Thank you for the birthday wishes! It was a very good day.
BBG come back! Any kind of fool could see, we miss you and we just can’t live without you.
Hi Purp!
Pelagic! Been wondering about you. Thanks for checking in but hope you’re ok.
Thinking about you Bobbie ~ a lot going on there! A wedding, wake and funeral in three days is a lot on one plate. Sending good thoughts.

Sunday morning on the patio. Cup of coffee (organic Guatemalan). Yum. Three dogs at my feet, who are watching birds biding their time until the orange tom cat from next door arrives to chase. A daily game.
Today will be a busy day getting ready for surgery tomorrow. Gotta get everything ready here at home so I can rest this week. And a few last things to finish with my work so I can take my medical leave with a clean conscience.
As someone at work said Friday....I now have one job. He said it was to get well.
Inside my head a quiet voice said ~ No, it’s to survive. I feel a real battle coming our way.
On a positive note, my sister, my brother, my best friend and my aunt....who don’t talk to each other except maybe at holiday parties, all said the same thing...almost verbatim. It’s a little eerie.
“You’re going to be fine.” And when I ask how anybody can know that yet, they say “when I think about you, I just get this feeling like there is no other outcome. I get a sense of peace and I’m not even worried. It’s a happy feeling that tells me not to worry. That you’re going to be all right.”
So, I like to think it’s my mom or grandmas telling everyone not to worry. They are in heaven and it’s nice to feel them around me in spirit.
My mom would also tell me to put the damn computer down and get busy.
And so I shall.
Avagoodday everyone!

You are in my thoughts, Lill.
B- remember Dr HALTS with all the stuff in your life.
Where is our Sam?
Catchup paining today- mixing and painting oils from last weeks class session, where yours truly was left waay behind- as my thinking stuff is slow.
Beats drinking.

Good luck Lillian.
Watching my beloved Red Sox right now - hoping for a win and the Championship. The Red Sox, and baseball, are my real connection to the past. I grew up listening to Red Sox on the radio while sitting on my Grandfather's knee. I'd have my glove - he'd be smoking his pipe. Great memories.
Hoping everyone is having a good weekend. Mostly good here - some of the usual stupid thoughts, but I'll be okay

Also, Lillian, thanks so much for the thoughts on your mom and grandmas. I’m sure they are with you now.
I spent a lot of time with my grandparents on my mothers side when I was young. I was wondering what my grandfather would tell me regarding my current challenges. He would tell me that I can be bigger than them. He might even tell me that I can do hard things.
Those are great thoughts for me. Thanks for leading me there.

Yep.....my grandma would say the same thing.....gosh, she did say that to me all of my life. She did hard things....but she didn't do them with any grace....she was a bully until she was in her 80s....we got mellow Bess for a while and boy was she fabulous.
We can do hard things and today all of my love is going to Lillian.
Thinking of you honey and praying for a good outcome.
And I bet you were happy with your Red Sox MITA.
Love to everyone.....still holding you close Bobbie girl....thinking of your family.

4 hours painting, 1 hour drawing, 1 hour sculpture, cleaned the car, scrubbed the floors, shopping, started ball rolling for hand surgery, washing, gardening.

all day I have been feeling 'meh'. So I kept doing stuff- just to shut my brain up. Depression hovering, know the symptoms.
Ah me- naught to do but keep on.
Support to y'all.
