Losing ph is such a bugger,hope you find it soon!

Good luck Jamie ~

Oh Turtle,

you have all my empathy on that one! I have done that before.

My mother use tell people, I was hopeless, but if you want to find me, follow the trail.
This was true!, I still do it to an extent, it is the dissociative disorder. Not being mindful.

Perhaps you had to much on your mind, or it just fell out of your pocket, please don't beat yourself up
this happens. Just a hic up in life. We lived life for so long with out them. Try to look at it, as a chance to unplug and find so quite stillness.

Perhaps you can use your mates phone to talk to your shrink. As you know, we need to ask for help when needed. Reduce your stress with people who will be there for you. You are a great person, they will be glad to help.

Peace, strength hugs.
Trina

HI Trina,

I am happy you are feeling better. Sounds like you have some good plans in order to keep yourself busy for a bit. I need to do that too. I start so many things and don't finish. Oh well...

I have lost some weight too. So a lot of my clothes are hanging on me. But I do have a lot of tops that I didn't throw away even though they were a bit tight. So I can wear them comfortably now. Not ready to buy new clothes yet.

I hope your day was nice. It was nice here weather wise. A little bit of clouds but mostly sunny. It is getting windy now though. I don't like wind much.

Take care Trina...

I like the Billy Collins poem in your signature. When the gift of sight is cause enough for jubilation. We are lucky to have sight. I try to appreciate even what seems to be the smaller things. I am lucky I can walk. Some people can't. I have a roof over my head and food in my belly. I am just lucky...

Hugs, Karen...

Morning all. Grandson and I went to the Halloween party here yesterday. I won 'most original costume' for my scarecrow get up! Only the adults had the contest, so as not to arouse difficulties for the children. So smart!

The transformation of my bedroom continues! I painted the trim on Monday and am pretty well pleased with the result. I taped off about 3 inches down from the actual trim and painted the wall with the same semi-gloss white to give the impression of a wider trim. Once all of the curtains are up and the 'artwork' and such, I think it will look really nice. Bought a third dresser yesterday...I have too much clothing! Even after sorting and editing...there's just not enough room! Winter is coming and I dress in so many layers just to keep warm. T-shirts, henley shirts, sweaters, leggings, jeans...all of my fleece pajama sets...scarves, hats, gloves...and the 'foundation wear'! Don't know where I'll keep all of my fleece jackets either! The weather skipped over my 'light jacket' season!

Tomorrow, I'll swap out the Halloween decorations for the Thanksgiving ones. Doing this helps me move the season along...pining away for Springtime! I planted 45 tulip bulbs...can't wait to see how many the squirrels leave for me to enjoy.

Joyce...if you're reading along...you are in my thoughts and I hope you are well.

My grandson helped my put the chandelier up yesterday. I LOVE IT! Brought in the new bedding and toss pillows and made the bed. I'm really liking how it's all coming together. My daughter gave me a nice back rub last night so I slept in my pretty bed, without too much pain!

Today will be outside work. Taking down the Halloween decorations and setting up the Thanksgiving ones. I'll be cleaning up the garden a bit, too. Dumping the spent pots and moving anything still blooming as far to the front as I can, putting away the rest of the patio cushions and such. We're going to be having a rainy weekend, so this may be the last 'nice' day for this type of work.

Tomorrow, I'll put the shelves back up in their new locations and finish sorting the 'little things' and try to get the rest of the artwork up in my 'new' bedroom. Saturday will be trying to get the rest of the house back in order!

Wow, Pitmom. You really have been busy! Your bedroom sounds wonderful! As long as I can remember you have been working on projects throughout your home. Is this your last room? Or will you just keep on going and updating anyways? You are starting to inspire me....las I have been battling the depression for so long I have not decorated in years!

Jamie I am so sorry to read of your phone. It is truly unfortunate that no one was honest enough to come forward with it. It sounds like your library has been a lifesaver for you!

Trina, bagging away your clothes that your husband likes was a great idea. I have a friend who is also divorced and she and I have spent years slowly purging ourselves of items around our homes that came from our long marriage periods and had any types of memories to them. It really helps with the healing process! And helps to slowly create new, unhurtful memomories that come with a sense of pride and self satisfaction.

I hope you all have a wonderful day/evening. Cass

no ph. cop shop not hits. it records state wide. sh@t happens. just emailed bill companies with updated addy. I get mine emailed, as coin comes straight out from pension. went through medical papers and got most I neeed for ndis application. will make a long apt for gp to write a supporting letter with factual and strong terminology!!!!! ndis are brutal. lucky shrink is a professor and has stacks of pull. and I been with him eight yrs. keep strong my friends. been a bit sore. but ok.

Thank you, Pitmom for remembering me.
Yes, I do read occasionally. It's been quite difficult to log on with this new format.

My health has been an issue. Spent three days in the ER recently and I'm struggling with a side effect of one of my meds.
Not sure which one yet...but the itching is ALL OVER my body.
Hope my doctor appointments this week will shed some light.
Take care everyone
Joyce

Hello Joyce welcome back even if for a visit.

Jamie sorry you are still struggling with Technology. I totally get it. Still can not get my phone synced with the car.
No like you who can. not call anyone. but....

Been MIA. last week spent 2 days in the hospitals. AIMOVIG is not the med for me. I think it is dropping all the effectiveness of my other meds.

Had such a severe complex migraine, that they could not reduce the pain any lower than an 8 in. ER and Weakness would no subside on left side of body. Admited, morphine every 4hrs, 18hrs later, the pain was a 4 and weakness was almost gone. Discharged next night

I am going back to nerve blocks. Standing my ground. All good reports of this med are people without my complicated diagnosis. Never want this kind of pain again. Can not even discribe it.

Hope everyone is well and still kicking.

Peace
Trina

MAny healing thoughts trendy. Hi all. My mate bought me a ph. Setting up. Trendy...Karen has new addy. Gmail not recognising till I get one.

Hello all. Still busy working on the house. Haven't gotten back to the finishing touches on the bedroom yet. Hit a snag with elbow pain and having to do the regular chores.

Joyce, sorry to hear about your latest difficulties. Hope you've been able to figure out which med is giving you trouble and a solution to it.

I still have nasturtium blooming alongside the dahlias, butterfly bush, sedums and pineapple sage! The potted mums have been moved to the front. Still a lot of color in my garden! We haven't had a hard frost yet.

I think I owe my energy to the vitamin b 12 I've been taking. What a difference!
