Good morning to you, sweetie. I hope that things are doing well. Make sure that you take care of yourself...that is so important.

Yesterday is kind of alright. I guess that is the best that I could say about it. Kind of slipped into some kind of depression...I hope and pray that it is gone today but I kind of feel it hanging on. Bill is having some problems at work and it is upsetting me. I was not in a good mood last night when I went to bed but I slept good. Another sign of depression....at least for me...sleeping. I do that a lot in depression.

B: nothing
L: iced coffee
D: scrambled egg with cheese, 4 small (and I mean small)bacon
S: nothing

Things went well at the doctor's appointments. I felt good yesterday and so far today. Had more energy yesterday than I have had in a long time. I liked that a lot!!!

I am sending love and hugs to you, dear one and prayers are being said for you and yours. Have a great day..it is Wednesday....the week is almost done and then it is the WEEK END!!! Hooray!

Don't forget to scatter..it is in scattering we gather and harvest!

                    It's not what you gather, but what you scatter 
                        that tells what kind of life you have lived.

Brenda,do you take anything for depression? You have gone through alot, What does a good  appointment mean???? Is everything cleared up?????
I know it is hard to rest when you are worried about Bill,I hope his job security is not in jeopardy.
You do need rest,and I hope that is all that is wrong. I may call you tomorrow.

Linda, the good appointment is that the I.D. doctor said that things are looking good. There is no sign of infection and she did the same thing with the medicated packing that she did last week. No one changes it at all and then next Tuesday I go to see her again. She was told about the problem with the antibiotics that I had last week and she said alright and that she wasn't going to put me on another one now since she wants to save what tummy I have.

The pcp appointment went well too. She is glad that I got into the I.D. doctor and she is taking good care of things. I go see her for the appointment that I have in 2 weeks and then we are going back to monthly as usual. So that is good too.

I think things are looking up...but I am afraid to say it to loud for fear of it not. I am sure you know what I am talking about.

Bill's field manager is being a real _______! I can't stand him. I have never met him but talked to him several times on the phone. He is an idiot and that is being to nice! He throws his weight around to make him seem like a big man and to me if you have to do that you are anything but a big man. It just shows that you are a small one if you ask me. It is a long story about what is going on....but next week Bill and his boss at the plant is both getting 2 days off without pay...I told Bill we are screwed now...we barely make it most times anymore. I am worried sick...I have to give it over to God but it sure is hard to do! I am working on it..honest I am!

Please call me...I love talking to you and we need to have a good talk!

I am praying today is a better day for you. Honey please take good care of yourself....I am worried!!

As for Olivia taking away the grands....she will be sorry one day....what goes around comes around! That is really selfish of her after all you have done for all of them....she should be ashamed of her behavior. Your grandchildren will come back to you one day!!

My prayers continue.....you are not alone.

Good morning, Linda.

Monday evening, my husband yelled at me for letting the dogs bark and wake him up when he was trying to sleep.  All day yesterday I felt guilty about it.  I thought, "He's going to be in a foul mood about it when he gets home from work, and I deserve it."  But when he got home, he was all cheerful and happy to see me and the dogs, apologized for yelling at me, and gave me $200 cash as an early birthday present so I'll have spending money in Seattle.  Sometimes guilt is a good thing!

B: multi-grain English muffin with chicken liver pate
S: iced skinny latte
L: salmon burger, eggplant & feta salad
S: apple with chocolate PB2 dip
D: tofu in peanut sauce, summer squash
S: strawberries stuffed with sweetened ricotta

Good morning,  Sorry to hear that some of you aren't doing well.  We have no control over what others do but we can control our own reactions.  Here's a little affirmation that works for me.

I am healthy, happy and free.  I am available to more good than I have ever imagined, experienced or manifested before.

For anyone interested in more affirmations, please check out the highly motivational You Can Heal Your Life by Louise Hay.

Yesterday was productive.  Got the news that all parties have agreed to the retirement compromise.  I'll be getting 42% of my salary for the rest of my life and medical insurance paid.  I will supplement this with rental income from the spare room, investments and possibly some part time work.  I also finished the driver class for my speeding ticket and scored 95% on the exam.  Glad to get that off my record.  And I took the dog and my new bike up to the airstrip to get familiar with it before street riding.  Haven't been on a bike in decades but guess you never really forget, like they say.

Made a yummy stir fry with leftover chicken and lots of veggies.  Didn't have any chicken stock so used a tomato bouillon cube with water, cornstarch and a little teriyaki sauce.  It turned out surprisingly good, especially since there were cherry tomatos in there along with pattipan squash, onion and a little corn.

Food was better yesterday too.  I ate coffee, Kashi, yogurt for breakfast.  Lunch was chicken and cherries, dinner was chicken stir fry, Snacks were cottage cheese with pineapple, a SF fudge cycle, a bit of P-But and jelly.

Today I plan to finish spreading the chips and give my bedroom a good cleaning when the weather heats up.  Live, laugh, love and be happy.  CV Linda

CV Linda - I am glad that everything is working out okay for your retirement.  Having a spare room to rent out, which will give you a little jingle in your jeans, is a good idea.
I love Louise Hay.  I have two copies of You Can Heal Your Life - one is older and the other is a newer, more colourful version.  I also have a CD  of her affirmations, one of which is  "I'm so glad that you are here" and it makes me cry every time that I listen to it.
Have a great day.  I'm going to get familiar with my Louise Hay books again.  Thanks.
