SO GOOD to hear from you Marcy @MarcyW882921  ๐Ÿ’ƒ๐Ÿ’ƒ๐Ÿ’ƒ

 

Girl, I was up ALL NIGHT and was "suppose" to get up at 7am, but kept RESETTING my 3 alarms [yes, 3/lol ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿคฃ]. One is a regular clock, plug in. One is my VERY OLD Android T-Mobile says I need to update ๐Ÿ™„. And 3rd is a FREE Android Virginia gave me. They really care about their OLD FOLKS, unlike Florida.

 

Anyway, FINALLY got up at 8am and of course SHOULD have left at 8:30am for 9am appointment. It was 8:45am!!!  ๐Ÿ˜ฑ

 

GRATEFUL, no accidents or gridlocks. Lol, but I am sure my Blood Pressure didnot appreciate the stress of running late.

 

I always WARN them about my NEEDLE "issues"...  ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ’™

Well, I HOPE to get some "rest" TONIGHT as I have a 9am appointment TOMORROW to get the 2nd Recommended COVID shot for AGE 65+ at CVS.

 

Lol, had my "meltdown" (HATE NEEDLES  ๐Ÿ˜ฑ๐Ÿ˜ฑ๐Ÿ˜ฑ) when I read the AARP Article about this NEW recommendation. Figured at age 66 this year, it will keep me well. GRATEFUL have never caught it!!!  ๐Ÿ’ƒ๐Ÿ’ƒ๐Ÿ’ƒ

 

My daughter has twice.  ๐Ÿ‘ต

May you continue to be well Nicole @SpringIsHereSoHappy . I am in the needle haters club too so I hope you get through your appointment this morning without much discomfort.

Walmart was "interesting"  ๐Ÿ™„  - spotted a couple I DIDNOT want too see and thankful they DIDNOT "look" my way!!!  Happy Dance  ๐Ÿ’ƒ๐Ÿ’ƒ๐Ÿ’ƒ

 

Female use to live where I do about 1 or 2 years ago. Very controlling and we parted ways when she moved out. Daily knock out fights with her Baby Daddy.

 

Another Happy Dance, I got my Weekly Video Call from my daughter today!!!  ๐Ÿ’ƒ๐Ÿ’ƒ๐Ÿ’ƒ

 

I think I MAY have won $100.00 on one of my two $1 Scratchoff Tickets today from Walmart. Will stop by their Customer Service Counter NEXT Tuesday when I return for weekly groceries. Not getting excited, but...  ๐Ÿ˜‰

 

Raining and will be until Friday.  ๐Ÿ˜ญ

 

GRATEFUL it was NOT for my Walmart Trip this morning.  ๐Ÿ‘

 

Everyone, FIND YOUR PEACE TODAY  ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ’™

Quiet day!

 

Weekly Walmart trip TOMORROW, gas Wednesday, then my 2nd Age 65+ Covid shot at 9am Thursday.

 

Figured I would do "shot" LAST just in case I have a "reaction" = stay home!

 

My daughter made it back from Atlanta YESTERDAY, tired today and not feeling well. Lol, did my 1st round of BEGGING for my Weekly Video Call = that was HER response.  ๐Ÿ™„

 

She KNOWS I will be "pestering" TOMORROW.  ๐Ÿ˜‰

Raining and not going to complain as my area needs the rain - brush fires!  ๐Ÿ˜ฑ

 

But GLAD, sunshine on Tuesday for my Weekly Walmart Grocery Run.  ๐Ÿ’ƒ๐Ÿ’ƒ๐Ÿ’ƒ

 

Daughter will be in Atlanta until this Sunday = end of NSBE travel, end of Conference there. Gosh, it has been like she married the Organization with the MESS of having to MOVE conference from Florida (where she lives) to Atlanta because of the Florida Governor.  ๐Ÿ™„

SO GOOD hearing from you Cadee @Cadee2719  ๐Ÿ’ƒ๐Ÿ’ƒ๐Ÿ’ƒ

 

Yes, she has visited and no we no longer go. My grandparents were the ONLY reason to visit and they have been gone for years. MISS THEM  ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ’™

 

Well MS. IDAHO, you did it!!!

 

Idaho is SAFE compared to CALIFORNIA.

 

As far as me RETURNING TO FLORIDA, still CRYING but realize that unless my daughter (only child) decides to RELOCATE that is where I will end up. LUV VIRGINIA SO MUCH...

 

Anyway Cadee, EXPECT an EXCITING life ahead and I wait with a SMILE to hear about it when you can.

 

Gosh, you made my day VERY SPECIAL!!!  ๐Ÿค—๐Ÿค—๐Ÿค—

[1] Lol, Girl, you know I OLD = what Happiness Link??? Hmmm, did you put the "link" in your post TODAY? I donot remember a PAST "link" and checked some of your OLD POSTS and not seeing this link. Where is it?  Thanks!  ๐Ÿ‘ต

 

[2] Not a pool person, prefer the ocean, but the one back in my homeland Jamaica, West Indies. Clean and white sand. Spent 16 glorious years there until I was shipped to St. Louis, Missouri for a better life in the country my dad was born in.  ๐Ÿ™„  He had died {car accident} when I was 12 {my 2 brothers were 2 and 5} while working for an American Company stationed on the island. We graduated from High School at that age and I guess family wanted to help my mom who had 3 of us. I was NOT HAPPY about leaving my island, maternal grandparents and friends behind.

 

[3] I AM SO HAPPY Cadee @Cadee2719 stops in to update us when she can.  ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ’™

Hey Nicole @SpringIsHereSoHappy , you could be in Florida. It was a little cooler here today, but the pool is open and people are in it!

I'm glad you had a positive WalMart trip and you were able to make a social connection. Check out the link I posted on happiness and I think you covered some items during your visit.๐Ÿ˜Š Marcy ***]

Nicole @SpringIsHereSoHappy ,

I did put the link in a post and I can't remember where it was. I did see it come up when I posted it and it's too bad because it was a good article.

Nicole @SpringIsHereSoHappy ,

In a discussion with a social worker, the topic of traumatic grief came up. I was horrified at the sound of the words. Coming from a family that had your "pull yourself up by your bootstraps" philosophy, the thought that someone would be so immobilized by grief was unheard of and unacceptable. 

Reading information from different sources helped me to learn about the subject and broaden my thought process. Here is one article that is pretty straightforward and my be helpful.
