Another sunny but chilly morning. Beautiful blue sky! I've been working in the garden, it was ignored for almost 4 years and I'm bringing it back to life. So surprising to see things I'd thought I'd lost coming back! As I work, ideas start popping into my head on what to plant and small changes to make. DH and I did everything together and I miss him, it takes much more time and energy for me to do it myself... but I have a vision on how I'd like to make it mine. Doing more veggies this year. A small new area I had dug up by a back hoe last year will be planted with all different types of sunflowers until I can amend the soil properly.
Max and I are off for our walk now.. have a good Wednesday sisters. xoxo

Sorry your cat suffers too. They told me yesterday and today car might be ready but I don’t get a call. Seems like last time. Tried all day to think positive but finally took a nap. I’m not a positive thinker because so much negative has happened all my life. But I’m still here.

Mooch seems to be drinking and litter had wet spots. Food looked nibbled at. He has been in my lap not in a curled up ring on back of couch as before. So good sign.

Got in a stressful conversation with a friend who said I sounded depressed. I told her I’m not depressed I’m upset which is different. People always try to make me do what they think. it’s annoying. Usually I ignore it but I was so stressed I told her strongly I’m not Depressed. She likes to be bossy then apologize. I told her apology helps the apologizer feel better but doesn’t help the person getting the apology. Like if someone kicks you the body still hurts even if there’s an apology. She keeps on being bossy and apologizing. I let it go and we chatted today. I’m usually not like this. I sure am stressed.

Stress and anxiety can be as hard as depression Polly, and can make physical illness worse or even cause it, probably don't have to tell anyone that. Once you realize it though, and try to tweak how you think, it can be a game changer. So easy to get stuck and play over the intrusive thoughts that are negative, it almost becomes habit as a coping skill...I had to learn this myself. The brain is a tricky! Have you considered cognitive therapy as a way to help? I too want to see you have happier days. Hugs

I'm like you. I've always made enough money to support my family, so I don't qualify for anything now that I am older. The support that people get from the provincial government here isn't enough to live on, which is why most of them are couch surfing with friends or banding together to rent an apartment and then cramming their entire family into one bedroom while another family is in the next.!
It's annoying that things don't seem to be getting any better. Maybe DD is right, don't watch the news!!!!
Love you back, Susan, raging and all

Life for me has been a struggle, but I always felt fortunate to have what I have, and even more so that the world is how it is today. The benefits.. that struggle made me a strong person. I am comfortable now, but quite often feel guilty being so. xoxo

Good morning, I get up at 6:30 every morning even if I don't want to.. only to get animals fed, myself presentable, and maybe light the fire and then savour a cup of coffee before walking at 8:00. I catch up on my MSNBC every morning too. I moved four peonies yesterday and took a good dose of Tylenol last night so I would be able to move today! xoxo

Morning. Seems like Sunday is the day to do laundry. I often do a load a day and will be doing that today just like you all.


When I was growing up we didn't do anything on Sunday's. How things have changed.

Chicken thighs today, with garlic butter shoved under the skin, sauté pots and veg for himself. Not very hungry but got to be seen eating something. Got some ground lamb out for tomorrow although not sure what I'm going to do with it yet. xx


Do you google your recipes? Bet there's something wonderful you can do with ground lamb... what's a saute pot, a stir fry? xox

Good morning, it's a chilly 6C but looks like the sun will be out today. The crazy woodpecker that drills on the metal light standard is back, of course probably a new generation. This is the first time Max has heard it, so all morning he's been growling! I'm being gifted three hydrangea's so today will make a spot for them. The dogwoods are in flower and busting out all over. I usually park my car near one of them, and some "dirty bird" has been leaving deposits all over it this week. Off for my morning walk. Wishing you all a good weekend. xoxo

We will see. He is up and down. It seems we take turns. When one is up the other is down. Hoping we have a stretch where both of us are up.


Those days are to be enjoyed and treasured. Hoping you both get to share them soon.
