I've been depressed, hot, sweaty, tired and cranky lately. Welcome to menopause.

I need to drag my ass out of this slump.

Things I'm thankful for today.

A doctor who listened to me today.
Pulled pork and coleslaw for supper.
I get to go back to this meadow again this August.
Hugs and love from the big guy.
My health.
Melting snow and sunshine.
My children.
My daughter is coming out to visit in May.
A dishwasher that cleans the dishes while I sit and type.
Friends.

What are you thankful for today?

I am thankful for the reminder that I need to be thankful!

And antibiotics.

I hear you on the menopause thing. My hot flashes are finally starting to calm down after 9 years. I don't think i'll ever be able to wear a turtleneck or a pullover sweater again.

I'm thankful for an old friend, music and his gravelly voice.

A few people have wondered about Jack and his back story, not sure how things have gotten to where they are now, so thought I would share. Jack is the son of my son and a woman he was with briefly. Both my son and Jack's mom are/were alcoholics and drug addicts. We have been caring for Jack, off and on, since he was born. In October 2021, Jack was taken into foster care briefly, when his mom was arrested for assaulting him. Since then we were appointed guardians, along with his maternal grandma and aunt. My son hasn't had contact with his son in almost three years, and he's in and out of jail on a regular basis. Jack's mom has been in rehab a couple of times and is trying to get her life back. Sadly, she also seems to have some mental illness which makes her very difficult to deal with, and I think that's why she self medicates with drugs and alcohol.
