Things about moving that I am looking forward to

Being able to see my son and his family regularly

Having my own room again

Two bathrooms

A working dishwasher

Washer and dryer in the house- no more carrying baskets of laundry across an apartment complex

Being able to use my b-b-q again. Mine is in the backyard and we arent allowed to b-b-q in our yards anymore- We have to bring the b-b-q out into the courtyard and b-b-q there. Mine is too big to move thru the apartment easily- we have to move furniture to get it in and out

I've been to your blog several times since you changed the format. I can find where to post a response on it anywhere. I am reading, I just cant write there

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas Everyone! I am actually doing ok this Christmas which is kinda surprising considering that it is still the time of year that I lost my life partner and I am off meds right now. I was taking Saphris and before that Cymbalta and I gained 40 pounds over the summer so I am off meds for a while , hoping that I can lose some weight. That hasnt happened yet but I haven't gained anymore so that is good.

I am moving to Nevada in a couple months probably. My son is hoping for February. If not February then March probably. He has gotten approved to buy a house and is working on the paperwork now. That means that I will have the mobile home and we will all be moving to a totally different place. I am hoping that this move will prove to be a good thing for us all and I am looking forward to being able to see my son and his family regularly instead of just once or twice a year.

I hope that you are all well and happy and that you have great holidays. I will try to be more conscientous ( dont know how to spell that) about writing next year.

I'm back

Hi , I'm back. After my Mom died I just didn't have anything to say that I felt I could post. I have basically been very quiet for quite a while now. However I checked my blog tracker the other day and I have dropped from nearly 300 visitors a month to 26 and I figure those 26 are my good friends and they care enough to keep checking back so I should post and let em know I am still here and I care.

I will most likely be moving to Nevada sometime after the New Year. Can't say if it will be a month or a year before I go. My son is working on buying a house and when he succeeds he is giving me his mobile home. I will only have to pay $300 a month space rent so that will give me a little more financial room every month. I am not really doing well financially right now. Everything just keeps getting more expensive and my income is less than it was not more

My daughter is pregnant and they will be delivering the baby by c-section on the 5th or 7th of November. Its a boy.

Well its not alot but its an update and a start to "speaking" again. I hope you are all well and happy.

Friday we disconnected the life support. Sunday my Mother died. On my birthday.

here is what is happening

My mom had a major stroke followed by a minor heart attack. She hasn't opened her eyes or spoken or shown any sign of awareness in a week. Her heart is failing. She has major damage due to the stroke. She never wanted to be on machines but my stepdad didn't know that so he let them put in a respirator only knowing he didn't want his wife to die. She wasn't breathing on her own, the machine was breathing for her. Yesterday we removed the respirator. We prepared ourselves, armed ourselves with kleenex and shed no few tears as they removed the machine. Then......my Mom was breathing on her own, just laying there and snoring. I talked to the nurse and she said she has seen people go in 5 minutes or 5 days when taken off a respirator, so the worst is still to come......It was a very emotional day.

My Mama is dying!!!!!
