I've been off for a few days and nearly missed this. I'm 55 . I own an old house that I love and live in with my two dogs. My boyfriend lives stateside but is here 4 days of the week as he is just an hour away. He is wonderful and supportive. We started a vegis garden this year., we like to camp, like to bike (although we haven't all summer.) We also square and round dance and belong to a demo group that dances at festivals. retirement centres.etc. I am trying to paint, and decorate the house. I take walks every morning and night with the two furballs and I read a lot. especially when I can't sleep. I quit my job last august and need to get a job badly but keep stressing and shut down so i am trying to just enjoy life till I can get it together. I did belong to a couple of choirs but haven't done much singing lately and miss it. This summer we have picked a lot of strawberries ,blueberries and this sunday blackberries(40 pounds). We were building a couple of rock walls before the heat came and will get back to them this fall.as well as redesigning some of the garden. I have been collecting rocks from our trips that I am painting on for my yard. Have done a bit of sewing, would like to make a quilt , and maybe try to make my own jelly this year especially jalapeno. MMMM.
I am estranged from my daughter and son and grandchildren and try not to worry about it. They'll come around one day I hope.
I worked as a cashier for 20 plus years , then in a rec centre teaching 3-5 years olds for a couple of years What a wonderful time that was) and then becausse of more hours available left to manage a long term care facitlity in a hospital housekeeping , for another couple till last year when after looking after my mother and stepfather and their deaths I took what I thought would be a short break but I am still not working. I am on the pc but not a lot and trying to be consistent so I can be supportive as well using this site for my support.
