Replacing the much lamented 'On My Mind' profile option, this thread is for musings, jottings, whimsies, preoccupations and the rest of the thesaurus for anyone to jot down anything they please.
I can't remember what the maximum character count was before, can anyone else? But anyway it wasn't very many so let's keep to that.
Still staying at dd's but spending time at home every day. It certainly isn't ideal but manageable. I am recovering from a bout of bronchitis - too much stress I guess.
It's been a very challenging 6 months since ex died. I think I am burned out somewhat and have done little in the house. recently. Time to get back on track and toss/ donate more stuff. R is in the early stages of replacing the carpet in the condo with hardwood. I couldn't face vacuuming again.
Dd goes for her 6th and last chemo this week. She did pretty well last time but is very tired which, we know, is par for the course. Her surgery is set for the end of June.
Dgd and her bf have plans to move south to the city. I think this is a good thing. Dgs is feeling the stress but hanging in there going to school. for the most part which isn't always easy for stressed teens.
The weather has been strange and trees are leafing and flowering a month late. I saw the first crabapple blooms yesterday. A welcome sight! The dandelions, of course, are doing fine! Looking forward to, hopefully, a less eventful few months and getting the house sold. Summer is a great season here.
and to all going through a rough time!!
don't worry, i'm verrrrrry patient (when there's chocolate). i'll just wait at your doorstep till the next supply.
looking forward to gobbling it all down,
bundle of joy :)
Of course I would recognize you!
There is never anyone coming to our doorstep except Instacart deliveries.
Sorry we could not wait and the chocolate caramels are gone.
Ali, I'm SO proud of you! May you go from strength to strength!
sooo, i was gone from internet, and that break lasted 47.3 hours, haha - here i am again. but seriously, i'll disappear now for a while.
it's just that i saw this (what you wrote, Sendhelp):
"We have chocolate in the house, come on over!
Brownies, Salted Caramels, Chocolate Chip Cookies, Chocolate covered Almonds.
And other non-chocoholic foods:
Berry Pie with Vanilla Ice Cream
Bear Claws"
what??????????? I'M COMING OVER RIGHT NOW TO YOUR HOME!!!! :) :) :) :)
i want to gobble all of that.
since you've never met me, it might be hard to recognize me at your doorstep. but i literally look like a bundle of joy. you can't miss me.
hug!
bundle of joy :)
Wednesdays is a popular time for destructive trolls, and I don't want to even deal with trying to decide which ones. There are already many wasting peoples' valuable time.
Everyone else, have a good night, and stay strong!
(Caregivers...your time is valuable-all the time!) 🧸️🧸️🧸️🧸️
We have chocolate in the house, come on over!
Brownies, Salted Caramels, Chocolate Chip Cookies, Chocolate covered Almonds.
And other non-chocoholic foods:
Berry Pie with Vanilla Ice Cream
Bear Claws
All comfort foods.
Going to go hug my dH.
In agreement with you, my faith is shaken at the violence in the world.
And I cry out to my God for understanding because I know that
I cannot grasp it.
He is faithful.
Broken hearted for the world, all the hearts that are broken over the Texas shooting yesterday, especially the families of those lives taken.😥
Congratulations on a job well done!
You did this while having some enormous challenges.
Your future is looking brighter now!
We love you too!
I finished my latest school term tonight. I'm beat. Just wanted to share with my friends here because I'm proud of myself and I know you will be proud of me, too. lol It's a lot of work but I'm pushing through. Next up: final term and graduation.
At times it still doesn't seem real. I felt so broken just a few years ago and was coping with all the health and mental unwellness issues that came on during my caregiving situation. I was unsure of what kind of future I could have after caregiving ended. It's turning out pretty decent so far. I'm thankful. My energy levels keep slowly improving and my anxiety disorder keeps lessening, and I think that's in large part due to the good information I've received from this forum about supplements and self-care. And the support found here has made a big difference in my life.
Hugs all around. I love you guys. Thank you. 🤗
Texas 😦😟😭
