Time For A Break


well, it seems I can't quite
get it all together
i think of things to blog
about all the time
things to share

i think about all of you
all the time
and wonder how you're
doing

i'm working mostly from
home which is 
good but even though I 
sit at the computer all
the time-the problem
is I sit at the computer
all the time

SO...instead of stressing myself
and feeling a bit frantic i'm 
allowing myself a break
and who knows if i allow myself
to have a break
i may just blog more
who knows?
not me that's for sure

i have a ton of pictures i've 
meant to share so i might try 
putting them on
or it may not happen

it's pretty apparent i don't have
a solid plan
moe is getting ready to leave in 
a couple weeks-she's been here
for a year
wow that went fast

last week BIL had open heart surgery
(MaryE's hubby)
98 minutes without a heartbeat
holy wowzers
he's doing well 
just got home today  
that is truly amazing

we had a party out of town for my
MIL's 80th birthday

my blurry vision isn't cataracts 
but Fuchs dystrophy 
I have one good eye
and one bad  eye
and right now the bad eye sees better
so after closing my right eye
for most of my life so I can see out if my good eye I now close my 
good eye to see out of my bad eye
which now sees clearer
oy vey
it's quite exhausting 

need to see dad which hasn't 
been happening like it should
so....time for a break
might just be a mental break

i'll still see everything you all post
i'll still read everything you post
i'll still care what is going on 
AND
i will try to check in

you can always reach me by email 
(there is a link to do that)
and some of you can text me
some can play Words With Friends
with me (and if you want to but
don't, please email me!!)

SO....there ya have it...
trying to survive 
trying to hang on
doing ok but needing to 
"get my poop in a group"

so....here's hoping each one of you 
will check in now and let us all
know how YOU are doing
so much has happened to
so many this year

Hoping to hit birthdays
(btw-Happy Birthday LUV!!!)
and I know some more will 
be coming up 

i am also hoping to get the page updated
sad sad sad looking i know!!!
i am supposed to be creative at work 
and i'm about "creatived" out
(yes i just made up that word)

okie dokey
let see how this goes ok?
i'm still around, but i know
i will still be lacking in the 
blogging area so figured i
should make it "offical"
about taking a "break"

hope you are all doing well
weathering the weather 
(for those of you that have to
do that)
or enjoying the fact you DON'T 
have to weather anything but
can just enjoy

now I'M curous about
how this break will
"go down"
now that i've said
it i'll probably start blogging again
LOL

  1. MARE, IT'S SO GOOD TO SEE YOUR WORDS ON HERE. I WAS STARTING TO THINK THE WORST BUT THEN YOU DID SAY YOU WERE GOING TO TRY AND TAKE CONTROL OF YOURSELF AND BE A STRONGER PERSON AND DO WHAT YOU WANT IN YEAR 15. AND GOOD FOR YOU, KIDDO.

    YOU DON'T HAVE TOO CHECK IN EVERYDAY BUT ONCE A WEEK WOULD BE NICE. IT JUST GIVES US A GOOD FEELING TO KNOW YOUR OK. I'M HOPING AND PRAYING FOR A BETTER YEAR. I WOULDN'T WANT TO RELIVE LAST YEAR. SO MANY TEARS AND PAIN. I WISH I COULD GET OVER THE LOST OF OUR LITTLE JOEY.HE GAVE GRAMPS AND MYSELF SO MUCH JOY.

    I KNOW YOUR GOING TO MISS MOE. I'M SURE SHE WAS A BIG HELP TO YOU. BUT LIFE GOES ON AND SHE HAS TO FINE HER WALK IN LIFE. IT'S SO HARD FOR THE YOUNG GOOD KIDS TODAY. THEY'VE GOT SO MANY ROAD BLOCK IN FRONT OF THEM WITH THE WAY THE WORLD IS GOING. I'VE GOT ONE GRANDCHILD THAT'S AT A STAND STILL. NOT KNOWING WHAT THE WORLD HAS TO OFFER.THIS ONE ISN'T AFRAID OF HARD WORK BUT DOESN'T KNOW WHICH ROAD TO TAKE. GOING ON 20 AND STILL LOOKING.

    IT'S BEEN VERY COLD HERE NIGHTS AND WARMS A LITTLE DURING THE DAY. I SEE IT SAYS 77 DEGREES HERE ON THE YOUR BLOG BUT DOESN'T FEEL LIKE IT.COOL YOU KNOW ME, I'LL TAKE IT OVER THE HOT WEATHER. I DON'T LIKE SWEAT.

    I HOPE CASEY IS OK. I LEFT A COUPLE OF COMMENTS BUT HE HASN'T READ THEM. HE WAS SHOWING SOME OF HIS BEAUTIFUL ART . I HOPE THEY ALL SELL. HE DOES SUCH NICE WORK.


    HELLO TO ALL MY BB'S FRIEND THROUGH MARE'S BLOG. MISS READING YOUR DAILY COMMENTS.

  2. I get it, Mare. I find my blogging ebbs and flows, taking on a life of it's own. I was surprised to read about your eye problem, as I know it's quite rare. I have a good friend who has the same thing. She recently had a cornea transplant and is doing very well. Amazing.

  5. Hi Mare! Hi Ladies!
    Mare, I'm sorry to hear about your eye condition. I hope your ophthalmologist can give you or gave you drops and things to help. My "go to" source for medical info is the Mayo Clinic website, and I found this there plus a ton of other info about your condition: http://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/fuchs-dystrophy/basics/treatment/con-20023893. Maybe there will be a tip or two there that helps in some way.

    I have cataracts but they don't need removal yet. I also have very bad allergies that, for some strange reason, decided last summer to settle in my eyes! It's pretty horrible! My eyes itch and hurt all the time, my vision is very blurry and I have difficulty driving sometimes. I, too, close my right eye most of the time. It's the only way I can read the computer screen, even though I enlarge the text on many pages by clicking CTRL + rolling the mouse wheel forward. My eye doc is a champ and extremely well educated, but he has given me 3 kinds of eye drops and can't do much more to help me. I did find a new kind of nighttime eye salve last week that helps more than anything else so far. Yay!

    And taking a break once in a while is always a good idea, in my book! So it will be interesting to see how this turns out. LOL

    Bet you will miss Moe like crazy! How lucky she is to have you, and you her. :)

    GRANNY, CASEY HAS BEEN NEGLECTING HIS BLOG A LITTLE BIT LATELY AS HE IS ON CLOUD 9 BECAUSE OF THE ART SHOW OF HIS WORKS ON DISPLAY AT THE NEW HAVEN WINE BOUTIQUE RESTAURANT HE'S HAVING RIGHT NOW. I AM SO HAPPY FOR HIM! IT SEEMS TO HAVE REVITALIZED HIM A BIT JUST WHEN THINGS WERE NOT LOOKING UP FOR HIM. HE IS SO DEAR, ISN'T HE?!

    Snowing again here in NJ today. Things are cooking along for us and life is good again for the most part. Our burned down house is rebuilt and finished now and up for sale. What a year it was last year! LOL It feels so great to be almost out from under all that pressure and to be able to relax again for the first time in what seems like forever. Yay!

    Have a great winter, Ladies! And Mare, take all the time you want. See you here again whenever you feel up to it! xoxoxox

  6. Hi Mare. I'm glad you checked in and let us know what's going on. I agree with everyone else, take all the time you need. Sometimes you just need to step back and recharge your batteries. I hope you find some relief for your eye condition. And thanks for the birthday shout out! Take good care of yourself!!
