Poor kitty! Poor Jeff! There was no way he could know if the cat would be saved, could only try or not try. He tried! He was very brave! I am really glad he was not hurt!!!

Thanks waves, he is a very lucky man!

I have a real dilemma going thru my head right now.

I miss drinking.
Tonight is art walk.
Hubby is playing at the fiddle shop on the main street with a colleague of his. Many of the galleries will be open and provide free snacks and usually wine.
Tonight is the kids night where there will be all kinds of student art works displayed. So it is fun seeing all of the youngsters works of art. I have been in years past and it is fun. How ever I don't want to walk alone.
Hubby has this commitment to the fiddle shop, they are playing their pieces twice. So he will be tied up there. It is a gorgeous day and really would like to go and do the art walk.
Just don't know if I want to go hang out with jeff at the fiddle house.


just talked with him am going to ride with him there but will do art walk by myself. I can resist all of the free wine.
I don't really like wine that much.

thank you.
went to the art walk and went to the big gallery (ACA acadiana center for the arts)and spent almost 2 hours just looking thru the kids art work. Loved being there by myself actually, just my pace etc. IT was easy to find the fiddle shop again half block away, came back and listened to jeff and Mike play their 2nd set so good timing. I even recorded their last tune and posted it on face book.
They had fun.
Jeff rode back with Mike to his house for a few beers.
We ate an early dinner at 5 so I am starting to get snacky.
I am still dieting less restrictive now that I am at a better weight.
Maybe I will snack on some nuts? I have been chewing gum all night avoiding the alcohol and my jaws hurt.
oh well...I am still AF so made it thru an art walk.

got up early today, my right shoulder that i sleep on was bothering me so decided to get up.
Ate some left over BBQ pulled pork that was left over from out trip to texas road house, yummy! Full of calories and salt I am sure of that.
But It HAD to be eaten!!!! LOL
Think I will do some paper work that I have been avoiding.

Had my friend susan over for a quick dinner friday night.
I feel so badly for her. Her depression is worse. She told me that she hated herself. I honestly don't know how to help her. I listen and try to ground her, she feels that she has no future....I told her to think about the here and now. She has intrusive negative thoughts that continually erode her self esteem and worth.
She is juggling 3 part time jobs. One in the framing department. another at a nursery and then she is in the symphony, so there are rehearsals and concerts. Yesterday she was gone the most of the day for a gig at a casino, music of the band the eagles. I would have liked that but it was far away from here and would have gone by myself, which I did not want to do.
She was riding in the car there with a friend that has been somewhat supportive to her initially but backed off. I asked susan to really talk with her again, she needs as many support people as possible.
Her husband doesn't get it. And has told me as much.
She keeps trying different meds to try to help and none have helped her or they have side effects that she doesn't like. She has not been sleeping.
Do you have any advice?

WE go to a support group meeting twice a month thru NAMI called connections.
there is a family meeting that goes on in the other room for loved ones to attend. I asked her to ask her husband to go.
Think I will mention it to him.
WE are going over there for mothers day. Paul is BBQing salmon on the grill.
I bought a big container of fresh fruit, she requested that.
on to my 3rd cup of coffee, paperwork and a shower is in the immediate future.

No advice for your friend. But I think your asking her husband to go to the
group for family members might be good. My mom has always gone to
theirs in Kokomo. It has really helped her.

Thanks donna, I think I will mention it to him.
