I have met so many wonderful people since I moved here--People I have never known will come up to me and say, "Moving back to Elliot is such a smart move on your part"----and, "Your husband saved my life three times"---and, "I am so proud of you to move back here !"--Most of these people , I do not know, but they do seem so happy that I returned here--
BUT----Here I am--- with Son#3's --2 dogs--and my bad dog-"-3 dogs-"-- which makes my body really think my mind has lost it!-----
Son#3 will return to-nite--(I hope)---
Since I firmly believe that I never will ever, get to a store again----I ordered new stretchy pants from Amazon, and they were delivered yesterday so , that made me feel better -( God bless Amazon who sent these lovely new stretch pants right to the front door--)
This AM I had to be at the clinic Lab--Blood Work--for my thyroid which has been out of whack since Fred died-I stopped to fill up the car with gas before heading home here--I have "HOPE"--- Son#3's dogs will return to their home to-day--Life should return to a sorta normal soon--
So, I hope that you all never ever give up--
Life does return to normal eventually, and the strength in me might one day, return----I know--An idea here----I shall send you all a big hug--It might help to keep you feeling strong! --You think??
Your morning posts are such a welcome sight! I hope two months from now your place is truly yours.
ReplyDeleteOh wow!! These posts re a welcome sight--That makes me feel better!-- LOL--Hugs to yu-Lynda
DeleteGood morning, Lynda! You will be settled soon. I think having the dogs threw a wrench it for a bit but much better tomorrow. People love that you moved back and it was the best thing for your happy soul. Very nice weather in Ohio. I can’t wait for you to come one day. Please bring the stretchy pants for our ice cream party! LOL Big hugs!
ReplyDeleteLOLOL--My big purchase from Amazon-- stretchy leggings--LOL--K--Ib shall bring them--LOL--I'm thinking next Spring I shall fly from Toronto--to Medina--Lynda
DeleteThat will be lovely! Can’t wait!!
DeleteThank you for the hug and a bigger one back to you. I love your daily updates.
ReplyDeleteIt must feel good to have people you don't know and Fred's patients welcome you back. Fred was a celebrity in EL.
You'll get settled. The dogs have things discombobulated for a bit. You absolutely wanted a dishwasher so it has to sit where it will fit.
MAYBE......you will move again. A rental cottage with main floor BRs, a garage and a bit bigger than this place. Who knows? I would look later..can't hurt. And the more moves, the less you'll take lol. You can't stuff the big lake house into a tiny rental.
Have a great day. Good luck with test results.
Stay positive and strong.
Hows that widows group going? Found others yet? And a grief support group...grief shared is grief lessened, I've read.
Enjoy your day.
Marge/St.Louis
Well Marge--A Lady from the Grief Centre just called me-booked an appointment--ifnally eh??--Lynda
DeleteIt's Kathy. Thanks for the hug - one can never have too many hugs in a day! I absolutely believe that you did what was right for you and one day you will feel settled. I don't remember exactly when you moved back (some days I can't remember what I did the day before) but it seems like it's only been a month. I haven't had a big move, but I have been dealing with pain and surgeries for 3 years now and my home has suffered so much. I see all the things I need to take care of but can only do one or two at a time - so I have written a lot down and one day I'll be able to start crossing things off. One good thing about today - it's going to rain all day so I don't have to go outside and work in the yard!!! I'm going to celebrate the rain!!! And you will likely miss Son #3's dogs but I'm sure life will calm down. Oh, and don't you just LOVE Amazon! I just ordered 2 new T-shirts and a new pair of Summer PJ's - didn't even have to leave the house! Take care and have a good day.
ReplyDeleteKathy--Bless yu!!--Yes I did not have to go to a store--Bless Amazon eh?---same day shipping sounds good to me! --- So, I know I shall miss Phil's 2 dogs--They are good pooches--but--this place REALLY IS a tiny house (when yu have to put the portable dishwasher in the front hall, it says something I guess!)--LOLOL---Anyway--It seems good enough for me so---I shall carry on--LOLOL--So good of yu to write--Lynda
DeleteLynda, please PLEASE don't go moving again. You evidently moved there for a reason, singled it out, chose it, and so you just have to get rid of what doesn't fit there. You really don't need much. I tossed everything out that I don't need or use. You are only one person, surely it isn't too small for just one person. I have just 1000 sq feet here, on one level, two bedrooms to either side, each with its own full bathroom, and a great room with a kitchen/eating area at the end, and it is PLENTY for me and my medium sized dog. Out front is a small semi enclosed patio, and an attached one car garage in a 200 unit condo community.
ReplyDeleteDON'T say yes to anymore dogs, and just KEEP LIFE SIMPLE.
I'm a bit worried about you, that you seem a little scrambled. Perhaps a trip to the neurologist might be in order? I'm not there, so I don't know what is going on, but it all seems rather more complicated than it all needs to be.
You've already bought blinds, a fence for your yard, a washer and dryer, and a dishwasher, and you are just FINE. Don't do anymore work around there than you need to. Have someone in to hang pictures, etc., if you can't hang them, or have your children do that. They live near, correct? Or if they don't get hung, who cares?
I care about you, or I would not say this. :)

ReplyDeleteHi Lynda: Thanks for the big hug. Hope you feel more settled soon. Glad someone called from the grief center. It was nice seeing people who are welcoming you back to EL. Have a good night. Hugs Brenda
My dear, you've been through losing Fred and 2 moves in a VERY short span of time. Frankly, I think you are doing GREAT dealing w/it all. Give yourself grace. You are strong and you'll get things the way you want them . . . just allow yourself time.

Good afternoon, sis.
ReplyDeleteI, too, just got back from my blood dray, too. My GI doc was who wanted it, but I hope thyroid will be there, too. I am so cold all the time when others aren't. That's one sign of low thyroid!
Honey, you are blessed to have a dishwasher of whatever kind! All I have is a sink, hands and Dawn dish soap!
Yes, that big hug helps me feel strong...and capable.
You will get things sorted out sooner or later. And then what will you do?
I am happy people like that you've returned.
I had to drive in torrential rain on the way to the veteran hospital. Feel like I went through a war. Lunch for me and Lucky now...then I'm gonna take a nap.
Be back later to check. {{{HUGS}}} Love, Maggie
