One Step at a Time - November 2014

[NoraC]

Sun, Pauly, Kradle, and everyone else - I am sorry that I haven't been there for you.
I think of you all the time but I have just withdrawn into myself. I am so very, very sorry. I am here now with very big shoulders. Hang in there!!! :heartbeat:

[fennel]

Sun, Dotts has a good point...working out creates "happy" chemicals. I know it's the LAST thing anybody feels like doing when they 're depressed, but throw on some sweats, grab your nook, and get up on that treadmill. Even if it's just for ten minutes. :heartbeat:

[fennel]

Dottie, I can't count the number of funerals I've been to in the last year and a half...nothing says "comfort" like Church Basement Lady vittles. :heartbeat:

[mama bear]

I have visions of a Saturday Night Live skit about the Church Basement Lady!!!!:happy2:

Remember Dana Carvey as the church lady? :welldone:

[mama bear]

oh yeah! I had forgotten that. Chili is simmering and I am flopping. DO NOT DRINK!

[Dottie Belle]

Got my friends mother moved in. They had a gal who knew the layout of her new apartment and then went to her house and helped pick items that would fit and she set up the entire apartment. When we arrived all her mothers things were there to welcome her...not sure her mother is convinced but she is there and we were all there to encourage her and let her know we were glad she was there and safe...hope it works....
Mindless TV tonight....

Dotts, I bet once your friend's mom gets settled in, she will love the new place.

My SIL's M and FIL were dragging their feet about moving into an assisted living situation, particularly her MIL...well, now her MIL is ecstatic that they made the move.

That was so nice of you to assist in the move. :heartbeat:

Pauly I can't tell you how often I feel like I have no business being here...and I have made the decision to leave many times. But then when I get some space, I realize that this is just so much the lowest part of my brain, the , " I'm a complete failure" screwing with me...
But it's hard hard hard. I understand 1000 percent, sweetie. :heartbeat:

Dots I'm sorry...I don't get it.......lease:Fenny, you think you're slow !! I'm completely unplugged...

fT glad you're doing so well! We're going have to start calling yoU INFT...Infrequent traveler!
It's VERY cold today...good on you Sun for getting in all the plants....I'm still picking the kale and the chard but everything else needs to go...

Home in bed....not drinking...
Sorry I'm not commenting a lot ...

[Dottie Belle]

Kradle I dont get what u dont get??? we are both confused??? Did I say something?????

[Lizann]

Pauly and Nora, I'm with you as well. Not much to add. I am very glad that you are both here!! I'm not drinking either.:happy2:

[Frequent Traveler]

Good morning,
Pauly everyone's input is valuable
Sunshine the GF issue is what it is, we do talk but she's there and I'm here and its always difficult to maintain a relationship from far away. I will keep my mind open and if its meant to be then it will, she does play checkers pretty good and I love checkers :-)

Hope everyone has a great day.

FT

Good Morning Loves......determined to have a happy, bright day.
Dots- you are a good friend. just as Fenny is such a good daughter.
Not much to report, but I will try to be the happy spirit that keeps everyone chugging along.
K9 - I hope your Mom's cataract surgery went well and I will text Nursie later. I imagine she is very uncomfortable right now.
Hey Lizz, Kradle, Pauly, Sun, FT Dots, Fen, Nora, K9, Glassy....I must harass Zen and Reccie to see if I can get them back. Maybe Spirit will pop in too
into the shower and then I am outta here to deal with my wonderful residents.....
I LOVE YOU ALL...

[mama bear]

I like me some checkers too. I am so glad you are feeling better. Stress is a killer....
How is that beautiful Corvette holding up?

Fen - I have only ever ONCE had the happy chemical thing happen when I was exercising and that was many years ago - it just never happens for me. From that one time, I really wish it did - it was amazing - I could have run for miles that day .....but I have never been able to get it again. I did walk the dog in the end yesterday although it was bitterly cold out - the wind was SO cold !
