Okay very weird. took me forever to find you guys and I miss the smileys. the one they have now are gross. I did well on Monday with one small glass of red but then yesterday I lost a friend to cancer and all bets were off. I had some issues with the anti depressants the doc wanted me to take. they were 61 buck co pay. It turns out that the insurance company decided that the generic form when in tablets is a brand name but when in capsules it is generic so my doc resent the script for capsules and now it will only be 5 dollars. I hope my blood pressure is low enough to start today.
So sorry about your friend Robin

I think this eventually might work but so far I can't even post to the group from my phone..which really sucks!!
I had wine yesterday. Going to keep up the workouts until we leave Friday. I'll be gone a week but will check in.
Gary, how's your trip going. Hot enough for ya?0 -
Took me too long to find our group too
So sorry about your friend Mama Lush
hang in there 
Yesterday was pretty crummy. It was husband's and my wedding anniversary and would have been Lily's 6 month birthday also known as her half birthday. It would have been something special she shared with her daddy because his half birthday also falls on his parents anniversary. It was tough but for Lily's sake we managed a couple laughs and smiles, she deserves that Husbands mom wanted to just come over but luckily Kyle's dad said to ask first and we just wanted to be alone. She texted me today and said she feels like she's lost her son, she can't understand why we don't want to be around anyone right now. I said I barely want to be around myself let alone anyone else. I still don't think she understands completely but hopefully a little more. She keeps saying that Kyle and I aren't alone and that we all lost Lily but quite honestly that enrages me. Not even Kyle can understand what I'm going through. I'm the one who carried Lily for 9 months and felt all of her life inside me and then didn't. Nobody else can possibly understand that and to say that they hurt just as much as we do makes me feel guilty and like I can't grieve in front of them and so I choose to be alone instead. Sorry for the rant, I just wish she wouldn't keep making us feel guilty for not wanting to be around anyone at the moment. End rant.
On a good note I did finally come around and put up the Halloween decor, I can't believe I almost skipped it this year.

Kat, I can't even begin to know how you are feeling. At the same time, I don't blame your MIL for feeling like you are shutting them out. I feel like they just want to love and support you guys. You have to heal your own way, 100% but maybe being around family would help the process.....my 2 cents, hope not to offend! xoxo

At first we wanted everyone around but as time went on we just wanted to be by ourselves. I'm sure it helps some people but right now we just need to be alone. I don't know if she thinks we're out seeing other people but we're not, we see the staff at our favorite restaurant than we do friends and family right now. We know they are there if we need them but unfortunately being around them right now more so makes things worse than better =\0 -

It definitely has. I know I would have regretted not putting them up and probably would have ended up putting them up in January or something when I was feeling more up to it just to be able to enjoy them. Husband goes "You went from almost not putting anything up to turning our house into a haunted mansion, minus the mansion." He's right, there are even my skeleton buddies sitting at the dining room table. Kyle asked why they were there and I said "Well you never want to sit there so at least someone should."
I have some really good days and then I'll see a picture of a friends happy, healthy baby and just get sad because I wonder how big Lily would be and what her personality would be. I like to think she would be a happy baby because she seemed so good and relaxed during my pregnancy
Ps. I miss our old smileys 0 -

So my husband got the job he interviewed for last week. He got the call yesterday morning. Gave his resignation and a couple hours later got a call that his old company was closing the doors at 5PM going out of business! We knew things were bad but geez did we cut it close there! So it was a pretty emotional evening bc we were excited about his new job, but it was still sad to see a company he worked for for 11 years go out of business and all his former coworkers were calling him freaking out bc they are out of a job now.0 -
Kat...many hugs to you! And I think the skeleton buddies at the dining room table sound fabulous!! I also think the new smileys suck. I don't like this new "update" they did. BLAH!
Kate, yay for Len coming home!!
Chloe, congrats to your hubby and so sad for his old co-workers. That is just insane!

Hi Gang. I got my antidepressants. :drinker: I started them this morning so I won't be drinking much if at all for the next few weeks. yesterday I had a couple vodka and limeades.
Kat I understand just wanting to be alone while grieving. We all grieve differently and it takes different amounts of time for all of us to come to grips. Just do the best you can.
So about the smileys. if you type a colon you will see a list of smileys and then if you type the first letter you can see more. :bigsmile: Also if you remember the code from before you can use those :laugh:
in this post I used drinker, bigsmile and laugh. you just have to put a colon at the beginning and end.
Have a good day.0 -
wow...congrats chloe!! that's some good timing for you.
thanks for the tip on the smilies, robin. I was going to play with them when I had some time..figured there would be an easy way to add a few more. for now typing them out will work :drinker: Now if I can just get the bookmark to work for this group I can find my way back here easily. For now I just did my own bookmark.
Wine again last night. Packing tonight. I promise this is my last trip for a while...I know you're all sick of hearing about them. :laugh: I already booked the son's flight home for Thanksgiving. Not that I'm missing him or anything.

Thanks for the info on the smileys!!! :drinker:
Syd, you have had so many trips! I'm so jealous! Hope you have so much fun! 0 -
I really really hate my boss this week....tis all :grumble:0

Instead of one long vacation this year....we took a bunch of shorter ones...usually extending the weekend so the husband didn't have to burn all his days. It's been real nice having so many trips to look forward to. Altho I did miss Hawaii this year...it's such a huge vacation...but then it's over and we're all depressed. We're lucky we live in a place that so many other people come to vacation. It's been nice exploring our gorgeous city and beaches.Syd, you have had so many trips! I'm so jealous! Hope you have so much fun!
We booked this trip months ago..knowing we needed one last thing to look forward to after the son was gone. We got a great deal through friends who own a timeshare in Palm Springs.

I am sure we will have drinks tonight, maybe go out to eat. Mike doesn't start the new job until Wednesday, so we should probably take advantage of this time off. We have a wedding tomorrow and my newly preggo friend is DD and then Sunday we are going to our friends for chili and the sh***y BEARS game (god they suck). So it should be a fun weekend.0 -

Me too Bridget...this week SUCKED!!!! But it's only one night, you should call up a girlfriend or go have a date by yourself to the movies or out to dinner :bigsmile: I totally would....if you can walk somewhere even better that = more drinks....yes there is something wrong with me :laugh:0

Hey it works! Thanks guys. New profile pic was taken at Crater Lake Oregon. Very scenic! We have been on the road for a week now. Currently we are near Crescent City Calif where we will see the Redwoods over the next several days.
Glad to get caught up with all of you. Sounds like life has been busy for everyone. Sorry about the sucky bosses, and challenges some of you have been going through. Hang in there and we are hear for you all!
Have fun on your current vacation Syd- and you post some pics too!
Have not been moderating but have not gone crazy either- keeping my eating on track but not getting the exercise I should. Perhaps some hikes around big trees are in order. Lemme see if I can post a pic--
Hey it worked!0 -
