  • Monthly Weigh In- June ‘25

    142.2 lbs. Very surprised. I haven’t been consistent on the bike because of being outside gardening.

  • Has to be Said

    For everything I do and everywhere I go, I’m in pain. I don’t mention it in my posts unless it stops me cold. My neck went out again two weeks ago that I’m still dealing with. I can’t stand for more than ten minutes. I wake up with my hips aching, throbbing with pain. I…

  • My Issues

    Here I sit probably a month later, after saying I was goiing to deal with my issues and I haven’t dealt with any of them. I think I’m depressed, no, I know that I am. Things are worse with Pete, I can’t hide or push my thoughts away. Every night I wake up because my…

  • Mother’s Day

    Mother’s Day this year was on Sunday. I was going to work since nothing was going on but decided not to. Bryan called me first thing in the morning from DisneyWorld. I got to speak to Brylee. I haven’t gotten a card from Bryan in over 5 years. He swears that he sends them but…

  • Nature Nurtures

    “Nature is a place of balance and is very comforting to me. I get a sense of peace and connection”

  • Love, Love, Love

    All around my house I have the lyrics “All you need is love” and in the new house my original art, “Love is all you need.” Here I am with no love at all. I know my kids will say they love me and I’m sure they do. Neither will go out of their way…

  • Monthly Weigh In – May 2025

    This morning, 144 lbs. I’m still watching what I eat but haven’t been on my stationary bike since my back went out. I have been outside gardening.

  • Purple Hair

    A lady I work with came in one day with really pretty light purple hair, (she has gray hair). I asked her about it and she said it was temporary, she did it herself and told me what brand. She said it’s expensive but worth it. I also have natural gray hair and I’ve been…

  • Feeling Better

    So Thursday I started to feel better. What is the first thing I decide to do? Work outside of course! Its so weird that I can kneel down on my kneeler, stretch to the front, sideways, all over, with my head in the bushes and my back doesn’t go out. Then I sit on a…

  • Self Medicating

    My hip and leg are still spasming with pain. Yesterday morning was hard. I took 2 Ibuprofen at around 5:30 am. When I got up, with difficulty, I decided to take Meloxicam 15 mg. This is the drug that I was originlly prescribed last May when this same thing happened in Hilton Head, that and…
