Hi, All!
I am hanging in there, working through my current life as best I can, which isn't very well, really. I am trying to stay positive, but I have a cold so my week is going to be really rough.
Back on nights for this week and probably next week - probably for the whole of August into September. I am not happy about that but I realized that being in the office for last week was really horrible.
Calling in the reserves to get my house cleaned up, rearrnged, daughter organized to get off to school on the 28th. Oh, man that day will come too soon and not soon enough!
I have been eating less and drinking a lot more fluids to keep myself at a steady weight. Honestly, I don't know how you all do it who are losing pounds per month or even maintaining!
Hope you had a good weekend and have a good Monday!

It sounds like you're doing well. And keeping busy. My life has had much more business in it and it may have reflected in me not getting on my buddies' journals as often. I have more structure, which is good and I think in the long run it will just bring even more, perhaps into my writing too and I can see you have that structure in your life now that is keeping you so busy and that is so good sometimes. I have few friends, but have just gotten involved in two social-type groups the past few weeks and I know in the coming months it will help me develop probably more friends than I've had in the past fifteen years I've been back in New England, and you probably realize one can never have too many friends. Hope your cold gets better soon! Be well...

Give yourself a break Abba! You are doing well to and going through so much with all the change in your life. It's not easy to have so many changes and not have it affect us in some way. Your daughter will be off to school soon and your cold will be gone and then you can slowly start to get back to normal. Give yourself time. Be kind to yourself and know you are doing the best you can do. I hope you feel better soon and sorry about all those night shifts.

You can't do more than your best abba, I'm sure that's good enough. Given time things will fall naturally into place. You remind me that I have to schedule a thorough housecleaning myself. Have a great week buddy!

Abba, stop worrying, like Info said, you are doing your best. It will all fall into place. Can't rush the process. I don't lose lots of pounds per month either, but if I lose 1 pound, it is 1 pound less!! You have been so busy, I can't see how you find time to eat. Lots of soup for that cold. The homemade stuff, not the canned stuff (lots of sodium). Chicken soup is good for the cold and the soul.

Abba my friend ... our friends have already said it so well. So many changes all at once!! You absolutely can't do more than your best and that, whatever it is at any given moment, is definitely good enough. I go up and down and up and down and you only see one small part of me here ... trust me ... I most definitely have my moments!! Take good enough care of you my friend!!

None of us is nor can do things alone, Abba. That's the truth. It's when I get to the end of my rope and give up trying to mastermind my life, that my eyes are opened to new possibilities and I am guided to peace. You are taking care of your daughters and providing for them and yourself as best you can...know that you are not alone, and that God is with you in your corner every moment. His power is beyond this world. ((Hugs)) I am proud of you buddy.
