Thoughtful Thursday (1st March)

Saint Jude, you are in my thoughts and prayers......

again, where is Waves???..did I miss something??

I got some sad news yesterday and drank more than planned...

work was absolutley surreal today..I had several people threaten to quit with a rumor going around that when I develop this other program that I am leaving...the therapists that I left in charge while I have been out sick here and there do NOT know how to manage...
I actually had licensed mental health therapist crying in my office today.....I feel like the only "normal" person in my office right now......

Just catching up on todays thread..I know I am not an every day poster, but I am an every day reader..

Judie...I am so sorry about your "mema". She was obviously very special to you as well as to a lot of other people around her.

Beaches, I can only imagine how hard it is right now getting ready to find a school for your little one...I don't think we have ever spoken in person...besides being a mom of 2, I am a psychologist who evaluates kids with difficulties...some of which have PDD...so I understand from that perspective how hard it is...I promise...with lots of good parent support...it WILL be ok....I have seen it so many times...so...don't forget that...

Allie...gosh, I soooo hope the littlie kittie (Zoe?) is ok...as you are not a dog person, I am not such a cat person, but truth is, I am a total sucker for anything alive that doesn't bite...so...I so hope this little being is ok...Gosh..if he/she??? were in my house...hubby would be kicked out of the bed...I am such a softie when it comes to these little guys...I swear...I get out of my car to shoo the lizards out of the way (we have these here in florida) so I don't back over them before I leave the house.....


Well...good night all

HI all,

If any of you are reading this, I started a thread for a Gypsi update in GD. Her husband is in hospice, has not had food or drink in 9 days. Please say your prayers for them both.

Thoughtful Thursday (1st March)

Morning, all. Last night we went out to dinner with my son's family. It was a lot of fun. My granddaughter is 3, at the peak of cuteness. She sat quietly coloring, and then she talked about boyfriends and who she is going to marry. This is new. I had the grilled trout with spinach and squash, and I had two small glasses of house wine. My goal was to be abstinent during lent, but I find it impossible not to order wine with a meal. So the compromise I'm making with myself is wine in restaurants only. Of course, we eat out almost every night, so that's still wine every day, but it's two glasses at the most, and I think that's livable. Also, I've been keeping up with my exercise routine. I never thought that workouts would be so essential to my well-being. Theoretically, I always thought so, but practically...for me...a resolute non-athlete? It's really become the lynch-pin of my whole moderation enterprise. It shows me I can have self-discipline.

At school, we are marching toward spring break. It's a time when seniors are apt to have break..downs. You'd be surprised at how crazy they can get.
