Hi Katie, here I am! Awe shucks, you're making me feel so warm and fuzzy!
Hi Amanda.... awe thanks!
Well my laptop's hard drive died the other night. I woke up to it giving me NOTHING. I go to restart it and that's when I found out. It was just fine the night before and I put it to sleep, then this. Oh then our microwave died, my car has problems and the list can go on.
I've been struggling for a while now physically & emotionally... DH has been much more supportive lately, I've had to not sugar coat how I'm feeling physically and emotionally. Yes, my physical state has actually caused the emotional state to be hypersensitive. I'm trying to get some testing done ASAP because I can't continue to live this way. I know I'm being very vague and I'm sorry. It has allot to do with this "fibromyalgia" I've felt since day 1 that it was something else, they need to be more extensive in their testing...
Some GOOD news is I believe that my heart has been healing much better over both of my losses this summer. My husband and I had a heart to heart the other night and he broke down into tears, I actually HELD MYSELF TOGETHER!!! I can talk about it without sobbing uncontrolably and actually progressed to where I can without tears too, the pain is in my heart and always will be. There are so many thoughts that I have, but I'm finally coming to *peace* with them. (ok, so it does make me cry to know they're in heaven... but I'd like to think they're always with me! I *see* them all the time)
So I have been around, been just not able to get on here like I'd like to... we had a HORRIBLE storm Ida with 2 low pressure systems roll in all at once so we had TORRENTIAL rain and severe flooding. There's so much damage around, we almost lost one of our restaurants into the bay because the water rose more than 15ft. However they survived while others actually fell into the water. It's bad, but most have their power back, the waters are down and today is the 1st day of sun in nearly a week.
We finally got out today and went to a walk on the oceanfront. I HAVE to go by myself if it's going to have any cardio impact, I used to think that I needed a partner to be motivational... no I'm better by myself so I can set my own pace and not worry about dusting my kids or friends

LOL! However, I do enjoy the company so maybe twice a day
So my apologies for not getting on here sooner to tell you... you are all in my hearts all the time! Big warm

to all my girls
