Good morning-- How are you doing?--- We have winter here AGAIN---- We did not have winter all winter, and now, almost Easter, winter has returned with a vengeance--I was out shovelling this morning--and it feels very cold---And--in case you have forgotten-----
Himself is at his DAY PROGRAM----Good Friday and Easter Monday, there will be no Day Program, so this week, it is important he gets there-- and will stay for lunch---
And---- this week, I must work on "Taxes"--Hopefully it won't take too long as both himself and I are not working--and what we used to claim, we cannot claim anymore--- but--gathering all the receipts etc is a timely thing--
Son#2 the Pilot has returned to his home--I am always happy- when the text comes thru, saying, "LANDED"----
I have to ask---are you finished with "The Fitness Protection Program"?----(just a friendly reminder-LOL)-----Did you get the ol' body moving?--- --- I have to admit that I am still in that "Fitness Protection thing", but, I WILL begin to exercise, because I know I should-- even 20 minutes to begin with , would help--I certainly do not want to grow "older than old"------
One more thing to do, but, I do know that once one begins to walk more--or lift a few weights, one usually feels a lot better--
AND----in case you all are wondering, "YES", the blubbering about my big Beau, is slowing down---I was looking at all the dogs we used to have, and somehow I have recovered over them---so, why losing Beau is so different?---
-- Perhaps because I am "sorta old" now---and taking care of another shepherd is not on my "sensible things to do " list--
Maybe one day, I can visit them all , if I go over to that Rainbow Bridge--AND NOT DODDLE TOO LONG IN THE PEOPLE PART OF HEAVEN.
-It's time to get out that Easter Bonnet, with all the frills upon it, ready for Easter Sunday---Remember sitting on that cold bench Eater Sunday, as a kid, with bare legs, and it was always freezing outside--?--
Easter Sunday will soon be here!Time to do some tidying up here--Everyday is a good day to have a good day--Be kind--- Be happy -Smile at some little elderly person, who is struggling to carry on, because maybe she has lost her pet also--
I shall see you all to-morrow---- Whatever is happening in your life, DO NOT CRY---LOL---- Because everything always turns out alright--We know that!--- Big Hugs--- 
Hi Lynda! Happy you are doing better. I see Sheppards around Ohio and think of you. I feel said like I knew Beau in person. I have followed you since Spark. Plus, I live close to your daughter. We are taking our nephew out today. My tinnitus has been acting up a few days. I am hoping it will take my mind off of it. Glad the pilot has landed home. Have a lovely Monday!
ReplyDeleteOur daughter lives in OHIO--Medina---I miss big Beau but--I guess it's life-- Hard day with Himself---Lynda
DeleteSorry you had a hard day with Himself. I so know you miss Beau. I miss my first yorkie so much and it’s been over a year and I have two. Hugs!
DeleteWell, dear sis, tears are necessary sometimes. They are cathartic. We just have to let them stop naturally and think of better things. That kinda sounds like what you are doing.
ReplyDeleteWe got a couple inches of snow yesterday and last evening, then it turned to rain. Now everything is melting. Who knows what will happen next.
I put my artificial lilacs on the display table outside my apartment. I'm ready. Actually, they are in a large vase: lilacs, next poinsettias, then green and white carnations for St Pat's. I can swivel the vase so the current holiday's flowers are in the front.
Have a brief errand to do today. Sadie is to help me get garbage and recyclables down. Then I will finally have everything done on the list I made 2 or 3 days ago.
Making homemade soup today. Yum. The prepping and cooking is worth it for the eating that comes next.
The day program is really important to Himself. I hope he will understand when Easter week comes why the day program isn't on. Will you be busy will family then? If so, it will make it easier for him.
I know you are always happy when your son has landed. You know he is safe and, maybe, getting a rest from work.
I don't worry when my daughter travels for work, but I am always happy to find she has returned home.
Time to get busy again, dear. Break is over.
Oh, I saved 2 memes today!
Be happy! {{{HUGS}}} Love, Maggie
Oh Maggie--- Himself very bossy to-day--not good!-- Lopez doing OK--- Son #2 (Matt)-is now in the Barbados-lucky him eh?--- It was not a good day with Himself--dunno why--He was just grouchy and very bossy--There are days eh, one just wants to run away---but--=probably tomorrow he will be OK---Good thing I can tell yu all this--LOLOL--Lynda --at least its not snowig--LOL
DeleteIt's Kathy. Yes, Bryan is a totally self-absorbed person who should never have become a dad. He believes he is the most important - even over the children. BUT, I have decided that I didn't choose him so it really shouldn't be my problem. Like you, I believe the crying is over and I'm ready to move forward. I did 11 minutes on the treadmill yesterday - will keep increasing that until I can get out for a 30 minute walk with my Daisy. She has been such an important part of my life and I know we only have a few years left - and I also know that it's probably not in the cards for me to have another dog. But I have to remember how many wonderful years she has been my best friend. We also have winter for the first time all winter! Must have gotten 8 inches overnight and it's still snowing. How I hate driving in the snow. My husband snow blowed the driveway for the first time all year! Have a good day!
ReplyDeleteKathy--You are a strong woman-- Daisy also--- just hope and pray that it works out with the 2 little boys and the (terrible)--- Dad--- I feel for your daughter--but--it will work out somehow---Hugs, Lynda
DeleteGood to see you, putting one foot in front of the other, while I scurry about in "getting ready" mode. I found the dog food that the breeder fed my soon-to-arrive Ember, at the Tractor Supply Company. Farm Supply stores seem to be geared for big ol' farm dogs... and horses... and acreage supplies.
ReplyDeleteI hope you have a good today, and that the blubbering over Beau ends up being just what LOAGrandma said, cathartic.
Take care, be kind to yourself, and remember to breathe.

hard to lose a good friend Barb---and horrible that it takes time to get over it-- I appreciate all your comments--They help-=Lynda
DeleteSo sorry about Beau, we lost a husband of a friend yesterday!! We're never prepared to say Goodbye!! Always find your posters uplifting!
ReplyDeleteSo hard to lose good friends isnt it?-- Glad yu find my silly posters interesting--Lynda
DeleteSeems like you are happy today! Good for you! Nice that Fred goes to the lodge and stays for lunch. It gives you some freedom! So sorry that you are still dealing with snow! We have high wind warnings out today and rain is supposed to be coming - so maybe I will get some things done in the house today. I have been so lazy the past couple of days....getting nothing done. No energy. I still do yoga 4 or 5 days a week, but then I sit too much with my computer in my lap. I am going to make a list of things to do right now so maybe I will accomplish some of them (because I do like it when I cross a task on my To Do List)!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your taxes! I got mine done last week! (and that wasn't even on a list! hahahaha!
Yes-Tax time and to-nite I didnt do them--- -- no energy--LOL-Why do we get that way?--LOL--Lynda-
DeleteI know . . . Mother Nature has her calendar topsy-turvy w/the weather.
ReplyDeleteI LOVED that line from the movie The Help. Beautiful.
Glad DH will stay for lunch @ the program. Good for both of you.
That’s good that Son #2 got home safely. That is wonderful that he texts you to let you know he landed. We ALL know how Mother’s worry, no matter what.
Due to my fall almost 2 weeks ago now, I was definitely on light fitness, but now . . . out of the fitness protection program and getting back to regular programming. Feels good.
Yes, we CAN do it.
Yes, all our beloved fur babies will be waiting there for us. It’ll be hard to figure out who to give attention to first!
Oh, it’s ok to cry, but have some happy thoughts, too! As said, crying is definitely cathartic!
hugs

Barb --What fall?--- Are yu OK? Lynda
DeleteHi Lynda: Can't believe you're still getting snow. Hopefully it's done here. We had it last Friday into Saturday morning and that's enough! Glad you're doing better about Beau. Just keep in mind he's not in pain at all now. That's no good that you will miss 2 day programs for himself' He won't be happy with that. Have a good night. Brenda
ReplyDeleteHi Brenda--- Himself did gedt gto the Lodge--but is crabby to-nite--Lordy Be eh?--Lynda
DeleteHi Lynda, happy your feeling better. Glad Fred's at Lodge and staying for lunch. I hope he doesn't get crabby about not being able to go Friday. One day at a time.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry you are still shoveling. Ugh ugh
We have rain and gusty winds in St.Louis.
I love the line from The Help.
Enjoy your day. I did a weights and toning class at gym this morning. I always feel better after accomplishing a class. Left to my own, I won't stick with exercise.
Will you get together with kids and grands for Easter? I know you'll both enjoy that.
Be well and safe.
Hugs and blessings
Marge in St.Louis
Hi Marge--- Nice to hear from yu-- Yes probably will get together with the kids for Easter--Lynda
