    I have not stepped on the scale in two weeks. With the stress of my mom's sickness and passing, I have done a lot of emotional eating. Hopefully, after the new year I will settle down. Funeral tomorrow and just hope there is no discord between siblings, etc. With 5 you never know. I think it is neat that 3 of the grandchildren and 3 spouses of grandchildren will be pallbearers. My sister and brother said she looked beautiful. Just hope I keep it all together as I have a tendency to cry buckets. Your prayers will be appreciated.

    Allie ~ I have no words for you. I just hope you do what is best for you and that you will follow what your instincts tell you. I think we all have an inner voice that will guide us if we listen.

    carol we are with you in spirit, take it one moment at a time. Every tear that falls is healing. I know what you mean with a big family, it really can be tricky. I will say that I was surprised at my mothers service by all the tiny moments of love that were remembered and I witnessed some little gestures between siblings that took the sting out of some of the other difficult bits. Sending <3

    B) Carol - Sunglasses to hide puffy eyes. They'll be more sensitive to the sun when you get out in it. <3

    Did I not finish my post? I am back in the hospital. Last night I was able to gently blow my nose which caused another bleed. By the time I was actually seen in the ER, the nose bleed was over but the main reason I went was the dizziness, and I mean dizziness. They gave me a bolus of. Fluids to see if they could he,p with that and gave me the choice to go home or not since they couldn't find a thing wrong except the dizziness. So after the bolus and supper, I asked to go to the bathroom again. They used the wheel chair to get me there but I was still real dizzy and very short of breath. So here I am, 5 days before our family Christmas

    Mary: that's how we make our stew, I do add cream, need more calories.

    Margaret: we had 8 cancel due to flu or weather, still had close to 20 people. The weather did hold until after 12 then 94 closed due to ice and wind .

    Happy New Years to all! Gayle Minneapolis

    Hi Gals,

    Peach – so sorry!!! Sending hugs

    Rori – Love the idea of the cat sending cards…

    Barbie – feel better soon!!!!

    Allie – Tom having a lady friend helps explain his behavior and to me means even more important that you get legal support, get your ducks in a row – and then as pip said, “Ask him about it, straight up” LATER- good job on asking and taking care of you. And Margaret said it all so much better than I ever could.


    Joyce – sending hugs.


    December Goals:

    Write Christmas letter, and have all cards ready to send by Dec1…this was for nov. but still working on it.
    Read and report on a book
    Log everyday to the best I can, over if need be.
    11,000 + steps everyday
    Work on water consumption –
    Lunch with Kyle - Done

    Smiles.

    Allie~ Hugs to give you strength in all that you will need to do. I agree with whomever said to document everything. Every conversation you have from him from now on. Having an attorney be the mediator is a good thing. We all love ya and wish only the best for you from now on....
