Cards, Skinny and Evie

 Morning!

I have rec'd several

cards while dealing with STONER.

On Wednesday I got two sweet

cards.

One from Pam, a classmate.

You have met Pam's cats 

cause Pam plays on a 

traveling ball team and 

I go and feed her babes 

when she does.

Remember, Annie, 

Mister and Runner, those

are Pam's babes. 

The card I got from

Pam was actually, 

signed (haha) by

Annie, Mister and Runner and 

they said they missed me.

The second card was from

Tammy. Tammy is the asst. 

Director to the 

Dept. of General Services, 

Printing and Photo Services, but

she is also a sweet friend.

I met Tammy many years ago

when I was an account clerk 

for printing, she became my 

boss, but not only a boss, a 

friend. 

When I left photo services for

the TBI, she told me that of 

all the folks that leave, I was 

the hardest and she would really

miss me. 

In her card she said that she 

was only a few mins from me

and I better yell if she 

could do anything, plus,

she missed my big smile.

How touching my friends 

are!

I wanted to lose a tad bit

of weight. For those of you 

that have followed me for 

a bit know that in 2017 I had

gastric bypass surgery, I went 

from 210 to 137. 

Once I introduced eating again,

I gradually went up some.

I went as far as 157 where I 

spent a yr bouncing from 

157 to 154, and back.

When mom past I started to drop

some. However, you know

when working with weight

you get to a point where you stop

and sit there. 

My stopping point was 146...

from time to time

it would go up some, 

but I could not get it down.

Not that I wanted STONER

in my life to help

with my weight but, 

all of a sudden from

May till now, I am down

from 146 to 134. 

Not the way I wanted to do it

but it is nice when your

daughter looks at 

you and says, "you

are too skinny:!!!

From this

to this

Course the above pic

is horrible with dark

circles under my

dark circles!

I made mention to my daughter that

another ten would be awesome,

and I got a NO! 

Ten more would put me close

to the 118 I was when 

I graduated.

A couple of years ago

I realized, when the mower

through me to the ground, that

this place, my childhood home

was way too much for me.

But I planned some

remodeling in my head

that I thought would help

with the stairs to the 

laundry and other areas.

But, through the STONER year

I realized more. Not having 

a certain someone in my life

to help, to lean on and 

to just have, has been ROUGH.

Made me open my eyes.

I have decided that I will

do a few things here, things

that needed doing before 

I moved here, and then I am

putting my childhood home

up for sale and moving

an hour and 15 mins down the

road to be closer to Amber.

Not a move I wanted to make, 

my life has always been here,

but, there will be nothing stopping

me from making trips here to 

see friends. 

Amber was a basket case through

STONER and I needed 

her, cause I will not allow 

others to help. 

Plus, I can help her 

with the boys so she 

don't have to take time off from

work. So....I gotta get well, and 

start working on things.

In 2020 I was not ready to let

go of this home. 

neither was my younger

brother. Now, I think it will be 

easier. Yes, memories are here, but

those memories are also in 

my heart so I will be 

taking them with me.

With moving I will be able

to spend more time 

with Felicity and 

this silly girl, Everleigh,

 

 

C

 Amber called me Facetime 

last night to talk with 

Evie. It is like 

talking to a mini 

adult. I loved it.

Do you ever facetime with

someone?
