Hi all! I haven't been here for forever and I've missed all of you. Reading the posts and seeing everyone having such a rough time I just want to hug you all for hours. FYI I've had to retire from work which is a good thing, but for a not so great health reasons. For the same reasons, my garden is now gone.

Well, I'm back. My apologies for not being present with all of you. Though I have plans to be here after this break I will not be super active, just comment here and there. I've had plenty of time to think the last while and came to realize that i need to be more aware of my own mental health. How's that for a realization?…

Thank-you my dear. Delilah Jade, born Thursday. Her new quilt is in my profile. Novel to follow, please don't feel you need to proceed if you don't want to read. I've just recently realized I've been angry with hubby, and depressed. A few months ago I decided to try to stop working. Well, hubby informs me that we can't…

I copied this post from another I wrote in a different thread in 2017. Just a reminder of something we may all need to remember. I thought it was a timely, considering the fast approaching season. Be gentle with yourselves, I love you all. ***************** WE ALL need to be more forgiving, patient, and loving of our own…

Yeah!

YES!!! Joan I'm weighing myself on Wednesdays. This year my hope is to be under 150 by year end. Less than 145 would be even better. I'm aware this will be a challenge as I'm so close to it and shedding these last pounds is a struggle but I'm going to continue to try. Wed. Oct 10... 160.6

FYI... My husband's parents made wood trinkets etc. from branch rounds that they sold at sales his whole growing up in Big Valley. :)

Ok, so I'm trying this again... (((( @mytime6630 )))) You really do look amazing. I'm not saying your feelings aren't valid hon, I'm just saying that from the outside you look great. The first time I got down to my goal weight I was forced to leave my marriage. When my kids and I were in the women's shelter there was a…

Frankly? Frustrated with MFP. It seems as if I need 2 devices so I can reply to anyone in order to keep things straight. Otherwise what I was typing disappears. :s Other than that worried about everyone on here. :( Are you managing ok hon?

@maryrobinson40 No worries, the yuck does pass quickly. I used to think it was 'only' post cancer lack of estrogen but that's way done so I figured out it's kind of sudden though temporary med withdrawal. Tomorrow will be fine. Oh, and no need for thumb sucking. We all have our talents. <3

One of my monthly goals has been to keep closer tabs on my medication schedule. I haven't missed a dose in so long that I forgot how gross it makes me feel when I do. Last night I forgot my medication before I hunkered down into bed and, well, now I remember. It will pass again. I hope everyone's having a wonderful day.…

I've had great day or two here, lifewise. Wednesday my small group of ladies had our weekly meeting. Great time that I've missed over the summer. Thursday a friend and I had scheduled a girls day in the big city. We went to an art show that used plastic garbage washed up on the shore. It really was amazing, and sad :'(…
