Not much Posting Going on Here

I find it hard to sit myself down to post. The weather has been so nice and we have been out enjoying it.  Being from Vancouver island we get a LOT of rain.  We do live in a Rain Forest!  When it is not raining I walk around all confused and I don't know what to do with myself.  I am not a lover of sun on my skin so I stay in the shade.  No tan lines here!  We have been working very hard on the renovations on the house and we are getting close to the end.  
Today I purchased a beautiful second hand love seat.  It is so comfortable! Here are the pictures. It is a micro-suede double recliner.  I could sleep on it.  I am not very tall and I find a lot of sofas don't fit me in the right places.  This one is perfect! And the best part is I go it off Kijiji for only $125.00!           
Trying to lose some weight, well not some but rather a lot.  I have let myself get fat.  I am using SparkPeople. Awesome site when you get used to it.  I have a button over there ---> if you want to take a look. 

My mom has been very sick this week but we are coming up to the 4 month mark of being told she had 2 -3 months to live.  I went to see her the other day and I cried so hard I couldn't breathe.  She rubbed my back and told me how much she loves me and that she will always be near.  She told me I was the best thing that ever happened to her.  Oh, I need her here still!
OK, it is 2:30 am here and I am going to attempt to sleep again.

  3. Be gentle with yourself about getting rounded, it's just protection. Don't add to your woes by feeling bad about it, you seem to me to be perfectly acceptable in whatever form. x

  4. The last time I saw my girlfriend before she died, I burst into tears. She had to comfort me. It's funny how that works, the dying comforting those left behind and yet it seems so.

    Sending a hug woman.

  5. Gonna check this site out. Been trying to drop some pounds myself. That recliner looks amazing but probably isn't doing any favors in that department.

  7. Never mind about not posting much; enjoy as much of the sun as you can get. Look after yourself, that's much more important.

  8. Your new couch looks great! I too am not posting too much. In the summer I like to enjoy the sunshine as much as I can. Take care.

  9. Dear Birdie- Your Mum WILL always be near, no matter when she leaves on her journey. Love does not die; there are no limits to love in time and space.
    Your lovely comfy "love seat" will be a place of comfort and solace and don't worry about the 'insulation' just now. It will come off when you are ready for it.

  12. "I went to see her the other day and I cried so hard I couldn't breathe. She rubbed my back and told me how much she loves me and that she will always be near. She told me I was the best thing that ever happened to her."

    This made me breathless and caught my heart. What a gift this is for a daughter to hear. What a mother who continues to give so much while she is enduring such suffering.

    I am thinking of you and your mom with both saddness and gratitude for all that you have shared with each other.
