also i MUST have a deep seated trust in the legal system because i spent thousands last year dolling up the inside of my home for the inevitabilty of ' nick ' . when he arrives hes going to find a couple of christmas gifts that were never realized and a warm winter hat that might be too small for him by then . then hes going to realize that his mother and grandmother havent been honest with him .
he would be justified in never taking them at their word again .
thats the way dishonesty works . your words become meaningless .

my plan for the day is pretty meager . i hope to cut up a bunch of lumber scraps and fill up the kindling rack . while putting on a metal roof this summer i added two layers of r 13 insulation to the attic . i also installed an electric furnace this year . i dont want to hear that sucker blowing much but its sure nice for these times when lighting a morning or evening fire is more trouble than its worth .

1) my parents are in town for the weekend. Today is moms birthday. I am very thankful for the wonderful friends she made working at the hospital. 8 of them got together & took mom out for lunch today and they had a wonderful time. I cried seeing the pictures on Facebook. The lady that posted them said “she was my boss and is now a life long friend”. Really makes me happy that they keep in touch with my mom even though she’s moved away and it’s been years since they all worked at the clinic. She really needed this day too, to be with her friends.


2)we went out to dinner for moms birthday tonight and had a good time. First time in years that we’ve gotten to spend her birthday with Her. However we walked out of the restaurant tonight and right in to the cameramen for a certain very popular TV show. I am SO GLAD taping was over for the night, whatever they were recording was done and over with & they were done recording for the night. I have absolutely no desire to be seen on TV hahaha!

3)husband is in a better mood and doesn’t seem to be giving me the silent treatment anymore!

1. Have a buyer for Mom's property (finally!). One more step to getting all of the estate stuff wrapped up, as it's been an ordeal.

2. Got groceries and washed and vacuumed out the car today.

3. Have a nice comfy blanket to wrap up in since we went from summer like temps to winter here overnight. Perfect excuse to wrap up and watch a good movie.

Wonderful thread, Anonymous. Thanks for starting it.

1. I get a break from watching my mom tomorrow. My brother and my aunt will cover for me.

2. My older teenage daughter is getting better at social skills. She has always been a loner and prefers solitude, but she's beginning to enjoy conversing with a couple of people. For her and for me, that's huge.

3. I managed to get enough sleep that I was able to function without needing a nap.

I finally joined my local YMCA. Went for AOA water aerobics, expecting little old ladies waving their hands in the air. I will be lucky if I can walk tomorrow! There are a bunch of real badass seniors in that downtown Brooklyn pool! And a real boot camp instructor. Welcome to the new old age!

Captain,

I am sure it is. I’ve waited for a lot of things in my lifetime and I wasn’t always patient either but the things I waited for even though they were important to me pale in comparison with what you are waiting for.

I wouldn’t dare insult you by pretending to understand how you feel. I can’t imagine and I wouldn’t wish it on anyone.

Promise me you will let us know when your nightmare or living hell is over. My grandpa used to say that heaven and hell are right here on earth. You know what? He was right.

I absolutely adored my grandpa. I spent a lot of time with him growing up and he spoke many words of wisdom. I didn’t quite understand everything he said when I was younger but that’s okay, because he knew that one day I would. He planted seeds to grow, food for thought and his words often come to my mind now and they certainly live in my heart. I feel that’s the kind of grandfather you would be.

My grandpa was larger than life to me. He was the kind of guy that anywhere you went with him, everybody knew him. That was cool but what I especially remember from my earliest years until his death he always proudly introduced me to everyone he knew. I felt so special when I was with him. He was a kind and generous man. I don’t mean that in a materialistic way, although he did help others when he could, but generous with the gift of self, his heart, which is most important.

Captain,

I am going to have hope with you if you don’t mind. Your situation breaks my heart. I have a feeling that you would be a phenomenal grandfather. Many hugs!

I admire your faith and hope and your desire for justice. So I am going to believe right along with you, okay? 💗 Transitional times are the hardest but one day, one very sweet day, it will happen. I believe it and I know you do too. When it does happen I sincerely hope that you will find peace. You deserve it.

Tothil,

My happy moment was reading that you saw the ultrasound of your grandchild. How wonderful!

I don’t have grandchildren but I have a granddog. My daughter has the cutest little toy poodle that I watch for her sometimes. This little dog thinks he’s human. Hahaha

Is this your first grandchild?

I'll bite.
I cooked a nice meal today. Don't usually do that.

I did the first part of cleaning my oven, been putting it off too long. It is with the baking soda paste method so it has to sit til in the a.m. then I finish.

My nice neighbor lady stopped by and we had a nice chat.

Great post and often used in therapy.

My good things:

I am caught up on laundry, except the sheets.

I baked for the first time in 2 months.

I saw an ultrasound photo of my first grandchild today. The baby will be here in March.
