    Glad to hear from you, though sorry it's been such a tough time, that's more than your share of troubles for sure. Hope things improve soon.

    Good morning Lady Peewee. It is so good to hear from you. I have been missing your posts.

    You certainly have had a lot going on! And it all sounds difficult. My wish for you is a better day today.

    Take care Lady.

    Hello ladyeewee; I had been thinking of you and wondering how you were doing.  I am sorry to hear of all that has been happening.  I sure can understand the stress that you have been facing; that is understandable.

    So hope that being retired makes a difference and that things will begin to work out much more smoothly for you.

    J.

    Thank you so much for your reply. I am reducing my hours at work down to 16 hours a week. It will give me something else to take my mind off of my peewee for a bit. I am taking my early retirement from Social Security this way I will have some kind of income and I can still keep my Job. I hope this makes some kind of since.

    Hello Lady, it is good to hear from you! I'm sorry about your friend Daniel. I certainly hope your brother and mother are doing better. You must be exhausted and stressed out. I really hope things will get a little easier for you and PeeWee. It seems like things are extra sucky these days. Hang in there Lady! I admire you! Hoping you will have a nice, peace filled weekend.

    Thank you for checking in with us!

    Hi Ladypeewee, I've been following your posts since I joined the group some years ago.  

    Thanks for coming back and updating us on your life. Your posts were missed.

    I am sorry for the heavy load you have been carrying on your shoulders.  Hopefully things will even out, if even just a little bit for you.  

    The retirement sounds like a good decision.  Please come back when you can and let us know how things are going.

    Nancy

    Thank you so much for your replies  to me. This year has been really tough I hate to admit. But that's life and the hand I was dealt. So I will deal with it the best I can.

    I had two granddaughters got married this month. I had to work and couldn't go to the wedding.

    I had one great grandson born this month, His mom had Covid 19 while she was waiting on his birthday.  I was unable to be there due to the hospital's Covid 19 precautions.Then when the baby was born. He had to have emergency surgery to repair a birth defect. His intestines was outside his body. I couldn't be there for that.  They fix him and now he is on the road to recovery

    I also Had another granddaughter who had Covid 19. both girls are doing fine now. .

    My brother is recovering from his heart attack. My mother is doing much better now.

    I have change my working hours down to two nights a week. Monday and Tuesday. So Now I am home with my Peewee. 5 nights a week. And I still have my Job at walmart. Now I don't feel as stressed as I did. Thank you everyone for your support.
