Hi And This Is Why I'm Not Here So Much

Pookie

Crazy Cat Lady
Location
Western NC
Hi, y'all. I haven't forgotten any of you. I'm sorry I haven't been here as I used to, but stuff in my life has changed.

Mom-in-law isn't doing well, so I'm helping her more than ever. I still work full-time at Walmart, and hubby isn't doing too well either.

I have not forgotten all of you, I promise. Sometimes I don't have time to myself; I still have to clean, cook, and do all that which makes a home work well for us.

And sometimes I get tired and I hurt more these days, and I am sorry, I just go to bed, taking my pain med and listening to the radio.

I should have come to all of you earlier but I was swamped with everything, and I apologize.

Please bear with me. I love this place! I'm so glad to see all of you here! I promise I'll get in here when I can.

Bless you all...

Many purrs,

Joyce
 

I'm sorry Pookie, I have wondered what happened to you. I thought maybe someone offended you or something. It's 2 a.m. now and I see you posted at almost 1 a.m. so I wonder why we aren't asleep. I think a lot of us suffer from insomnia, at lest part of the time. I know about being busy and sometimes life just taking over our free time. My very best wishes and thoughts to you.
 
Hi Pookie..glad you could stop by. Sounds like you have a lot on your plate. Hope things get easier for you. Good to see you posting :)
 

Hello Pookie, You certainly have a lot to look after and I hope things get better
for you. Remember to look after yourself as best you can.
Thanks for checking in.
 
Nice to see you Pookie, I wondered where you had gone...and I can understand life's woes and everyday probs to come well before a forum and sometimes you just feel so leaden down with things you just don't feel like chatting to strangers, and being upbeat..., but it's great to see you're ok, and that you will pop in whenever you can... Hope Hubby, and M-I-L's ailments are at least manageable...and of course it's important that you take care of yourself as much as possible first ( it's not selfish, I promise) or the house of cards will tumble :)
 
Pookie I was wondering what happened to you. I'm so sorry things are so stressful for you at this time. May you overcome the pain and hopefully you can get some help with your mother in law.
 
Been missing you Pookie, sorry to hear about your hubby and mother in law. Hope things get better for all of you soon.

People come and go, but I just want to say that you have a lot on your plate Pookie. I am very proud of you being strong through all of it. I know you have your weak moments as we all do, but you are coming through the tunnel:) Part of the proof was you welcoming me back, and being happy for me. This means so much when someone is truly having hardships, but still, they care about the joy others are having. We all have those ups, and downs, but I know a day will come soon for you, when you'll be telling us about the miracle in your life too. The one that makes all the struggles worth it;) Love and hugs, denise:love_heart:
 
I was wondering where you were Pookie. Sorry to hear all the bad news. Take good care of yourself and give the furbabies a hug from me. Hope things look up for you soon. :love_heart:

Oh my! LOL! I've probably offended most of you in boozercruiser's Cheeky Banter Thread! Oh NO, no one ever, ever offended me! I'm a retired Army Captain. I don't think I can be offended, LOL! I've also been stuck on this 2pm-11pm shift at Walmart for weeks...and it's killing me. Thank you so much for understanding, honey, it means a lot to me, and please know I am never, ever, ever offended by anything here.

Thank you! I'll try to get in more often....I miss y'all sooooooo much!

Thanks for checking in.

Thank you so much! Things will get better, and I'm trying to look after myself as well. I should have said something much earlier, instead of making people worry. I am sorry; life got ahead of me.

Thank you! But please know, I feel as if all of you are friends...I really don't have any feelings of y'all being strangers. That's what I love about this place! I will be coming in to haunt and taunt you folks....I promise! And I am taking care of myself. I have to, know what I mean?

Sorry for all the troubles and stress you have Pookie. Hope it gets better soon!

It will, and thank you! It will all work out, I'm sure.

Pookie, no apology needed, good luck to you and your family in this new year...

Bless you and thank you! 2016 is full of opportunities, I think.

We have missed the "Crazy cat lady."

LOL! Thanks, Pappy. I'll be in as much as possible, paws crossed. LOL!

Sorry things are so challenging for you right now Pookie, hope they improve soon.

They will, hon. I'm working on some solutions and so far so good! Thank you!

Pookie, remember to take care of "you", too!

I am. I have to...if I fail, I'll have no one to blame but me. Thank you!

Pookie I was wondering what happened to you. I'm so sorry things are so stressful for you at this time. May you overcome the pain and hopefully you can get some help with your mother in law.

I will...I'm working on some solutions. I have a few things going, but I sure will let y'all know what I come up with and what works. Thank you!

Been missing you Pookie, sorry to hear about your hubby and mother in law. Hope things get better for all of you soon.

Thanks so much, SeaBreeze. Things will get better, I'm sure. Dang, I missed you all so much!

Pookie, I was wondering about you, too. I hope things improve for you. I sure understand that life gets positively overwhelming sometimes -- been there! Love to you.

Thank you! And love to you, too. It will get better, I know.

I was thrilled to see your posts, and I'm so happy for you, as everyone else here is too. I had actually gotten so mired up that when I saw your happy posts and that joy came flooding through me, I figured out I was human again. Thank you, Denise.

And THANK YOU ALL! I'm so glad no one had forgotten me or given up on me. I love this place so VERY much!

I have a question, and if you all think I'm too needy, just tell me.

If I run into issues, can I come here and ask for advice or would it be best to go to someone else?

I love you all, and I thank you all SOOOOOOOOO much for your kindness and understanding!

Bless all of you!

Purrs, Joyce
 
I do it Pookie, and I always get help. Just to know that someone is there is nice for me. I don't have a lot of close friends, that I can call or go see. Not nearby anyway. I mean in Eureka too before I moved to Crescent City. I feel I have a real chance to find folks that will "get" me here especially because of other seniors. This "senior" forum has really been not just a "backup" but it's saved me many times;) love and hugs, denise
 
Pookie! You're back! You're my favorite Crazy Cat Lady, and I missed you. Not to worry about not being here as often as you'd like. We're glad you found a few minutes to post. I'm thinking positive thoughts for you!

That's why it's so important to tell y'all how things are going. I may rant at times, but understanding and forgiveness, help, advice and love has always been my experience here...people understand what's happening.

I feel so stupid. Here's the best resource on the planet for our senior or just mature issues, and the whole time I've been battling out messes and dealing with stuff, I could have come here to explain and ask for help months ago.

I also feel REALLY bad....for I didn't really realize I'd be missed. I know what's it's like to miss a member. I do apologize. I'll be here more, I swear!!

Pookie! You're back! You're my favorite Crazy Cat Lady, and I missed you. Not to worry about not being here as often as you'd like. We're glad you found a few minutes to post. I'm thinking positive thoughts for you!

Gosh, thank you sooooo much! I swear I won't be away so much. I will try to be here every day, even if it's just to say, "Meow, I have an alligator around my neck and I forgot to drain the swamp."

I love you folks! Such sweet messages here....made me have happy tears! It's so good to feel appreciated when I feel I'm only useful and not appreciated.

You all are so precious, this place here is so awesome...please don't let anyone tell any of you any differently.

Many purrs and hugs,
Joyce (Pookie was a cuter name. LOL!!)

God bless you dear folks.

OF COURSE you can come here -- we'll try our best to help! We all need help or a shoulder to cry on sometimes!

DO take care of yourself, and not just everybody else.
 
Pookie, I am fairly new here but have some insight on what you are going through. I took care of my husband for 11 months with brain cancer, when he died less then two weeks later I fell and broke my left shoulder (I'm left handed). You are a strong woman Pookie, it's important to keep your strength up.

Thank you! I'm still struggling a little....but I'm getting there!

Oh gosh....you're a strong lady too! Bless your dear heart...I thank you so much!

I had some time to drop in, and all of you have raised a laugh or maybe a tear....I love you all! Y'all take care of yourselves, and look out after each other.

You all are so precious, and I thank you!
