Gonna go have a smoke and then start getting ready cause I kinda take forever and gotta finish packing for one night and don't want to be drying my hair when hubby's wanting to brush his teeth and need to go to the pharmacy again, this time for my meds. How's that for a run on sentence??

Miz!
So glad you and your husband are going for some fun.
Let yourself go with it!
Don't let ANY guilt/regrets about ANYTHING get between you and having fun.
Every time your mind drifts, make that choice right there to stay in the moment and enjoy what's around you to the fullest.

Ted, thanks for being here. You have such an important voice for all of us.
Thanks for cheering us on and being supportive of those of us who have lost our charges and are moving on in LIFE!

BOAT.

Miz, Have GREAT TIME! Excitement, adventure, FREEDOM! Go with the flow and don't worry about a thing, especially not the kitties, They only let you think they need you cause they're good like that. They'll sleep, eat. poop, chase each other around a little. It'll be a vacation for them also.
I'm excited for ya!

Well it looks like we will be going to St. Louis. Hubby feels much better. So, our plane takes off at 12:45 pm Central Time. It will take about an hour to get there. Then we go to the hotel and then the game is 8:00 pm. It will be on ESPN2. We will be sitting WAY up high. Doubt you could see us on TV but you never know. I'm gonna feel bad leaving the kitties alone for overnight. They are not used to that. Just gotta leave clean litter boxes for them and plenty of food and water and pray they don't get into mischief. I'll be taking extra anxiety meds to fly. It's a smallish plane. Kinda can't believe we are going. Lots to do this morning. Thank goodness I got all the Christmas presents wrapped to take to hubby's parents on Friday. Angie, we're there with you. I know how difficult it can be. Feel our hugs and feel us in your heart.

love,
miz

Loving all the new icons! Bobbie that boat of yours looks awesome, Now i know what to look for coming down the creek.
Not to shock all of you or anything, but i had a bad couple of days and as we get closer to the holidays, always a depressing time in my so-called family, it'll probably get worse so ignore me if I go silent.
anybody ever hear of a book called "the Giver"? someone suggested it to me.

I have worked most of the night and I am reading your posts all together now.
I see you have messed up a lot with photos! It'll take a week before i "learn" the new ones. Bobbie, it that is your boat, I see I will have a lot of brass to polish. Congratulations, BTW
J, forgive me, your mother is already starting to give you trouble? If I were you I would tell her "Calm down, otherwise I go to the basement and see you tomorrow.. You stay with your father". I think you have to make clear - right away - that she will not be the only one to make decisions at home.
Angie.... I know it seems strange. Seems that people sometimes choose the day of their death.
My father was a very organized person., He died on 5/9/95 and he died some minutes before 10 a.m, I could bet he died at 9.55
My uncle (his brother) who liked to joke and was a very nice and witty person, choose to die on April 1st, which in Italy is the day where you do pranks to other people.
And I could give you other strange examples.
I have not decided yet which will be mine; but it must be in summer and absolutely at noon.

Good Morning Everybody!

Sweet Angie, I understand where you're at right now. My Dad passed 6 years ago & I couldn't leave his side, either! My heart is there with you! You are such a strong lady & I know that your Dad & Mom are both proud of you! You area such a loving & caring daughter!

You guys got me inspired to change my profile photo, too. Bobbie, love the boat pic! SO glad that you've made a positive 'Cuz Connection'! I know Karate...and a few other Asian words...want me to come kick some old man booty for you?!?! Some people don't have a blessed clue!!! Glad that you chunked him off of the boat! That's your safe haven!

Miz, hope you & hubby will feel better & will be able to go on your trip! I'm gonna think positive that you'll get to go so I'm gonna say, 'Be careful'!

J, you go ahead & ven all you want to! That's what we're here for! We support each other!

Jam, I'm glad that your hubby is understanding his Mom better & what you're going through. You are so kind & compassionate to tell him that you'll be there for her! Hope he knows what a gem he has in you! Glad that he's gonna retire next year & hope you'll enjoy each other more everyday!

To all of my 'grossed out' family...hope you're all already asleep & finding sweet dreams to be your companions tonight! Think I'll snooze for a while...

The visiting nurse probably documents " counseled the "patient" to get out more " and then charege medicare $$$ for the "visit".

Yea, they can all be so concerned about us, but somehow the concern only goes as far far as telling us that they're concerned, Funny thing, that.

Everyone I have come in contact with lately has mentioned,: are you getting out enough? Do you get a break? My Uncle said it, the visiting nurse, the neighbors. I feel like saying, If you fork over the $$ to pay a "grannysittter" I'll gladly take a break.!

I'd like to vent about something but I am having a rum and coke and am amused by the Saturday Night Live Christmas special, so just be glad you're not here. I'm dancing around the living room, too.

I guess everyone, well most everyone has trouble and here they are compounded seasonally and by the very lives we are "living" now...

I try and tell myself it could be worse. there are people trapped in abusive homes, children in wars, people dying in pain and alone, it could be worse but this is pretty bad for me just now...And no end in sight....
