Most of the holidays have been ok,I did celebrate some with folks before the weekend started.Then it started raining and is either raining or misting heavy wich has made the last two days bleary,cold and drab ...not what I expected for a Christmas weekend.All this crapy weather has kicked in a major arthritis issue that im barely keeping in check,this hot spot in my back has effected my left hip and leg but I have managed to get things done anyway....its just the way its goes.I hope the next week is better than this one has been so new years will at least be a dry weekend.

I always have a sad twinge this time of year. My maternal grandfather passed on Christmas Day and, though I didn't know him well enough to grieve his loss, it hurt me to see my mom grieve for him. Now that mom's gone, it's like a double dose of sadness. Even though she didn't pass on this day, I remember them both. Some years it hurts more than others. :rrose:

Not a thing in this world.

Each year during the holidays I see how much my brother-in-law has declined due to Alzheimer's. Also, how stressed my sister is in her caretaking of him. They actually have it much better than so many other couples/families dealing with this disease because they do have good pensions and healthcare and adult children ready to help out, yet, it is very difficult. Families without resources dealing with this long-term illness and it's consequences go through more hell. My sister goes to a support group and although she gets a lot from sharing this experience with others dealing with a loved one with Alzheimers, she gets really upset with what so many others do without because of their lack of support and resources. These groups do engage in pooling resources and lending a hand, but fergoddessakes, these folks are going through such an emotional roller coaster. The whole damn thing is just plain sad.

Letting go :-(

Having to make the decision to let my BearBear pass on to the other side.
He was always healthy, never sick a day in his short life, then on Christmas Eve he dropped. Refused food and would just stay on his bed, no energy whatsoever and that was not like him. Turns out he had developed a rare form of anemia that does just that; take a healthy animal and drops them. This anemia caused his immune system to attack his red blood cells, killing them off as his body struggled to make more. The treatment choices were not good and his chances of survival so slim that I had to make the choice to have him put down today. Those who know me, know he was my right arm and my heart as he was also my medical alert service dog. I am lost without him. |

I wouldn't say so much sad, but rather disappointed.
Some information has come to light recently that has just left me kinda feeling disappointed. |
The fact that I'll be 45 in a couple of weeks and I'm starting over in every way. :(
*walks off grumbling...I'm too old for this shit* |
It's not bad, really, I turned 45 in August!

One of my Scottish cousins’ being so insensitive earlier when we spoke that he reduced me to tears. I didn’t feel like going to my stitching group tonight as I still feel a little tearful, so I’m curling up with a good book and a pot of tea. :tea:

That my girl was more intrested in other things than being with me and getting some sugar ..
I may be butch but it hurt me a bit .. We still aren't talking because I told her and she didn't like hearing the truth. |
Joe Paterno died this morning. :(
I hope the fuckin' Penn State trustees feel REAL good about themselves now. Bastards. |
It's coming up on that time of year again...the 5th anniversary of my Mom's death.
i'm sad but in a different way. A peaceful way... Last year i was finally able to grieve. With the help and support of my most patient very best friend i was at last able to say Kaddish at her grave and cry from the depths of my soul... |
Made me Sad
Writing an email today and it got read the wrong way and mistaken. A whole line of miscommunication comes from just scanning over emails and not throughly reading them. :vigil:

my father & stepmother - they deliberately set out to hurt me, as often as possible.. & while i don't take on that anger anymore, because well - i just don't want to and simply won't play their dirty games back to them.. i am mature & do care and have love for them, as people who have been in my life for well.. my whole life.. But, what makes me sad, is their need to do this to me.. & need to ridicule and to try and lower my esteem.. They're not being supportive of the positive changes i am making..& when i think about this deeply, i realize it's because they're unhappy in their own lives. Not an excuse, of course. But, no matter how mean spirited they can be, i'll continue to wish for happiness for them, some peace & to be gentle with themselves.. i distance them for my own well-being - but still want well for them.. |
