I am feeling very blue today as my hubby left for Maine this morning to ahrvest blueberries. He runs a crew for a company called Braggs. They contract out for other companies,like my husband's to do their fields.They don't pick by hand any more they use tractors with devices called harvestors on them. They can cover a lot of ground. The work day is very long 5a.m til 8 p.m. for 3 to 4 weeks. then he's just back and the berries here are ready to be harvested so he does not get any break until about the end of Sept. He's usually exhausted by this time. Long....days. Anyway his leaving just makes my depression worse. a good thing though is that my girl friend and I are going to Price Edward Island, our smallest province, to visit and spend overnight with a friend. This is a yearly trip and we have a great time. We eat well, drink wine and go touring about. I usually find something neat to buy. I admit I'm a bit of a shopaholic. On Friday I bought a gorgeous new bed in a bag set. The cover duvey is deep rose with gold leaves on it. Beautiful!!
I spent some time this afternoon weeding and cutting back some of my gardens, it was a perfect temperature to work outside and a gentle breeze to keep the cursed mosquitos away.
I was away for a few days because I was really ill on Sat.. I was up most of the night vomitng,yuck. It was violet. I thought that maybe I had food poisoning as we ate out the night before and I had a turkey salad sanwich. It could have had some samonella. Who knows. But I'm better now.
My daughter is coming home this weekend for a friends wedding. It will be nice to see her, but I'll probably not see her that much as she has so many friends to visit plus the wedding. But it's really okay because if we're around each other too much she stresses me out, big time!!!! I know that doesn't sound very motherly, and believe me ,I love my daughter, but we just butt heads, she know how to push my buttons.
Anyway, I'm going to close now and will not be back on line until sometime on Wed. I'll be thinking about you. Be well, Debbie

Hey, I am sorry your hubby gone, it is just hard. But it\'s kind of fun to pick up bloueberries. Will miss you a lot until then.,
Have a safe and fun trip. Hugs Cathy
Debbie...Just have the most fab time with your girlie friends!!!
Do you think because you are openly acknowledging why you are blue it will allow you to accept and work through your sadness? For me I find it hard to decipher between my depression and sadness, but when I have a solid reason to feel down, it makes it easier to deal with because I know it will be transient.
Do take care and we will all be here when you get back should you need us.
Much Love
