@Chimera thank you, I still have lists that I have to complete. I used to be the worlds worst procrastinater.

The day is only half over and I have gotten everything done that I needed to do. I suppose there are a few things I could do still that are like "Maybe I should do this." but nothing remains that I must do and I already went above and beyond by visiting a friend who is in a nursing home getting rehab from double pneumonia, shingles and bell's palsy. She is lucky to be alive, but going crazy with nothing to do. At least they gave her a TV, but she has no phone. They use a cordless phone and she cannot hear it. So basically she is cut off from the world.
I put aside some things for her that she might benefit from, like a memory game (her memory is failing, her best friend POA told me) and a book of WORD FIND PUZZLES and a magazine. I don't know if she can still see well enough to read or not though. We shall see. I will be trying to get a ride to deliver these things to her tomorrow after church from the folks that give me a ride to church. They are very charitable and loving and caring folks, so I am sure they will. I walked down there to see this friend today, as it is just down the block, but traffic is fast on this road, so going at any other time but 6am when I went today, will be out of the question. Even at 6am I ran into several cars and had to get off the road even so.

I apologize to all of you for not being on here as of late! I have been super busy, with one son graduating High School, and another moving to Utah. I'm suppose to be packing right now, last minute of course! But I wanted to get a word in that I think of all of you and wish you well. We are driving straight through today, about a 23 hour trip, because neither man wants to spend a night at a hotel! I'm hoping that my illnesses keep at bay. From doing all the stuff, preparation, etc., for my son's graduation, I ended up collapsing and sleeping for 21 hours straight. I am hoping I do not repeat that with this trip. My husband and I, once we get our son settled, are going to take a trip through SD and the Badlands. Never been there.
Oh and major stress from my dad's divorce. Had to cut off my stepmom, stepsister, and her family because of the lies and brutal things they have been saying about my dad. Breaks my heart, but I can't have that toxicity in my life.
Be well everyone!

@Brittf7 Thank you for updating here, you have been missed! I am so sorry about the need to cut off contact but so understand, I had to do that myself with my stepdaughter and her mom when my husband died. Hope that you have a fun trip and do not get sick at all.
I am feeling good today, thankfully. I quit smoking later on in the day today for real and health reasons. No anxiety which I am very grateful for and feel happy about.

A good day, I was in hospital, and enjoyed chatting to other patients and the staff, it was so nice because I'm so reclusive the rest of the time :)

Thank you Cashew and Gizmo! It's been an adjustment. Think about you all often. Oldest son is now many states away. Youngest son will be in college by the end of August. What to do with myself? lol I'll figure it out.
Gizmo, good luck on quitting smoking. I realize it is very, very hard. But think of people, like my mom, who would of had a better chance of surviving her heart attack(who knows maybe she wouldn't of had one), had she not been a smoker. She also had COPD. So, when the breathing tube was in her, it would fill with gunk and it was very hard for the nurses to clean. In fact, when they took it out to do a trach, it was horribly filled with gunk. It was her lung dr that gave me the lowdown that she would not survive. I would not wish that on anyone. She had a friend dying from lung cancer at the time that she was taking care of. When I cleaned out her home she had stuff on her table to help her quit smoking. She never got to use them. I wish you all the strength you need to accomplish this.

Been tough so far. It's only 11 am but I've been up since 3:30ish so it feels like it's half over.
had therapy today and I am disappointed in myself.

I did some self evaluation today and made up a list of goals for myself, very doable. Got my laundry done first thing in the morning and will work on putting photos into a picture album later on. So far it has been peaceful for me.
