ISLES - So nice to see you back .. was about to send out a search party .. figured you must be under the snow there somewhere
So YAY for the loss .. that is a nice solid loss there hun .. but BOO about the Doctors ... bunch of vampires over your way huh? Keep positive though, you know you can do it
Love your collections ... Im with Ubee .. not that I am scared of clowns .. just wouldn't want a lot of them looking at me lol .. its funny how many people collect pins/badges though isn't it?
SUNNY - Another great loss this week .. you are keeping it so steady
Great job again
WANNA - Oh hun ... I am so sorry .. its ridiculously hard to understand how something like that can happen so quickly ... its like a part of you wishes he would have been able to fight longer just because you weren't ready for the world without him in it .. but then I am sure you also feel that he isn't in pain and is now at peace ... Im sure if you chat away to him he will be listening out .. its how we keep them going .. talking about them and to them
As for the diving into the cookies .. yep .. been there and done that .. but I fell into that hole for MONTHS before I got control again. I realised that I was using my loss as a reason to destroy whatever I had started to achieve .. then I thought .. wow .. how can I do that? Im sure that person wouldn't have wanted me to do that .. I was still alive .. and I had to be the best me I could be .. I could grieve sure .. but then I needed to be honest and true to the path I had chosen .. and killing myself slowly by building up the weight was not the path I had been on before the loss. It will hit you at the weirdest times .. right out of the blue ... but then so will the moments that give you that secret smile in memory. Hugs and love heading your way hun
LESLIE - Great recovery from last week there
I think you are doing great
Well today I am pooped! Got up early to get breakfast for my hunny before he went off to work .. and I got me a banana and a nut bar too .. so Im learning to nibble in the morning lol ... then I sat back for an hour or so to watch a little of the Winter Olympics ... and then at about 930 I decided it was time to get cleaning. We have a porch that has had stuff dumped in it for years .. its definition of getting tidied in the past was just getting another box to stuff things into and then stacking it up with the others lol .. so out I went this morning to finally clear it out .. I thought it would pretty much take me all day at least cos there was so much stuff! There is an old couch there which is going to be getting taken to the dump so I have now loaded it with all the crap to go too lol .. over loaded it really .. but after lots of lifting, moving, sweeping, sorting .. and definitely sweating .. its all sorted ready to load into the trailer to get rid of once and for all
After that I attacked the laundry which has had 5 years of crap tossed into the far corner ... lord knows why lol ... so I had to move the washing machine .. darn thing was heavier than I thought so back a little twinged now
But I have managed to get that room cleared out properly too .. and there is now boxes in front of the dump couch lol.
Still with a bit of energy and surprised at how much I had done . while the adrenalin was still there .. time to attack the kitchen ... getting all the dishes done, clearing the benches, checking the best before dates on some things .. whew ... happy me
So just taking a break now, trying to work out whether I should finish off clearing out the kitchen in preparation of the floors getting done next month or just leave it for another week ... or attack my zen room and clear out anything that I don't want or need to make room for the treadmill Im hoping to get this weekend
Also so I can put more shelves up lol.
So Im feeling quite good about today so far .. its funny how I do this really .. I will spend DAYS doing nothing around the house really other than cooking dinner and clearing that up... and then suddenly it hits me that I need activity and Im like a whirling dervish getting almost a whole house cleaned up in a day lol ... Oh .. also did 2 loads of washing too lol.
Right ... had a 30 min break .. time to get moving again or I might not start .. and I want to bake some cookies for my hunny
to all you losers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 
I do love your posts ... maybe its lost somewhere in cyberspace .. I reckon its like socks in the washing machine .. there is an alternative universe where the missing socks, underwear, posts, keys and time are and they are laughing their butts off at the havoc they are causing in our universe
