Wow, that is so cool.....A lot of reading....it's late here so I have just skimmed it....hmmmmm, I wonder if we are put on a Government list if we join this religion......I know this sounds weird, but my son does alot of researching and he says the Govn't. has books and books of lists that they put people on.....if they do anything out of the "norm"........sounds funny, but it is also kind of scarey.....Of course I probably am on several of their lists already with all of the websites I have gone to.........
Do you know of anyone that has joined this group? Sounds to me like they are just out to find a better way to live their lives.......I am going back for a closer look.

The drumming and chanting was probably to raise positive energy, but I would have known how to get the ground ready for the seed, I didn't always live in the city, and I miss having a vegetable garden.

I am feeling very old today....Don't know why or where it came from... I looked in the mirror and I feel alot older than I look. I normally think very young, but I know I am old. My aches and pains sometimes get me down. I went today and applied for a job, hoping to get back in the mainstream of things, so I hope that will do the trick. I think my fantasy life was getting the better of me...I would rather be sitting at my computer, writing on my books and living life through my characters rather than getting out and living.......but I have to ask myself......Is it really any better?

Maybe it's just the weather. I know I go off the walls when I'm not working, I turn into a vegetable. Go for it (a job) it could be a good thing. Hope you feel like your self soon, I know that I go through phases of downess at times, it stinks.

Once again Em...we seem to be on the same path. This winter has been hard. I had never looked my age too much...but lately when I look in the mirror...I no longer recognize myself...that is horrible. I have also realized,, to a great degree, that at my age, starting a new career is difficult...my job has just been going downhill the last 3 years...pay cuts, rules regarding vacations, few holidays....the things I like to do don't pay diddly...the one good thing I have going is that next year my house will be paid for!
Also, am with you on the aches and pains....my shoulder is "frozen shoulder"...the doctor gave me anti-inflammatory drug for now....if it isn't better...then cortizone....but the pain has been limiting my activities...and I am starting to put on some weight...a battle I have been fighting since I was twelve...
I am hoping too that when the weather gets a little nicer here (it has been back down to zero at night with highs during the day of only the teens) that I will get back out walking and gardening...that should lighten my spirits a little.
My prairie restoration group is a help...regardless of how cold it is...we are out there working most Saturdays...but the shoulder has made that difficult.
Star Wars has become my refuge and sanity...this Saturday 12 of the local Fan Force group are coming over to make Jedi Robes at my house....I am looking forward to that. One of the people that will be there is the woman who was mentioned in the same Bantha Tracks as The Jedi Assembly was in...she did the article on "costuming for kids"....I have seen some of her stuff...she is absolutely fabulous....I am going to attach myself to her hip and pick up all the tips I can...
Take heart Em....it ain't much...but you ain't alone!

Thanks guys....Knowing you are here makes things alot better. My kids are grown. My daughter and I used to be connected at the hip and now I hardly see her. She does call me on the phone alot. My sons are very much on their own. Last night I dreamed my whole family got together for a reunion, and it was the first happy dream, I have had in a long time... I feel that coming out of retirement is good, the bad thing is, none of the hospitals or doctors offices are hiring.....I will probably have to change professions.
Wish I had more Star Wars gal fans here in town....The two that are here are guys and they don't include me in on their things....Well, one of them is into the renassiance and we have been e-miling about that. He and his wife go to the park across the street from my house every Sunday and do their thing with their group, so I am going over on Sunday to see what it is all about. I have always been busy with something and as much as I like my solitude...I am a little lonely. At first I thought I was Manic Depressive, but I realize now, that is not it.....I am just a little sad and I know I'll get over it soon.
Schph, I really hope your shoulder is just inflamed from over use....If it comes to the cortizone shots they will really help. I have had several of those in my lifetime. Being our age really doesn't help. I have also gained a few pounds and that could be part of my problem...then I am to unhappy to get out and excerise...lol.... it is a never ending circle...and of course, I am also a stress eater.....a big stress eater..... hmmmm, that could be my catalyst.....come to think of it, when I eat well, I feel better....I think I'll go out for a big salad later...haven't had one of those for awhile....to bad you two aren't in the neighborhood.....we could make it a luncheon. Our Olive garden here has a great bottomless salad...
I will get through this....thanks for being here you two.

It is staying lighter longer in the afternoons now, when I leave work now it is still light outside, SRING is only 3 weeks away and I will be going to the UK in about 8 weeks. Sping usually cheers me up (during the winter I feel like a troglodyte, I hardly see the light of day) it's my favourite season, things start blooming again.

I love to get out and walk in the spring. It is still cool enough to wear a jacket and you don't get overheated. I have a great neighborhood to walk in......maybe I'll walk today or maybe run down to the beach and walk there....

We are back in the deep freeze here again. I got out and walked a little yesterday....had been cooped up in the house all day Saturday...the local Fan Force had a Jedi Robe making workshop at my house that went for 12 hours....felt good to be outside yesterday for awhile...then I went to work on finishing my new robe.

I think it is so great that you have people to do things with. Although I know people in my town, I don't have any friends here at all. Days go by and I won't see one person. It seems that ever since I hurt my shoulder, I am not useful to anyone, unless I have a roleplaying game at my house. But even with my Star Trek group, they don't call and wonder where I am if I miss a meeting. They don't let me know when they are going to do a group thing. My son and daughter tell me not to do anything for them anymore and to get out and meet some new people. I am going to join a renanissance group. We shall see how that goes.

OK...possible good news here........I am pending for a position at a large Cardiologist Consulting Firm. They liked my resume and said I'll be starting work within two weeks....They have 4 offices and 22 doctors in the offices....It'll be nice to have a life again........ Wish me luck, cause I am holding my breath.
