Tough times. It seems like sometimes suicide is not understandable which makes it harder on the survivors who keep wondering if they (or someone else) could have made a difference.

Greetings Great Ones

148.5 today. I haven't been very hungry lately and I guess its this bit of a cold though its not much of one. Looks like we are going to the dog shows tomorrow even though we have to take a different route due to fires. So today will be spent packing and getting organized for me and Tesla. That includes car water and snacks for us all. Worst part is having to get up early; a skill I have let fail in retirement. Second worst part is it will be hot. So yeah Peps, I will be at the Dixon shows.

Bonnie150 glad you are through the freckle examination and here is hoping its a nothing. Rest up from the needle pokes. And your writings are so wonderful. We are grateful to have you among our active group members.

Great wedding pic BB. Happy anniversary. I like watching that TV show about choosing wedding dresses and your lovely dress makes me think of that show. But have you noticed that about half the brides on that show are MO? I had a beautiful dress from 23 years ago which would be much too big for me now so its sealed in a box. You should get your dress out and wear it!!

Liz the baseball game sounds like fun. And its a good event for people watching. Glad you got the pups out for walks.

Dinner last night was some chop salad with ham on it. It really wasn't very good. I am going to pitch the rest of the ham. If I freeze it , it will just stay in the freezer until it is unrecognizable and then get tossed. No guilt.

Carbon, so sorry about the suicide. It really is a hideous burden on the survivors. No easy way through it. Sympathy to your friend. And yeah, the "blame game" is part of it.

Peace to all. Diane S

Should probably at least think about packing for my weekend in Atlanta (actually suburbs, but still GA...a continent away!). Have to leave at 4:30 am tomorrow morning - YUCK!

Finally connected with the new trainer and sessions are all set up for next week. Getting that finalized peels away a level of stress. That is good.

Met with the shrink. That was good, too.

I have so much whirling around in my brain this afternoon, it's hard to prioritize. I'm too tired to make sense and order of everything right now. Maybe that's what plane rides are for????? We shall see.

Not sure if I will check in while I'm away. Be well everyone!

Deep in the processing world. Dipped my toes in the dating world this week and the water was too cold. Will wait for it to warm up a bit.

My life feels all consuming right now but I miss you all!

Stunning picture Bonnie! You are so very beautiful. Loved the pics of you and sis on FB too!

Carbon, sorry for your loss. I didn't catch the whole story, any loss, but especially by suicide, is tough!

Dating world? Are men already approaching you (no surprise other than timing)? All consuming is exhausting but not necessarily always bad... Hang in there!
