Good morning to all of our night owls. Today's a new day, and the day my Social Security check gets deposited in my bank account. My depression is continually worse. Can't wait until next week when my doc gets back. Of course I'm grabbing at straws since we've already tried everything he can think of or I can come up w/ from you guys and searching the web. It's just frightening as hell to think I may never feel any better physically or emotionally/ psychologically for the rest of my life. Viv is about the same as she was yesterday, and still sleeping a lot of the time. She sends regards to all, and of course her prayers and love. Please keep praying for some peace for her, and for god's will for her. Have a great day! Best to all, Sylvia 'I didn't have time to write a short [post].' Mark Twain wrote that one for me. LOL

The guy in the next car could be on a computer in the dash board (whoever dreamed that up should have to watch autopsies), while the one behind you is texting. It's important to be aware of those around you. The kid who ended my second to last life was in a huge SUV and on the telephone.

Hi again, in the spirit of continuing what was started on yesterday's news thread, Pam you are welcome for the Viv updates. I too wish I had better news. Fidgetgirl, I hope the storm takes a sudden turn out over the ocean or something. Good luck getting thru it if it continues its current direction. Are you talking about the Chesapeak Bay Bridge Tunnel? If you are, I was on it once and it's beautiful. Best, Sylvia 'I didn't have time to write a short [post].' Mark Twain wrote that one for me.

Morning everyone. Good day Friday wishes to all. Heading out for a bit, got to do some errands and finish shopping for the kids for school. I have a headache again. It's stress and sinus related. But pulling myself together to get up and connect to life otherwise, it's real depressing to stare at the 4 walls and a messy house. So here I go.

May the road rise up to meet you
May the wind always be on your back.
May the sun lie warm upon your face.
And until we meet again,
May the Lord hold you
In the hollow of His hand.

Really rough day, I'm sorry everyone. I'm not feeling well. I went out and took the kids got jipped in 2 stores and been yelling all day. I feel so out of it and exhausted. I'm so overwelmed with my kids home. I wish I could help but right now can't even take care of things here. Feel free to come on and chat and support one another. I'm gonna lay down a bit and try to get rid of this headache. I'll catch up with you all later. Hugs, Rachele Having the courage to walk step by step each day.

Hi all, I actually slept the entire day and am now trying to wake up, but I'll be w/ y'all in a short time. We (your leaders) apologize for seeming lack of leadership in the last week or two, but as you know, Viv is ill, Rach has many responsibilities, some of which should be sorted out when her kids go back to school, and some that will get worse then (like having to drive them around), and I have been ill for a few weeks, tho since there's fibro involved, the symptoms keep changing. So I beg your foregiveness for the three of us and ask for a bit of patience. Best to all, Sylvia 'I didn't have time to write a short [post].' Mark Twain wrote that one for me. LOL

Hi again, I have some good news for a change. I might have posted this before, but I'm so excited (something I rarely feel anymore) that I'd rather repeat than forget because you are all kind enough to listen to my bad news. For the last few months I finally have a aide I like, who likes me, and we work well together. Since she's here 3 hours twice a week, we also chat a lot. A few weeks ago I told her I needed a fix - that I was so depressed that I needed a baby, toddler or pre-schooler because nothing on earth picks me up like little ones. The poor aide works 7 days a week including the 7 to 4 shift at a factory 6 days a week and then taking care of me and others who need aides. A few weeks ago she walked in and put this little smiling bundle on the floor. I put my hands out, and my aide's 18 month old niece came running into them. She climbed into my lap, gave me a giant hug, took hold of my chin to turn my face so she could give me a smacker on the cheek, then she put her head on my shoulder and went to sleep. After a short while she woke raring to go. We had a wonderful time, and I felt much better for days. On top of my running list for things I need the aide to help w/ are bold, red, all caps that say 'Bring Erin to me.' Again, she'd bring her more often, but she has so little time. She came in Tuesday, took one look at me (I'd been crying all day) and said she was bringing Erin on Sunday. So two more days and I get another fix. Erin wouldn't speak to her aunt for a few days. She was angry because she had so much fun w/ me and couldn't figure out why she couldn't come back. Her mom sent me a picture of her, and I sent her a picture of me so she wouldn't forget me. My aide said Erin got so excited when she told her she was bringing her here on Sunday. She got on the phone one day and told me she loved me, and then giggled. I maintain that if we could bottle baby giggles we could end a lot of depression. Best to all, Sylvia 'I didn't have time to write a short [post].' Mark Twain wrote that one for me. LOL
