Good morning campers..
Sorry I haven't wrote an entry in a while...nothing is wrong..just not a whole lot to write about...the dog days of summer are in full effect here in Florida and my energy level is suffering for it I guess...my friend Jen thinks I am depressed.. I don't think I am I am just adjusting to being alone and not having a whole heck of a lot to do...bit bored if anything but that's okay...I went out with another military wife last night..we went to dinner at carrabas..that was fun..today I am going to read by the pool and then I am going over Jens for a cook out....it is so HOT here..thank god for air conditioning and swimming pools!!! gas it over $4...we finally got our stimulus check...the kids and dog are fine...Ryan is driving me insane with the usual summer stuff..wet towels everywhere...half drank cans of soda ..eating all the food in the house...friends hanging out at all hours...not today mind you...today is MY day to lay by the pool...;-)
A couple of prayers requests..this is a tough one...my beautiful Di is battling cancer again..remember she had just got the all clear from breast cancer?? well it has returned in her thyroid..she is having surgery to remove the thyroid and lymph nodes Thursday...we will not know the extent of the cancer and what type till then...my father in laws wife is having a biopsy on a lump above her breast Monday morning too....
thanks in advance..
have a lovely weekend..stay cool..... ;-)..and thanks for the emails asking about me..really I'm okay....

Be well, take care

I'm glad to hear you are ok and can I ever understand the summer thingie and the drain on energy!! It's awful here too, we are lucky in a way being in Texas, gas is 3.83 right now a gallon - still too much but what can you do with the Schmucks that run the oil business and the bigger Schmucks in the White House?? This area of Texas is rich with oil, but because of OPEC <spelling?> nothing can be done with it there are pumps everywhere for oil but all they are doing is just sitting there. Will light a candle for Di - blessings to Her. You enjoy your day by the pool hon. Hugz** Teresa
this entry came in the nick of time... I was getting worried... do hope you bounce out of the 'funk' soon... miss ya! You know I'm sending boat loads of prayers and good thoughts.
hugs

I will keep Di in my prayers and hope that the surgery will do the trick. As for you and being depressed . . . if you find yourself not doing the things that normally make you happy then I believe you are depressed to some extent. You need to find some good things in your life and start dwelling on them. I know things are a bit rough, but then again you've been through it before. Ask yourself why it is different this time than in the past. Have a good weekend Lyn.

Sending up prayers right now for Di and also your FIL's wife. Hope you enjoy your day. Helen
Go have some unabashed girlish fun over Jen's.
If Jen knows you well, she might be on to something..
I'm very sorry about your MIL & Di. The combo of that & your husband being away is a major downer.
I say pools, good books & fun with friends can help combat that a bit, just not really take it away. Peace to you, Lyn. ~Mary
The dog days of summer are in full swing here as well. I am thinking that I will head down to that lake and cool off..... and rest!

Yeah....funk....I got it too.....Prayers for your sis & MIL.....
Michele
I have missed you my friend. I am sure adjusting is hard and since I am not in your shoes, I have no idea HOW I would react. I think you need to do whatever you can to get yourself through this time and if taking a little break and just hanging out by the pool is what you need...then go for it! I am glad you have your friend Jen to lean on.
But anytime you need a friend, I'm here!!
((hugs))

Adding your friends and family to my prayer list my dear friend. I can really empathize with the way you are feeling. I know when my ex used to go away, the kids still had all their friends and nothing much changed for them, or at least not in the way it did for me. Its like your life is in limbo for the time they are away. I found that my church family was really helpful when I was on my own. They helped keep me busy and gave me the emotional support I needed. Are there any classes running where you live that you could take? Learn a new skill? Join a bowling league? I always enjoyed Bingo as well! haha Just a few suggestions! (((hugs)))
love,
Marie

prayers being said right now...i think you have a lot on your mind.....you totally deserve rest and sun and just time to chill out.
LOVE YOU
Ugh....it is SO hot here, too. I go out to water my plants and come back in sweaty already. Gross.
~Amy
Sorry about your friend.
I'm glad to see you back. Laying by the pool with a good book would be Heaven on Earth to me!! Enjoy your weekend.
Pam
I was worried about you!! I was wondering if I was gonna have to come down there to check on you....LOL I will certainly say a prayer for Di and FIL Wife. Have a great day by the pool!!
Hugs
Carrie
Lighting up the candles for Di NOW.
You have every reason to be depressed, darling. Please keep an eye on that. Take it from me, that shit can get out of hand before you know what hit you. I went from being the happiest person in the world to taking 10 different meds a day and FOUR of them are for depression.
Putting Di on my prayer list. Enjoy your time reading by the pool. I'm hoping to do some reading later on my deck in the shade.
Missie
Hello, Beautiful! I am not getting alerts!!! Came by to see ya. So sorry to hear about that awful cancer. Prayers being sent your way for you & your loved ones.

Sounds like fun possible pool party?? Invite all of j-land lol. You know im quite new to your journal who is Di? I hope she does well with the surgery.
Sorry to hear about your friend Di, its awful that she is having to go through all this so soon again. I will be keeping everything crossed for her and also your father in law's wife too. I am glad you are having a such a hot time ... here it is rainy and blustery, hmmmm! Hugs as ever, Tells x
Prayers coming... it must be hard to adjust to Hubby being away... did they find the shitter?? I will check in when I get back from VT!
be well,
Dawn
I'm glad you are doing ok! I'm sorry about Di and your mil. That is no good! Prayers...

I've been wondering about you Lyn, I thought it might be the pressure of work keeping you from writing.
So sorry to hear about Di and your fil's wife, I do hope all goes well for both of them. I've had a lot going on too and am just about to update you all. You must be counting the days until you're husband gets home, I'm thinking of you. ~~~ Pat http://journals.aol.co.uk/pm71blackfen/ramblings-from-pat/
Glad to hear from you and hope you got your fun in the sun by the pool today. I think you inspired me to go get my book and just veg and read. Have a blessed week.
That's terrible news that Di has to start fighting again. No wonder you're not quite yourself. Love, big hugs and prayers for all of you.
Angie, xx

I noticed you have been quiet of late. I'm so sorry to hear about Di and your MIL. I will be keeping them both in my prayers on the smoke. Keep your chin up kiddo, I think Jen is a blessing in disguise these days. Your in my thoughts. (Hugs)Indigo
Good to see you back. Keep your chin up and stay strong. Sending good vibes to your loved ones.
Russ

Wendy in Oz
Yay.......glad to hear you are ok :o))
weather here in London has been pretty mixed recently............. sunny, windy, rainy......... today is very windy, was overcast but then blue skies and sunny, now windy again and cloudy but also sunny..... typical British weather i guess.....lol
Any chance of that sun ???
Sorry to hear about Di, also your fil's wife...... sending up prayers for them both
Take care hugs Jayne
God bless you all
This is tough. I will definitely keep you in my prayers. You have to be so strong. My son recently has had the exact same thyroid surgery and he is just 30. He is going to be ok, thank God, so I am believing for your Di. My mother had carcenoid tumor in her lungs and had surgery and a year later is in remission. I know that people survive cancer so I want to encourage you as much as I can.
When you get lonely write more. We miss you when you don't post.
Hugs,

Allison
Glad you're okay Lyn, I was wondering where you'd got to. It must be hard adjusting to change. I hope you settle down soon.
Fingers crossed for Di and hoping for a positive result.

God Bless

I'm glad to hear that you are OK and I will be praying for Di and your father in laws wife. May the dear Lord bless them both with sucessful surgeries and a speedy recovery. Summer is just beginning here, but this weekend we had lots of rain and it was cooler than usual. I did get to lay by the pool and take a dip on Saturday afternoon. It was great. We do need to count our blessings for sure.
'On Ya' - ma
I will certainly pray for Di and do hope all turns out well. Love Conniex
Many prayers to Di and your FIL's wife. You have a great time by the pool today. Just enjoy the day. It's hard being alone so sorry that you are. Enjoy the dog days of summer.

I've actually lost almost 20 pounds which I couldn't affor to lose in the first place...LMBO. I'm turning into a string-bean :(. LOL We really need to chat on the phone soon. I just loved that so much!!! Give me an email and let me know when is a good time to give you a wring ok?

Thanks for stopping over at my journal :) I bet things are pretty strange there without hubby :( I don't know if I could handle that. I'm sure I would but I sure would not want to. I think the kids would try to get away with more crap if he wasn't here too. Glad your getting out :) Nice to see entries from you again :)
It's good to see you posting. I'm glad you're doing well. So sorry about your friend. I hope the surgery is successful. Take care, and I hope the weather cools off a bit for you.
