Hi, gang! What's up?

[d's girl]

 

How about a thread where we can go just to check in,

hang out, converse a little about anything? 

here's a place for us to just...

 

check in...

 

see what's going on with each other...

 

catch up...

 

So... what's up?

d's, Congrat's. A productive day does feel really good.

[d's girl]

Thanks, Robbie. And yes, it really does. Especially when you're a terrible procrastinator like me. It's probably my biggest & worst flaw/fault, whatever you wanna call it.

So, yes, it feels really good to have put in such a productive day. Pretty much 12 hours of nonstop work - I feel good about that.

[d's girl]

I had a really great day today. I hope all of you did, too. We slept 'til we woke up on our own, w/no alarm clock, went on a bike ride, went to Mass, which was wonderful - the Contemporary Christian band did the music - it was great!

Nice lunch at home afterward, then REALLY nice... nap. '-)

Lovely afternoon walk & here, the evening & bedtime is upon us.

sigh... wonderful day.

I shoveled shit yesterday. Got pasid double for doing that.

Then  came back did my hair, showered, then exercised, talked on the  phone, and had a long talk with mr. Coors Light and went to bed.

It was a good day

[d's girl]

Glad you had a good day, Beth.

[d's girl]

You know, B A F, it was pretty close to perfect. I am in a real state of gratitude right now. It's awesome.

Thanks for celebrating it w/me.

[CWO3ROBBIE]

Mine sucked.

[d's girl]

I'm really sorry, Robbie. I wish you'd been here w/us. I'm confident it would've been much better than "sucked". Let's dwell in possibility... you, me, D-man, your dog, my dogs, good food, good company, beautiful day, wine, cider... there. Is that better? '-)

[d's girl]

Wow. Thank you, B A F. I'm glad I stayed up for that.

[d's girl]

I went back to work today. Made it thru the whole day.

Even ran errands & rode my bike 3 miles after work.

But I'm still consumed w/the blues.

And I just listened to Tracy Chapman's The Promise on The Dyslexic Dodger's page

& now my fragile heart is broken & globbing all over me.

Things are not so good for me right now.

[Ruby Red Crystal]

Hugs to you D's, it is really tough when we just get overcome with everything...it happens to me all the time. 

 

[d's girl]

Thanks, RRC. I know you already know this, but so that I don't seem cryptic w/the rest of the gang, I'm going to share some of what I shared w/her cowboy last night (w/his permission '-)

I have an auto-immune disease that gets triggered by ingesting even a trace element of gluten- a protein found in wheat, rye & barley. To my dismay, I was 'glutened' in a restaurant a few weeks ago. The direct damage lasts for about 6 weeks & the collateral damage even longer. I can't absorb nutrients for that time. It causes fatigue, which is debilitating at times; depression & anxiety, ulcers in my mouth, bruises all the time from being Vitamin C deficient, joint pain and being prone to chronic illness & injury. It sucks. Basically, I've been a mess the last couple of weeks. ;-p Hopefully I've hit the bottom of the cycle & will start feeling better soon.

So there ya have it. 

sigh...
