How are you today?

[Jules]

Had a good sleep. It makes such a difference.

 

[Pepper]

Having a hard time. My new normal. I hate it, but the hating must somehow turn to acceptance. I am so sad. I can't imagine having the strength to do my work.

 

[IrishEyes]

Bright and sunny day, lots happening later today and tomorrow, probably be passed
out come Sunday. Rodeo tonight, Ren Fest tomorrow, most excitement I have seen
in months. Plan on laughing, ooo'ing and awww'ing a lot.

Crappy. I came across a post from my son's girlfriend from last March showing what I assume is her left hand with a diamond ring. The comments didn't reveal anything specific, but I assume they are engaged.

I was going to emoji this but there is nothing that can show what I feel for you right now. Big ol virtual HUG and an arm around your shoulder
from me here.

Thanks, @IrishEyes. This girl tends to post a LOT on social media, which I almost never use, and none of the comments said "Congratulaions"—but then, I'm out of touch with how younger generations communicate these days. I won't ask my daughters because I have vowed not to put them in the middle. And I think the rest of the family would be reluctant to even discuss it.

If it is true it's a devastating blow to be left out. A happy thing for him, of course. I should try to focus on that.

My last DIL is like that, I had to wait until she posted to everyone, engagement, wedding, no one was invited but she had photos of the ceremony with the minister and his wife (as witness), and then the announcement of the baby coming. It hurts I know. My son did sneak in
a call when he found out about the baby and swore me to never tell her he told. Like you, I don't want to get in the middle and be a reason
for a complete split from me. He seems happy, adores his little girl and that is what being a Mom of sons is about. I got silly excuses why
she feels she can't let immediate family know 1st. So... so be it. Just have to be happy with what we do get and go on. He and I were always so close it just shocked me he had to be pulled that way. I will have you in my thoughts and pray something mutual can come out this relationship.
Just feel my hug when you need one as, these emoji's don't cut it for some things.

 

[RadishRose]

Feeling achy today, hungry but not hungry. Grocery delivery today; looking forward to a nice salad later,

Thank you again, @IrishEyes. I'm sending you an extra hug; I agree that these emojis just don't cut it sometimes!

I talked to my father a few minutes ago, and he said he and his wife had heard nothing of an engagement, so maybe I jumped to an incorrect conclusion. It seems odd to me that she would post such a photo.

I have no control over the situation, which I freely admit makes me crazy. I need to accept things as they are.

I'm sorry your DIL is so uncommunicative—her behavior sounds odd—but happy for you that you still have a relationship with your son. I hope you have been able to see your granddaughter—?.

 

[Lewkat]

Feeling poorly from my flu shot yesterday.
Also had the pneumonia vaccine.

Yes I have a great relationship with her, we use video chat and are doing one of those add to the story games. Once I turned loose of the hurt it all got better on my end. I just watched how great my son was doing and kept positive thoughts that DIL would finally mature one day. Son has said that is happening finally. So I have hopes now.

 

[Ruthanne]

Could be better. I slept too much and now feel useless.

I've done that, too, @Ruthanne!

Nothing exciting happening today apart from hubby watching the football grand final between Brisbane QLD and Melbourne Victoria .
Had a really nice meal out for our 38 th wedding anniversary , it was so filling I only ate half of mine …it was delicious
Tomorrow we are going to a Sunday afternoon dance that’s only held Once a month and we don’t usually attended as it’s a long drive out north of Adelaide , and I hate going out when its freezing cold .even for a afternoon dance ~ so with spring in the air it’s warmer so venturing out a bit more

Did a bit of shopping today in preparation to go away over christmas for 4 weeks , where we are going it’s very humid at that time of the year , so I got a nice white loose fitting cotton sorta cheese cloth top, I can wear with 3/4 pants or a skirt and bought 2 loose fitting cotton dresses of course we will have air conditioning in the apartment
where we will be staying right near a huge lake

My DH worked in the area not far from here ( Newcastle ) when he was in his teens …and has not been back for many years

[Georgiagranny]

Getting better but still not quite ready to lick my weight in wildcats!

 

[Georgiagranny]

Okay. Mums finally potted and the last $10.10 on the Kaiser healthy food card spent. I'm gonna rest for a minute before vacuuming up kitty litter.

 

[Georgiagranny]

Litter vacuumed. Do I get a prize?

With cooler weather on the way (soon, I hope!), I've been jonesing for soups and breads and stuff and remembered a specialty bread that I used to make using dry onion soup mix. No kidding. I found the recipe and posted it on the recipe sub-thread in Food & Drinks. It mixes up in a blender, doesn't have to be kneaded, rises and bakes in a 2 1/2 - 3 qt casserole dish, (or maybe a small Dutch oven).

Go look. Try it. You won't be sorry.

There's never been any left over, but if there ever is, I bet it would make a spectacular Reuben or pastrami sandwich.

You're welcome

 

[Georgiagranny]

Hiya, Invisipeeps! It's early, but I'mthisclosetobeingmyself again, I think.

It's gonna be another nice day, just a tad warmer than I'd like it to be. After all, it's Drop, right? Drop. When the leaves drop off the trees. Still no rain in sight >le sigh<

And in other good news, I woke up believing that yes, it's Sunday . Yesterday was really strange because DD and I both felt like it was Sunday.

After all my interest in recipes and food yesterday, I felt like baking something without expending too much effort so made a cherry dump cake. Geez. It's already gone! Still jonesing for the onion soup bread...

 

[Georgiagranny]

I'm doing better than yesterday, I think...but then I've done nothing this morning except get dressed and drink some coffee. LOL

DD and DGD went for a walk around the subdivision this morning. I'd have gone along if not for having to walk up some steep grades. That's what tires me even when I'm feeling 100% so best to wait to join them when I'm all better.

Dang! It's been almost three weeks since I first got sick. I don't do "sick" very well at all

I just came back from the doctor. The good news was that my bone scan and PSA were normal. The bad? news is I have to lose a little weight and give up some of my snacks, plus exercise a little more.

 

[Lewkat]

Just had my PT so feeling rather perky. Of course I am still very angry with my Mets, but I am not alone there.
