  1. Thank you, Dianne. I honestly think that from the time I got stung simultaneously, by 2 bees yesterday morning, my day just spiraled, because my mind did. While John was getting ready for work today, I took my usual 20 minute brisk walk, even though it’s getting pretty hot here. I was going to cut myself some slack, and skip it today, but sometimes it’s a better idea to fake it til you make it, and carry on, as if everything is normal.

  4. What a sweet thing to say….. Thank you.
  5. Unfortunately, he has to work for a few hours this afternoon, but I will try my best to distract myself. Feeling a bit vulnerable at the moment.
  6. I am, but yesterday got worse. Last night, I was rushed to the ER, via ambulance, with a sky high blood pressure and a bad headache. Thankfully my EKG was normal, and after appropriate treatment, I was released. That hasn’t happened to me, in years. I honestly believe that the stress of yesterday brought all that on, as it has on several past occasions. Crazy! Right now, I feel fine. Spent a lovely morning, just hanging out, in bed, playing video games, with my guy.

  8. Maybe my iPad malfunctioned that day, or , more likely, it was me…
  9. Tough Day Today! I woke up, way too early, with awful gas pain, and spent about an hour going back and forth from bed to restroom. Somehow, I didn’t wake my boyfriend. I Finally got another hour of sleep, then started my morning routine. After coffee, I decided to get my first brisk walk out of the way, since it was going to be on the hot side, today. I took my usual route, which takes me near a cluster of manmade bee hives on the property. I try to make sure I don’t venture too close, but this morning, a small group of bees attacked me, about 20 yards from their hives. I got stung, twice, both in the head. It was very frightening and distressing. Thank God, I’m not allergic. IIt took me awhile to calm down, and , truthfully, I was off the rest of the day. My anxiety was worse than usual, which always puts a damper on things. So, I did my best to distract myself, by keeping busy. I even took a nice hot bath to attempt to soothe myself. I also did a lot of deep breathing. One thing, I did not do, is smoke! I did fit in my 2nd brisk walk, but took an alternate path. Overall, though, what a crappy day! KAT
  10. Cut off bottom and use as funnel.
  11. No, it was someone’s post where they mentioned they had bought cigs, and when I checked it later, that post and several other’ reactions to it , including one by me, had disappeared.
  12. Great to hear, Diane. As I mentioned before, your initial post was the first one I read here. When I checked and saw that you were still here, and hadn’t picked up a cigarette, I knew I could do it, too. So, thank you for your commitment to yourself, and this community. We are both living proof that this forum works. KAT
  13. Prisoner’s early release
  14. That is the second time I have noticed that. I think the site is glitchy and someone’s post disappeared. Yesterday, in another thread, several posts, that were there earlier, had disappeared several hours later.
