My ex called me a week ago Friday and asked if I'd like to go have supper with him. I was skeptical, I was afraid he might be going to tell me something bad, like he was moving out of state, or he was going to start dating, but I accepted. I even called my middle girl,...

When I looked up there were huge orange flames coming from the roof, I beat on my neighbors patio door since he was in there calmly ...

I went from my parents home to making a home with my own family and now I'm out in the big world all by myself. I like my apartment and after living with my oldest dau... Wed, 16 Apr 2008 23:06:01 +0100 http://dailystrength.org/people/151588/journal/898120 Yes I am moved into my new apartment!!! I'm still getting used to the idea that this is really my place. My nine year old dog is my room-mate and it's very comforting to have him here with me. I've never lived in an apartment before and it feels a little like a hotel, same kind of noises... Fri, 14 Mar 2008 08:57:24 +0100 http://dailystrength.org/people/151588/journal/891691 Tomorrow is the big day...I meet the manager of the apartment complex at 11am and sign my lease and get the keys!!!!!I'm really excited my 3 girls will all be here helping and I can't believe it but the weather is suppose to be mild, sunny and 50 (which is a heat wave for us). For those who ... Tue, 11 Mar 2008 19:55:58 +0100 http://dailystrength.org/people/151588/journal/862213 I finally feel like things are starting to come together for me. I have a car now, (first time I ever had one in my name). I should find out about the apartment I'm trying to get today, I really hope it goes through. I am a bit anxious since I've never lived alone, thank goodness they are go... Fri, 29 Feb 2008 10:09:35 +0100 http://dailystrength.org/people/151588/journal/832239 I've made a decision, I'm going to quit screwing around and jump right in and join those support groups on here that I would benefit from. I guess I have so many health issues that I feel like if I say all the things that are wrong with me I will feel even more deformed, damaged, and isolate... Mon, 18 Feb 2008 12:54:21 +0100 http://dailystrength.org/people/151588/journal/807693 I spend hours on DS reading but can rarely get it together to write about myself. I just feel so overwhelmed by everything. I had a Dr's appt this past week at the U and of course the Doc I was suppose to see wasn't in and I had waited for this appt for 2 months, they didn't call and tel...

I should be thrilled (and I am glad), I finally got part of my back disability money today and can now afford to set up housekeeping on my own: something I have never done before! If you would have told me 10 years ago that this is where I'd be right now I know I w... Wed, 30 Jan 2008 01:08:30 +0100 http://dailystrength.org/people/151588/journal/773364 Some really great news: My Dad's bladder and prostate biopsies were both cancer free, the spot they were concerned about in the bladder came back as: an unremarkable fatty plague, (Dad said he had never been so happy about being unremarkable!) He doesn't have to go back to that Dr. for 3 mon... Sun, 27 Jan 2008 17:56:16 +0100 http://dailystrength.org/people/151588/journal/763893 I actually managed to put some photo's on my page, I'm always amazed when I actually do something like that without having to ask one of my kids for help, (heck sometimes even my grandkids are better with the computer then me).My Dad's biopsy surgery went well, they removed a dime size s... Thu, 24 Jan 2008 01:55:57 +0100 http://dailystrength.org/people/151588/journal/747618 I can't believe it's been over a month since I tried to write in my journal here. I spend a little time each day reading through the different communities and learning my way around this site but when it's time to sit and think about me I just can't seem to get my thoughts to focus. ... Fri, 18 Jan 2008 06:44:33 +0100 http://dailystrength.org/people/151588/journal/655696 I'm still finding my way around here but I feel good about joining this site. There is something comforting about reading other peoples trials & triumphs that give me a semse of not being so alone. Since I no longer work and don't get out much at all it's been really hard to connect ... Tue, 11 Dec 2007 14:33:46 +0100
