Good Morning Kathy, I read about a tree that I had never heard of, didn't believe it to be true, so ran to google than knew I wanted to tell you about it, it is a Eucalyptus Rainbow tree! So cool!
Much Love to you and your family.

Have a great day, Kathy!

Gilmer

Thanks, you guys!

By the way, I did have a wonderful sleep.

Sorry for the morbidity last night.

Gilmer

I just went to the supermarket to get some items the delivery service missed.

I’ve been craving tomato soup and grilled cheese.

My friend makes great grilled cheese sandwiches: Cabot’s Seriously Sharp cheddar melted on sourdough bread.

So I went to the artisan bread section. I used a wax paper sheet to try to grab the loaf and put it in a bag.

I ended up dropping it on the floor—and on the way down it scraped my leg and drew blood!

I just picked it up and put it in the cart. I figured I owned it now!

No, I don’t care about potential germs. I’m a mom, and I abide by the “three second rule!”

I thought it was 5 seconds

And ouch.....hope you are OK honey.....no more injuries this week please.

Caramel

'twas mine, actually - glad it was so well-received

Have a good day, Gilmer, take gentle care.

Attacked by a loaf of bread...what next?!?

Now you started something, I have a bakery just up the street and now I am craving "good" bread so will get my walk in and burn enough calories to eat half the loaf with dinner.

I am glad you are feeling rested and happier today.

Badge, I love those trees!!!

We have grilled cheese on toast, over here, I think similar to a toasted sandwich, and it’s so much better when it’s on a thick sliced cob! Mmmmmmm.

I fancy some now, will have to go get cheese tomorrow! And a cob!

Have a good day Kathy,

Gilmer

I'm very sorry I stepped on your joke, Caramel! It scored very big with me, and you should get full credit where credit is due!

Badge, that rainbow tree is extremely cool!

I've got plans to go out with my daughter's mother-in-law tonight. Truth be told, I'm not feeling that well.

I'm going to finish watching Arsenic and Old Lace, and hopefully I'll perk up.

I got a filling replaced today. That's something.

venuscat

Hope you feel a bit better love or decide not to go. ♥♥

Gilmer

I did decide not to go. I just texted her.

I emailed my other friend and told her that tomorrow is probably a no-go, too.

I don't know what happened: something just snapped in my head last night and I turned dark. I've been fighting all day to be functional (mail out an Amazon book, go to grocery store, get filling replaced, watch movies), but I just feel very down. None of my usual diversion tactics is working.

Hevyn

You accomplished a lot today, Kathy. I'm glad you're not pushing yourself to go out when you're not feeling it.

venuscat

I think it's more than ok to have a 'dark' day love....your energy and faith have been endless....and will continue to be so.....but we are human.....so let your faith nourish you tonight and know that you are loved by God and all of us.

And I bet you will bounce back tomorrow....providing no more bread loaves attack you.....sheesh. ♥♥♥♥♥

I love that your dark days are so rare you feel you have to apologise for them Kathy

For all the banter, this is a hard journey - I'm privileged to share it with you like this

Gilmer

Thank you.

(((Kathy))) Prayers up to you. You did accomplish a lot today and it's ok to slow down. And like someone said, it's also ok to have a dark day or two, esp given the enormity of what you are going through. I'm sorry you're feeling poorly and I am praying for you.
Love and hugs to my beautiful friend. I hope you sleep well my darling one. Aly ♥

ah, Kathy...yeah, distractions and diversions, even of the productive kind, only ever "work" for so long. if they worked forever, there would be that "denial" thing to worry about.
i have no doubt you are doing what you need to do, but do know what i doubt or not matters not.
and now i am thinking of your minister...is he available and might he be a good person to connect with when things get dark?

Kathy

I think we all want to be there to shine light when you feel dark. Vent away.

As a lifelong sufferer of panic and depression, my first reaction is to freak when darkness falls. If there’s one thing recovery is teaching me it’s that I need to have faith in the ebb and flow of moods.

I hope tomorrow is better!

Gilmer

My pastor is very little comfort, Fini. He's a great guy and all, but he wouldn't be able to help me with this. He'd feel he'd have to talk at me, and I'd just rather be quiet and hope for it to pass.

Glee, you made me feel some hope when you said, "I need to have faith in the ebb and flow of moods."

I struggle with fear and faith but I always find comfort in the Bible.
