Well, I have responded to everyone who chatted today.
Soon is my daughter's wedding and she has calmed down. It is my fault too that we argue, it is not her only. We have the Italian spiciness in us.......from my mother, my aunts and so on. I don't want to argue like that again. It hurts too much.
Again, not much going on, but I am going to go into cognitive behavior therapy. I am tired of anxiety getting me down all the time. Doing that as soon as the wedding is over. It is almost two weeks away. Holy c***.
My weight hardly ever changes; I wanted to weigh 30 pounds less than I do, but I have bad knees and it is difficult to exercise. Without exercise it is almost impossible to lose weight. Most of the time, I don't eat much.
I also want to have a surgery called Sinus Balloon Sinuplasty done. Medicare covers it, and I am so so tired of post nasal drip, horrible headaches, dizziness, trouble breathing. It is an outpatient procedure that takes less than an hour. I go to the doctor tomorrow to start the ball rolling. Anything to be able to breathe right again.
To all whom post who I have not addressed, I send my love.
To Vicki, you are an awesome Mimi. You are wonderful with the grandchildren. I do understand that it exhausts you though. You are doing fantastic with the weight loss. What are you eating again? It is another day of CRS for me again today.
To Connie, it upsets me to see you in pain every day. Take care of yourself.
To everyone, I send my love and prayers and take care of yourselves.
With love.
So sorry to hear Rick's aunt has pancreatic cancer. Prayers coming her/your way. Will be swinging chickens too.
Goodness, don't know who Rick's little princess is, but getting thrown down the stairs, holy crap. If it were me, the thrower would end up in the hospital. I would not take that kind of abuse. And with 3 kids, what a shame. I cry at situations like this because it teaches the children to be abusers. What a sad situation.
I love your posts, Judy, most of the time they are hilarious, today is a serious one.
Take care dear.
Love, Arlene.
My new baby is coming in or around June 19. We r going to Chicago cause Carl hasn't seen Vin since September and I told him he needed some time with her before number 2 came around. C
I wish you the absolute best on your job hunt. I am on SS and it sucks being broke. It really sucks.
I am happy Jazz's mom is getting married. No big ceremony is needed. It is the union of 2 people in marriage that counts. People tend to get carried away with weddings..........like my daughter.
About those protein bars, AUGH. I am still addicted. I love them. Even with upper dentures, I haven't stopped. But they fill me up and I don't eat much. You will make it weight wise. It is so so difficult. It really is. I exercised and ate only protein and under fifty grams of carbs for 10 months while I lost most of my weight. Then, about 9 months out, the honeymoon period was over. I was more hungry.
If you love protein, try to eat clean and protein first. If you can, eat the dense protein first an then vegetables. It is so difficult to eat this way forever. We were supposed to eat 800 calories or less, and under fifty grams of protein. My issue was that I don't like to eat meat that much.
As far as Jazz's mom being a Veteran and being denied SSI, that is way too sad. Hope she keeps trying; I know people who tried and tried and finally got benefits. The fact that she is a Veteran she should get the benefits.
Take care and good luck.

Trish, hope the dealership doesn't hit you for a lot. I need to go get my car serviced too but can't afford it right now. Good luck.
Hi Carla and my OFF family:
Well, it's my last day of vacation. I had an appointment with my psychologists, and we had a lot to talk about. One thing was that youknowho got a job. Yup, the one I got called for a reference. Well, I'm glad he's employed. Not that I'll ever see that money. I found out about it from this woman who knows him that had friended me on Facebook. I told her to let him know I don't want any contact from him. So I talked about that with my shrink, among other things.
I put a bunch of stuff on eBay last night to sell. Trying to clear out the stuff in the apartment, plus I need money. A little here, a little there. Already got some bids, plus one who wants to buy the things now. Always a good thing. So I'll make a little money.
Anyway, not much else happening. Going to watch the White Sox game today. Didn't go to the Y today; my body really hurts today, so I'm taking a day off. I think we're going to get rain today or tomorrow.
Carla, enjoy your time with Vinnie. When's the new baby coming?
Judy, sorry to hear about Rick's aunt.
Kathy, good luck on the job hunt.
Well, have a good day.
Hi Patricia,
Hope your trip to get your car repaired doesn't cost a fortune. The gas door latch doesn't work? I hope it is something small. Have a productive therapy appointment.
I am thinking, or rather will start therapy with a cognitive behaviorial therapist soon. I am sick of my anxiety holding me down.
Have a wonderful day otherwise.

I am happy you are loving your trip on your way to see Vinnie. Carla, I am jealous. You don't stay in one place for long, lol. And now you have your better half with you.
I've traveled through VA and yes it is beautiful. I love, love the hills; Florida being so flat.
Have a wonderful trip and have fun!
Kathy, I don't know if they have this kind of job around there, but my brother is driving cars for Enterprise. He drives them from their lots to the dealers for resale. He gets $8 an hour, which isn't much but it gets him something to supplement his Social Security. He found his job on Monster.
Hi OFF Family...just a quick stop in right now...Need Prayers for Rick's Aunt Peggy!!! She DOES have pancreatic cancer!!! She is getting a CT Scan to see how invasive it is and will know soon to see what can/can't be done. Rick is scared to death he is going to lose his favorite aunt!!! So if you would please Pray or swing those chickens....Thankyou all!!!!
