@melliotm
Hope you're well 🏕 friend ☺
@singercrystalspirit One step at a time 🐢⛺And welcome back! Is wonderful to have you here with us once again 😊❤️
@melliotm
That's what I like to hear: One step at a time. That's the way to the mountain top.
Thank you 😁💞
@singercrystalspirit
Hi singer... good to see you.
@KristenHR
Hey 😁
@melliotm
Thank you. You are always my life saver with the tag list!
@KristenHR Aw, my pleasure ❤️😊
⛺🐢
@KristenHR Braving the holiday masses to stock up on some food supplies before the weekend. Xmas shopping was otherwise completed online, because stress-addled crowds are not my thing lol. Wish me luck.
😬🙏🏾❤️
@melliotm
Hi Mellio,
I finished my shopping on line too! The crowds are not my scene either even without the Holiday traffic. I find that I have to bob and weave just to avoid the last minute shoppers whether they are driving their cars or a shopping cart.
Wishing you a safe, relatively crowd free outing. ☺️🍀🚙🛒
@Compassionatelistener108 Thank you, CL🛒🛍️ a relatively manageable excursion, considering the season -- 'gratitude' is definitely my word of the day (followed closely by 'relief'). ❤️⛺🐢
@Compassionatelistener108
Hi Compassionate... sounds like you made it successfully!
@melliotm with you mellio. Hugs.
@inventiveOrange1
Hugs 🤗
@inventiveOrange1 Big, big hugs, Orange and thanks ❤️ All my best to you. Fort O'Clock ⛺🍫
@inventiveOrange1
Hi Orange, good to see you!
@KristenHR and you Kristen. hugs
@melliotm
That sounds like a great idea - the online shopping! Now if you could get delivery for the food stock. lol
@KristenHR Now that is a service I would totally take advantage of. 😊🛒
Hi everyone,
Wow, have I missed you all. I thought I had a cold and reluctantly went to the doctor (stubborn, I know 😐). It was not a cold, but I am glad I went as I now have the correct medication for a touch of strep throat and bronchitis. Feeling much better already.
The Holidays can be a stressful time for some, myself included. Whether it is due to keeping oneself grounded in the present or trying to find the perfect gift.🎁
The moral of my story is dont forget to take care of yourself as well. I was busy and really didnt pay attention to the not so subtle hints my body was providing me to slow down 😧. I thought I would share as it is a good reminder for everyone.
I hope you all are doing well. I am back on track now with a healthier perspective.
Think of everyone ☃️
@Compassionatelistener108
Glad you went to the doctor and are on the mend. Thank you for the words of wisdom you've shared. They are so important.
@Compassionatelistener108 Glad to here that you're already starting to get back on track after struggling with a bout of illness. Here's to continuing down the road to recovery without any detours! 🤒😊⛺🍪💛
@melliotm
Thank you ☺️ Gratitude is the word of the day for me too.
ti is driving me nuts that my buddy is not getting back to me when ican see her tihs holiday season

Merry Christmas
So glad to be back and to see you all. Feels like I been gone for so long
@scarletPear1945 Merry Christmas! 🎅🏾🎄🎁
@melliotm
Same to you my dear
(Possible Trigger warning)
I hope nobody minds that I'm going to use this space to vent, hoping it doesn't burst anybody's festive bubble.
I'm tired... tired of worrying all the time, every day... Tired of missing her and feeling concerned that I might never see her again, and that it's all my fault.
My mum has left, and though I knew this would always happen, ever since I was a child, there's a void. I knew this because she would come and go all the time. And even when she was around, it was hard to look at her but at least I could see her, see that she was safe and okay and alive. Now I can't even do that anymore. I wait and wait for her to message, so I know she's okay, so I know she hasn't done the unthinkable.
I miss her, I miss the idea of her, I miss seeing her face and hearing her voice... I even miss her drunken messages late at night telling me she wants to die. Telling me nobody loves her and nobody would care if she were dead.
Mum if you could only read this and know... I miss you, please come home...
hello Kristen;
Just getting in from the ER, Husband has two clogged arteries on the right side of heart but they can not operate now. I am ok
@bubblegumPuppy68. Hey sweetie. How are ya? Thought about ya all day. (Weird a lil maybe) hows come you bubblegum again?
@PerfectStorm426
Accidentally went to my Listener account to see if the Therapist letter was the one posting for a chat. Was not her but I am not being a listener right now. Could not handle it so was adviced not to but I noticed it was a lot of notifications that was not under the other account so just tried to see
@PerfectStorm426
at the hospital early this morn. Husband may come home if they don't try to do the procedure. I have been at Urgent care the whole day but they did run test and do an ultrasound and gave me an injection. No blood clot. But the doctor wants the other doctor to see me this week
@scarletPear1945. Well at least things are moving forwards. Sounds like you and your hubby both caught things early enough that you guys can avert a major event. Keep on your toes and remain vigilant. Get stuff squared away and fixed up. I wish you both the best.
