I'm tired of cooking/preparing 3 meals a day. It's just the two of us but boy oh boy can that woman eat!! She stays slimish, I get fattish. It's bad enough I do everything here much less start making her one thing and me the other. At times I feel guilty when I buy her fast food cuz of the nutritional value....not to mention I eat it too.
I have bad news about our group discount. As your loyal friend, I tried to buy in bulk for all of us on aging.com. Turns out they're fully out of peace. "Come back in 50 years," they told me.
It's back to the war zone for me. Fighting one problem after another. Hope I get a medal for bravery and heroism.
So exciting to be waiting to meet the newest member of the family.
Congrats on the soon to be arrival of your grandbaby!
One of my nieces did the birth at home thing, under water, midwife and birth doula.
Funny story about my mom’s birth. She was born at home with a midwife. My ancestors came over from England and settled in New Orleans.
A couple of my friends and I went out for coffee one evening and I was telling my friends that mom was born with a midwife at home.
My friend said that her grandmother was the only midwife in New Orleans during that time frame. So I said, ‘So, your grandmother delivered my mother. Cool!’
Small world, huh?
I bet we could get a group discount! 😁
XLL Peace, free shipment
YES please!! Just about to start my day & you gals just lightened it up 🌞🌞🌞
I adore a person with sarcastic wittiness! You made me giggle just now.
Wouldn’t it be nice if we could order it in a JUMBO size?
Damn straight, leave a really good review for it! Amazon Prime has free shipping, so we will order it there! 😊
Sometimes there really are things out of your control.
Need:
Thanks! I’m also really glad. Good riddance. Now the only thing is, the discovery of that frenemy is just a tiny problem, compared to the mountain of problems in front of me (which have nothing to do with frenemies). Mount Everest is a tiny, tiny pebble in comparison. Mount Everest should be embarrassed how small it is!
Of course, I try to focus on what I can control.
Anyway, I need to vent again. Here I go: 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶
I feel a little better.
Need:
Peace in my life. That sounds great. Can I order that online, size XLL? Free shipping? Do I leave a review?
There are genuine people who are sincere in their wishes and there are phonies who are just pretending.
Personally, I detest hypocrisy. I would rather someone be honest with me, than to pretend to be a friend.
Sooner or later, people figure out who the phonies are.
I am glad that you found out sooner, rather than later, that this person wasn’t sincere.
I am sorry that things are so difficult at the moment. As Alva always says, not everything can be fixed.
Hoping that you will be able to settle your issues, or at least find coping strategies, so that you can have peace in your life.
Need - I actually feel ok other than sore muscles which are getting better.
venting - you do have control - over yourself and what you choose to do about your situation,
I tried to think what advice I would give a friend, if they were going through what I'm going through. But it's so unbelievable what I'm going through. Would seem like fiction.
I guess I'd say: take one problem at a time. Then just keep getting rid of the problems. Look at the big pile of problems, start with a small problem.
Unrelated to this, I discovered a new problem today. Someone I trusted, turned out to be a frenemy (enemy disguised as a friend). Well it's better to know now, that to never have found out. I cut them out of my life this morning.
Perhaps I, should, write that book. What would I call it? I guess that depends how it ends.
I hope I can call the book "It Ended Better Than I Ever Could Have Dreamed Of".
Thank goodness I don't eat ice cream anymore - unless I make it.
My whine today is about sore abdominals. I did a major trip on something and didn't fall, but oh my obliques and more are sore!!! Shows me that's an area I need to work on - side bends at least. It only hurts when I laugh, or cough or bend or...
Also I haven't been able to get a doctor yet. I am on two waiting lists. For my prescription meds I can see the pharmacist again who will send me for a TSH blood test first or go to a walk in clinic, so my immediate needs are met. I don't need another drivers medical till summer 2025 so I am Ok there, I guess getting prescriptions and getting a family doctor are two different exercises. Sigh. One of my reasons for moving here was better medical care! Hah!!! My son who just arrived here found one quickly near him. He won't tell me who he is,🤔

It's more like 95% don't believe in karma, 5% do.
Personally, I've never seen karma at work in my life. As in, I've never seen people who did bad things get what they deserve, in my opinion. And I've seen plenty of good people have terrible things happen to them.
But despite that, I believe in karma. It's like a deep belief in order in the universe. Moral order. That one day - don't know when, there will indeed be karma, people will get what they deserve.
Hellokarma! Yes, I'll continue doing me, which as you said, is already a full-time job. I'm even doing over-time.
I was friends a man who did some really crappy stuff to his aging mom. He never forgave himself. He ended up in jail, for covering up his sons crimes. I think some people that can't forgive themselves, keep doing stupid stuff because they don't feel that they deserve better.
We all have done dom hurtful things to people, it's all about learning not to do it again.
I confirm I exist. Everything happens at the right time…
You just keep doing you, which is already a full-time job.
