is really a pretty place, especially when I can get up in the "big" trees:) I am out using the internet at a Jack in the box. They know me so well, and tonight I ordered my typical Ice Mocha and the sweet manager rang it up as 1.08, which it is 2.08. I told her and she said that is your price, it is good to see you.

Just when you are feeling kind of down, you get something really kind sometimes;) I'm getting LOTs of free books through bookbub, if anyone likes to read. I get an email each day with freebies and cheapies;) I downloaded like 10 I had saved up on my phone. But I had to get my Nook online to pull them over;)

I miss living more normal, and I know just any day the call will come for my apartment. I am no longer at a mission, and found a room to share with another gal in a big house for clean and sober people. They don't require you to attend AA, or NA, just need to be a non-drinker etc. I don't tell it often but I was in AA for 15 years starting in 85. Then I decided I didn't need it any longer, partly I wanted to move away from my X and start over. So I am going to AA and am enjoying it. When I was camping, I started using alcohol as a "feel better" and it did make me think I could end up drinking too much so this is fine;)

California has been good to me. I was given my medical as well as foodstamps right away, and not to mention, the lovely apartment I know will be my forever home.

I haven't gotten out and really worked at my photography, but that is my dream as well. I think I can supplement my income, and who knows, maybe enough to earn my own way instead of government help. I have a long way to go to learn all those settings on the camera;)

I have been exercising (walking, hiking) and eating balanced again since leaving my sisters (not that it was her fault, lol, me eating all her baking) and I've gone from 140 down to 127;) I like how the clothes are fitting, yeehaw!

Anyway, I had a panoramic photo I shot up toward Willow Creek (gorgeous view) but haven't got the camera with me so can't show you guys right now.

Hugs to all, miss you lots, and thanks for the little notes in my rep thing, I think of you all often, and WILL see more of you soon;) Denise
 

Sounds like you're making the best of a bad situation Denise, I admire you for being so strong and upbeat during all you've had to deal with. Keeping my fingers cross that you'll get your apartment soon. Take care and be safe! :love_heart:
 

Thank you so much Denise for the update on how you are doing. My husband asked me about you the other day (I guess he really does listen when I talk :) which surprised me as he never uses the computer except to check the local fish plantings so all he knows about our forum here is what I tell him. I've showed him some of your beautiful photography too. I've never been to Eureka but my brother and his friend used to go up there for a couple months every year and go deep sea fishing for Halibut and Salmon. He said it's a beautiful area. I sure hope you get your apartment soon!
 
Good to hear from you Denise!! Sounds like you're doing well. Just need your very own place for you to feel at home and settled. Beautiful part of California! You must have lots of redwood around you?
