Kristi Karnopp's Diary & Blog

I got up about 8 a.m. (9 a.m. WI) this morning and got my workout clothes on for working out at Gold’s Gym with my mom this morning. According to the scale at Mom’s I am 182 lbs and I am still losing weight. At the gym I walked 4 laps on the treadmill and 1/2 mile on the stationary bike. I feel so good! Today is my 33rd birthday and yet I do not feel older, lol. The only thing I have noticed is that the bike asked for my age and I put in 33 not 32, lol. Got to run and take a ride with Mom…errands to run and things to do. More later!!!

Today was a fabulous day! Slept in until 11 a.m. WI time, 10 a.m. NM time. After getting up I took a shower to clean up and get dressed for the day. Had breakfast and went to run errands w/ my mom. We went to a jeweler’s and got my Grandpa Clarence’s wedding ring sized from 10 1/2 to 6 1/2 for me to have. Then we went to Wal-Mart to do some clothes shopping for my birthday present from everyone here. Then at supper we went to a friend’s house (Mom’s friend) for a birthday dinner for me. Then Mom and I got home shortly before 9 p.m.. It was a fine day.

Dearest Alaina,

I would like to thank you for your words/comments at my journal here. I am having LOADS of fun and it is only the first full day I have been here, LOL… My mom and I went to Wal-Mart, which they have a Wal-Mart Superstore here in NM. I, too, even though Emilee is fine, miss her terribly but I have my brother and sister pups here to keep me smiling. We are going to celebrate my 33rd birthday later at a friend of my mom’s as my b-day is really tomorrow the 3rd of July. More news later, okay. It won’t be long before we go to that friend’s house. Love ya lots as always, my spirit full of understanding and sunshine – my friend always!

Love, Kristi “Ksmiley”

PS. Have a good day, okay? Write later!

It has been a good day. My travels to NM were good today. I will be with myu mom for 7 days in NM. My stepfather too of course! LOL The travel from Janesville WI to Chicago O’Hare Airport was good but it has been a very very long day for me. I have been up since 3 a.m. this morning as I went to the airport by 4:30 a.m.. I will keep everything updated as much as I can while I am in NM visiting Mom and Lonnie.

Due to bad weather coming I can not be on line much longer. I will have to wait and see about writing tomorrow.

Am I Snapping Out of It?

I did not take any calls today. As a matter of fact, I had two calls come in today. Peaceful? Yes but am I snapping out of this reverie I have been stuck in for a few days or more. I can not even count now because there has been too many days of a low feeling in me. Even my friend RH did not perk me up and that is why I did not answer the phone to his call. Living here has been really hellish and emotional. Too many people here taking over and it is driving a few of us crazy. Too many backstabbers and idiots living here. I can only trust three people inside and the management on the outside and that is two people. We are living in a world that is getting so crazy and out of control. I can not isolate myself from the world … beyond the front door anymore but it is so easy to do that if you knew this place. Am I snapping out of it? I hope so to be very honest with you… I can not stand it anymore the craziness I feel. At least I am still sane if sane is the right word. I am seeking help from someone professional – a counselor – for my emotional needs and it has been helping greatly.
