Afternoon... Hope everyone had a nice weekend. Still hot around here. But we are getting a little rain. And a better chance for more this week.
Hi Bronze, It's good to "see" you! It's a tough road. Some days I think I'm improving but I am dreading the following months ahead as Oct-Dec = our anniversary, his birthday, Thanksgiving, his death, my birthday, Christmas and NYE. I bumble along as best I can. Don't have any choice in the matter really. How's life been for you? I saw something about house repairs? Did you or any of the gang get clobbered by weather?
We’ve been missing you. Had a feeling your news wouldn’t be good. Yep, those important dates are tough. No getting around it. No sugar coating it. Best you can do is hang out with some friends. It’s pointless to be alone and miserable. It’s always better to be miserable with someone else. It makes you realize you’re not alone. That means something.
I’m so sorry for your loss. And congrats on your retirement. I’m sending you a big hug! So glad you dropped in here.
My hate-hate relationship with my old chainsaw continues. Had a tree to take down 15' away from my fire pit. It was dead. Didn't want it to come down on someone's head. Couldn't keep my saw running. Borrowed the neighbors and finished the job. Tore apart my saw yesterday. Highly suspected it was the ignition module so ordered one. Came today, installed it and the saw runs great again. I even got the kill switch to work. That hasn't worked in years.
Thanks Lori. It's hard, but all I can do is plod on. Oh...that picture of you hanging off ? the Space Needle ? still brings a smile to my face.I’m so sorry for your loss. And congrats on your retirement. I’m sending you a big hug! So glad you dropped in here.
Me too!Sorry to hear the first part. The retired part is good I hope... Very glad you stopped in....
I’m guessing hubby would be touched knowing you miss him. But I’m also guessing he’d want you to enjoy the rest of your life too.
You’re so right that we plod on because we must. Grief is its own thing with no rules, no timetables and no shortcuts. It rears up unexpectedly just when I think I’m doing so much better!
I don’t think of my progress as a linear road. More like the spiral of those big colorful lollipops. I might get discouraged thinking I’m back at the same point on the path as though there’s been no progress at all, or I’ve gone backward on a linear path. But on that spiraling path, I’m actually progressing closer and closer to the center. Getting to the heart of peace and truth and all good things.
Ah the space needle image! We’ve all had some fun ‘round here.
Yes, he said as much, But everything is still too raw. I started doing a clean up of his study today and I guess it's too soon because I'm now feeling like I lost him yesterday. Or another way to put it is when you've been lucky and blessed enough to have had the best, where does one go from there....
So what's everyone using/imbibing since the vapocalypse. I fell off the wagon and started smoking again (nearly managed to give that up and was down to 2 a day for a while) but am trying to climb back on again.
I’m not trying to be a wiseguy but Forrest Gump ran to the Pacific. When he got there, he ran back to the Atlantic. Then he turned around and did it again. I guess the point is the cure is time or as the saying goes, “time heals”. Or miles heals. Or experiences heals. Or tears heals. Or anger heals. Time, distance ,events, emotional journeys. It never completely cures. Never can. How much depends on how much you allow it to and what works best for you. You’ll know you’re getting there when you can see him smiling and laughing again. Then he’ll pay you a visit and say, “What took you so long”.
I vape Liu Tang (Blue raspberry, apple, and dragon fruit) and Morley Red (tobacco) from Red Star Vapor( 3mg each). Sometimes I weaken/mix with unflavored/no nicotine to save money.
I have a location quarter mile from home so works well for me. I don't know if they can ship with changes to laws so you'd have to see if any location near you.
I have nicotine in freezer if I need more nic content but haven't needed any yet. I get unflavored VG or PG from Nicotine Liquid - Vegetable Glycerin - Flavorings -Wholesale and DIY Heartlandvapes Wholesale but they are out of stock right now. Been awhile since i bought any from there.
