Aww Mish, what a nice post. I am so happy for you and your mother. It' s important when mom and/or dad say kind words to us and are proud of us (at any age). She sounds very proud of you and we are too and it sounds as if your self-pride may finally be beginning to restore itself. When we can feel good about ourselves again, that is how we know when we are on the right path in life. Enjoy these good feelings and keep pressing forward.:l:h:goodjob:Gina

Mishy, how beautiful! I can't tell you how good you saying they found your momma's infection this early made me feel, since that's what took my momma's life, early. Stay on top of anything that happens in the hospital, question everything. It's your right. I can only imagine what a thrill it was for her to see all the work you did, and how much she will enjoy looking out at a doubly blessed garden. You've taken a huge load off her mind, being there, being sober, looking after her. Again, same thing went on with me. I wish you the best through this journey, and the very best you can do is be there, continue the wonderful, thoughtful things you are doing for her. As a mother yourself, you can surely appreciate how she is feeling. I wish I could give you a big hug for your thoughtfullness right now. Some time down the road we all have regrets about what we didn't do, but you are taking the helm right now, doing the little personal things that have the biggest impact on our loved ones. Bless you, and let us continue to support you through this. You have gone from needing help to being an inspiration. :hugs
Sun, we have to realize at some point we just need to putter around our garden and not have to work so hard (hmmmmm - maybe I should take that advice!) As it is, I've had dozens of calls on my 2 properties for rent, one from someone I've known for years, and he wants to completely remodel the carpeting, walls, yard work, and has promised to handle all our HVAC problems 'off the books'. His wife has several medical and emotional problems, and he said he'd never seen her so happy as she was yesterday, sitting on the big front porch on the swing enjoying the quiet. It is a beautiful, peaceful place, and even his 13 Y/O was excited about having her own BR and bath. It's always a leap of faith when we rent to someone, but with him we've known him at least a decade, so we have some history.
Sunny, why don't you insist that old guy you live with help you in the garden? Let him do the heavy work. Of course, it's probably like me trying to work with Hubs. I called him a bit ago to update him on what went on yesterday, and he 'Yah-Yah'd' through all the problems that could happen. He had to get out of bed at 10:30 and go to work, didn't get in till 1:00 AM. Classic case of an optimist married to a pessimist. Told him if he didn't like it, do it himself (not gonna happen!). You are a doer, always working on making things the way you want them around you. You go, girl!!
I'm so missing Vick, Grate, Nora, (Swan, you're doing much better!!), Tony, so many. Swan, I think you've really found the ticket - get here and then visit everyone. What a great thought, to be able to travel this huge country and meet your friends. Of course, I may keep you when you get here. We'll all start saving our pennies.
T, Fen, G, everyone else (dogs are barking non-stop for their breakfast!). Back later, loves. Miles to go before I sleep.

Where is youse guys?? What a day!!! Aunts, renters, prospective renters, political messages, AND my grandchildren. ((sigh)) One is trying to guilt me into buying her living room suit, (her boys need shoes) but I already have 3 to get rid of. Tay wants to leave for the cabin tonight, which ain't happening. Hubs is crankyER from losing sleep. I want to go somewhere and sleep a week. No phones. Sorry, don't mean to be a crab. So many have so much worse than me I'm ashamed of myself. Again, I apologize about the stuff that goes on every day. On a lighter note, Miss Sully and Pow are rubbing all over TMB (she doesn't know what to think of THAT!) and chasing squirrels in the yard. Funny, really, since the squirrels are as big as the cats. Going out to spend time with Ninny, and still looking for a companion for her fat self. She's gained SO much weight since i got her she looks pregnant.
Have talked to my Dr, Sheriff's office, med insurance company for a week now, since my regular meds all disappeared. No, it's not someone in my household, but I caught the thief red-handed. Won't prosecute since she's so young (NOT Tay) but she's banned from my house. Will cost me, but doc called and gave me his private phone numbers. He knows too well this is not normal for me. Just hate learning I can't trust people coming in my home any more. Hurtfull, since I've never had this happen before. And sad to see how young people can do anything to get a quick 'high'. Have a good evening, all.

Rubes, how awful about your disappearing meds. Sounds like this girl is in serious need of help. Is she a minor? I hope you'll let her folks know if she is. And yes, an addict will do anything for a high, even steal from friends and family...I do hope she can get some help.

Rubes, your cats better watch out...it those squirrels are anything like what I'm seeing in my back yard these days, they're beefy enough to kick some serious cat butt!

The Journey begins here so get YOUR ASSES IN GEAR!!!! for november

OMG - Rubes.....that just plain sucks. I have wondered if my boys would ever do anything like that since I have so many meds, but I cannot imagine they would.
Mish...what a sweet, loving post. Like Sun...it made my day.
I am so happy you are there for her and how much joy it is bringing you.
Thanks for the hug Swannie:l BACK AT YA!!

Well.....I had a doctors appt today and my ears are still infected!! This crap has been hanging on way too long....so I have another round of antibiotics. She said we are becoming resistant to some antibiotics....that's a scary thought.
She is so great to talk to.....I am now loaded up up with 2 months worth of b12 injections, sublingual b12, iron (yick), augmentin, nasal spray, and lunesta.
I should be a happy, anemia-free, rested person soon!!! And no more coughing up oysters. GROSS...sorry

Have to go to Clay's football game....I hate week night games, but since I am off tomorrow it wont be too bad.

It does kind of seem like the Ruby, MB, Sunni, Georgie and Rog show around here lately, doesn't it? With special appearances from Swannie and Fennel........I hope everyone else is ok.....
Oh one more thing...I get to go to a podiatrist for possible plantar's fasciatis...JOY!!!!

Gosh...I sound like a complaining old woman today, don't I?
Mimzey.....I love the visual of those two kitties loving on TMB.......cute!!
oh well...back to the grind. I love you all and am so glad you are here for me to babble to.
Kisses......Jan

x post Skwerly......Hi Babe!!!

Fen, between Ninny, Pow, and Miss Sully, with TMB joining in occasionally, the squirrels are watching their step. Have seen P and Miss S stalking them, getting on the same rail I photographed you 'nekkid'.
Yes, if I knew the girl's parents I would call them, but my girls don't want to get involved. My doc knows me so well he doubled what I asked for, and Hubs will be taking all my meds and putting them in a safe place, dispensing them (my suggestion) just so I can be sure it's not my leaky mind anymore. I wish so much I didn't have to have them, but after a few days without them I can't walk or stand the pain. I've never had to hide my meds before, in 11 years, but this is ridiculous. My girls have been worried about me, as well as Hubs, since I started taking whole tabs and cutting them into 4ths. Don't want to end up in ER again. I don't get a high or anything, and I always split them anyway, but when someone steals from you, they're thinking about themselves, not worrying about how it affects me. I always have half of them left at the end of the month, take the lowest dose possible, and am trying to gradually get it all the way down till maybe I can take none, or a couple, a month. It's a cache 22. Hubs can't stand to see me in the condition I've been in, so haven't told him who the girl was, but he probably knows since she's disappeared from being here all the time. My house is like a 3-ring circus, kids in and out constantly, and I guess I'll have to really watch where things are as they get older. Tay thought I was talking about my blood pressure med, which haven't been touched. She will barely touch Tylenol.
Anyhoo, hope you get up to Tick Hollow. Buy yourselves a small generator, and with a little house and a wood stove, and lights, you and Mrs could be really cozy. While everyone around you is cold and dark! :H I've actually enjoyed our many outages for a minute or two!! Till the neighbors see our lights!

Mimzey...I am just furious for you. The little shit.........

The Journey begins here so get YOUR ASSES IN GEAR!!!! for november

Oh My Gosh Ruby - I wouldn't care if your girls did not want to get involved - that girls parents NEED TO KNOW. She has a problem and they need to address it. NOW!! I can't believe that you of all people are just going to leave it at that? Really?........okay, rant over. NOW - I am feeling BETTER everyone!!!! I am out of my slump. I think I just had a really wicked case of homesickness. I cannot remember the last time I felt that depressed but it seems to have gone away thank goodness. I hit an all time low last Sunday......and have climbed back up out of my pit and am back to being sunny again!! YEAH !!!!!!! It feels so good to be back. To being me.

Jan - glad that you like your Doc - I don't like my new one - LOL. I want my old Doctor back. My new one says silly things like to stop drinking, don't buy AL. He just isn't the same as my old one. My old one LISTENED. I hope that you get your ears sorted soon - are they still painful? Good that you are loaded up on your RX's!!

Hi fen !!!

I am off to get some dinner...... going to have a little spinach pancake and an egg on a whole wheat English muffin. YUM

Love, Sun XX

Well - I promised myself that starting in November, I would check in faithfully every day and here it is already the 3rd. Time is flying by.

Sorry to hear of all the difficulties going on.

Things are ok here. After a lot of soul searching, I have started back on the antabuse. I am just not doing well with any of my 'plans' so I need to get some serious sober time in while I rework my 'plans/tools'. I just got so tired of trying that I gave up for a while. But, I'm back.

Came home early with some type of stomach bug. So, heading to bed now. Things have been rough at work so I can't miss tomorrow so need to get some sleep.

Love you all
xxoo
