I have to say it, I have nothing to write about. Does this ever happen to you? Surely, there must be something interesting going on in life to write about..but..I can’t think of a thing. I have been reading some of the many blogs I follow, and wonder to myself..how do these peeps keep thinking of catchy things to write about? Any suggestions of things I can write about out there?
We are traveling tomorrow up north to visit with our son, wife and the sweet Grace Lily..so looking forward to that. She will be 3 months old on the 28th of this month, time is flying..
I am tired of summer..It’s hot and brown here in the desert. Do you desert dwellers EVER get used to it? I keep trying to see the beauty, but it escapes me completely. In my mind, anyway, I need to live in the green trees. One day.
I need to lose some serious weight. Soon. I joined the Weight Watchers online about a month or so ago and can’t seem to stay on track. I want those younger, healthy days back. I could move around better and lose weight when I tried..and sometimes when I didn’t really try. Seriously, between the fibro, the fatigue and the medications, I am worried that I am stuck at Huge-O forever. I want my old body back. Now.
Well, I have vented and don’t really feel any better..so will close and go finish my laundry and hide under the covers until this feeling passes. And it will..thanks for listening

I totally understand!!!!! I want my old, healthy days back to. Back when I could dance for 6 to 8 hours a day and love it without pain. I need to lose some serious weight too and I agree it is super hard with all the exhaustion and medications we all take. I hope after a nap you will feel much better!!

Oh I hear you on so many levels on this post! Yep...I done with this long hot summer...we still have lots of green but it's too dang hot to enjoy any of it...stuck inside with the ac on all day...yuck! I also hear you on the getting older and being stuck with excess weight...it's the one thing that really depresses me...espcially when I don't feel like I look and then I catch a peek at myself in the mirror and WOW...it's like...who the heck is that fat lady? I know it's not as bad as we make it sound...and my DH hates it when I talk like that...but it's so dang true!!! It's how I feel about myself and it's the one thing that I just can't get my head around...my dimpled skin is another issue...lol As far as writing...well...I keep notes on anything that interests me and never have a lack of things to post about...just lack of time...WHICH IS FLYING BY way too fast! Hang in there and enjoy that beautiful grandbaby. Fondly, Roberta
ReplyDeleteBarb,
ReplyDeleteI got your wonderful package today!!! #1 husband had some monir surgery today and when we came home around 1:00 there was my package on the front porch!!! You could not have made an aporn that I would have loved any more! I love the style, size is perfect BTW, and the extra little flap in the front is a nice touch. I plan on looking your apron over and try to make an apron just like it...that's how much I like it. You are a good seamstress too which makes me feel even worse for sending mine because my seams and hems are not as "finished"as yours!! I really liked all the cute tuck in's and the ice cube molds are so unique. My Grandchildren are going to love those. I may freeze grape juice in them just for fun.
I read your profile and had to do a double-take...the irony of BOTH of us having FIBRO is uncanny. I am a retired teacher as of Dec. 08 due in part to Fibro and needing to keep my youngest grandchild as well as helping out with my Grnadson James who is now 3 1/2 but was born premature with Cerebral Palsy. That stress has not been helpful on the fibro but I'm managing day by day. I've actually had fibro since 1986 when I had a bad bout of Mono. I haven't been the same since and truly believe the Epstein Barr is responsible for kick-starting the fibro. It has been so much better since I retired. I understand your frustrations completely. Doesn't the national Fibro Assoc. have a saying "But you don't Look Sick?" I have found that to be so true...how about you?? BTW, how do I post pictures of your apron and goodies on Hot Mama Apron Swap blog??
Thanks so very much!
Blessings

So you are saying that these are not the Golden Years?
ReplyDeleteIt does get hard to fine things to post about...sometimes I just post a cute email I get...or do what you did and tell it like it is...that is ok you know....I like reading what you have to say. Trish
ReplyDeleteOh, I left a long message this morning and lost it, so I came back to try again.
ReplyDeleteI too, can't think of anything to write about sometimes, but I think you have the right idea...just write what's on your mind. That's why most of us blog.
I know just what you mean about the weight. I don't deal with Fibro and meds, but do feel so disappointed in my self everyday that I just can't stick with it.
I have joined WW on line too, but always do better when I go to the meetings. I really need to do that again.
I hope you had a good trip north and go to love on sweet Gracie for awhile. There is nothing like grandkids to lift you up.
This is nothing like what I wrote this morning, but wanted you to know you can call me any time friend.
Let us know when you get back and we'll do something about getting together.
You are so beautiful! I love you for yourself! But I do understand the weight loss thing. It is good to stay at a healthy weight because it is easier on us as we age! But boy oh boy is it hard! I walk a few miles most days and when I don't I feel awful! I am tired of this hot weather! But I have lots of trees! You'd love it here!
ReplyDeleteUgh, I understand how you feel. My issue is a thyroid condition and as they tweak my mess the weight goes up and down. Now I feel better too!
ReplyDeleteOh I appreciate all your sweet comments..our trip up north was great, and we got lucky enough to have the kids and baby Grace visiting US this weekend, hence no post for Pink Saturday, again..Next week..
