As long as we’re dreaming, an old green one for me, although I’d be MORE than happy with an emerald one! Ah well, if wishes were horses…:P

*** Come visit me on deviantArt at http://ela-hara.deviantart.comI *am* trying to face this with a more ‘up-beat’ attitude.. just every now and then the stress wins out and I feel like crud…
-Thank you everyone for your support! Sometimes I just need someone to help hold me up while I gather my own strength, and you guys help with that so much! <3
Im glad your holding up, and trying to get in control again. And thats the way to be, as up-beat and positive as possible…. I always found laughter and smiles to help the most 😀 Take one step at a time, hopefully things will start to slide off that plate of yours, or be eaten, lol !
You know, just venting seems to help, as talking about it seems to help organize things more in our head, and helps us see the bigger picture and how to work things out. When I get really stressed about certain things, things that keep my mind reeling and keeps me awake at night, I write in a journal. Since I cant sleep at the time anyways, I sit up in bed and grab my journal and write down all my thoughts and feelings, and things I wish I could say and/or do to make people understand what they are doing to me. It helps.. a LOT ! Even though I dont get to say these things to the person involved, just writing it all down makes me feel better. Its as if, since its down on paper now, that I dont have to keep replaying things over and over in my head. Its like they have left my head to now live on paper, lol ! Its hard to explain, but once I have released all my feelings onto paper, I feel a lot better and can then sleep. Sure things arent fixed, but it helps ME cope !
So in a way, venting and talking about things on here is similar, and helps one to release troublesome thoughts!
I’m really stressed. My SO has ulcerative colitis and is on a new drug that has really been helping. But it’s an immunosupressive and now he has a skin infection It’s not getting worse, and he doesn’t have a temp, but after a shot of antibiotics and three days of pills, it’s still painful and very visible. It’s maybe gotten a little better, but it’s not very obviously healing yet. And even with probiotics, the antibiotics are making his colitis flare back up which is very stressful and painful for him. I’m hoping the antibiotics kick the infection out soon, so he can take his next dose of the colitis medicine in 12 days (He has 7 more days of antibiotics). If he has to delay that treatment cos he has an active infection it’s more likely that he’ll develop an antibody to it, and he won’t be able to take it anymore. The whole thing is stressing me out – I just want him to be healthy and pain free. Or even just pain-reduced!
On top of that, one of my closest friend had to put her dog down today when she found out he has cancer in several organs. She struggles with psychological issues, and her dog is her world. She’s said several time that he “keeps her alive.” I’m very worried that this will push her over the edge into an even worse depression. I am staying in touch with her and communicating, but she’s in Europe so I can’t just pop over and spend time with her in person.
My medical issues are insignificant and pretty easily controlled with meds, but I am so so so stressed out by my loved ones being in pain. I help, but I can’t fix any of their issues. I just wish I could do more and make them better.

Indeed, Significant Other like Ferlin said. We’ve been together so long that boyfriend always sounds weird to me. So, I just call him SO.

DRAGONS: Male CoyoteAfter a few months worth of tests I got the answer of complex hyperplasia with focal atypia today. More than a touch terrifying, I go to see the Oncologist at the end of the month to figure out what manner of hysterectomy I’ll be having. After loosing my Mother in Law and then my Mom to cancer over the last four years the word Oncologist scares the crap out of me.
My God! I wish you the best and great fortitude with what you’re going through. I’ll keep you in my thoughts. Please don’t hesitate to communicate.

While I have enough hobbies at home that I don’t get bored much, I’ve been kinda lonely and wishing I was better at making friends. Seems like each of the few I had either moved away or just kinda faded away, not wanting to get together anymore, always being too “busy,” leading me to give up. I’m not ALONE, since I have my husband. But it’d be nice to have another friend or 2, maybe someone that shares the interests of mine that my husband doesn’t, or just someone I can laugh and have fun with. When I remember fun times I had with friends in the past (I never had a lot but at least had a couple good ones), I realize how little fun and laughing like that I experience nowadays. It’s kinda sad.
There’s a girl I work with that I’m thinking about trying to become more than work-friends with but am not really sure how to go about it. I’ll probably ask if she wants to come over and watch Lord of the Rings with me sometime since I know we both like that (we both like a number of nerdy and geeky thinks actually). But I can’t help worrying it won’t go well or that she’ll feel obligated to be nice but won’t really want to hang out. She’s also super busy between work and going to vet tech school and trying to spend time with her husband I’m sure. But I guess one of these days I just need to get up the guts to ask. She may be leaving when she finishes vet school, as she’s talked about trying for an internship in Hawaii.
Part of me doesn’t want to try to make friends anymore since I become disappointed when friendships don’t last. But I don’t want to always be friend-less. It kinda sucks!
No one wants to be alone or friendless! We are meant to be social. I found I was isolating myself when I dated my ex and lost a lot of friends that ended up getting married and moving away and I didn’t try and keep in touch with them when I should have. I have most of them on facebook but didn’t talk to anyone for a long time which got lonely. When I broke up with my now ex, I realized I didn’t have anyone to hang out with. We even tried to be friends because we realized that but it was hard. It wasn’t until I got away from that, I started putting myself out there and attending ballroom and latin dances where I met people as well as choir, church groups, hiking groups, meetup groups, etc. The more people I met, the easier it was to talk to other girls and start suggesting things to do for fun. I made friends with some girls and we now do board game and movie nights, pot lucks, go rollerskating, hiking, dancing, rafting and play sports in bigger groups. I would suggest looking up meetup.com for your area or trying groups like I mentioned where other people want to meet you! If you do talk to someone you want to get to know more like you mentioned above, then definitely suggest events or things you can go to together. You don’t have to make friends with people for life but sometimes just in the short term it’s nice to know others with similar interests who could use a friend too.
THIS!…what I have to say is pretty contradictory but…learn to love it! 😛 Kim, I was in a similar boat to you. My ex was so possessive and jealous he wouldn’t let me go out with my friends. I did have male and female friends but the male friends I had long before I met him. So-it’s like, if I was interested, I’d have dated them. *We’re just friends*. When we broke up after 4 years, I was so lonely, I’d call/text anyone in town I knew to hang out so I could stay distracted. That was 3 years ago.
Now I’m in the same boat as phantomess. I was in school and working full time for the last 18 months and had *NO* life. My days started at 5:30AM and ended at 10PM. I usually didn’t want to go out and be social after a long day at work and then night school-so I was always turning down invitations-even when they were few and far between. Now I’m so terribly lonely. I do have some friends, but two of them live an hour away, one of those hour-friends has a family and a job, and a friend that lives near by has a family and job. He does make time for me but I need maybe 2 other chicks I can text and be like “HEY lets go do something crazy!” once in a while. Kim, I wish you lived in Houston 😛 I’d be trying to tag along with you. I can easily talk to people, but I must be a dude trapped in a chick’s body because I find it more difficult to strike up a conversation with a girl than a guy. There’s a lady I work with who is 13 years older than me. She’s cool and we’re similar enough but at the end of the day, she’s my co-worker and I’ve known her 3 months. There’s still a part of me that’s worried she may hear/see something about me off the clock she doesn’t like and go to our boss. I don’t have any social hobbies (besides Windstones and newly picking up collecting Grand Champion horses), I don’t go to a gym, I’m not religious to care to go to church, I don’t play Halo/Call of Duty/popular video games on relevant game systems. I don’t know where I can go to try and meet people. But really, the last few days, it’s weighed heavily on my mind and heart. I need some chick friends at a similar mind set/life stage as me. That’s my whine 🙁
After a few months worth of tests I got the answer of complex hyperplasia with focal atypia today. More than a touch terrifying, I go to see the Oncologist at the end of the month to figure out what manner of hysterectomy I’ll be having. After loosing my Mother in Law and then my Mom to cancer over the last four years the word Oncologist scares the crap out of me.
I’m so sorry to hear this 🙁 I work at an out patient cancer center, so if you want someone to talk to, I’m always glad to lend an ear and share what I do know
I want someone to buy me a peacock SK, please????
LOL all this serious talk and you come in here wishing for SK 😛 <3 Okay so, Mr/Ms. Billionaire reading this post, I'd like a Blue Morpho one please 😉
Thank you all. 🙂 It’s been a busy couple of weeks but I wanted to stop back to thank you for the well wishes. It looks like it’s going to be a total hysterectomy, ovaries and all with no hormone therapy if I can manage the surgical menopause. *Fingers crossed* Just so glad to have a course of action. And I’ll take a Peacock Poad if someone is buying! (I lack space for a SK! Wow are they impressively big. :P)
My mom fell and broke her right ankle last week while she was away from home at a conference. She had wonderful caregivers who looked after her until yesterday when they came home. I made sure to be at her house when they got there so I could help get her in the house. Thank goodness for my sister in law. She isn’t working so she and my nieces came over to stay with my mom while she recovers (at least until the school year starts).
My mom and Gavin were supposed to go on a week long trip to New York at the end of the month. It’s been canceled now. I haven’t had the heart to tell him yet.
I need to call my ex husband and tell him I want to get Gavin back Friday (I expect he wants to bring him back from visiting on Sunday) as I need time to get Gavin ready for camp that starts Monday. He was supposed to go to camp earlier this month and my ex refused to bring him back because “it takes away from my time”. We managed to change which week of camp Gavin was going to so we aren’t out the registration fees.
And now I have to tell Gavin one of the goldfish died. It had been doing poorly since Gavin left for his dad’s. I’m not sure which fish it was. One we got while Gavin was in first grade (he just finished fourth), the other we got this fall.
