Glad to be of service. Hope that earns me a nap before the new aide comes. Yep. On the holiday.

Best,

Sylvia

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.

Naps are good for your health...Go for it!!! I do when needed but my sleep pattern is all messed up. Thats from my HB and son both working midnights. But I cant figure why I'm going on their schedule, I guess to be able to see them for a bit before they go off to bed. When you have to stay quiet all day, its hard to get chores done. So I do mine late at night when they first leave. But then I get so tired by 3am I go to sleep until 6 , only 3 hours , then I'm ready for a nap about this time again..Its a mixed up schedule of sleeping, but I haven't found one sleep aide to help me sleep for over 4 hours...

I get used to it though, but always feel sort of tired...

Have a Great day everyone!!!

Love and Peace, Patty

The day was very busy for me. Chores, chores and more chores. Fetching my daughter to and from her workplace. Seeing that the 4 year old is well and does not hurt herself. My maid has left for Cambodia and my temporary new made has arrived last Fri. I hope everything works fine if not we have to make decisions regarding her performance.

Bye Please Blessings to all of you

Michael , Your very lucky to have a maid. Where I live that would be a luxury ...LOL...much too expensive here.

Well I did it ..I think I can get my sleep back to normal tonight. I have been up since 6 am..went to sleep at 3am last night, so only 3 hours. I stayed awake all day, no nap at all. So I think I will be able to finally get to bed at 9-10 pm and hopefully sleep a straight seven hours...Thats my goal..!!!

Love and Peace, Patty

Hope all go through the Holiday Safely. So many things can happen on drinking holidays, and with this heat I can imagine the people whom consumed too much alcohol

So I hope this day goes easy for most !!! Peace!!

Hi Peace!! Sorry I've been away for so long. I had a great 4th!! I was forgent enough to live in one of only a handful of cities in Colorado that had a firework display last night. We're in such a severe drought and with all the devastating wildfires across the state a lot of cities and towns cancelled shows for last night. But on a lighter side I'm doing much better with my depression!! I've completed a 7 week counseling course and I learned a lot of great tips and tools to use when things start to get bad. I also ust published my first book yesterday!! It's available on Smashwords.com, there is a link on my profile page here on MD junction. Also even more exciting news my first love and girlfriend is now back in my life!! I feel so much happier when she's around. I also promise to be more active in the group!! I hope you're doing good and you too had a great holiday!! I stopped drinking alcohol 6 months ago..so I really hope everyone had a great and safe holiday!! Well take care and talk to you soon!!!

Well evening is upon us, and I really intend to get to bed for real this time, early...The fireworks went on around here until 1 am..That was crazy. They need to stop it by midnight at least, mostly because people have to work the next day..,.

Enjoy your evening...Patty

What the heck!!! I can remember summers like this, just didn't think history repeats itself after 25 years...LOL...

I hope this doesn't mean were in for a severe cold winter...

I really don't like winter at all...but can't wait to go in the 80's next week. These 3 digit temps need to give us a break..LOL

I hope everyone had good 4Jul. I used to look forward to the holidays, now I dread them. In the past 6 years I feel that I have lost everyone. Six years ago I lost my sister, 2 years ago I lost Dad, I have mentally and physically lost mother, she has dementia. Also, after I lost Dad, I was abandoned by my closest cousins. I am not married, have no children. I feel that I am in a prison without bars awaiting death. I want to be happy again - now I think this is a pipe dream. I feel that death would be the kindest thing.
