MERRY CHRISTMAS!!
Merry Christmas to you and yours Marilyn.
We have lots of extended family functions and hopefully, we'll make it through without forgetting someone. I spent yesterday making 5 dozen chicken tamales and a couple dozen sugar cookies. I'm not a big sweet eater, but I can do some damage to a plate of tamales so I got those into the freezer right away so I won't be tempted.
OK, on my way to pick up a cord of wood with The Man and deliver gifts to a nursing home.
Have a very Merry Christmas eveyone!
Hugs,
Connie
Hi Marilyn;
Merry Christmas back at ya........and all of the other "Marchers" too!! I hope that you all have a safe and not too stressful (food and all) Christmas. My younger daughter is home from the C I A (Culinary Institute of America...not the spy guys) and is cooking our Christmas Dinner.....should be delicious......but I better go easy because these culinary folks don't know the meaning of "light" food. Things have been very busy lately, and there have been a lot of changes in my world. I will be back with an update when the Christmas madness dies down. Be well; Be Merry; Be safe, my friends.

merry christmas-late!
it has been a very stressful holiday season at my house -i read the posts but i am really wanting to go hide and sleep....we did absolutely NO decorating/no cards went out tho they sit here waiting to be signed and addressed/no presents went out-they are bought for the grands but not even wrapped.....celtic carols are still playing sweetly in the background as i type....i worked til 12:10 am on Christmas Eve and collapsed when i got home.
my food choices have not been too terribly horrid-tho a few cookies did pass thru my lips..moderation tho!!! no more than two at a time- and not as many times as preop....am finding that i am not drinking enough water and am working hard to get that together--hard to drink when yur sleepin!
i too am looking at changes in my life and some are scary--updates when available-right now the black dog of depression is trying to strangle me and i am trying so hard to not give in....it can be a moment to moment battle when also dealing with hubby's "stuff" which just keeps going on and on and on....i cannot continue to do everything he needs when i can't even take care of myself.....
sorry to be a downer.....
love and peace to all of my marchers!!!!
Hang in there Margo. If you are not already on meds for depression, do so. If you are, then consider changing meds or dosage. It does not fix anything around you, but it can sure increase your coping ability and clear up the mental fog.
I know the last few years have been a big struggle, and I really feel for you. I am praying for you to have a clear head and to be able to act wisely on your own behalf to find your way to a happy and fulfilled life. I know it is out there for you, even if you can't see it right now.
The holidays are an extra stress--muddle through the best you can and find a counsellor who will help you find a safe place to release all that pent up anger. I have been there. Others here have too. Life will not stay dark forever. There will be sunshine and laughter for you.
I'm saying a prayer for a truly happy new year...
