HOW ARE YOU GUYS DOING?  🤔

Cadee @Cadee2719 , I HOPE you are making time to relax in between your days/nights of unpacking. I am still in AWE that you made it to IDAHO!!!  💃💃💃

I am looking forward to hearing about your NEW LIFE - one full of friendly neighbors, FUN activities and being SAFE...  👍👍👍

Marcy @MarcyW882921 , YOU GO GIRL/Ms. Chorus. Lol, I am living through you = you are MOVING FORWARD and exploring NEW things. I totally ADMIRE this!!!  🙃

MC @mc6844 and Jonibee @jonibee thank you SO MUCH for stopping by when you can. YOUR SUPPORT keeps me going and getting UPDATES on your lives brings a HUGE SMILE to my old face.  🙃

Let me see - this month we have Mother's Day, Memorial Day and in my area [Cave Spring, Virginia] - the LAST day of school.

Any plans for the upcoming holidays and summer?

Lol, me - for summer, a VERY HIGH electric bill and my air conditioner on BLAST. Hey, summer does NOT help my hot flashes.  😭😭😭

Made my next month Summer Oil Change appointment & Check my 2006 Hyundai Elantra Over. I take her in for her Oil Changes every summer [June] and winter [December]. State Inspection is December.

Everyone, FIND YOUR PEACE TODAY.

HOW ARE YOU?  🤔

Well, an up all night - lol, so grateful I get to stay home = no need to be driving with no sleep.

Won $1 on one of my $1 Scratch Off Tickets and $3 on the other one. Yes, my $2 splurge every Tuesday when I head to Walmart for groceries.

I had NOT seen my friend (Walmart employee) for the LAST two visits. But learning to APPRECIATE the "random" things in my life. Well TODAY she was behind me and we hugged. A dear lady who is a Cancer Survivor. IF I had not decided to CHANGE to the OTHER Self-Checkout, I probably would NOT have ran into her.

Lol, was in one of my moods YESTERDAY [TUESDAY] MORNING and didnot want to deal with the staff at my usual Self-Checkout location.

My daughter in Florida finally finished working on her resume. Yes, after 5 years, her resume needed updating. Now to hope she finds something soon before her 5 weeks Layoff Severance runs out.

Everyone, FIND YOUR PEACE TODAY...

Nicole  🤗🤗🤗

Nicole @SpringIsHereSoHappy , It sounds like you had a pretty good day. A little profit on the lottery tickets, a chance meeting with your friendly Walmart employee, and a hug! 

I did a Zumba class online and took a very good line dancing class through AARP. It's hard not to be happy when you are dancing!

A cancelled class for this evening allows me to have dinner with a friend so all is well.

Marcy

[SpringIsHereSoHappy]

Hmmm, Marcy @MarcyW882921 , I think that cancellation was mean't to happen so you could meet with your friend. And Line Dancing - YOU GO GIRL!!!

SO GOOD to hear from you TODAY MC @mc6844  🤗

[mc6844]

Thank you Nicole. Good to hear from you too, and also to read everyone's shares. I was trying to start a new topic. What Not To Do When Grieving. I found a good article but can't find it again. I've done a lot of what Not to do when grieving. Lol Does everyone have suggestions of what not to do?  Thank you.

[MarcyW882921]

Don't be silent. Express your feelings and needs to people who are in your safe circle.

Marcy

[mc6844]

I have one suggestion. Don't ignore that you're in grief.

HOW ARE YOU?  🤔

Slept well and still worrying about my daughter being laid off. Fingers crossed she finds something soon.

Everyone, FIND YOUR PEACE TODAY  🤗

[mc6844]

I'm glad you slept well. It's definitely a challenge not to worry. I don't have any suggestions. Lol.

Hi MC @mc6844 , I don't know IF you have kids [I seem to remember you had mentioned grandkids, excuse my Senior Moment  🙄] - but NO matter how OLD they are [my daughter is 37] - we moms do worry. I am sure as an Engineer she will find something soon! 🤗

[mc6844]

Of course she will, a smart girl like her Mom!

Oh NO MC @mc6844 !!!  😱😱😱

I hope you feel better soon  🤗

[mc6844]

Thank you Nicole. Ok now. So many harsh chemicals in everyday products. Gotta give it more thought I guess.

MC @mc6844 , did you change detergents?  🤔

[mc6844]

Yes. Lol that's one change I can make. Doc says buy only for sensitive skin. Soap and detergents etc.

[mc6844]

Hi Nicole! And all on the site. You've been in my thoughts and good wishes.

I've been recovering from a reaction to laundry detergent. Ugh! I think we get tired when we're already going through things. And need to take better care of ourselves. I hope you are all well and doing what you can each day. Have a blessed day!

[MarcyW882921]

So sorry mc @mc6844 that you are dealing with this reaction. I hope you find some products that your body doesn't reject. At least you have found the culprit and we are fortunate that they make so many kinds of products these days to choose from.

HOW ARE YOU?  🤔

Everyone, find your peace today  💙🤗

[jonibee]

Today here in MA  it's a good day to get outside and start to look for signs of Spring..Forsythia is in full bloom so are the Daffodils and Azaleas..Get some yard work done if you're up to it or just sit with a cup of tea and enjoy the sounds and surroundings...I am making a mental list of things I hope to start like planting flowers in my planters and perhaps spray painting a worn out plastic chair in a cheerful color...Hope your day has possibilities..

[mc6844]

Sounds good to me! Thank you.

HOW ARE YOU?  🤔

Today I have to go by my NEW Eye to pick up the paperwork I will need to fill out for my 8am appointment tomorrow. Yes, 8am and they want you there 15 minutes EARLY.  😱😱😱

I had gotten an automated phone call day before yesterday to go to their website to register. NO spot to register. Just a list of stuff to printout and fill in. NO printer and had planned on going to Library, but not in the mood to deal with their printer.  🙄🙄🙄

So called and asked IF I could pick them up. Some places mail stuff or allow you to complete online. Not them. What a pain!

HOPE I sleep tonight. Lol, don't need to arrive looking like I have a hangover or do drugs (donot drink or do drugs).

Rainy, yucky day today and tomorrow.

Everyone, FIND YOUR PEACE  💙💙💙

[MarcyW882921]

Oh boy Nicole @SpringIsHereSoHappy , this sounds like a couple of frustrating days for you. I hope you get your paperwork done and all goes well with your appointment!

Marcy

[mc6844]

I hope it went well too, Nicole. I agree about all the forms and printouts these days.

[MarcyW882921]

You still have time Nicole @SpringIsHereSoHappy and I am confident you will get the job done!

HOW ARE YOU?  🤔

41 degrees here in Cave Springs, Virginia.

HAPPY DANCE, my neighbor from h.ll just left for work. 💃💃💃  What a weekend with them.

Everyone, FIND YOUR PEACE TODAY  🤗🤗🤗

[MarcyW882921]

I'm surprised Nicole @SpringIsHereSoHappy that you extended your lease into 2025 with that kind of neighbor! I can only hope the next year goes by quickly for you!

Lol Marcy @MarcyW882921 , it was NOT planned!!!

NEW owners took us OFF the month-to-month lease and I had to sign a NEW year's lease STARTING this month.

So my PLAN of "taking my time" to move back to Florida 100% WHEN I found something there got CHANGED.

Realistically, as I AGE, I need to make sure my NEXT move is NOT A REPEAT of this h.ll. Since moving in here in 2018 and still working and car newer - it was okay.

Now that it has been SOLD, new owners are moving in the ghetto. Not safe anymore. And my DAY TRIPS are on hold since the other Old Lady [the car] has grown older like me/lol.

But that is life - UNEXPECTED CHANGES...  👵
