Carla, in MN, I appreciate you. Its beyond me, the why of it all. Its now out of my hands, can't even send him boxes or letters. Lee and I will keep our eyes open for the advancement results, band along with listing the sailors that made rank, it shows what command they're with. So that's encouraging. I will just have to continue to do me, keep an open heart about it all. I can't insert anger in this, just roll around the good memories in my mind, when I am missing him.

Today’s dermatologist appointment was a good experience. I am pleased with the doctor and the treatment to remove a mole that was changing. I had the mole removed today. I feel BETTER!!! 👍🏻 😊

Allie - can Kyle get up with Miles for a couple of nights so Tracy can sleep? I know he works too, but surely he could do it a bit too.

I was so fortunate, my parents and in laws wanted our girls for the night quite frequently. Rodger drove truck so was barely home. They helped me keenly sanity. When I see my daughter getting overwhelmed I take the kids for a night.

I had my doctor appointment today. She actually urged me to go in sick leave. I didn’t accept a letter from her today, but she told me if it continues she wants me to do it.

I also had an email to complete some pre screening for a job I applied for last week with an airline.

I want to make sure I have all of my ducks in a row before jumping the gun.
At least now I know I just need to make a call.

Just knowing that is a relief.

Tracey
No he gets upset when Miles wakes him up, so Tracy sleeps on the couch with Miles on top of her and he will toss and turn so she is lucky tto get 4 hrs of sleep a night.
Kyle leaves around 6:25 in the morning and I get there right after so Tracy doesn't have to get Miles in the car to get Carmine to the bus stop.
Rich ,Tracys dad had a nervous breakdown when I was 9 months pregnant with Dan ,it wasn't great...thank goodness for his parents who kept us afloat.
Well its 2 am here and here is hoping I can get back to sleep.

That's good.

Here, you could go on Worker's Compensation for a couple weeks if your mental health is suffering from some aspect of the job.

Have you contacted the labour board as well?

Kim - I hope you enjoy the new episode of Food Glue. My elder son, Tom, has made the Coronation Quiche to try. He enjoyed it, but says the recipe is a bit vague. I am an ardent anti-royalist, so a bit surprised, but he likes to experiment! I really must go up to visit

Love you all, Heather UK xxxxxxxx

Tracey-good to hear you have a supportive doctor. The airline job sounds interesting. I think you have some positives going on-that can make it easier to cope. If you go on sick leave there does the company give paid time off?

Kim-hope your mother's attitude change lasts for a bit longer. Proud of you standing up and speaking your mind, Sometimes that is very hard for us to do-especially to a parent.

Rebecca-at least now you have an idea of where your son is. Strange behavior but also could have nothing to really do with any of you. Sometimes all we can do is stand back and love them and wait for them to find their way. When our YS was tied up in a very bad relationship and making poor decisions I kept telling DH to say nothing and wait because our boy was still in there somewhere-and he was.

YS did call last night and said we might have to cancel our Mother's day/his birthday cookout Saturday. When I asked what was wrong he said DIL had not heard from her dad in a few days (he lives near them). She went over to check and found him dead. Don't know any other details. I am on standby for whatever assistance I can provide. So very sad.

Work from home day today.

First big quarterly report at new job is complete!

It's been a long, busy week.
Yesterday over 100 emails came into my Inbox at work!

Now, over the next couple months, I've got a project to work on: make creating this big quarterly report a quicker and easier process while obtaining more detailed data.

First thing I did after I hit submit ...

I signed up for a course!!

My whole unit has decided to take this course so the unit is paying for it and we'll do it during work time.

I see the coronation is on from 4 pm for the rest of the evening tomorrow. The previous coronation happened almost exactly 70 years ago!

Good morning ladies!

Kim that's great that your mother's attitude has improved some.

Tracey good that you have a break if you need it. Good luck on your interviews!

Allie sorry about your cruise partners cancellation. And best wishes to Tracey and Carmine.

Ginny so sad about younger son's FIL.

I am so grateful for this quiet moment. The workers will be back soon to put the solar panels back up on the new roof. But for now, it's just me and a distant crow cawing.

I texted with a friend last night who is starting a new phase of her diet journey. It made me realize how much I've learned here from you all. Thank you ladies for your support and advice!

Ginny: My sympathy on the passing of your DIL father.

Evelyn: I hope it warms up on Vancouver Island

Grandmallie: What will Carmine do this summer? Is she/he old enough to work?

Mary: Never been to San Diego: Enjoy your trip!

Heather: Is it your anniversary? Hope DH felt better after his game of cricket.

Machka: I hope the CKD doesn't progress. Certainly with the cycling you get enough exercise! I like mandarins as well.

Annie: Hopefully this roofing job can be done in a day!

Kim: Great news about your Mom being more appreciative

Rebecca: You haven't gained weight so that is a good thing! Weight loss is hard. I have not lost any weight since my husband passed in late February. I haven't gained...but haven't lost.

Lanette: Glad the cat is okay! Great about getting new gutters and a leaf guard!

Tracey: I will pray that the job with the airline is offered to you and works out!

I plan to attend a book group after I work at the Rescue on Wed. I haven't quite figured out how I am going to clean up from working at the rescue before going to the book group. The book is Tattoos on the Heart which was written about 2010 and is about a priest who works with youth in gangs in Los Angeles. He has some inspiring stories! I should be walking now, but may go and lay down for another hour. I am getting highlights put in my hair this morning and meeting with the attorney this afternoon. Then the yard man is going to help put my drapes back up in the family room. So nothing exciting happening here, but going along!

Best,
Rosemarie from Georgia

Weigh-in was down a tenth of a pound. Not bad for a week of no exercise, a cold, my computer being up and down, and the roofing.

Today I have PT and I have to kick myself back into exercise mode so that next week will show a loss.

We picked up our pots.
This is my new thrown posy vase, to go with the tea light holder I made before.

And the mug with pencils on it is DH'S new one. My square pinch pot is for nuts, to go with the rwo previous ones for olives and chips. The painting is a quick one I did when Edie was here!

Also got lots of Italian fennel sausages and meatballs. Unfortunately, because it's summer, they didn't have the tweed cap DH was after.

I managed it all, despite everything taking me twice as long and being twice as tiring. Even walking along the street, you have to avoid people bumping into you. Buses present their own challenges. This is all a good lesson.

Rosemarie- she is 15 and I already brought that up we have 2 farm stands in town she could work for.. and I asked if she was going to apply and she said why would I
do that? 🙄 I said money..
The way things are looking she will end up going to summer school anyway..she has no motivation and is just nasty to everyone except Seth.
If it was Tracy doing this I wouldn't let her go to the Prom.but who am I to say...
