'Woggy's out of school, so we have all day together--yay! Lalalallalalalallall ala laa....
She has to get more documents for the move--application is about 20 pages long--and we have to verify all income and assets, aid, S.S. etc.
I'm busy figuring out our moving schedule, where to put everything, and what we need to do next--and making the phone calls.Also, I meet with the Pain Clinic on Tuesday, so things are looking up.
How is everyone? We're going to have a crazy Christmas!
Yes, you and Wog will be very busy! Gee, there sure is a lot of paperwork involved!
I love Christmas, but I always go a little crazy this time of year too. Working full time + all that Christmas entails leaves me a bit more frazzled every year. It helps that I do most of my shopping online. :)
That's great that you're going to the pain clinic. Prayers that you will find relief soon!
I hope everyone has a lovely day! I'm off to to work. :)
Morning to all Ponders. Froggy and Wog I am so happy for you. Things are changing. Froggy I can tell by your words that your outlook is changing too. I am in agreement with Paget that you will find relief from your pain soon. Can't stress enough to be cautious about lifting and carrying things.
It rained here in L.A. all last night and today the sun is shining soooo brightly.
I'm so glad things are moving along so well, Froggy & 'Wog! I can hardly wait to hear if your application is accepted.
Yesterday turned out to be a strange day for me. I had planned to do a little shopping for myself before meeting a friend for lunch. I had just walked into a store when my phone rang. It was my niece, telling me she was divorcing her husband. That was the end of my shopping trip. She knows I always talk with my father on Wednesday nights and she didn't want him to be the one to give me the news. She also didn't want to wait until our usual Skype this afternoon.
I'm glad she didn't wait and I wish there was something I could do for her. All I can do is give her all my love and support. I had a feeling this was coming. There are a lot of differences between them. 25 years in age, for one thing. I think when things are going well, differences can be overlooked, but when things are tough, the differences are glaring.
He doesn't have a job and no prospects for one (not surprising in these economic times). Since their son (age 2) has been a handful, it's been so helpful having him there to be a full-time dad. She has NO complaints about him as a father. As a husband, that's another thing. I feel so bad for them and for the little one. It's going to be a tough time for all of us over the holidays.
Right now, my dad is getting the brunt of it because he's there in the same town. I was on the phone with him for a couple of hours last night. Then I was on with my Aunt & Uncle. Everyone wants to help, but really there isn't anything anyone can do.
Nikki & her husband have been in counselling since last June. We had a laugh yesterday when she told me her next call was to the therapist. I told her not to worry about that one. I'm sure those people get plenty of these calls. Sometimes marriage counselling helps. Sometimes not.
Anyway, he has no money and nowhere to go, so he's still in the house. It's going to be a very awkward visit for us. I hope Joe holds his tongue!
Eva, this is such sad news. Men have a lot of their self esteem tied up in their job. That he isn't working probably added more stress to the situation. For this to happen at this time of year is doubly sad. It affects the whole family.
Thank you all for your good wishes and prayers. It makes a difference. You're right about it being doubly tough at this time of year. We'll get her through it as best we can. I just don't want her getting down on herself. She told me she feels like a failure. I told her she wasn't and that I knew they both tried. It didn't work. It happens. A lot.
Hi deer Ponders. Froggy, you do sound wonderful these days! Sounds like a lot of things are turning towards the positive for you two. When I go through hard spells, I keep telling myself that the Lord told us to walk through the Valley of the Shadow of Death ... not to set up camp there! I wish you and Wog the very, happy, healthy best and will keep you in my prayers.
Eva, I'll keep your niece and her family in my prayers, too. They'll get through it. Sucks, though.
Well, my big project at work is almost completed. I'll be finished (working at home) in about an hour. I put in a little over 60 hours this week! Sure am gonna love the paycheck, though. Color me tired.
Almost forgot. Eva, I love this time of year in SoCal. Big rain, then glorious sunshine and clean air the next day. Pretty soon the hills will be green and covered in wildflowers.

Froggy, please check your email. I bet you're busy getting all your frogs in a row. :) I'm so happy for you and Wog! :D
DeleteFrog and Wog are two smart ladies. You should be able to do a 20 page doc without to much trouble.
DeleteGood Morning, Ponders!

DeleteEva sorry to hear about the bad news. My heart goes out to everyone involved.
DeleteSorry Eva, that is sad news. :( The fact that it is the holiday season makes it more difficult for everyone. Prayers for your family.
DeleteHi Sir Phooey.
DeleteI'm sorry, Eva. Break ups are really hard--and hard to watch. The holidays and Obama are an added stressor. I wish there was something we could do.
DeleteWell, Hi there Lady Gloria! Wishing you a great day.
ReplyDelete'Lady Gloria'--I like that!

ReplyDeleteA loss often feels like a failure. However, one person can't make a relationship a success. It can't be done.
