Thanks Rose, I saved the picture, My daughter just gave me a hug too, it does help.  Your a good friend, love you, Marla

Dear Marla, here's a one-minute hug coming from Indiana.  (Did you know that being hugged for one minute releases endorphins?)  So gently hug yourself for one minute--time it.  You might also give him a one-minute hug; don't say anything, just start hugging him.  After a few seconds, he may go okay, okay, and start to pull away, but just keep hugging.  You will feel him begin to relax.  Your baby girl needs one too--no words, just hug.

 

As far as the garage door, I've done that too.  We have two " Hairy " Houdinis, our cats, who are escape artists.  When one of them is out, we leave the garage door open a bit, so that if they come in we can hit the button, door goes down & they're trapped!  But more than once I've forgotten or not noticed the door was open & done the same thing you did.  So far I've not damaged the door or the car.  But years ago I did knock the door off my friend's car when I backed out of my garage without shutting the door!  I had borrowed her car to get something from my house, drove in the garage & left the car running, ran in to get whatever, came out & jumped in the car, put 'er in reverse & wham! hit the side of the garage with the door.  I couldn't get the door to shut, so had to run a rope through the windows across the front seat & over the top of the car to hold the door against the car.  It was a very cold night & when I returned to the hospital to pick her up, I called her & told her that if she didn't have a warm coat, she might want to bring a blanket out with her, then I told her what I'd done.  I was very nervous waiting for her, but when she came out, she just looked at her car a minute, then busted out laughing!  (I've remembered that when somebody has messed up something of mine.)  This was long before my NS, so can't blame it on that.  We agreed that I would pay her deductible & I had to take the car for estimates.  It was very embarrassing, but people can be so nice.  The first shop I went to actually bent the door so that it would close & latch, even though they knew that I might not bring the car to them for repair.  I was fumbling around, trying to find a way to explain what happened to the door, when the guy said, " You backed out of the garage with the door open, didn't you? "   Then he told me that it happens more than you would think, so I didn't feel quite so stupid.

 

I hope that this little story brightened your mood a bit.  And just remember that it will be all right.  During a storm we can't see the rainbow, but it's coming.  So are more storms, but the sun & the rainbows will always follow.  I have a nurse friend who used to calm me down at work when I would start fretting about something.  She'd just put her arm around me & say in this wonderfully convincing voice, " Rose, it'll be all right. "   And I would believe her & settle down.  Then she announced that she was retiring & I said, " What will I do when everything's going wrong? " And she said, you guessed it, " Rose, it'll be all right. "   So I took a picture of her & added the quote, then put it in a nice frame.  I had one at work & one at home.  Once my son used the bathroom at my house, came out & asked, " Why is there a picture of Vicki in your bathroom?!? "   I still have that picture in my bedroom & I can look at it & hear Vicki's soothing voice.  Now you will have to imagine the voice, but here is the picture!

Oh my , I am so behind in emails, I'm sorry I didn't see this sooner, Ya actually, I think I need to work my business more, to help my husband, who is so stressed out over money, that he yells at me, my daughter, we took Grandma who is now living here, and get s to see all this wonderful stuff, anyway out to dinner and he yelled at his daughter the whole time, she ate 2 bites, and hung her head the whole night.  Then Last night I did a stupid thing, but I think what my husband does is even worse, we have two windows in the garage, but he leaves the bottom of the garage doors open a few inches for air, OK I press the button, and hear the noise, I'm upset with my daughter who's in the car with her friend, we have to go look for her friends cell phone, she dropped somewhere they shouldn't of been, so I'm trying to handle this and not upset my husband.

I back out into the garage door that only shut instead of open, BECAUSE it was already open, I can't get it to go up, (I didn't hit it that hard, but bent it), so I go ask him for help, and all hell broke lose, yelling, and telling me I have to pay for the panels, cuz he's sick of paying for things with me, there's more I just can't go on.  

so need to make more money, not less. How does a person get on disability and think it may be time.  Sorry, I love you all, Marla

 

Ahhh, well yes I guess I did miss the other one.. and I totally understand.. Marla, honey... don't be discouraged.. People can and will totally piss you off at times.. I just wish that our friends could understand what's going on inside of us.. I know about a year after becoming very very ill with sarc, all of my dearest and long time friends, that I would have sworn that would never leave my side... headed toward the hills, and now that its been so long, they will either say an awkward hi then leave asap.. or they will ignore me all together and pretend that they didn't see me.. I'm ready to start shooting at the last one..  Anyway, I feel your stress, and I know times are hard right now with the hubby trying to start his own business, and you being sick then the crap with your friend.. just a suggestion, I'd put the Kay on hold for a little bit, then if you miss it you can always go back to it, either with your friend or find you a new boss..

 

Take a break, get your second wind.. know that we all love you, and don't want to lose you over to a stroke or heart attack over all this..

 

Love and hugs,

check in time

 

Hell all

Jackie here just checking in to let all know I am ok.

 

A lot going on in this ones personal life.

My sweet son is getting a divorce from his wonderful wife.  So sad.  3 beautiful children involved.  My heart is breaking.

 

The meds I am on, as everyone knows, does a number on the teeth.  I finally took the plunge and said Do it Doc.  And he did.  All gone.  Waiting for the replacements.  Chose to go without for a few weeks so hopefully they fit well.  It has been 6 weeks.  ARGH

 

Looking to get my own place (where it is less controlling).  I love the man I am with but I believe he is holding my progress with walking and being independent back.  Oh well.

 

Other than that all is well.  Hanging in there and dealing with the trials.   I have to.

 

How all is well with others.  Have a wonderful sunny summer.

Life is funny after the anger and embarrassment dies down.

I was going on a road trip with friends on our motorcycles. I was running just a bit late so I wasn't really paying attention. In Front of my Garage was 5 loud bikes gunning engines waiting for me. I ran out the front door with the remote for the door in my hand so I could close it when I left. Well I got on my bike and started out the door, Which wasn't opened after all. Because I went in the side door I just didn't notice it was closed. Friends came running because when hitting the door I dumped the bike. I explained what had happened and showed them the remote so I could shut the door. Everyone began to laugh at me to the point of falling on the ground. The remote I had was to the Television in the kitchen. I haven't been able to live that down yet. They still let me go with them no harm to the bike but I did have to go out the side door with it....

So just remember-----Shit happens ------We have to laugh at ourselves before others are able to do the same.

I understand your hubby is under stress but who isn't in this time. Give him a cute little smile and say " OH WELL I AM WHAT I AM, AND THAT IS SORRY."

Have a wonderful day and another hug coming at you. ((((((((((((((((HUG)))))))))))))))
