PS: Liz, I have a package on the way for Max for Valentine's from me and the kids. I hope he enjoys it, as it should arrive on Valentine's Day. Please let me know if he likes it.

up lifting

 

Hi gals.

[TryinginFL]

lifting weights

 

 

I have missed you, FH - happy you stopped by!

[Raven72]

weights heavy

 

Hope all had a nice Valentine's Day. Mine was good, my hubby and I both had to work. We don't exchange gifts or send flowers or anything. We go to dinner and that's it. We have decided to go to dinner in a couple of weeks with no children allowed.

heavy burdens

 

*peeks in* Hello???

 

I feel so small right now. My home life is great, other parts not so much. I feel incredibly small and helpless. I just wish I actually looked as small as I feel   The weight will not go away. I know I could exercise and I really need to get off my duff and do it, but it wasn't this hard to motivate myself the last time I lost a great deal of weight. This weekend we were at my husband's warehouse and the kids and I were walking around with him. We went to walk between the wall and a shelf. My wonderfully handsome 9 years old son said "I bet you can't fit through there Mommy."

burdens lightened

 

Hi raven,

 

kids don't have filters - but they don't necessarily attach a judgement to an observation. i've learned a lot about life from kids and that's how i work through my anxiety - acceptance: observe without judgement.

 

when i was on the C i gained a lot of weight. one day my then 4 year old grandson said "grandma, is that a baby in your belly?" my daughter said "he didn't mean that!" i said of course he does! but he had his arms around my neck, obviously my big belly didn't matter to him one bit.

 

thought i'd drop by and say hi to the gang. its been quite awhile. all's good. very busy. i just celebrated 1 year at my now not-so-new job. i've survived! i marvel at the stories from those who suffer as i did but manage to take care of family, hold a job and more. that's real courage!

[Raven72]

lightened mood

 

Thank you. I know in his heart he didn't mean it harshly. It's just a mini wake up call is all.

[TryinginFL]

mood changes

 

 

Hey everyone!    Nice to hear from you brz!

 

Just want to share that I ordered some Tai Chi dvd's and am going to give them a try - hope they might help the fibro as I have heard!

 

Should get them next week - wish me luck!

[Raven72]

Good morning everyone

Hi all!

 

Raven, it is fine if you would like Max to visit!  He has been rather antsy lately, so think he needs to travel!

[Raven72]

So sorry Max did not send a thank you note, Raven, but he loved it!

 

So far, he reads quite well but he is a little  behind in writing...

It's okay - I just wanted to be sure he received it.

 

I have to be sure to have his brandy and cigars. I have his bathrobe and had ready for Friday evening

received symptom

 

So, sleep paralysis stinks. I have had the worst week.

[TryinginFL]

symptom occurred

 

 

Happy Saturday, everyone!

 

How is Max getting along, Raven?  I'm sure he arrived happy as I suppose he had his burgers on the way!

And, of course, Friday is his favorite evening having his brandy and cigars!

 

I have not been able to drive since Wed, as my sciatica is so painful...  getting old sucks!

[gail]

Occured to me

Long time since my last post here and it occured to me that posting, even if I am in a dark period mentally and physically, would do me good.

And when it comes to my beloved Max, it makes me smile.

Withdrawing from Lamictal is worsening the depression and anxiety. Pain where my kidney was removed, makes it hard to work. Both together, makes me wish that I would not be here. I sure did not expect Lamictal withdrawal. It never crossed my f$#@$#mind, I just had enough as it was.

So I am back for a while. Scan on Friday to see what's going on with the pain. I sure wish that it has to do with scar tissue pain.

Thanks to you, Liz, I am reaching out!

[TryinginFL]

me too!

 

 

So happy to see you here again, Gail!  We have missed you.

 

Love, hugs and prayers sent to you

[fishinghat]

too much

 

Oh poor Liz. It sounds like you need a visit from Max. He can massage you and maybe share his sherry(?) and his cigar. Please keep us posted on the drs visit.
