401 pm, pouring down raining, cold and raw. Getting dark already. Why do people live in the north?

HippieChick58 comments on Nov 12, 2018:

Everybody has to live somewhere. South has got too much heat and humidity, and skeeters the size of B52s. I live here because at some point in history German immigrants were offered cheap land and my grandparents ended up here to farm that cheap land. Though I have lived elsewhere including Europe and Japan, I ended up 50 miles from where I was born.

I wish I could snap my fingers and make anxiety go away.

HippieChick58 comments on Nov 12, 2018:

All the damn time. The best non medication I've found for anxiety is meditation. I am amazed at how much better I'm sleeping and dealing with the uncertainty in my life. (Yeah, I call it "retirement" but it is actually unemployment and I'm really not in a hurry to find a job, but money, y'know.) I've dealt with anxiety for years, and years. I've done meds, they had some interesting side effects. I have an app on my phone called "CALM". It was recommended to my daughter by her psychiatrist when she was having panic attacks just prior to, during, and after childbirth. CALM is a guided meditation, and wow. It helps so much!

I have not put up a tree in several years. I have had no visitors during the season so why bother. Now that I have two active little pin heads... I think I will maintain the status quo. I adore my girls, but they get into enough stuff as it is, they really, and I do mean really don't need any more toys.

What dog breed is your favourite and why?

HippieChick58 comments on Nov 11, 2018:

When my youngest daughter was 4, and her sisters 7 and 11 we got a Golden Retriever puppy. His puppy and adolescent days were hard, but he grew into the BEST DOG EVER! I loved training him. My troubled and troublesome child told him all her secrets, he was better than a therapist for her and I so wish I could have planted a recorder on him. He was the son I never gave birth to, and the best brother the girls ever had. I'd like to get another dog one day, but not something that big.

HippieChick58 comments on Nov 11, 2018:

We had snow a few days ago. I opened the sliding door to the deck and let one of the cats go out. She kept looking at her feet as she walked to the steps to the yard. She stopped, looked at the yard, and at her feet, and at me standing in the door. It was like I could see the wheels turning. She bolted back for the door where I was, enough of that cold white stuff! She found the nearest warm surface and cuddled up.

HippieChick58 comments on Nov 11, 2018:

I just had lunch with my Humanists Book Club. We meet every Sunday at an Irish Pub. Many of the group are active duty or veterans. Several had been out earlier to take advantage of freebies. Most of the freebies were coffees and donuts type of things. I have given up sugar, so I did not feel the need for the temptation of those gifts.

As an adult I can quite literally do whatever I want to.

Now, I think I will be able to make adjustments so I can live with someone else, however the fundamental me is still going to be as I am. I like my hobbies, I need me time every day.
