good morning Marlene

Quote From: blacklab70

I can not believe August is almost gone, the summer has gone by very fast.  Cold weather will soon be here and I am about ready, its been so dry here, just can not afford to water as I would like, but looking at other yards in this little town I can see I am not the only one.  

   

I want to wish Gladys a Very Happy Birthday, may you have many more.  

   

When I weighed this morning I found I had gained a pound, and I know why--Stress-Stress-Stress!!  

I just have not shared a couple of things that have been going on with me, but that was a mistake, I should have known better, sharing has always helped before as it will now.  

   

First I found out about 2 months ago that my 29 year old daughter had a pap smear come back bad, the biopsy came back that it was cancer.  She had surgery 2 weeks ago yesterday, the Dr. felt confident that he got it all, she will get the results of the biopsy he took after surgery tomorrow.  She has to have a pap smear every 3 months for some time.  I just turned it over to God and have so much to be thankful for.  She is feeling so much better and gone back to work.  I know she will be alright, just have to leave it in God's hands.  

   

My second problem is my friend from high school days.  I have really enjoyed him, enjoy our long talks, he has helped me get past a lot, but to put it in plain words, he is smothering me.  There are times I feel I can not breathe.  I would like to stay his friend,  I have been alone and so independent for so many years, just don't think we can ever be more than friends and I am not sure he will be willing to accept that.  I have pretty much made up my mind so guess whatever happens there happens.  I just can not accept someone telling me how, when and where--guess that says it all.  I will be alright, just do what I need to do and go on.  

   

My house will be very nice when all is done, just takes time when we have to do it a little at a time.  Thats what happens when everyone is so busy.  As long as it is done before the snow flies that is fine with me.  

   

Have been working in my yard, getting some flower beds cleaned out a little, getting ready to get my fish pond ready for winter.  

   

Everyone have a great week, and take care of you.  LOL  Marlene  

   

   

I am sorry to hear that your daughter has been through so much, but very glad that they caught it and that she is on the way to recovery..my prayers are with you and her.. 

Seems you have had a very busy summer..I know what you mean about living alone and being independent..I sometimes wonder if all that independence isn't robbing me of a happier life..but then having someone tell me what to do, when to do it, how to do it would be very very stressful..Hopefully he will wish to remain friends..Anyhow, it's a nice choice to have to make..flattering...at least he's "attentive"..lol..w/love and hugs, diane

I also have been on my own too long to go back to having someone tell me what I can and cannot do....I miss the companionship, but would not want to be smothered either.... 

My leg is healing nicely, hope to have at least a temporary job next week... 

We have family who had to get out of New Orleans, afraid they will have nothing to go back to....Can't help but wonder where the 9,000 or so who had to leave the superdome were able to go...They showed lots of people trying to survive under bridges and overpasses....Even the Red Cross can't set up feeding stations without dry land to put it on...TN has sent emergency workers, as I am sure most states have....We are also sending vets to work with the animals and morticians to help with the bodies and graveyards.... 

As one reporter said, this is our tsunami....it is hard enough to live from day to day, we never know what the next day will bring....God help us all...MaryB
