I was playing the pin cushion, again today……Pfizer Bivalent Booster - Deltoid.

On February 3rd…..got a Tentinis, Whooping Cough, Diptheria, told me to get this vaccine on my way out.
Surprise…..surprise……didn’t know I was going to get a needle.

On the sad note……NO suckers for either.

O M Gosh, I Found MY GLASSES!!!!!

They were in the front yard, laying on the bark mulch around some bushes. Been outside for two months; not damaged, no scratches on the lenses--a true Miracle! Thank you Jesus!

We all said they would turn up, maybe the wind blew away leaves covering them. I still think I need to get some of those eye glass chains. I have learned to check the top of my head before I freak LOL!

Are you like me, I like to be prepared for a shot or a blood draw. At least I don't pass out anymore.
 
Reading these posts. I feel truly bad for @Blessed and @Supernatural for their permanent losses with their loved ones.
However, saying you lost a loved one last year when theirs was a marriage break up because one or both cheated on the spouse certainly doesn't equate with "losing someone and mourning".
Not even close. I know, as I never said I lost my husband. I kicked the buzzard out.:)

Can someone explain this? What am I missing?

IMO…..Thornbirds and Titanic are the two best love stories ever produced.
My heart pounds with Richard Chamberlain in Thornbirds.

That is a good one. Someone mentioned it a while ago. I checked to see if it was on any of my streaming services, no luck. I am sure they have it at the library but I have not been there lately.

@Right Now Nope. Doesn't "equate." It's worse. When a partner dies, it's final. When a partner leaves, they're still out there, and your aloneness is a reminder that they left you deliberately. Yes, you mourn when you're left behind by their choice.

Thank you for your response.
But a marriage can be worked on, or not. When there is a break up, many folks get the opportunity to be happy again. I would never say I mourned for them. I guess I'm not a "oh, poor me" kinda person.....
I am stronger than that.
But again, I am not speaking of deaths in the family. I mourn the loss for years like the rest. This is a natural and unavoidable emotion.

Both are a horrible loss but if your loved one is still alive, hope is alive. There is always a chance that they will realize what they have done and want to return. Then the hard part starts, do you want them back, can you accept that it could happen again, can you return to your marriage as if nothing happened? So, in a way it is just as bad, at least I don't have to think about the what if this or that.

Tis true, if a loved one is still alive then you have hope if you want it for them to return... ...when a loved one dies, it's heartbreaking, but you evntually come to accept it's final, and you will never see them again. With a break-up.. which comes completely out of the blue, you get to have a broken heart which never ends while seeing them, living another life with someone else...

I was being honest, I don't wallow.

Wait just a darned minute. DS died 19 years ago. DH died 14 years ago. I still grieve, but I've gotten used to the fact that they are both dead. I didn't know it was called wallowing.

ExDH and I are still friends and have been. He is very ill. It hurts my heart.

Okay, done wallowing. I shall erase memories forthwith.

ETA: BTW, ExDH left me. I grieved. He was out there with his long-legged, nubile young maiden and a heckuva large income, while I was struggling with two jobs and three kids under the age of 12.
 
I've had a busy, busy day....and it's not over yet! 🏃

Right after breakfast, I went outside. I looked for eggs (there weren't any....dang slackers!!!), then I checked fences, and
walked around the goatless field 6 times.

When I got back Dio said that he needed to run errands in town....so off we went!

It was such a beautiful day, that we took a break from our errands and went for a walk at the park. We went around twice (1 mile each lap), and we saw some daffodils blooming!!!! 💐. We stopped at the pond, and saw a lot of duck-butts!!! LOL. Chelveston and her buddies were having a great time splashing around and playing in the water!!! 😂

We finished our errands, came home, and ate dinner.

It's sunny and around 70°F/21°C. I'm actually wearing shorts!!! As soon as I finish exercising and doing my PT I'm heading out to continue enjoying this beautiful day!! Probably walk some more, then drag branches. Tomorrow, it will all be a memory....cold, rainy, etc. 😢

Time to head out.....
 
We all have suffered a loss, a heartbreaking loss. Our feelings are who we are, how we feel, not to be compared to anyone else. There is no need to hurt one another. We are all dealing with it the best way we can. Does not change anything, some are stronger than others, some collapse under the weight of it, some can carry on. I just hate the whole thing, however the heartbreak comes it is specific to each one of us, how we try to go on with our lives.
