Getting sick with pneumonia has shown me that I'm not good at getting older. I've been strong and healthy all my life-until now-and I've been denying it. I thought I was recovered, but today I slept for most of the day, and I'm still tired.

I had that a few years ago and was tired and drained for at least a couple of weeks. Sleep is always a good antidote for what ails you. I will pray that you recover completely over the next couple of days.

Thanks. I thought I was healed, then I slept about 20 hours the next day.
 
Today is D Day. Not a tragedy at all. I don't know why anyone would say that. It is cause for celebration. I am moving forward in my life, and actually have something to look forward to, someone I love and want to share the rest of my life with, who feels the same about me. Praise the Lord, for He is good, His love endures forever! :love:

I have been thinking about making fudge also o_O:giggle::geek:
I made a lot of very good fudge as a teen :D

Haha, so it has been a while but the critical part of making fudge is
not to over-mix it, pouring from the pot to the pan at the right time :unsure::whistle::geek::love:

My D day was July 12, 1984. Looking back, it was a happy day for me too as I was now free from that wretched woman.

The pouring from the pot to the pan is the most stressful part. I used to make fudge all of the time. You are suppose to stir it when it cools until is loses its gloss but at that point you have about 10 seconds to pour it in the pan and spread it out. I usually use a candy thermometer but have tried the cold water soft ball test with good results too.

I never used a thermometer, I just went by look and feel of viscosity as it was being mixed, and then poured at just the right moment. I think chocolate pecan may be on the agenda/menu when I next get around to making fudge. (Bob likes pistachios :D:love: I like many different kinds of nuts, and we both like chocolate :)) I was looking up recipes the other night when Bob and I were discussing fudge… because all I remember being in it was white and brown sugar, and butter. Some recipes called for sweetened condensed milk o_O I think I will pass on that, though maybe a little would not be bad by adding to the overall creaminess of the texture. However, a well made fudge is already melt-in-your-mouth creamy sweet. Sweets for my sweet Bob will be a regular menu item :love:

Some people in my church had a strange reaction to all this as if thirty going on thirty one years of separation meant nothing. It bordered on offensive legalism to both Bob and I, but I cut them some slack because I know my pastors care for me, and they want the best for me. They have also heard much more of my "story/history" as it relates to this issue since then, and are more understanding and accepting. They have moved to desiring to give marriage counselling now :):love::D:love::)

Whatever the failings of my ex may be, he achieved almost sainthood in my eyes when he cared for his ailing mother in her declining years. He and my daughter are still living in his parents house as he cares for his dad, who will be 97 next month. His only sister lives with them also since she retired a few years ago, and there are more animals than people in the house except when I visit once a week to hang out with my daughter :giggle: You have probably seen pics of the dogs over the years :)

Despite a very rocky beginning to her life, I have quite a good relationship with my daughter. I do not know if I ever told you because I do not share a lot of my past often in this public forum, but she was born at twenty four weeks gestation weighing under a pound and a half at a time of my life when I did not want to be married at all following two first trimester miscarriages and a still birth that happened just before I got married. I do not like talking about my past. It is over and done, we have both moved on, and my life has completely changed a lot since then, starting when I firs got sober in 1994 (he is not), but especially since I was saved just over fourteen years ago.

I think I recall you or Darlene saying there have been premature births in your family, also...

Meeting Bob here and our coming to care for each other as we do is no less than a miracle to me :love: I feel so very blessed. God is more than good. The recent set back in our plans has not dampened my spirits. I have faith, and I praise His Holy Name.
