for the birthday well wishes. I spent it mostly by myself. My kids were all gone.

Susan and her girl pals were up at the cabin and they did invite me to go but I had too much to do around here to go. Travis and Devin were hunting in the mountains and Dustin was on a camping trip with his dad. The boys did however come over and spend the night with me for my birthday. That was my present from those two, getting up at 5:30 to get them off to school. LOL
I did get my blanket too.

It looks like a fall day again today. We had a hail storm a couple of weeks ago and I have roof damage so waiting on the insurance man to deal with that. It beat up my only tomato plant. Even the weather tells me I don't have a green thumb. Everyone I talk to on the phone in other states say their weather is crazy too. Look out for winter, OMG.

Gramma, thanks for the song still off key though. LOL I do hope that your better half has good luck with his SCS surgery. Since being friends with you for so many years, I worry about him too. I know he has some really hard times with the RSD.

I want to say I am doing better. Some days yes, others no. Yesterday was rough again. My Dr. put me on Crestor and I do believe it is making my depression and anxiety worse but he is determined to keep me on it so we cut it down to half of a 5mg. I pull myself up and then I start going down again, just can't seem to stay up mentally.

MrsD, I will talk to Debbie about coming on the Suicide website. I talked to her for 3 hours on the phone Monday night. She seems to be doing somewhat better. She's back home and even walked out to where she found Donald at. I don't know if that is good for her though. I will mention the website to her.

Allen, I have been watching the news on the fires. It's just so sad what people are going through nowadays. I hope they get them all out soon before many more homes are lost.

Thanks so all of you for being there for me. One of these days I will get myself pulled up and stay there.

Im glad to see that you had a eventfull day,,,I believe that God does that to keep our minds busy and off our troubles,,,,im still crutching aound in some pain from a bad THR surgery,,a friend of mine came over and wanted me to look at his car{ i worked 17yrs in the mechanical field],,I didnt really want to ,and then thought that my friend was crazy for asking me to try to dx his car problem with the shape that im in,,,,Well , it was a true blessing,,God wanted me to help him,,we Got the car fixed,,but i wouldnt have everknown that God wouldve worked in a way like he did,,,,,,many good things happened that day,,,and God did lift and took away some of my physical pain ,as he had me take away the mental pain of another,,,,,,,,,,,,praise you Lord

I do still smile at times but I do know what you mean about being ask to do things you think you can't do. It's like we have to pull ourselves up by our collar and say, ok, we can do this.

This evening I have to take the boys to the high school football game and then go back and get them afterward. Then tomorrow I have to take Devin to a birthday party and keep up with Dustin. Mom and Travis are out of town.
I had some other thoughts of what to do this weekend but I can't say no for some reason. I enjoy the boys though. They are hardly ever in a bad mood so they keep me laughing.

Bobber, God does give us the strength to do things that we think we can't do or that we don't want to do at times. Fixing that car got your mind off of what you are dealing with. It's like a reprieve.

I will say, today my RSD is doing it's thing in my right arm, hand and foot. I know it's due to the weather. The burning has been bad. I can remember asking my Dr. to cut my right arm off or call in Dr. Korvorkian at times when I was at my worst. I don't want to get to that point again.

We all need to find some things in our lives that are good to help us through the pain and depression of the RSD.
