Miniflick, You get to whine.
Sometimes we need to talk. We need to get things out.
The floor gave way with you on it.
We are here for you.
I hope work will help. Getting back with people, and a routine- and the money will help you figure out a new plan.

X 2 - we are here to listen with open ears, hearts and a shoulder to cry on when needed.

Thanks guys! Happy Valentines Day!

I have a go-to-the-dump pile in the driveway. I have an e-waste pile in the driveway. I have about 9 cubic feet of papers to sort through in the house. I need to rent a truck.....

The amount of work to do before DD#3 and her husband move in at the end of next month is appalling. Insane. Oh, and I have 43 eggs in my fridge (I'm getting 4-5 daily, from 6 girls) so I'm giving them away at work, and if I can get the local food bank to give me cartons, I'll give them eggs too.

It's been a little over a year. The youngest and her husband and their cat moved in, and it has worked out well. Their cat spent about a month staring out the window at the chickens and then decided that since he couldn't chase them, they were boring and old hat.

Most of my anger has dissipated. Sorrow also mostly gone. Sad that it ended that way, but it was more than anybody but him could handle, and he chose not to. It was what it was.

I've gotten proactive about my own health, and I've had dental work, dermatology work (I know have what I call a 'sword fight scar' on my cheek), and I'm having carpal tunnel surgery on my hand on Monday. Oh, and let's not forget my wonderfully sexy cpap machine....

Mom is slowly but surely fading, after being placed in hospice last Fall. She weighs less than 90 lbs now, has next to no energy, but is cheerful when I go visit. Doesn't recognize the kids anymore, unless they're with me. Me she still knows.

Life is on an even keel right now. I turn 61 next month, and life is decent.

Glad to hear positive things are happening. Prayers for continued strength for you.

"Life is decent" - what a difference a year makes. You have made it through the worst and happiness is coming back. Good for you!

Mom died the 26th of March, weighing in at about 70 pounds. She knew me the Sunday before, smiled and called me stranger! Prolonging death isn't something we wanted to do, so I'm glad it's over for her. Poor thing couldn't breathe (emphysema) and couldn't think (dementia) and I'm glad it's over.

Now I have NEW piles of stuff to go through!

So sorry for the loss of your cherished mom. Hard to loose a parent, for sure.

Sorry for the loss of your mom, and the new paper piles. I am not sure I would handle the piles of paper well.
They are miserable enough to go through without a loss hanging over them.. and all through them as well.

I am glad you are doing better.
an even keel is a good thing.
Life has a way of flipping us over even when we think we have prepared ourselves for the worst of it.
I think you have done well.
Continue on caring for your health, our bodies are really amazing at taking care of us when we allow them to.
Thank you for the up dates, and again, my condolences on the loss of your mother.
