Ironically, it was …

Hug
Hi there - I've dealt with some pretty hardcore anxiety lately too, so I know how you feel! Fortunately for me, my hubby is pretty good about this stuff. I hope you'll get some relief soon. Anxiety SUCKS!

Spring has sprung in Colorado! Hooray! After last week, I'm so pleased. Now my friends and I can sit outside during our lunch and breaks and bask in the sunlight and warm breeze. That is the best part of the day! Will write soon! ~Pattye~

Hug
Thanks the the congrats on achieving my goal. It's been a long time a coming. Mostly because of something I did. (I'll explain in a message). Anyway, Roy and I were going to go to COS today as a fun day together but Kyle doesn't go to school until noon, sooo maybe another day. I just don't take many days off as mental health days, so it'll be awhile until we'll get to go again. Kyle and I will just go to the Pueblo mall this morning. He wants "skinny jeans", whatever those are. :-) Hugs. Will write more in a personal message. Hugs are so "out there" for everyone to read. Too personal a person for that.

Hi from Pueblo! It's great to have a friend that lives in Colorado Springs. I'm 51 and a mother of 2 teenagers ages 14 and 16. I work at Express Scripts. Ever heard of it? It's a mail order pharmacy and manages retail pharmacy benefits. What do you do? The weather is supposed to be awesome by Wednesday. Ready for spring?
