not anymore. After the last two weekends at the lake I'd say I'm Bronze.
I just wanted to tell you all I'm having summer fun with good family and friends and that I'm ok. I still have my occasional cry but that's ok isn't it?

I am going to have to start completely over witg my Brugs - probably can't get a decent cutting from my existing. The bag Russ sent me got gooed with purple wax and everything in it was ruined. And now I have an upper respitory virus/soar throat going on. Isn't life grand!
But you have all been family to me like the Forshees. You have treated me like your sister. That is priceless. Love you all.
Karrie
Ummmmmm I'm not Pepto Pink
Glad to hear you are hanging in there and having a little fun. Crying in your situation is healthy and good for you. It helps to get all the gunk out and after a good cry the tension leaves our faces. And then you look simply marvelous!
Don't worry about the other, it will be as it is and if he does'nt want to do right by you, so much the pity on him. What goes around comes around but it does not have to come from you, there is a higher power and order keeping balance in the universe. All the other things can be replaced as your dignity and self esteem is restored. Make a new garden and dedicate it to the growth of a new you, as it thrives so shall you. I have more brugs than any sane human should be growing and you are welcome to cuttings of them all plus a whole bunch of other cool stuff. Just LMK when and where.
Been there, done that, lived through it,

Thank you Loretta. I will when I am ready and prepared. I'm a good Brug mom and know when you simply don't have the room. Where I'm at now does, but this is like a 2 month temporary w/o a greenhouse. Wish I could see my blooming Cherokee.
self esteem and dignity - that's it!
self esteem and dignity = our soul
May the Good Lord bless and keep you safe.

Sorry to hear you are sick Karrie, but glad you are getting in some summer fun at the lake. You deserve a little bit of relaxation after all you have been though. Take care and know we are all thinking of you.
Karrie,
When you are ready for some brugs again PM me and I will set you up. Just try to relax and enjoy the rest of your summer.
Jeremiah
Karrie just relax, and enjoy, I may have cuttings available when your ready.
Loretta said it all. Take care of yourself Karrie. I know it is hard to believe but things will be so much better and you are probably already seeing that it is.
Take care of yourself, Karrie! We are here when you are ready to come back. Please e-mail if you need some cuttings.
Karrie..you sound GREAT! Keep it UP, Girl....you GO!
I have lots of suckers I will start for you...Maya, P&C ...you name it!!! Just let me know, too!
Carol
Glad you're doing better! Life will be sweeter someday and this will be just a road bump along the way.
Mary
God bless you Karrie, I have been there too. It does get better every day. Keep doing small things for yourself and always, ALWAYS, know you are worth whatever it takes !! Just keep putting one foot in front of the other. Remember, it's the entire trip, not just the destination.
I have quite a few Brugs also. Would be happy to root some cuttings or send you the cuttings to root...it's so much fun to watch the leaves apear and know something incredible is going on that we can't see. We just know it is.
God bless you,
Margo
Hi Karrie,
So glad you are having fun! All the brugs you had and more will be replaced. Don't worry about that. Just give us a shout when you want to start.
XOXOXOXO,
Daisy
thank you all - I would love to be there in it next year, but it may not be possible - apartment living doesn't offer the space or conditions. But believe me, I will be there BEGGING when the time comes.
Today was a hard day for me. But after seeing these posts, and emails, I have to say I feel alot better. My face is dry! I'm not weeping or bawling anymore!
I sure wish I could help my dear new roommate. Seems to me like we were meant to be, but I just don't understand why she cries over some things. I'm trying to deal with my issues and hers as well, and it is hard. But we talk and cry together, so I'm hoping this is a good thing. I'm going to get a counselor for myself, for depression. My doctor today asked me if I'd like that and I thought it over and said yes - I think that is a good idea. Crying for a month is too long. I'm on a grant and it will be paid for unless I get a job. Unforunately, if I get a job I lose all the benefits. What a fix they put you in when you need them the most. I need a job! hello! Always catch 22's ya know?
Love you all,
Karebear
