have to go back the next day to try all over again. Some peeps say, “Why keep going then if you are having such a hard time?” You know however it puts me out, can you imagine the other end of the spectrum in the aspect of the people my plasma might be helping? I stick with that philosophy every time I have a day that I get dismissed and can’t give. I need to hang in there to help others. ♥
And computer people – there is a special place in hell for them. I’m still having issues at work on certain programs. Anyone want to come over and kick their butts for me?
And I leave you this morning with my husband. Yes, you can start laughing and rolling your eyes now. Enjoy my friends and have a fantastic week!

I would kick them all , but the flu-bug won the battle and I’m back in my bed :o) I’m glad you still go to plasma clinic and you donate to help… if no one would go to donate we all could end stranded once…

Oh no! You are still down my friend? I do feel you. I know it took mom several weeks to get back up and going. Sometimes it was day by day. Take care of yourself during this time. If I was closer, I would bring you egg drop soup. Mom says it has healing powers 🙂 XOXO – Bacon

Easy, so sorry your Mama is still sick! As for giving plasma, bravo! My Dad gave a hundred or more gallons of blood in his life time.

I feel the same way about coffee, only because it’s my favorite flavor. I cannot have the caffeine in coffee though. Makes me sick. I didn’t do so well this week. Ate too much rice and corn.

Snorts. There is no set end date to the plasma donations. Mom is just continuing to do them until she feels like she shouldn’t anymore. She’s around 32 donations now 🙂 XOXO – Bacon
