Wake up! It's Saturday-What's New?
i am wondering if you have a local Y with a pool? so many say aquatic exercise is so much easier on the joints etc and i would think balance would be good too- i know that it takes money to join a Y so i understand if this is not an option...or a local high school pool? soemthing...
if you get yourself out today and just walk around your complex a bit- you will feel better-physically-fresh air and sunshine and about yourself for doing it--baby steps sweetie...baby steps--and then do it again tomorrow....
i know from our first "meeting" when michael's son died --by phone only-that you are a good person and after spending some time in dallas with you it was confirmed--- food is an addiction and some of us can handle it better than others- many of us would benefit from MJ and it's awesome that you can get whatever you can from her--
know that i am here loving you no matter what your size--wishing mainly for better health for you sweetone!!!! and i have faith that you will get yourself pulled back up and into the sunlite on this one!!!
sometimes baby steps are the best --one at a time...
hugssssssssss
I get up every morning determined to both change the world and have one hell of a good time. Sometimes this makes planning my day difficult.

I deal with the same exercise issues as you, but because my knees and back are so bad. I really want to get back in the pool and maybe after the first of year, when my finances are better, I may be able to.
I think putting things down in print help ... which is why I post here everyday and go to my psychologist every other week. I need to express myself ... if I don't get it out, I stuff it down with food, and that's not good (as you and I know).
Karen, if you need to talk, I'm always here. It's better to talk than to eat.

Hi Margo and my OFF family:
Well, it's 12:35 p.m. here, raining and chilling and windy ... it's really miserable again. Sort of how I feel. Actually, I'm feeling better and trying to put a "positive spin" on next week. That's what my boss told me to do. I was trying to do that before his talk anyway. I went to talk with him just to ask some simple questions and it wound up in a shouting match, with me in tears again ... I didn't want to do that. I just wanted him to know why I was resisting this so much, what happened last summer ... I thought he knew how I felt about what happened last summer, but then he was on sick leave with his heart surgery and didn't have a clue. He said if I didn't put a "positive spin" on this, I would be out of a job ... well, don't I know that! He had sent out an e-mail to everyone in the newsroom about this yesterday, so people were coming up to me and congratulating about the move ... well, I'm not happy about it, so what am I going to say? One woman, April, who does the editorial pages, asked me how I felt and I just said I'm not happy, it's not my choice. I know she understood because she sat next to me when I first arrived and Hank sat next to me too in the same cluster. So she saw what happened with Hank.
Last night after work, my coworker Kim and I went out for a drink, and we were joined by one of the Metro editors, Rick. I figured I'd be buying my own beer, but then Kim bought my beer (I only had one ... it's all I can drink) and Rick bought the nachos that we shared. It was nice ... I really needed that "attitude adjustment." They made me laugh and things didn't seem so dark. I'm still not looking forward to next week, but I will do my job the best I can, as I always did. I doubt, however, I will volunteer to work any more holidays, even though it means more money. They've gotten the last extras out of me.
Talked to my mom this morning; Aunt Bernice's funeral was very hard on her. I knew it would be and I wish I could've been there for her. I know my brothers, sister-in-law and even my sister were there ... can't believe Rosemary took off from work to go to the funeral! I know with all that's gone on this week, I should've just taken off the two days and gone to the funeral ... I have been mourning Aunt Bernice too and needed to be with my family. Maybe that's why this stuff at work i****ting me so hard and I haven't been able to accept it. I'm trying really hard to accept ... I really am. But looking back, maybe it's just the two deaths in the past two weeks have just thrown me for a loop. And Aunt Bernice's death, even though it was expected for so long ... well, I needed to be with my family, and I couldn't.
Anyway, enough of that ... Have a good day. My psychologist is getting married today ... too bad the weather couldn't cooperate, although the colors outside here are super-saturated because the sun isn't out now. So beautiful.
Have a good day.
I'm here, I'm alive. . . . tho a bit tired! Actually I'm doing better than I would have thought. Two weeks of on the go in Italy with 14 hours of plane travel on each end. Followed by "twin sitting" for three days. Finally got home on Wednesday afternoon. Wow, does my home and neck of the woods look so spacious. After sharing motel rooms, a tour bus, and literally being in the "pocket" of 36 people for almost two weeks "space" is nice.
Had a wonderful trip. To spend time in 2000 year old buildings and ruins like Pompeii fulfilled dreams of a lifetime. It was expensive, certainly won't be repeated anytime soon, but I'm glad I went. It does make me realize that there are many wonderful places here in my own country that I haven't visited.
I walked miles each day, had absolutely no health issues, could even use the little "midget" bathroom on the tour bus if necessary. Paying for water and bathrooms got old, but no problems with mobility whatsoever. I took a folding cane along just in case but didn't even get it out of its package.
I think my computer is about dead. Have been having a hard time getting my pictures loaded. I'll try to get a few posted soon.
So sorry to read about health and family issues many of our little family are suffering. Know that I am holding you all close to my heart and hoping for favorable outcomes in your lives.
Take care,
Karen C
