What's up? Wed and I am still alive and doing well!
Hi everyone - got through a much-needed rainy day here in Minnesota yesterday. Today we have sun, even if it's still pretty cool out there. Weekend is supposed to be gorgeous.
I'm doing pretty well - work is still busy, but I've finished a couple of projects and don't feel QUITE so much behind the 8-ball. I've a job interview this afternoon, not sure how I feel about it - kind of excited, but I'm not as "driven" as I was 10 years ago!
Michael continues to drop the pounds, and it is making it so much easier for me to stay on track with him doing it. I know he's missing his big ol' meals - but he's adjusting and keeping up with protein, at least. I was always more of the snacking type, and that continues to be problematic, if I don't stay on top of it.
Tonight we are going to a presentation about WLS at a hospital here, about having long-term success. It should be good, I've heard the presenter is inspiring. A bariatric nurse who had the surgery herself - always makes something like that even more credible.
I'm in full-blown allergy season now, and taking Alavert every day - just so glad I found something that works!
Have great days, everyone.

Sorry you have the dark cloud and feel the need to hide under the rock. I'm always here for you, Connie, if you need to talk. I was in that dark cloud for a long, long time, so I know how it is. It takes a long time to get out from under the rock ... drugs, a good therapist and lots of good friends.
Hang tough and stay strong, dear woman!

marym we have told you and told you that this board is like family-and family shares ....
we had a horrid thunder/litning/rain storm last nite! woke me up thru the dull roar of my cpap! all michael could say was "poor phil'--our pheasant who got looseEaster sunday....today is quite chilly and damp-"they" are saying anywhere from 2-6 inches of snow tomorrow tho it shouldn't stay as warm as the ground is!
my census friend just left-he gave a bid on a roof and insulation over this trailer - i have to go get teh paperwork tomorrow and we will see what happens- it's a federal beautification program..../? and he will add 16" blown in insulation which will really help!
since phil moved out of the nicer cage; we finally brought it back inside today and are readying it for the 4 ****atiels....then, i think my mom may buy the cage they are now in for her parakeets.michael is thinking of rehoming Baby(blue and gold ) and one of our large cages....would be nice for space!
i actually unpacked 4 more boxes today-just not dedicated to this! and no where to put stuff....slow but sure! i'll win this race!!!!!!
connie--i'm here-not much to say that's been positive or pleasant so keping my trap shut and my fingers to myself...nothing wrong-just let down from hectic work pace and last week's disappointing trip--waiting to hear about future work and today was my last census paycheck--also worker's comp money has not been rec'd for a month and the paperwork that was finally presented was denied- so we ay never see money again......but thanx for missing me!!!!
time to think of fixing supper....
hugs and prayers

I get up every morning determined to both change the world and have one hell of a good time. Sometimes this makes planning my day difficult.

Hi Margo,
I know people have told me. Thank you for that. It does help to talk to people. I think for me, I am used to keeping things bottled up and have a hard time dealing with everything going on inside me. It might have to do with many things. I like to make people laugh, not always be the bearer of bad news. Right now, I am consumed with family things. We don't talk about it too much, so I should let it out here. I have the full responsiblity of taking care of my sister and her family now. Sometimes it is overwhelming. I am sure I am in some kind of depression, that is hard for me now, because I just wanted to focus on me for a change.
I am dealing with all kinds of Doc appointments for her weekly. Taking her and her kids to court. Shopping, cleaning and laundry. Keeping it all together at her home. All three of her kids are in trouble with the law. It is very sad. Her depression and sadness, rubs off on me. I try to be strong for her when I am around her. But inside, I am feeling sick and drained.
I really appreciate that you can be one of the people among many that I can talk to. I just have to learn how to let it all go.
Thanks Margo
