what's happening

[Guest guest]

Hi All...lots going on. I did travel to see Cosby, Stills & Nash...they

came onstage at 6:35pm, took one 15 minute break about 7:40 - then

played til 9:30. It was wonderful music which brought back many happy

memories of Vince and I. My 2 friends and I each wore a flower wreath

in our hair, and had " glow-sticks " to wave in the dark (like some folks

use lighters). The concert was in the open-air on a brisk, clear

evening, and was so much fun.

My middle daughter, Emmy, went back with her boyfriend. He still says

there is no marriage or children in the future, and Em still believes

she can change his mind. I yi yi. Em has some learning disabilities

and emotional disabiltes, but is not so handicpped that she cannot make

her own decisions. Carroll (boyfriend) told her that he loves her, but

that she really should find a guy who can offer her the marriage and

family she's dreamed of...yet he is quite ok with her moving in with

him. Grrrrr. Well, there's a lot of praying & " let go, let God "

happening on my end. I am very tired of people's criticisms which are

either I should protect her from this, or I should encourage her

independance more. Parenting children with learning and emotional

disabilities is very hard, with many " gray " areas and there are no easy

answers. So, she knows I love her, she knows I am really concerned

about her decisions, and whatever may happen, I'll be here.

My insurance has changed the way Humira is made available...I used to

get it at the local pharmacy, but now it is delivered directly from my

insurer's pharmacy. I don't think they've gotten the bugs out of the

system yet so the Humira came late and I flared, pretty bad hands &

wrists. It'll be fine if they just get the delivery issues figured out.

I'm thinking of going back to school next Spring...nothing for sure, but

it's exciting thinking it may happen.

I see my bariatric surgeon next Monday, so I'll report my weight loss

then. Most of the time I feel pretty good, with bumps in the road, as

we all experience.

Love, Hope & Hugs for all....
