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
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,
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?
Pam
Comments
What a big decision but I understand the desire to be near family. It will be a lot of work but so worth it in the end, Pam. We were never sorry we moved to be near our daughter and the grandkids!
Living closer to Amber would be awesome. I wish you luck in selling your house so you can accomplish that.
