12/28/2023 10:07:56 PM: I so wish I could change my profile.  However, have been warned that changing the profile results in it needing new approval.  Some people have waited months to get approved and some never got approved.  So, I will keep my very basic profile.  

8/12/2022 11:16:25 AM: Last time I looked at adding to my journal it was not possible to do it.  Nice that the feature has returned.  The munch group started meeting a few months ago but due to having company I haven't attended yet.  However, will be going this month unless I do something silly like forget it's Saturday.  Funny, after my late husband passed away I knew I would be seeking another.  In a month Gary will be gone for 5 years and I still have no desire to have another man in my life.  Guess I am burned out.       

4/13/2018 11:38:12 PM: I am getting a puppy.  Need something to tell me when someone is around the house.  Tried to get a rescue dog as I really didn't want a puppy.  Every time a dog that was suitable became available someone always beat me to it.  Decided if I was going to get a puppy now is the time.  Weather is getting warm enough to house train a little one.  She'll be ready to leave her mommy in a few weeks.  Have already named her Tee.  She's a Bichon Frise crossed with a Yorkshire Terrier.  I know, she's going to be way too small.  

3/20/2018 10:34:41 AM: It's six months today that Gary died.  I am doing better I think.  Don't cry every day.  Certain things set me off such as songs he loved to sing.  I was at the local play party and someone was using a piece of equipment Gary bought.  That sends me back to the day he found it and how excited he was.  Then I start to cry again.  I don't stay at the parties long.  Just can't do it, however, I need to go so eventually little things like that won't bother me so much.  

9/24/2017 7:24:21 AM: I am feeling lost.  Have spent years with Gary.  Have spent years taking care of Gary.  It was my purpose in life.  I have no idea which way to go.  No idea what to do to give my life meaning.  Do I get a hobby?  Do I do volunteer work?  What is going to fill this awful emptiness?
