[patrice]

Hi all,
I've had a fairly grim weekend.. Had a really bad stomach. All weekend, grrr guess it's going to take a while to rebuild all the good bacteria after my food poisoning...
I haven't done much, been really weak.
Away next weekend for my sober holiday with Mum!
Hope all is ok for you guys
Xx
Pat

Pav I just cant believe all the junk I have going on. I miss having hubbs so much to help be cope. I hate being alone in all this. I loved being a couple. Now I am a single and it just doesnt feel right. sigh..
Going to shop with gal from church for 2 funerals this week. I will help her shop but I am taking a leave from the committed for now. I just cant handle the funerals right now..maybe never I dont know. I need to find some activity that make me HAPPY not sad.
Gym gal on vacation this week so I need to do this on my own. My weight has leveled off now and I still have 25 pounds I want to lose. I know it wont happen overnight. Maybe more exercise will help and help me sleep too.
Grief counselor and group too but I do need some other social outlet that is not sad or makes me cry. I am tired of crying first thing in the morning....I know it serves a purpose in the grieving process but this all sucks and not fair....

Dottie, you are going through SO much. I went through that kind of stuff with my dad, it was so hard but I was not alone. I had my mom, brother and husband here but it was still very painful. Hope you enjoy shopping at leas a little bit.

SL, clean sheets, oh yeah! I might wash mine too. I love clean sheets. I will think of you when I put them on.

Her, having a lazy day sounds great.
Pav, those dreams are crazy! Maybe dream of killingAL for us. He needs to be gone.
Pat, hope you feel better,, TT what kind of vaccination was that?

NS, Pat, TT, all the health food peeps, I am making bone broth today. It is supposed to be really good for us. I an going to eat more fermented foods too. Kefir, yogurt, sauerkraut. Yummy.
We are making a trip out to the mountains this morning. That will be nice. The Rocky Mountains are just beautiful. Google some pics of them. We are going to Canmore, Alberta.

Talk soon. Xo

We are going

Happy Un-Hung Sunday morning. Off to enjoy the day...

[scottish lass]

Ditto what Pav said!
Not much in the plans today and that is fine with me - another busy work week coming up with an audit! Keeps me out of trouble!
Pav hope all ok today - I am sure your son hurts today. No seat belt, I can add my lecture to that!! Hate getting the young folks who make easy mistakes coming across my line of work....hopefully it will be a great lesson learned.
Nar - should have taken my winter blanket off - way too toasty last night!
Have a lovely day friends

Hi, Gloamers.

Pav, I'm so glad your son is ok. Both my kids had minor accidents early in their driving careers. I think they were kind of blessings in disguise - knocked those illusions of invincibility right down. I'm so glad your son wasn't seriously hurt. Hope he realizes that the seatbelt thing is non-negotiable.

I don't think I can even type out my weirdest dream b/c it is so culturally taboo but it made me sure that we shouldn't put too much stock in dreams because there is no way I would ever want that dream to come true (kind of like drinking dreams now :smile.

Bone broth is so delicious, Nar. Hope you like how yours turned out. I make Kombucha tea and really like that. I'm going to try to ferment vegetables as soon as good ones are available at the farmers' markets. How were the mountains?

Bear, you always seem to have a lot going on! Hope you enjoy your upcoming 10 days of leisure.

Pat and DB, I hope today was a better one for both of you.

Good luck with your audit, SL!

How's Monday looking, TT? It's going to be a long and busy one for me.

I'm enjoying an evening of leisure and solitude in my nice hotel. Just saw a fascinating segment on 60 minutes about treating brain tumors with polio virus!

[little beagle]

NS I saw a blip on the news about that treatment.
My latest dream was trying to fit the dogs into the washing machine because they were so dirty. One of them has a cough and has been coughing up mucus all over the house. So it was laundry all day and I changed my sheets twice today. But I did get it to settle down a bit and probably going to the vet tomorrow.
But I am glad I'm unhung for all this activity.
Dottie big hugs. I remember when my daughter's aunt passed that I cried until my eyes were raw. I'm glad you're getting out a little. And not going to the funerals is definately tye right thing for you to do.
Have a good one everyone.

Hi.

More homework fights today but we ended the day with a nice salmon dinner outside in the beautiful weather. My family pulled me from the brink. I think I was corrected by my older who asked why I was so crabby. I didn't really have an answer so I decided to stop being crabby. Took a bit of effort, but well worth it (I'm certain my family would agree). I used a delicious recipe that included a cooked cucumber and tarragon topping. We all loved it.

LB- that's it - a washing machine for dogs!

Thanks for the well wishes about my son. He thinks his foot might have a break because it hurts so much. He's walking pretty well and my experience with breaks is that they hurt like hell, so maybe he's just bruised. We'll see.

Off to bed. I'm reading a great book (violent and not usually my thing, but so well written).

Happy New Week, all.

Pav

[Dottie Belle]

Morning all,
I am so tired of getting up and crying. Not sure what to do about this but it starts off my day in a real funk.
I do have lots of things to complete today. I just dont have any energy. So used to having him around to help me that this is all overwhelming at times.
Nursing home OT folks called with some ideas so I will follow up on that. Way too much for one person to handle but there is no one else so here I am. sigh
Dogs are fed and I am having my morning beverage. How did life get to be this way when I had such great plans....

[narilly]

Good morning everyone. Un Hung Mon today. Love that.

Dottie, Good morning. Hope your day goes better. Hang in there and keep talking to us and your friends close by.

Pav, that supper sounded yummy. Glad you decided to get Un Grumpy.

SL, my husband said it was too hot last night too. (maybe its because I'm so Hot..haha!)
My kids are gone to University and travelling so it is just the two of us right now. My hubby is annoying me SO much. I try and appreciate him. I see how much pain Dottie is going through but sometimes I think I just don't like him. He drives me nuts. He is SO forgetful, we went to the mountains yesterday and he forgot his wallet. (common occurrence). He forgets stuff ALL the time. I think one day he is going to suffer from some kind of dementia or something. He has had multiple concussions in his lifetime. Anyway, he is much better now that he does not drink but is still a pain.
Sorry, I know I should appreciate him but it is hard sometimes. He doesn't have a job right now and that doesn't help.

Have a good day everyone.
NS, I will let you know how my broth turns out, I will be eating some tonight. YUM!

[scottish lass]

Morning all - just getting ready for our audit that starts tomorrow, so jumping in quickly.
Talking of teens - my 16yo who is my easiest to get along with has a teacher who she struggles with and has been getting at her for little things - I think I mentioned an incident over choice of clothes - so i have been trying to get my girl to conform with this teachers requests - and yesterday we had a little disagreement over a new top I bought her and said it was not for school, today it was a big blow up over another top. We are struggling so hard with grades that it does not seem worth pissing this teacher off, but my girl does not see that - I have a stinking headache now...hate disagreements over trivial things...happy Monday huh???

Pav - tried some Haagen Dazs chocolate gelato last night - it was really good!!!

[little beagle]

SL I'm sorry for your daughter's struggles with school. It's hard enough to get them interested let alone have to fight over clothes.
Pav I thought about your son's close call today. Glad he didn't get hurt worse then he did.
Jane that color combination sounds nice.
Dottie I second Jane's sentiments. I'm glad you are here with us.
Narilly what a beautiful place to visit.

[Dottie Belle]

thanks everyone. I am moving forward as best as I can....the counselor thought I was doing well too.
Lots to do this week that will keep me busy and bring some joy.

[scottish lass]

So happy you have a possibility of joy DB.
Long day but did get a text this evening from my girl - hopefully she understands...but we are back on good footing for the moment.
Up waaaay to early in the morning to be at corporate office before the auditors arrive - after a crazy long week on call I am running low on zzzz's...
Hope all get good rest and a great Tuesday....
