🕯 A Place To Be With OTHERS Who Are Grieving! WE support each other.

📎 Group Discussion: 2025 will be here SOON!!! During 2024, WE have discussed CHANGES we made in OUR HOMES. Any "last" minute updates?

📎 I have RELOCATED Mister to another side of my Studio Apartment.

Lol, SMALLER accomodations but hey, I have NOT put him OUT. 🤣😂

This way I have RECLAIMED my space.

From May this year 2024 when I "inherited" him I have been CLIMBING over him while he eats/waters.

Stepped on his TAIL a few times and a LEG once. Needless to say he DEMANDED I LET HIM OUTSIDE IMMEDATELY while telling me off with tail swishing.

And NOT until I "begged" him to come back INSIDE, would he. Just GLARED at me.

My boy!!! 🤗🤗🤗

That’s how our little friends are! Totally in control of the food! Sadie has her spot in the kitchen and will bang her dish with her paw if she thinks it’s time to eat before I think it’s time! Usually she wins!! I’m a total push over!

📎 NOSEY NICOLE wants to know - How was your Ultrasound YESTERDAY Cadee @Cadee2719 ? 🤗🤗🤗

Happy Thanksgiving Nicole. They took ultrasounds on both wrists and I should get the results in five days. Funny how they are able to determine rheumatoid arthritis via your wrists. NO IT DID NOT SNOW!!!!⛄❄️ They keep threatening us with snow and not one snowflake. Guess I have to wait until Christmas. My son will be here for dinner. They put him on a stronger antibiotic and it seemed to help. I even baked pumpkin pies for the first time!!!! Glad that you are enjoying "your" cat. Isn't it nice being OWNED by a cat. 🤣 Take care.

Cadee @Cadee2719 ,

📎 Don't think I have lost it, but I believe even in death, people are still married.

Now it gets sticky when folks decide to get married a 2nd time. 🤔

Just my 1/2 cent. 🤗🤗🤗

I agree. I still wear my wedding ring and considered myself married. NO PLANS on marrying again. 😁

📎 GROUP DISCUSSION: Are you making MEMORIES? 🤔🤔🤔

As I sit here, suppose to be getting dressed to go to the DREADED Walmart - it suddenly occurred to me that 4 YEARS have passed since RETIRING.

Yes, EARLY retirement and thanks to COVID my "planned" return to "then" AFFORDABLE FLORIDA got cancelled.

Okay, I got that!!! Survived and so far have NOT caught COVID. 🙃🙃🙃

Then APRIL 11, 2024 rolls around and about 10am ET my only child, a daughter in FLORIDA, texts me that her and HUNDREDS just got LAID OFF.

No warning, just pack up, turn your equipment in (she was a Hybrid Engineer for Harris L3). Same company I worked for while pregnant with her. Lasted 9 years before my 2nd layoff left nowhere to transfer like lst one. Back then, you were GIVEN TIME to transfer.

TODAY - her severance pay and unemployment have RUN OUT.

So now while she does SEASONAL GIGS while Job Hunting for another Engineering job in FLORIDA (refuses to move back to Virginia where I am), her SAVINGS are dwindling. She has a mortgage and car payment. Mortgage Company has had her mortgaged PAUSED.

So either I BEGIN to figure out how I can RETURN to spending TIME in real life with her or risk the chance of dying before that happens. Yes, the tomorrow is not promised to us.

Yes, taking OUR LEMONS (her job loss, COVID) & making lemonade (memories). 🤗🤗🤗

They keep telling us the economy is GREAT, there are loads of jobs available. I pray each night that your daughter will find a job that she will love. I am glad that you stay in touch with her and support her as you do.

📎 NOSEY NICOLE wants to know - Marcy @MarcyW882921 , have you started on your menu for Thursday?

Has your guest count increased from 1?

YES, I need to move "closer" to you and the OTHER GOURMET COOK Cadee @Cadee2719 !!! Lol, I HATE to cook. 🤗🤗🤗

Community Champion ⭐⭐

Happy Thanksgiving Marcy.

📎 Hey Cadee @Cadee2719 , did the SNOW arrive? If YES, how was your 1st Snow Experience? 🤗🤗🤗

Community Champion ⭐

Not yet. It is suppose to rain in a few hours and they say it will turn into snow. Hope we are home by then. Yesterday would have been the 63 wedding anniversary for me and my husband.

📎 IF I "remember" correctly (NO Senior Moment 🙄), BOTH Jonibee @jonibee & Cadee @Cadee2719 have MEDICAL appointments TOMORROW.

Please UPDATE us after these appointments when you can/feel up to it. 🤗🤗🤗

Community Champion ⭐⭐

@jonibee and @Cadee2719

Thinking of both of you. Here's wishing that your medical appointments today are productive in meeting your needs.
