Hi all, just wanted to send support for Dots who I met when there was a SUBS. I read often, but don't post much, but Dottie you are getting better. I know it will never be the same, but you are doing it. My neighbor who has experienced a similar loss took knitting lessons and she has created beautiful baby blankets for underprivileged, etc., and her knitted hats rock.

I've thought about you often.

Mama, you are so hard working and just save yourself, okay?

Pauly, love your posts and Louie.

Lizann, don't know you well, but you know how to have fun.

Sunny, know you and I know you'll be returning to the UK very soon, be well.

Rusty, I love your posts too.

I worry about K9 - a lot.

I wonder how many I have left out - eek!

I think we've finally found an agent to market our home. It's been a long time for sale and she's marketing it as a summer home in L.A. We've definitely got water here, lol. Very difficult having to work with hubs on this, but I'm doing it. He doesn't want me filing for divorce. Any thoughts on that - maybe the missing investment portfolio? No chance I'll ever go back.

SKendall "Hi all, just wanted to send support for Dots who I met when there was a SUBS." I am drawing a blank on this one. Can you please elaborate a little or PM me. If i met you I sure would like to remember it...

Hey all, hi Skendall,I'm with you on the worrying about K9 I miss her around here like she used to be, always the first to greet newbies, so supportive of everyone, but I know she's been going through a lot of stuff this past year, so I just wait for someday when things are normal again, Dots, do sign up for a class I've thought of doing the same, as much as I love hanging out at home, I need something for me I feel a little stuck in a rut,my zest for life is in neutral atm hope everyone has a nice Monday

[Dottie Belle]

Rotten nights sleep. Weird dreams and I was hot all night. Need to change the bedding and move to the summer weight spread. I want to buy some new stuff. Hard to remember sleeping in that bed with him but it is comfortable so maybe new bedding will help. Who knows nothing is right at this point. Kind of waiting for a Kohl s coupon so I can check them out. Looked on line but I like to touch the things to see how soft they are before buying.
Go to see the tax lady later and the gym. If I have time I will try to get the title fixed on the RV so I can take it up to sell this week. I am hoping we close on my folks house next week then the last 2 huge financial things will be OFF my plate....

Hi Everyone!

I'm here, I'm here! Still have 2 fractured ribs though (won't heal for 6-8 weeks) and I am in a lot of PAIN! I only take my pain meds at night because they make me feel so groggy. Today is my first full day back at work...this Friday was supposed to be my Friday off, but I am working so I can make up some hours. After all the shit I've been through this year, all of my paid leave is exhausted. I can only hope things get better from this point forward. My ex-landlord sent me a bill for $4,707 for "damages and repairs". He had the gall to include baking soda from Walmart and shower liners/rings...WTF??? It's not my job to replace shower curtains!!!??? Anyway, he copied my bankruptcy lawyer on the email and my lawyer wrote back and said he would deal with it later. We will just add it to my bankruptcy case.

Anywhoo...I am hoping I'm over the hump...SO much shit has happened this year. I hope to be back to my "old" self soon too Pauly. I have been taking AB also...I just don't trust myself with all the crap going on.

Will be back later...I miss all of you!!! :love:

[mama bear]

I called you K9...so good to see you here!! This year will be better! How is Sierra.
I am home at reasonable time and hubs cooked for me. I will home almost every night this week. Me so happy!
With all the social events and travelling, I have had beers, but nothing crazy. I just want to get into a routine agan.
Hugs to you Dots and Pauly!

[Lizann]

K9, ouch on the ribs! Glad your back to work. Is it painful to be at work? How's the new place? Hmm, I thought you and the landlord squared things away. Hope that all works out. Glad your checked in, we have missed you!
Skendall glad you popped by. Join us!
Pauly, I know what you mean about a rut. Once I'm home though I hate to go back out.
Dottie, I was thinking its time to put on the lighter blankets too. If i do it, it will likely get cold again!
Mama, glad you got to go in later today.
Worked a long day today, back in again tomorrow. Racking up that overtime! Have a goodnight guys!

[Lizann]

Cross post mama. Glad your home this week. Rest up!

[mama bear]

thanks Lizz- good to see you!

[paulywogg]

Hey all, jeez K9,did he refill all the empty toilet paper holders with rolls of t.p and expect you to cover that too?what an asshole,I'd be so pissed, sat for 2 hours at the doctors office waiting to be seen, I was so mad,they took my bp and it was a little higher than usual cuz I was so upset, she was astonished that the other doctor tried to get me off the anxiety meds so quickly, especially after being on them for years, oh well, now my back tooth is crumbling always something I swear, I HATE the dentist, hope everyone has a good night

[mama bear]

Pauly, you crack me up!
Did the doc out you back on a low dose of klonopin?
NORA----yoo who.......where are you
coffee, shower, make up,and work
Sun
- when do you go see your mum?
\

[sunshinedaisies]

Hi there MB - you must be so glad to be home ! Is the new job what you hoped it would be ? I go to see my mum in a little over three weeks - and am looking forward to it so much - we Skyped Sunday and she seems so much better!

Pauly - so sorry for what you are going through re the Klonopin. Sometimes I wonder where doctor's brains are at taking us off things that need to be tapered a lot slower ...

Morning Dottie - I do think you are doing so well and it isn't that long ago - so no worries about your breaking down and/or crying - it is to be expected !

K9 - how did you break your ribs or did I miss that? I broke mine years ago - fell on the lawn mower - and it is SO painful and there is little to be done for it except time to let them mend. How is Sierra doing? Are things settling back to normal for you both?

Hey there Skendall - good to see you here - I am confused about why hubs doesn't want you filing for divorce though - and yes sales are slow in housing - ours is up for sale too! We are really hoping that now the nicer weather is here that things will pick up. We close on our new house in 2 weeks and this one still hasn't even had an offer ! YIKES!

Liz - you are so good at keeping up with us all here - is your co-worker away still right now, hence the many hours for you at work? At least it keeps you out of mischief eh ?

Off to sort stuff for work, and also sort dogs!

hugs to all, Sun xx

[paulywogg]

Hey all, Sunni I didn't even know you had dogs, what kind? Mama, I've been on klono, just not the same dosage,are you liking this job? I know you like the extra money windy here,woke up with eyes glued shut and a stuffed nose,lovely, we shouldn't sleep with the window in our room open but it gets hot upstairs, but not hot enough for the a/c,off to jump in the shower, hello to all, let's kick Tuesdays ass

[Dottie Belle]

Gloomy and raining but I have things to do.
Going to license place again to get title fixed and try to move the vanity plates from my old car to hubbs car that I am keeping. I will be there for hours no doubt but going forward I will be able to renew on line.
Grief group tonight. Hope she has a good topic. Don't feel like I am making any progress but maybe I am. I am just not sure progress toward what?? A new normal?? What does that even mean?? I really hate the thought of being alone for the rest of my life but then again having a relationship with someone new scares me too...I am still in a fog I guess...
Gym keeps me grounded and really helps me sleep. But I had weird dreams again. He was there but I couldn't see him....funny how the mind works.
