One Step at a Time - November 2015

Fen, maybe sometime away is just what you need?

[Rusty]

Good Morning, Steppers Far and Wide!

Ahhh....another day at home and it is GORGEOUS outside. I must get another Lake Path walk in...it may be the last for the season.

Fenny-:hug: Mrs. Fen is just putting on an act. Trust me. You left her and she doesn't want to look bad. Just think how difficult her life is going to be now. You took care of her, her parents, the home, etc., and now she has to do that ALL BY HERSELF. Did you ever see my post several weeks ago when you were looking for a job and I suggested that you apply as a groundskeeper at American Family Insurance?? You love the outdoors...and that company offers great benefits. It was just a thought. ;-) Can you get away and get up to Door County for a day or two...stay at one of the B & Bs near Peninsula State Park in Fish Creek? I used to do that from time to time and I live in a resort area. LOL

Liz-your dinner sounded delicious! So glad Lucy likes her PJs.

Nora-you cracked me up with your story about going back to bed with your mom and then waking up to find Mom not there. Hahahahahahahh

Mama-good luck today....especially with being quiet. Yeah, we'll see how long THAT lasts. LOL Just kidding.

Big hellos to Pauly, Skendall, ABC and everyone else! I am off for my walk.

We lost internet so I have to post from my phone. Rusty, it was mrs. Fen's idea to divorce. taking a trip and staying at a B&B would be considered frivolous spending by our divorce attorneys, especially since I am currently unemployed. I really wish I could, though. I hope you have a lovely walk!

[fennel]

I hate posting from my phone!

[Rusty]

Fenny, I am so I misunderstood you. I thought you had said it was your idea. I understand about the "frivolous spending."

Hey all,I love posting from my phone Fen Mama,good luck,Nora,you are too cute,Liz,glad your dinner was good,I made a roast in the crackpot for dinner yesterday,twas good well Kell will probably start the other job this weekend, however she's having baaad anxiety, I dunno what to do,I've tried giving her supps but she's either too scared to try them or she says they make her feel weird, grrr,she been doing calming meditation and it helps for a bit,but then back to the same old shit,I text her last night maybe she should consider the Zoloft the doc gave her,she's scared,I'm scared,just damn,but this too shall pass,hi Rusty,what's going on with you today? I'm off to the hellhole I call work,much love to all,hope we all have an easy day

[NoraC]

Morning all - we stayed up until about 2:00 am. These crazy hours are killing me. :harhar:

Pauly - since Kell is having the same anxiety as you and you didn't do well on Zoloft, maybe she should consider something else. Didn't you say that Zoloft didn't work for you? I know that at one point, my niece was going to be put on something and the Dr asked if any close relatives were taking something. Also, after my Dad died and they were going to give something to my Mom, it was the same thing. Since I was doing well on it, they put her on the same thing. I hope she starts feeling better. The anxiety is so awful.

[Rusty]

Hi Nora, I sent you a PM.

[NoraC]

Hi Rusty - I just saw it & replied.

[Rusty]

Thanks, Nora!:love: Hey, now you can join the Long Term Abstainers or 100 Day Club threads. Hip Hip Hooray for you!!!

You stayed up until 2:00 AM? Girlfriend, you've got staying power! Not me. Hahahahahahahhah!!

[NoraC]

If I don't get this sleep thing worked out, I'm going to turn into a zombie. LOL

Mom had anxiety last night. I ended up giving her a tylenol. But, this morning, she was having a lot of anxiety. She just kept saying how nervous she was. I ended up giving her half a lorazepam. Now, she is completely zonked out. The Doctor said to give her half of one at the airport but if she is this wiped out, that isn't going to work. :S

Going to try to get her in bed. I'll be back.

[fennel]

Nora, I'm so sorry this is happening....maybe try a quarter of a lorazepam on her? She knows that change is afoot and is understandably anxious. I hope you can hang in there with the crazy hours and anxiety. :hug:

[fennel]

I am just now back online...what a long day this has been. Thank you so much to Rusty, Nora, Pauly, etc.

I'm trying to catch up with my job applications and appointments. I suck at posting from my phone...I really can't keep track of anything on it.

Mama, how was your day?

[paulywogg]

Nora,I dunno if Zoloft would have worked for me cuz I drank the whole time on it like an idiot,I told her maybe she should give it a try,poor thing sorry your mom is anxious but its for a reason ya know? Hey Fen

[paulywogg]

BTW, I'm so glad I'm not drinking cuz I'd be of no use to Kell with my head stuck in a beer can.
