Isolation

I know all to well about the isolation. Since the illness and losing my job and moving to Pittsburgh, there is too much alone time. No friends to speak of here in this small town but it is quiet here and I have my own house now w/porches and decks now so I can enjoy the fresh air, sunshine and nature. Just the idea that I can pull into my own driveway, wake up to my own place and privacy and work in the flower garden is such a joy. Can't wait till my tomatoes are ready to harvest. One of my favo… Continue

Mood Swings

Went into a deep depression for weeks..... not going out of the house, not eating much and just overwhelmed with the feeling of giving up. Now, with regrets, I realized that the best thing to do was to have gotten into my car, got back out there and into nature and the world of the "living". Why is it that when I feel so depressed, I throw away my treasured belongings and clothing that was new and/or in good condition and kept my old clothing I've been wearing fo years. When asked by one of my f… Continue

they needed to be brushed really bad,they were so full of hair.The chow germane Sheppard mix was so full of loose hair but I finely got that under control and the other dog oooooooooh my gosh.I took a bag to put the loose hair in it but then it got windy and his hair flew over the park.My son is going to be on this side of town tomorrow and is going to visit.Tom will bring my grandsons to see their grandmother.The visit will be nice.

At 10:18pm on October 13, 2009, CR said…: Did you say Candy Corn,"yummmmm"also a favorite of mine. My husbands family just loves dark chocolate, but I never acquired a taste for it ,I have alway's found white chocolate to be much sweeter.I recall when I was small and in school that I would put candy on my desk when it was time to take a nap and snack on it while everyone was asleep.

I am going to Asheville with my daughter, son-in-law & granddaughter for Thanksgiving. I am looking forward to it immensely....can antique shop. Also, I am an animal lover and just took over ownership of a young tabby cat that was roaming the streets. A young girl came back later that day & said she belolnged to him. The cat was sleeping & hiding out somewhere so she said she'd be back but never did return. Guess she wasn't all that attached. Been sleeping a lot, taking naps nearly every day but looking forward to planting spring bulbs tomorrow since the rain has finally stopped and the ground will be easier to work with since it will be softer to dig. Funny that you mentioned ince cream as one of your fav foods; I luv my ice cream...just had vanilla bean w/brownie. Too much on the stomach and, with Halloween, I've been enjoying the candy corn.

At 3:08pm on October 3, 2009, CR said…: Hello,I have been catching up with jet lag so I have been sleeping a lot.I had a wonderful vacation at my daughters house.Katie my daughter lives in Fayetteville North Carolina and it is just beautiful. Fayetteville is a sleepy town set in the mountains so there is a small forest right behind her house,we would take long walks most of the time trough the forest and around her neighbor hood and sit in her house oh just doing stuff and talking. Katie has this female pure bread Germaine Sheppard, it is beautiful and so sweet and me being an animal lover(to a point) we got along well.Katie said that when I left the dog whined and walked around like she was lost.The whole month I ate junk food, John my husband is such a healthy eater and if I had my way ice cream would be a staple in my freezer,ha ha ha.
I like my apt although I miss all the room of country living. The cool weather is finely here in Arizona,I am just in time for it as the summers are pretty hot and getting hotter it seems.

At 4:14am on September 30, 2009, Kathy Repko said…: Hi,Faith. Yes, I'm feeling much better. I read about your dust storm and hope that you weathered it well. We are having cooler weather with rains nearly the past couple of days with light wind. Am thinking of adopting a rescue pug w/disabilities. Have adopted a small tabby wondering my street but a young girl came to claim it but it was asleep & hiding somewhere. She is to come back.
