    Lisa - I have about 8 Facebook people, mostly DH'S relatives that i don'ttalk to otherwise. . You don't have to have a lot. And they don't ping!!!! I have notifications turned off. Often I turn off WhatsApp pings too. I did on the ship. So the only thing that pings is text. I rarely get a text. :D

    I've just put some cash into my elder son's bank account for his 46th birthday. I'm not doing Christmas presents this year, so.i told him that.

    I have enormous respect for anyone who is a carer, and is looking after a relative. Super hard to see them deteriorate.
    But I do think it is a different thing when your intimate other, your life partner, is deteriorating mentally. Many of us need that level of intimate knowing and understanding and to see it disappear is devastating.
    I am pretty sure that my mental health could not cope with it. (See my book 'Where Am I?')
    Intimacy for me, is life.
    My heart goes out to you who are dealing with this heartbreak.

    Thank you all for the welcome.
    Today I logged my food for the first time. It was nice to eat without feeling bad. I had peace since I knew I was not overeating.
    I try to be mindfull alot through the day, facing feelings instead of making myself busy and using food to numb.
    All this focus takes energy, and I slept alot. I dont have energy enough to much more than basic needs, and taking care of my dog and two cats.
    I hope that better eating and loosing weight will give more energy, Im desperate for it.
    Ive enjoyed reading all your posts.

    Welcome DeVille, from Whidbey Island in WA state. Nice yo meet you!
    I try to honor myself with intentional eating. So the cutting, chopping, mixing in preparation for a nice meal is all part of the process for me. I know that opening a box and snacking mindlessly does nothing for my mental health, nor my physical health. So I try to put myself first, eat what fuels me.👍🏻 You can do this.💖🤗

    Allie-sorry you are having health issues right now.

    Pip-I keep forgetting to tell you-I find the way you take care of your animals is outstanding. I really wish more parents/families took the same care with their human children and each other.

    Machka-I had not noticed the My drafts-I use the save function but didn't see I had a folder. Thanks!

    Had peaceful Thanksgiving. Talked to SIL and family in AZ. Text from DIL here (her husband was working all day). Got some work work done, some house work done, went for a nice walk. Ordered matching earrings for me and DILs for Christmas (Macy's had decent sale). Also ordered cardigans to give DIL Mother and Aunt-will see them Christmas Day this year. Made Cranberry Jello to take with me and the two ingredient pumpkin mini muffins.

    Plan for today is another hour or so of budget work, tidy up house. Picking son up at airport around 2:30 so will head out around 1. Will be back Sunday morning early after I drop him at airport so will stop and do grocery shopping when I get back in town before going home. While today and tomorrow will just be family-I will be ready for quiet on Sunday!

    Take care all,

    Ginny in Ohio

    Awwwwwww thx

    Hello ladies!
    I've been going crazy shopping on Amazon lately. For once it seems like everything I need is on sale! I did buy some Christmas stuff, and socks and underwear, and a pot to replace the one Mom burned. And some storage cubes to help sort out my bedroom. I really need a bookshelf, but I have to figure out how to squeeze it in. Anyway, I have really hit a shopping mood! Let the packages roll in!

    I need to exercise tonight, whether I do yoga and marching or makeup dumbbells from last night. And it's crab patties for dinner for my parents, and water for me! I had a turkey avocado sandwich for lunch, with french fries. So I'm quite full.
