Hi all! Sunny but extremely windy today. Wind storms are New Mexico spring storms. I am used to storms having rain snow and/ or thunder-lightning with them! The constant sun has helped my depression a lot. It would be gone except for DH’s fits.

Hi friends. Well it’s been spring here for 2 days in a row. I’m still not convinced LOL. We are supposed to have a blizzard this weekend. Geez!
Yesterday was one of the worst days ever at work. We have room “issues”…classes being mysteriously bumped from their classrooms for another class. It was the third of three days in a row this happened, plus I had a stack of old pizza boxes (some with pizza in them still) Monday in my class at noon. They were left from Saturday. BLEH!!!
Needless to say, lots of stress eating last night. I finally have recognized that I do that and at least I am aware of it when I am actually doing it. So it was more contained than usual. What I figured out is that my worst barrier to success is continually re-setting my alarm so that I sleep way too late and can’t put a good breakfast and lunch together. I don’t like putting my lunch together the night before, although I can prep some of it, but I need to stop resetting the alarm.
Becca: glad you are making progess!
Okie: such good ideas. I started buying the pre-packaged salads with dressing and add ons and I can cook a chicken breast the night before. I’ll try to start.
Barbie: I have had as many as 3 cats and a dog in my lap at once! Cute picture!
Terri: (((hugs))) I understand. When all this came down with DH I was screwing up all the time, which is why I ended up confiding in my bosses and co-workers so they could “have my back” and catch my screw-ups or not come down on me if I did. Huh…I just got a text from a co-worker complaining about a decision I made yesterday and how she should have known. I guess you can’t please anyone. But I do understand.
Yvonne: OMG now I have that song in my head! I guess that’s the intent of having a day for it!
Wendy: wow that’s quite a menu! I haven’t even heard of some of those products. Glad it works for you. I have never liked any of the non-dairy substitutes, but have never seen Angel cheese.
Roundbutsound: welcome aboard. What shall we call you?
Lisa: safe moving and travels!
Allie: good plan; take care of yourself.
Pip: what did I miss? What’s the scan for?
Heather: I just love the way you eat. I too feel very satisfied with a long, multi-course meal.
Alright friends, time to go proctor an exam and I’ll double check the weather to make sure the sun is still shining. I have a hard time believing that it’s spring! Take care, meg from Omaha

Lanette - I love to eat around a table too, especially with friends, and when we are self catering on holiday we always do that for just the two of us.
Luckily we never run out of things to say. 
On our cruise we have a table just for the two of us and spin the meal out as long as possible by just having tiny portions. Last year the waiter kept my stinky cheese back for me alone. 
We are newly weds of course - just 13 years married. Our 15th 'meeting anniversary' is next month.
However, I have to admit that we eat our ordinary, everyday dinners while watching TV in the living room. I serve it during the news. Then we have a cup of tea and the TV goes off for an hour and the dessert is served just before we switch it back on at 8pm. Then a bit later I fetch a bite of cheese and soon afterwards we have the chocolate.
We decide together what to watch. If I want to watch something DH doesn't like I go upstairs to the bedroom TV. If he wants to watch football or something he goes upstairs. He also watches football online on his laptop with the sound turned off. I can't see it because it is behind my head. This arrangement works well for us, though it is me who normally decides on the TV schedule, which I plan through "The Guide" we get with the paper on Saturday. I do choose the quiz shows he likes and record my favourites if they clash. We have the volume lower than some people. I often do something on my tablet while he watches the quizzes, like Duolingo through headphones. I have just completed the Swedish course. :drinker:
I think it is very important to have guidelines for a happy marriage and rules that you both agree on and stick to. It is no good if one person is resentful. There is usually a compromise to be reached that makes both parties happy.
Looking forward to my dinner already!

Good morning ladies! Our 3 week Keto challenge is going well! My husband has hit a new low. So far he has lost 10 pounds since we started prepping last week. The scale is still moving down for me as well. I've dropped another .8 of a pound for a total of 5.6 pounds. I know most of this is the burning up of my glycogen stores but it just tells me that this way of eating really works for me. Now it's time to go swing my kettle bell. Like Rita said it is extremely windy today but beautiful sunshine as usual! After I swing the kettle bell I plan on going to the pool and swim and hot tub. Then for the afternoon there is an hour class of water aerobics here. In between time I will be taking Shep to the dog run and throwing the ball for him! I have been taking him to the dog park with another lady from here every other day. On those days after we get home he can hardly move! A very gross thing happened to Shep, I felt a lump on his hip the size of my pinky finger it looked like a bite because it had a crusty covering. I thought it might be full of pus so I squeezed it and what came out looked like eggs! The whole thing came out the thickness of my pinky finger and at least an inch long. Looking it up I guess there are several insects, and spiders that will lay eggs on a host and burrow under the skin.
Have a great day everyone!

kirby and i ride bikes year round. on his way home off the bus to home, 2 years now, he got hit by a car when crossing the street. he hit the windshield and flew 20-30 feet. spent 17 days in hospital and rehab. from that (4 days b4 that he had ran a marathon). from that he developed central cord syndrome that affected his spine and feeling on the right side (side he got hit on). last few months, the numbness has been creeping to his left side. hence the MRI 2c what has changed to make that happen. he's been back on the bike and running but not the same anymore. a new normal...
he's hoping they don't find anything. i am the opposite, i hope they DO find something so we can know what to do from there. if they don't find anything, then there will be more questions9 -
Reverse mortgages is another word for 'second mortgage' or 'refinance mortgage' or 'home equity loan' ... the bank or whoever it is done through puts a 'lien' on the house, even 'if' the children have not signed anything and they hope they can get the house or be paid off if and when the house has to be sold in order to complete the probate of a Will. One, in some states, can do their own probate if there aren't any debts and the beneficiaries agree and it is a simple Will leaving their belongings to their children or whoever. Insurance does not fall under probation of a Will unless the person has named the 'estate' as the beneficiary. They name a specific beneficiary because that money is general what gets used to pay for the funeral, maybe their last illness, or go ahead and divide, there are a lot of ways to word a Will that 'protects' the children from being looked at to pay off these types of mortgages. They haven't been 'in effect' long enough for someone to raise a stink about it being a 'bait and switch' tactic (which it is, they 'bait' mostly older people who are elderly and have a lot of equity in their home because they've paid it off or way down). It sounds good when they advertise that they can use it for any reason; but, it is a lie and if your parents discuss with you anything about a 'reverse mortgage' ask questions and do your best to discourage it. Even a 'home equity' loan is a 2nd mortgage. Most elderly people have Medicare and a lot of 'city' hospital that serve people with Medicare (and Medicaid) have to 'write off' what Medicare and any secondary insurance pays - as payment 'in full'. IF you do get a bill for this, call and tell them that you have always been told that if Medicare pays anything at all, and there is a balance it is supposed to be 'written off'. I've found that gets done for most of my medical bills; but, I also have a very good secondary insurance - and all my MDs are 'in my program'. I just changed from paying the premium for a 'family' to a "Me plus One" for myself and my husband. I found this out when I called OPM and asked about my 'life insurance' with them. It's 'term'; but, it won't go below $11,500. It has now started working backward and in 14 months .... that will be what it is worth. Enough to give me a nice funeral with some left over. For so long as we have a mortgage, we must carry 'life insurance' so that the house will be paid off after we die so the other doesn't have to continue making payments on it. I certainly could not afford the payments on it without the extra income that comes into this house because of DH's SSI and the fact that at the age of 76, he is still working. That isn't always going to be the case. He is getting 'tired' of it; but, until DOS goes back to school to further his education and get a job that he wants, that is why he works. I can get very 'resentful' of this - but, nothing is going to change at this moment. DDnL#1 is 'unhappy' at the job she has and makes far more than any other job she has ever had - 'because the other women are talking about her' or 'they don't show her what she is supposed to do'. The woman that 'harps' on her is not even her 'supervisor' and she even went so far as to tell 'her' supervisor that she was probably going to be giving him her notice. He asked her 'why' and when she told him the truth; he told her that the other woman isn't her supervisor and has no ability to fire her and he is happy with what she is doing and told her to 'ignore' her. She is way too immature and undisciplined to do that. I've told her to 'keep her head down, do her job, and don't worry about 'what' they might be talking about when she isn't 'included' in the conversation. She's got great benefits that even cover oldest granddaughter through the age of 26, if she doesn't get married or have a job that gives her health insurance. Also has a good retirement and the company will match up to 6% of what she puts in. She's got it 'made in the shade' and is just 'too stupid' to realize that. She is 'hot' and 'cold' about the job and this creates a lot of stress o DOS. He has told her 'that IF she quits the job or gets fired for insubordination (which was what happened 2 jobs ago) ... he'd file for a divorce. Of course, he 'says' that; but, we doubt he would go through with it. "He loves her" don't 'cha know. I look at her and think to myself (and say to Louis) ... 'if she isn't bipolar I will kiss your @$$'. It is just a matter of time before she 'breaks down' and I hate it for her; but, especially for DOS. DYS won't come around because after she was so ugly to his wife, he has NO USE for her, at all. Sorry for the rant and rave, just had to get that off my chest. I miss my 'baby' son and his wife and our granddaughter; but, I can certainly understand why he feels the way he does. I can also realize why I feel the way I do ... she emailed me with almost 20 years of 'resentment' that we've talked through many times. I don't think I have said 20 words to her since Christmas. Whenever I have to be in the hospital, she treats me like I'm an idiot when I get home. Christmas Day was the first time I felt like the 'hug' I got from her had any meaning behind it. Haven't seen her but once since and they live next door (but, not stuck right under us. Another thing she does is 'ride' on the grass instead of on the driveway. It pissed Louis off because she had done it so much that there are ruts in it. He keeps threatening to put stake and chains along our side of the driveway - but actually, the driveway (until you turn into the back of where they park behind their home - is actually on our side of the property. I told him, to just DO IT! Don't warn her again and don't feel like he has to tell DOS about it again. She 'says' she doesn't want to ride on the driveway because it has nails in it. Well, that is strange, I don't think I've ever had a nail in my tires due to a nail in the driveway. We'd love to be able to put gravel down; but, that costs about $300 a truckload and it would probably take 5 loads (to do it right). Surprisingly, our county commissioner got rock put down from our driveway down to the bridge on the other side of our neighbors. We gave them permission to drive up our firebreak; if the road was ever too muddy for them to get up the hill.
OK, that's it for the day!

Rye - you have been on my mind. Hope you are doing well and are back with us soon. I am missing your kitty report among other things.
Becca -- LOVE those pictures! What a cute house! And those deer! Have you picked out a spot to do some sunbathing yet? . Glad you are getting unpacked and settled in, probably good for your DH to get into a schedule and situated. Is your son still off ship or have they sent him off again?
Barbie - that looks like our house with my DH on the recliner and the 2 dogs stretched out on his legs. No room for the cat, lol.
I was just thinking of what a year it has been so far for many of us with the moves! Lisa, Becca, Heather. Moves and home improvement projects. On to new adventures and they say only the kids have those opportunities. NO way!
And I also had some thoughts about what this group is about after our recent weight discussion. My Fitness Pal.
What is fitness and how is that measured? Twenty five years ago, I really was tied to the scale. If I weighed 145 and wore a size 10-12, at 5' 9", I thought I was fit. If I looked good in my outfit on the rare times I went to the gym, I thought I was fit. Even though my blood pressure was 145/95 on a good day. Hey, I "looked" as fit as anyone my age, maybe fitter.
Push the clock ahead to now...I have much different fitness goals and they are internal. Fit means strong. Fit means good blood pressure and blood sugar. Fit means sleeping well and feeling good. Fit means thinking clearly and making better decisions about what I eat and how I exercise and spend my time.
And I thank you in this group for helping me think so much differently about fitness than I did even a couple years ago when I didn't think I "looked fit" anymore, lol.
It's a wonderful new chapter.
On that note I better wrap it up. Hope to be more wordy tomorrow, lol. Hugs all around!
Have a good evening!

Thanks! Presently my son is in a squadron, so no out on the big blue! He will be moving in sometime in May. I'm acclimating, but I am prone to being teary eyed. It's that familiar feeling of being a dependent, of walking behind my husband, of trying to fit in to a military oriented society.
I am a bit overwhelmed.

Hi Sisters, raining here. I have to go out and feed then go work at the office. Thanks Meg, for being happy with me for my looming retirement! I will still be doing my queen making work during bee season but that is seasonal work so I get more time off in winter, which I need because it takes longer to feed and make the animals comfortable when the weather is bad. Not working at the office means I will save money on gas, (driving in and out), food, (stay home and cook from scratch rather than eat out or buy convenience food), less need for office clothes, and simply less temptations by staying out of town and away from shops! I will be less stressed as well so I anticipate sticking to my dietary plans will be easier. I will have more time to devote to my writing, my animals, my garden and of course, my children and grandchildren. I will have more time to prepare and plan so I can make my life smoother and better in all respects. I will probably pick up some more riding students as that is a fun way for me to earn a bit of money to buy horse food and wormers and supplements. I will also breed a foal or two every year, for fun and to earn the money for the hay and grain.
Lanette, the bees are all set for winter. We have to feed them once every three weeks with a sugar/water mixture which will take my husband about three days, as long as the weather co-operates. In between times, he will be making bee boxes and waxing frames in preparation for spring.
Today is my husband's last day at the office. He is scowling this morning while I am saying "Whoo Hoo, party at the office, clean out your desk!" He replies, "I don't like change!" I can interpret this to mean he is worried we won't have enough money now to pay our bills. He is a security freak due to an insecure childhood with an alcoholic father who had a nervous breakdown and couldn't go to work, so they lost their childhood home and had to move in with his grandparents. Scarred for life. LOL. It turned him into a workaholic.
Michelle, I held my plank for one minute 15 agonising seconds yesterday. How do you go for so long?
Pip, please let us know the results of Darling Kirby's MRI. I am very fond of Kirby. And Machka, is there any signs, any tiny improvements with your husband?
Well, I better get into my teleporter or I won't get my chores done, Love ya and chat later Wendy 6 -
I logged my food for the day! Today dear husband and I went to the military clinic to have our records sent from our Oregon primary doctors. Husband will use the clinic for routine issues, and for labs. He will be using Washington Medical University for liver appointments. We checked out the dental clinic in base, but it's for active duty only. We will have to pay an enrollment fee with our military insurance to have it include dental. An expense we haven't done in a long time!
Dear husband wanted to do some light exercise at the base gym, and I just wanted to use the sauna. A couple of days ago, husband used the gym for a hot shower, before our gas was on, and mentioned there was a sauna in the men's area of the locker rooms. Well today I just wanted the sauna, so I had just brought my towel, and some coconut oil to slather on while my pores were open. The attendant said, "oh the women's locker room doesn't have a sauna". So I did an about face and sat in the car, while husband exercised. First I just wanted to cry, then I counted my blessings and listened to the radio. Looking at people coming and going from the gym. 90% are active duty sailors, and 9% are dependent young wives/ moms, and 1% were old retired dudes. So had a mini pity party right there in the car.
Well going to fix my salad for lunch.
Wild rice, spinach, evvo dressing, and tuna. Dinner is a fried egg, with hearty bread, and snacks are some prunes, and a piece of chocolate with coffee.
Getting into the swing of things. Change isn't easy, and sometimes it's even emotionally messy.
Embrace change are my words for this month

Becca ~ Great job logging!
Wendy ~ It will probably take a while for your husband to get used to now being full timed employed, but, I am sure once he adjusts it will be good for you both.
The pollen is worse than it has been in 3 yrs and my teeth are on edge from sinus issues. Can't wait for the rain to wash it away.

afternoon ladies~
I am home and feeling a bit better, went to visit my girlfriend who is my hairdresser first, and then went to my other friends and we ran to a couple little gift shops, I found 2 little things for myself... a i got a cute very thin bracelet that says I am blessed that has a magnetic close, and a cute crystal prism to hang on my rearview mirror..
had lunch at her home and we had a barrel of laughs as we usually do.. then came home..now just chillin with ,Alfie..
Lenora~ My dad had no choice, he made some bad financial decisions in his younger years as we were growing up and lost at least 2 businesses ,he never worked somewhere where he had a pension or 401k, and in hindsight the last 8-10 years he was lonely and bored, so he would go on the internet and buy stupid stuff, gave money to charities,and watched alot of NCIS ...
the only way a reverse mortgage is good for any elderly person is one without family ..
when my dad got scammed as I have told you ,it was for upwards of over 150,000 dollars ,so they used his ss ,and opened credit cards in his name, and god bless Lynn at TD Bank she worked tirelessly for days and weeks to get most of it straightened out, including his credit ..
So no we are not liable for any of his debt, but we feel as we have to take care of what we can before we sell it..7 -

Felt so stressed and nervous over lunch. I did have a go at my roots this afternoon and, although it's only a holding job, it looks a lot better. I will do a proper job a couple of weeks before the cruise.
Then I thought I would do my bonus calories on the recumbent bike. Managed an hour , very slowly -250 cals. It was slow because I was watching 'Secret Helpers' on my tablet, where people from around the world secretly help someone under stress through an ear piece. It was very touching and heart warming and did me good. I think of you lovely women as my 'secret helpers' .
So I feel a bit better, but I don't know if I will go back to the book today. I will have a healthy snack now.
Well done Terry for getting rid of the junk. :flowerforyou: We are worthy of beautiful, delicious, healthy food. Make every meal a celebration. :bigsmile:
Now I'm going to have avocado, beetroot and my homemade yoghurt cheese for my snack.
A glass of carrot juice.
Tonight we are having spicy salmon with a giant couscous, green bean, tomato and garlic mix. Sourdough bread for DH. Then stewed plums with homemade yoghurt. Then a small piece of very tasty strong farmhouse cheddar cheese. Then a small piece of plain Belgian chocolate. My meal starts at 6 pm and ends around 8.45. I feel really treated and satisfied. I will have it with a delicious AF drink.
An important part of loving yourself is loving the food you put inside yourself. Don’t treat yourself as a dustbin for junk. You are worth more than that.
Love Heather UK xxxxxxx
Heather It helps me when you post what food you are having because you eat wonderful, healthy, celebratory food every day. That is inspiring to me.

Happy Thursday! I'm just starting on my first cup of coffee for the morning. My plan for the day is to go to yoga this morning and then do whatever comes next.
I've been talking with DH about the possibilities of going out for meals occasionally now that we know he's dealing with gluten intolerance. Thai and Chinese restaurants seem to be likely places for him to do well. He won't be able to have toast at the cafe where we occasionally go for breakfast, but he should do fine eating bacon eggs & potatoes.
If any of you have gluten intolerance or family members who have it, what advice might you have regarding eating out?
Katla in beautiful NW Oregon
[/b]
I struggle eating Chinese because soy sauce has wheat in it. In fact, at Panda Express, the only thing I can eat is plain rice.
I have had a little better luck with Thai food and Indian food has been great so far.
I have had good luck with Mexican food, as long as it's not "fast food." No Del Taco or Taco Bell, etc. Taco Del Mar is okay, if I'm careful.
Cafe Yumm (do you have them up where you are? I know there's one at PDX) is amazing. They even have a gluten free cookie.
Five guys is great to work with. Just tell them it's an allergy (easier than explaining the whole thing), and they change their gloves and will put the burger in a lettuce wrap. Their fries are safe because they don't throw chicken nuggets (or something else battered with flour) into their oil. (In and Out fries are also safe.) Jersey Mikes is safe, if you all are wanting Subs. They have gluten free bread, and they clean everything before even slicing the meat and cheese and assemble the sandwich away from everything else and keep it on paper when putting the condiments on. Takes about 15 extra minutes, but worth the wait. Jimmy Johns makes delicious lettuce wraps, but they aren't as careful in the preparation.
When we are going out, I usually look online to see if there is a gf menu and decide what I'm going to eat before I get there. If that isn't possible, I ask if they have a gluten free menu. Funny story -- Pei Wei has a gluten free menu. It is literally a 3x5 card. Lol
Sorry this isn't very organized -- even if something looks like it might be gluten free, you have to be careful about cross contamination. Gluten is sticky, so if the grill had bread on it and they fry your hamburger, even if they put that hamburger in a lettuce wrap, it probably has gluten on it. Or if they put the mayo on your gluten free bread with the same knife they used to put mayo on a gluten-filled bread, your husband will get sick.
Been there. Many times.
If you all ever come to Salem, definitely eat at Marco Polo, on Liberty, I think. Best gluten free dinner I've ever had. A pretty complete menu and gluten free desserts. For my birthday last year, my husband bought a whole gluten free cake from them. Expensive, but so yummy. And I didn't get sick!!!
I could ramble on and on about trying to eat gluten free. Because it is so stressful, I don't usually eat out very much. My husband and I have date night once a week, and we've tried different places, but now we just go to the same Mexican restaurant every week because I've not been glutened there, except when I was being reckless.
Felicia, gluten free and loving it (when I'm not complaining about it)

Allie here in Minnesota it is illegal to hang anything from your rear view mirror. I must have had a small dream catcher hanging from my mirror for ten years and then a police woman stopped me. I didn't get a ticket, but I did take it down and never put it back up figured it wasn't worth the hassle. I don't know how she even saw it it was so small.3

Living room wood stove
Our bedroom fireplace!
Our sons woodstove in his living room
Our library's has stove!
Wholly molly, that's a lot of heat sources! Our second night we had a presto log, and our little heater running in the bedtoom! It got up to 53'!! It was strange, because I couldn't relax there is a fire in our bedroom! The slab piece in front of it is cracked, so there is no sitting or leaning on this, because it will move! We put it on the inspection list, so it's not like we cracked it.
We have mutant gray squirrels. They seem to be all twitterpainted! They chase each other round the tree trunks like they are all mental.
I saw a little green frog on the sidewalk by our medical clinic too. Nature seems to be bombarding me these days!
Relaxing with a cuppa and you all!

Yvonne in TX: I had a grilled cheese sandwich this very day, before I knew it was grilled cheese sandwich day. Thank you for the information.
Terry: I take Vitamin D3 supplements, 5000IU of D3 every day. Since I started taking D3 everything has been better for me. More recently I've also started taking CQ 10 at the recommendation of others here. I think that idea came from the series on brain health that Lanette encouraged us to view. The number of days when I've felt sad or depressed has declined dramatically from the D3 and I feel like the CQ10 helps my brain work better. I would recommend that you consider giving them a try. Regular exercise is the very best of all. I thrive on yoga that improves my fitness and horseback riding to add a little adventure and fun to my life. Having fun and experiencing joy are the best antidotes to depression that I know. If you are anything like me, choosing exercise that is fun for you will make it more likely that you'll follow through. :flowerforyou:
Evelyn: Thanks for your good wishes.
Roundbutsound: Welcome to a great group! :flowerforyou:
Lisa: Good luck on your upcoming move. I hope your new home is a delight for you and Corey. :flowerforyou:
Lanette: My daughter says she would like to move to Oregon but I'm not holding my breath until she gets here. It will be wonderful if and when it happens. I know that her DH doesn't like the climate here. Of course we have more than one climate in Oregon, and the one where I live is the rainier one. East of the Cascades it is dryer, and it is possible he could find an area he likes.
Lanette: I grew up in a family where there was a TV in the dining area of the kitchen. In my teen years we had dinner along with the Viet Nam War for every meal. I hate watching TV news during dinner. Bad memories. :sad:
Pip: I hope the results from Kirby's testing will allow you both to find ways to move forward and enjoy life. If he needs PT, okay. If he needs meds, okay. I just hope there is something that he can do to improve how he feels.
(((Rebecca))) Baby yourself a bit and don't pick on your emotions. Change is stressful, even when it is wanted & hard earned. Eustress happens as a result of good changes. Distress comes from unhappy or scary events. Both are stress and emotionally challenging. Settle in a little, poke around your new island home a bit. Try and find something fun to do. Are you in the rainy part of the island or the dryer part? Meanwhile, we're all here any time you want someone to talk to.
Felicia: The doctor gave DH a lengthy list of Fodmap foods and soysauce is listed as an okay item. He's been using it on foods and has had no problem so far. Thanks to your comments we will be watchful and see how it goes. Surprising to me, he isn't allowed to use garlic powder or onion powder. Garlic is a complete no-no, but he can use the green tops of onions and chives. No other onions, even in cooking. Thanks for your information. Every bit that I learn helps me feel better prepared. :flowerforyou:
Yoga today was lovely and I plan to go again tomorrow. I usually ride a recumbent exercise bike before yoga. Today I also used an elliptical trainer. I earned loads of calories before I even went to yoga. At this point, mid afternoon, I still have 1576 calories available. Dinner will shift those caloric numbers into a healthy zone.

Good evening ladies. Went to yoga today and was surprised how much flexibility I have lost in two weeks. Of well, onward and upward.
Rebecca- I was curious about your comment that you were teary eyed about getting back in a military environment and walking behind your husband. Is that a Navy thing? Not something I ever encountered in 24 years of AF life. I am surprised with so many females in the service that the accommodations aren’t the same for men and women. You are in a new place with an opportunity to make new friends and enjoy new experiences. Bloom where you are planted. Lol
Terry- hang in there. This too shall pass. You are a strong woman and I have faith in you.
