    • About Me

      I do childcare and was a preschool teacher for years. I am here for chronic pain and being so tired all the time. I have Fibromylagia and IBS with other health problems, , along with grief of loss of both parents last year. I love reading, music, a BIG Elvis Fan. Like meeting people and want to help others who share the same pain as I do.

      From Emerald5usa November 14

      Hi Angel... just stopping by hoping your doing ok and to wish you a good week. Hope things have picked up for employment for your family too. Not to much happening here. The weather has still been rainy and today a little snow mixed in it. Been trying to get myself to clean out and organize my kitchen cupboards. I still have lots to go through from when moved into my apt in Jan. Closets are full of things just not sure if want to keep or not yet.
      take care gentle hugs

    • Ray of Sunshine

      From Emerald5usa November 1

      Sending some sunshine to hopefully brighten your week. The weather has been the same here .. right now not complaining although the sunshine would be nice here the alternative would be snow and miserable cold temps. Wishing you a wonderful Sunday and the best possible week ahead. Take care always gentle hugs

    • Thanks
