The Celebration of Life Service for Stacey

As much as one wanted to celebrate Stacey's life, it was hard to find words of comfort to understand her death. Her boyfriend who found her body looked shell shocked. Her brother who is one of Blake's good friends was so upset and he said he was so mad at her and he was hurt because he was mad at her and didn't want to be. Her parents were so brave until they played some of her favorite songs and there was not a dry eye in the place. Her dad is keeping everyone together now but I'm afraid what...

Shock

Blake just called and told me that his friend Stacie had shot herself this morning. Blake went to school with her brother and he and Stacie had dated for awhile. She was supposed to have come by to see Blake this morning to show him her new car. Instead for whatever reason, she went to her boyfriends apartment and shot herself. She left a note. Her parents were out of town. I am in shock. She was always so happy to be around. I can't even imagine how her parents are feeling. She was so close to... Sign in to see full entry.

Lots of News

I am still studying for my RN license. I have almost half of the hours I need to be reinstated. I took a course on little known abused drugs. It as like being in chemistry class again. My eyes were crossed by the time I finished and my hand aching from taking notes. Slowly but surely, I will get there. I interviewed for a caregiver position this week and should hear something next week. I will work 3-4 hours a day up to 20 hours helping someone like we were helped with my caregiver assistant. It...

Grief

My neighbor lost her husband last year in July. He had Alzhiemer's also and was older than her like Richard and me. I took Rosie out for a walk this afternoon or rather she took me for a drag. Faye was mowing her yard and we met as I was walking back up the hill. I ask her how she was doing and she said she was having a hard time. As we talked, we could not look at each other because we would well up with tears. She was so sad and said how she wished he hadn't died yet and how he went too soon.... Sign in to see full entry.

Third times charm and lets see if this will actually post

I have tried to post the last 3 days and it didn't take. Anyway. I am still sick and have started my third round of antibiotics, for 21 days this time. This infection has run havoc with the Fibro and the pain. They are also running tests for Mono and epstein barr virus. I finally have the cough under control so I can sleep at night. I did manage to study and take a test on Preventing Needlesticks in the Workplace. It was 15 pages of government legalese and I thought it would never end but I... Sign in to see full entry.

Dog Sitting

I am dog sitting today and tonight for Brooke and Scott. They have gone to the water park in Gatlingburg and are spending the night. Spunky is very nervous about Rosie because Rosie being the hound dog that she is has to announce all company and talk a lot when she plays. Midnight on the other hand can ignore everything as long as she has a rawhide chew. Rosie and the Buster Duster make a good team because they bark equally as they play. Anyway, Rosie and Midnight soon had a nice game of tug of... Sign in to see full entry.

Fibromyalgia Sucks

Fibormyalgia sucks. You can make no plans and just one step to many lands you in bed exhasted and in pain for days. It takes weeks to get over any illness. You always know when it is going to rain--pain, pain, pain. I need an energy session. All that being said, you can only survive by striving to have a positive attitude. This is so hard to maintain. Fibromyalgia causes you to become frozen. You literally cannot do anything. Your mind will not work and you know your body is not going to... Sign in to see full entry.

I Mowed the Yard

For the third time I will try to post this blog. The first is a picture of my back yard and Richard's shed where he would go and tinker until last year. My house sets on a hill as seen in the second picture and Blake's house(Mom's) is the white house beside the barn. We have 2 acres between us. It has been raining almost every day so when Blake had time to mow it was raining. He got part of his yard mowed and I mowed the rest of his and all of my yard. We have a 52 inch riding mower which I had... Sign in to see full entry.

Spiritual Mentor?????

I knew with all my heart I was to help Richard lose his "religious fears" and find enlightenment and feel the love and forgiveness of God before he transitioned to the other side. It would seem that I am also destined to help Jim(my ex) loose his doom and gloom attitude and his blame for God for all the bad things that have happened in his life. When we were in Edisto, we talked about living in the moment and leaving the past behind and not fearing the future. I did an EFT session for him so he... Sign in to see full entry.

An other round of antibiotics

I just thought I was getting better. A day after I finished my antibiotics my symptoms were back. So today, I went back to the DR. and another antibiotic. I'm not as sick as I was so I hope this Z-pack gets rid of it. Rosie has redecortated the house in eary pig stye while I was sleeping and resting these past two weeks. Do you think I can teach her to vacuum and take out the garbage in one large bag instead of a piece at a time?LOL I have a lot of mind energy and I hope my physical body catches...

Trying To Get Back In The Swing

Fibromyalgia and any sickness do not mix. You are completely laid low and you need to learn that you will not win the battle of pushing on with your life. You have to slow down and rest. You have no reservses to call upon. So you learn that you are at the mercy of whatever illness that has come upon you; go to bed and wait it out. You will be up sooner and back in the flow sooner but definitely slow than you would like. Instead of three weeks in bed, I have only been 2 weeks and slowly but... Sign in to see full entry.

I'm Back From Paradise

I have just gotten back from a wonderful, wonderful, wonderful Paradise vacation. I've prayed for this vacation for years. Beach Trip. I am a new woman. So much to say. If you have never been to Edisto Beach in South Carolina, I have to highly recommend it espicially if all you want to do is rest. You can go to Edisto.com and see beach scenes. Anyway, we (Jim my ex) went to Wyndham Resort Ocean Ridge. We had been to Edisto several times be when we lived in Charleston and we had even stayed at... Sign in to see full entry.
