Hi everyone , it's late and I am kinda in a hurry so I have to make this quick. not to much is going on. I am moving into the apartment program in August maybe september early september depending when the apartment comes available. Icannot wait. We are going on some trips so July will go by fast. I am getting a computer just waiting for some money to come in so its going to be a little while for the hospital is taking its sweet ole time getting my money out to us.

but anyways I have to get back for meds so I have to cut you all off short. Tomorrow I am helping my friend move so I won't be here. Talk to you all later. Hope all is well. I didn't get a chance to read anything. Melissa

Melissa:

Hello glad you posted and pray that you will soon be in a new apartment program.
Who's moving? anyone i met?
Ummm hope you get into a program real soon and get your own apartment.

My cousins and aunt are coming form the States today and I have some packing and stuff to do for April.
so this is not going be long.

My aunt wanted to come to say her final good byes.... she ahs been doing poorly and well i think I already told you this

Anyway I had better go and get stuff done here so I can go to Aprils and do a bit of stuff for her ... the cats are still down here even though April is up there.

Rest is looking real good. Don't know when that will transpire though.

Anyway best go and check in again soon.

How did things go with D?

Hi Melissa & fellow members:

just a quick update .... the relatives arrived safely from Tennessee.... so am playing about 5 years of catch up and well you know that two weeks hardly makes up for those 5 years

i am trying to still finish packing with April but may leave that as i really need this time the cousins and my Aunt. She has congestive heart failure and well she is doing okay for now...
well as much as I know what will happen i want to not think about it.

i watched my mom in the final stages of cancer ... also go into congestive heart failure
you feel pretty helpless in these cases

the cousins are not well.... either so many health problems and all of them amjor smokers so there is COPD on top of everything else they suffer from and they are quite abit younger than me but older than you by about 10 years

i hope you are doing okay
April and Bekah both say hi too.

they will be leaving in the middle of the month and hope you get an apartment? will it still be in Johnstown?

Jim how are things with you and Brenda
and Hi Samm... know you read the posts from time to time
take care

Hi Mel.
I hope all is going well for you and you are continuing to make progress. I'll be thinking positive thoughts for you.

Hi Rhonda,
sounds like you have got a full plate at the moment. Hope all goes well for you.

Brenda and I are OK at the moment. I've been cycling in out of mega depression lately, but I seem to be reasonably stable now.

Thank you for caring.

Hi Rhonda,

Wow a lot is going on for you. I have a little while so I thought I would try and do some catching up here. I am sorry to hear about your counsin.. I remember about everything else and I am so sorry that I wasn't around for it all when YOu were going through the tough times with your mom and all. You have your plate full but I know you are strong and will get through it. hang in there and I am here if you need to talk send me a email.

Jim, I don't don't know you well but I am hoping that once I get my computer and get online at my own apartment that we can chat and get to know each other. I can relater to going through cylces of depression although right now I seems to be doing pretty good knock on wood.

Samm as rhonda said I also remember that you once said youpop in once in a while to read from time to time to read well I hope that everytime is going well with you in England. Ok now I am going to go and post a fresh up date for you all.
ALways Melissa ;D

It would be nice to chat to you Mel, you have obviously had a long hard row to hoe.

I'm always yoyoing up and down, with my bipolar, then there's the generalised anxiety and the boderline personality bit. All in all it makes for an interesting, ever changing world that I live in.

Hi Everyone

well i made it back here to try and catch up with you all
Paul has started this geocache thing
it is site where they give you co-oridantes and you have to find some little thing with some stuff and a log and sign in ... like a scavenger hunt... its okay or some are.
he enjoys so I go along with my camera and take the picture of him holding the treasure hahaha... cuz as Mel knows I do not like my picture taken.
you use a gps to find the cache and well we do it... as a team why not??? i don't like the thorny caches or going in there after a rain and it has rained alot lately but thats okay too because for the last couple of years we have not had much rain.

Mel if you still have your facebook addie think it was your old hotmail one sign in and check out the photos
there are about 79 of them now and some are private but if you want access let me knw and i will add you

April has not moved up north as of yet.... she has but not fully she moves her stuff at the end of the month and then maybe after Pauls vacation and Bekah coming here for a week to have her friends over one at a time cuz I am gramma and old so onefriend at a time for sleep overs.

I figure this way she can still hang out with her friends from here
without being to hard on April with working and moving into a new place.

Bekah has decided she does not want to spend time with her dad.... knew that time would come just feel bad about it as after all it is her dad....she has some issues none of us know about as of yet but am sure it will all come out. There has been alot going on with her and her dads family ... a kidnapping etc.
too long to get into so I am sure she has alot to deal with

so hopefully things will work out however... my dad is doing some better... which is good... he's eating going out on his
own
missing mom terribly but still better than he was

he even seemed to enjoy the visit with his sister my aunt and the cousins ... i always enjoy their visits
Mel i am looking forward to setting up some chat times once you have your own computer.

will you have a room mate that you know this time?

what program are you going into?

where are you working and once you start school will it be to continue what you have been doing in college? whew
now i can breathe :=)


now Jim I am glad you are ok for now but sorry to hear about the bout of depression .... know how horrid that can be and that nobody wants to be that way ... it's horrible free falling pit and a long climb out from what i have seen. i think i admire the underlying strength you all have the most.

Samm hope all is going well with you and am unsure if Rich ever comes in here anymore but if you do hi.

Nikki helllllllllo there miss our chats.

I hardly ever sign into my msn unless i know someone is going to be on

Mel.... Brian has asked after you during your absence but am sure if you are in Johnstown or both going to the clube there again that you have caught up with one another.

hope things look up for everyone and please keep in touch
