Is was in Jest? I am not making fun of your pain, my troubles are not as big as yours, they just feel painful to me.

I apologize for unloading, being a moderater I should not have.

Peace Jamie

Moderators can share too. Many of them do. Don't feel bad about it Trina, you need support just like all members here. No harm done.

Hang in there.

I made the mistake of not getting out of my pajamas the other day. Such a simple thing, getting dressed. Even if I'm not going 'out'. If I stay in my pajamas, it doesn't go well for me. Keeping the lights on is a good idea for me too. I have to make sure I turn them on before sunset. I have a lamp with 3 lights on it and a tracklight in the living room. Turning them off, bit by bit, over time to 'simulate' a later 'sunset' really seems to help keep me from getting 'sleepy' too early. Airing the house out whenever I can (like today, it's nice enough to have the window open for a bit) is always a good idea. I bundled up and sat outside in the sun for a while too. Fighting the good fight.

Hi everybody!!!

Dreary here today though it is suppose to get partly sunny. Won 50 on a lottery ticket today!!! Yay!!! Can always use cash!!!

I hope you are all doing well. I am okay. Nothing spectacular. But not bad.

Pitmom, how is your daughter doing? I hope she is recovering well.

UA it is nice to see you post. I hope your day is good.

Take care all!!!

Hugs, Karen...

we can all break, if I am going down fighting, I will laugh my head off in a manic excited throng until my head is ripped off.

I guess I am.......me, and as a friend said to me, never stop for 1 second being you.

this I say to you all. never stop being you. the tree which is you is as only as solid as it's root, this is your heart and soul. I too need to feed my soul more thus healeth the tree. seeds of hope are all planted in us, must fertilize it in our minds and create that little bundle of hope and develop it to be strong. we all have good souls, some are hurting more than others, thus extend your branch and give shelter.

I got lost in misery of trying to save my brothers, but in this process it has been destroying me. well..........I was thinking of a sabbatical, but then everyone needs a turtle around. I hope???

So, okay, update on my daughter. She continues to heal well, been having problems with headaches. She will try to return to work tomorrow. I'll be glad to have her out of my hair again! ha ha!

I did some shopping and housecleaning today. Shoulder is not happy!

Just kinda blah.

My daughter was not feeling well this morning, but did go to work this afternoon. I hope she doesn't overdo. They don't have her on her usual bus and the one she is on has 3 wheelchair students!

I'm having excruciating pain in my lower back and right hip today. Came on suddenly while I was on my morning walk. Glad I don't go far. Took my meds and am just trying to rest it.

Going to try and help my neighbor catch her escaped cat later, if my back is better. It's been outside for over a week now! Hope I can get her to come to me. I'm known as 'the cat lady' here as I have 9 felines in my home! Wish me luck.

Tired. Very Anxious. The last few months have been really hard. Training finished Friday, and on the phones today for the entire day for the first time.

I do not think I messed anything or anyone up too badly. Had several moments throughout the day where my brain was threatening to shut down from overload. The last hour I was being pretty near useless, but luckily had either easy calls or polite and patient customers.

The first day is always bad, and it was. I hope tomorrow will be better. It really better be.

Warm thoughts for all. Be mindful and hopeful.

Hi Jamie, Pitmom, Myself, Trina, UA and everybody else.

I hope you all have had a good day. Mine was pretty uneventful but it was still nice. Cloudy and cold though. Suppose to be nicer tomorrow.

I hope you all have a good night, Jamie, I hope you have a good day.

Take care all!!!

Hugs, Karen...

PS Pitmom, I am glad your daughter is able to work and get out. I hope she is healing well.

hello. each morning I hear the birds sing. if they are up, so should I. so it was a tad damp from overnight thunder and muggy at 5.30am I went on my walk. my neighbour has lovely roses, took a whiff too. 'smelt the roses!!! a bit of mindfulness walking. it is 13 hours since then and it has cooled. made some calls, posted a little, got e-mails to do, had to do my sis in Canada as she wanted to know the ins and outs of a monkey's........
time for a cup of joe. hope to see my s.o tonight. on a positive note, my brother is being discharged from hospital on Thursday. regardless of what transpires from here, I am proud of his proactivity to getting well. mum was suppose to be out today, but failed the balance test. I said you seen those doors opening and got over confident, yep she said, went to fast.
had a chat with mum tonight, just to let her know of why the family was doing stuff, and to say we did so not out of malice but love. I love my mum, if you think I am a stubborn bugger, wait till you cop my mum, lol. we are all in agreeance to the outside guardianship, if approved. hearing jan.

well, time to shut up, shove off and shut down. have a good one.

A lot of good things Jamie, that is awesome.

I hope your mum can get out soon.

Hugs, Karen...

Lower back and right hip are very painful. This is 'day 2' with it. Frustrated.

On the bright side...my amaryllis is beginning to bloom! I love growing these in winter. They change so much in just 24 hours. Helps remind me that time is not standing still!

Good morning all!!!

Another dreary start to the day, but hey, no snow yet. I can hardly believe it but it is so.

I hope you all have a good day today.

Hugs, Karen...

Hi Jamie, Karen,

The sun is out today, but the place is still cold.

We're opening a new store sometime next week. It will be our 14th store.

Have a good day everyone!

That is cool UA... Sounds like you are busy. That is good.

I wish the sun would come out here, but I really shouldn't complain. Still no snow... Strange for December. But nice!!!

Hugs, Karen...

Hey Jamie, hope you are getting good sleep...

Day started out great and then, suddenly, rush down the 'blah' path! Trying to claw my way back out of it. Must drink some water. Dehydration can do this to me.

HT, funny you should mention roses. On my walk this morning, saw one pink bloom and one yellow bloom on neighbors' rosebushes. Not used to seeing them in December! Wonderful curiosity! Been close to 60 degrees for the high most of the week! Definitely not our typical weather for NJ, USA!
