I still have my moments, when i forget to take my meds, then i get stubborn. But eventually i take them and i get better. Sometimes its just not having the money to get my meds and sometimes I just don't wanna go get them when I get depressed. My daughters remind me when i start getting out of hand. The remind me in a non-offensive way that I need my meds. that usually works. -

I have moved in with my daugher and four grandkids. This is the best decision I have made in years. Now that I am sober and stronger emotionally, i decided to help my daughter with the children while she goes back to school. She has wanted to be a sign language translator in education.
I told her I will give her two years of my time, I cannot give her money for her education but I can give her wha...

Tomorrow is my birthday. I have been taking care of my mom since she returned home from the hospital. It has been taxing on me but at least she is getting better. I have been able to use her new Audi while she is unable to drive. Tomorrow I am going to spend the day with Dad, Chi and Ti. I know that we are going to dinner together and I am trying to pick a good place. I told my mom that I want to... -

If only breifly so I can catch my breathe.
Life moves right along. If I stop to breath, I might get pushed off this merry go round. Always something to do, seems like a break is impossible at times. It does get stressful to say the least. Too many irons in the fire. This morning it was up at 5 again to get the boys to the neighbor and come to work. Since they changed ...1 Recommendation

It was a rough week and I'm so glad it's the weekend. I had a cold all week and it's still dragging on. I fell asleep around 4:30 this afternoon and slept over 3 hours. I'm going to take a bath and get back in bed. Maybe if I sleep constantly maybe eventually I'll have some energy.
I started my new meds last Friday and it seems to be going well. I thought my shoulder/arm pain ... -

I relapsed recently.
I let the allure of such pleasure ensnare me so easily.

I don't believe it but it's true. I spoke with the director of benefits today and she informed me that twenty-one checks flew out of the insurance company yesterday to start covering some of my medical claims! Thank you God! I needed that to start happening. It's a load off these over burden shoulders. Now if we can keep this up, soon everyone will have their money(ies) and maybe I ca...1 Recommendation2 Comments -
