LOL. Yes, yes I am! N00b and proud!

 

[princesss]

I love sailing. I wish I knew how, lol. No money and no time = no sailing.


This is proving to be one of the worst weeks ever. I really really can''t handle it. I''m on the verge of tears at work, and I can put on my fakey customer service happy face, but anytime I talk to anybody I can actually open up to, I''m dead meat. I''m actually skipping Weight Watchers today (which I *never* do) because I just can''t handle it. And WW means I have to stay until 5:30 instead of 5, and I can''t handle that, either. And I can''t really talk about it on here, so I''ve got nowhere to get what I''m thinking out of my head. This sucks.

Thanks! I do sometimes, like if I havent eaten or something. Its fine when we are sailing, but like if we anchor and are laying around sometimes it hits me. But patches/pills do the trick.

Hahaha. Slacker!

I just flat out haven''t had time. I think it may be a few weeks before I have the time and patience to really do a solid photoshoot with the ring.

I know, I know... BAD PSer!

 

[stepcutgirl]

I''m sorry you''re having a bad week P. I hope you are able to find a way to talk about it here or with someone you trust.

Elle-what style dress are you thinking of?

I''m sorry you''re having that kind of week

Very, very sick family member. Waiting for test results. Feeling super guilty because I want to have happy memories to cling to and write to her about, but...I''ve got nothing. I want to *do* something, and all I could do was send a letter prattling on about nothing important, because I honestly have no real happy memories with her, so there''s nothing to say, "Hey, remember when..." about. So then I get an e-mail from my mother telling me (basically) that I *have* to, and I just...can''t.

 

[Bia]

Elle, because Im lazy (to find your old thread) and impatient (need to know NOW!), I''ll post this here:

How many mg/iu of vitamin D are you taking? I think I am going to give it a try.

I can''t be exactly sure of what the situation is, or what your mother is asking you to do, but I will say this:

You do what you can sweetie. You can''t, IMO, fabricate a relationship that never was just because this person is sick. But you can tell them how you''re feeling about their condition, that you''re sad, that you wish it could be different, that you hope for more time so you can rebuild (or build on). There are ways to be honest, and still compassionate. A dying person (not sure if this person is terminal) doesn''t necessarily want to be pacified. In fact, they will appreciate honesty.

sluggish. some of the same you had described previously. FI bought me 1000 IU but he said there was also VitD in our multis. I have been taking one (1000 iu) a day...do you think that''s enough? have you noticed a real difference?

Yes, I actually have. I''m sleeping *tons* better, so less sluggish I''m still not 100% energy-tastic, but it''s been a big difference.

The most notable difference has been my mood. I get very moody and can get depressed, but my mood has improved significantly since I started. ALmost no mood swings.

Honestly... if you''re concerned about your sluggishness, I''d get a blood workup. Then you''ll know exactly where you''re at, and the doc can give you a prescription strength amount of Vit D if you do have a deficiency.

I think I will. I''ve been wanting to exercise in the mornings, but I just don''t have the energy to do it, it''s frustrating.

Thanks. I think there are some ways to say some of the stuff I''m feeling. It''ll take some work, I think, because my first instinct was that really...I''ve got nothing worth saying. I can''t fabricate a relationship or happy memories. I do love her, but because of the situation, I never *knew* her. I haven''t heard happy stories from my parents. Or good ones, really, even. (It''s my grandmother, btw.)

Of course, all of this comes on the heels of BF and I going up to his hometown this coming weekend for 4 days to help his grandmother move into assisted living. BF has said if I want to drive down to see my grandmother instead, he''ll totally understand. It''s a 10 hour drive that I''m not exactly thrilled at the thought of, but I''d do. I wrote my parents and said I''d do it if they thought she''d like it. At least I already had time off scheduled so that I could even make the offer.

 

[jcarlylew]

princess - *big hug*

 

[princesss]

Thanks. Looks like I''m not going down to visit her this weekend. That just means it''s a shorter drive for me and I''ll be helping BF''s grandmother instead of mine. Does this stuff always come in waves? I feel like the last year and a half has been bad news bears for grandparents.

 

[jcarlylew]

it does - growing old sucks!
