Greenguy's Board - View Single Post - Monday September 9th (aka This Board Feels Pointless)

I do stop by daily but rarely post. Our lives here are pleasantly boring - not as boring as your mom's but still pretty much the same from one day to the next. I kind of like that. Before i left the US, it was work, eat, work sleep, repeat. Yes, I did go out for live music every chance I got but it was still the same routine.

I have been thinking the same thing with my mom, who turns 93 in just about 2 weeks. She gets more frail every year but is very healthy. She has outlived her ex-husband and her two youngest children. I worry that after this visit she will feel she has nothing to live for and give up. Her granddaughter conned some serious money out of her and has been disowned by everyone. Her great-grandchildren rarely pause in their lives to visit her. She has her cat and her folk dance friends but very little else. It scares me. She does get on Facebook from time to time. She has a masters in gerontology, so she certainly knows she needs to keep her mind active. We have already told her she will be speaking Finnish to us. It's her native language but she rarely uses it. But she has no purpose in life and that is what will drain her.

Eyes are healing but my vision isn't quite 100% yet. My real close vision (like for needlework or reading) is great. However, the computer and I are still not really good friends again. I can tell I will be getting glasses for that and for distance as well. I seem to do better right now approving galleries and updating my network so I have been focusing my energies in that direction. Thanks to a nudge from someone on this board, I have managed 4 straight days of 30+ galleries added. i think that will increase a bit too as I get more organized and my vision settles down a bit more. I can't wait to get building again!!! I think I like that the best.

I am also in my mad-crazy season of making Christmas ornaments that will go to Ronald McDonald House. I started this years ago as a way of coping with my depression. Got to have something to do besides porn, right?

See what happens when I stop long enough to post? Did I ramble enough?
