Aaaand I'm back. Couple hours of company is all I can do energy wise these days! I've learned to pack a great time into a small time frame, before the pain meds wear off.
Happy Birthday Sean.
Happy Vapeversary Roonies.
Thanks kgj! Knew I was forgetting something earlier; hape vapeversary from me, too, Roonies!
I look younger than I am, I think. LOL. I'm typically one of the younger people around though. My boyfriend is a few years older than me, and most of the people at work that I get along with are older. I dont' really associate well with people my age. They are all still in the "lets go to the bar phase" I'm in the, I'd rather stay at home with a glass of wine and vape phase. I'm only 30, but feel old. Old soul.
Enjoy your day
I'm the same way, Mia. Mom says I was born at age 35, lol. She claims she knew she'd be in trouble when she came in to check on me at one in the morning when I was about 2 1/2 and found me wide awake, contemplating the ceiling...
Her: "What's wrong?"
Me: "Nothing... I'm just thinking."
Her: "Oh? About what?"
Me: "Just.... life. Life is complicated."
The funny thing is, I remember that night, and I *was* thinking about life. More specifically, it had just hit me that I was mortal, and that I had this huge (hopefully) long *life* ahead of me and at some point I'd have to figure out what to *do* with it.... and that was okay, but I'd only get *one shot* at this "life" thing, and what if I screwed it up? And that was the point where mom walked in.
One of the first things people tend to tell me when they get to know me is how good I am with young kids... part of that is no doubt due to co-parenting my sister for so many years (I now have 22 years of practice and counting at parenting a 7 year old), but I think a lot of it is because I remember that particular moment. That memory and others keep me from talking down to kids... there's usually some pretty sophisticated thoughts going on in there, they just haven't learned how to articulate them yet.
Happy B Day Sean
Thanks, Butch!
Happy Birthday Seanchai, hope you have a great day!
Thanks, Dusty! Hope the pain eases up for you soon.
happy Birthday Seanchai.....hope you have a great day !!!!!!
Thanks, Joie!
Wow, my sister was also born 5 months premature, back in 1957 they didn't expect her to live, she was also born at home and had to be taken to the hospital to be put in an incubator and she was in there for I believe a month or two, don't remember exactly. But she has had so many health problems and at times when I have mine, like I do now, I think about what she has had to endure and honestly, I don't know how I would have handled that. She is totally blind in one eye and can only see maybe 20 % out of the other, she stated playing guitar when I did but couldn't handle the pain from the strings so my grandmother and grandfather got her a Drum Set, she turned out to be one hell of a drummer and played quite a few places after she had moved to New Mexico, but about 15 or so years ago developed tunnel carpal, then fibermyalgia. She has had many other issues which I won't go into but damn, I have a healthy respect for her and you for coping with these issues.
Well, once again, have a great birthday!
Thanks, Dusty. Your sister sounds very much like a friend of mine. Born around the same time and with the same issues and love of music. She's actually the sister of one of my best friends, and both of them are huge Beatles fans, which is how I met them. Best wishes to your sister... every day is another day, and all we can do is keep on hanging on.
Got some good news today, speaking of... for the first time since August, my oxygen saturation levels are finally hovering near normal. Wasn't sure if I'd ever get them back up there after my whole dramatic near death experience blah blah a few months back (especially since I've had several of those now, most of them before I ever started smoking - the damage is becoming exponentially cumulative at this point, so I wouldn't have been *surprised* if I never got normal O2 sat back) but today's the day, apparently. I'm pleased; yay for vaping! Now, to get down to 0 nic within a year. I'm not going to rush anything, but that's my new goal, anyway... to vape for the pleasure of vaping. We'll see how it goes.
And if I missed thanking anyone for their good wishes, please consider yourselves thanked.
I'm feeling the love.
