Yay I’m so excited! My ex MIL (first husband’s mother) is taking my son from July 8-11 for a small staycation at her house. She is going to be taking him on a few day trips. But that means that RS and I can also take a child-free vacation! First time since our mini-moon back in Oct 2021. We’re going out to a bed and breakfast in Lancaster PA. I wanted to go to the shore but it was way too expensive. We’ll have fun in Lancaster, there’s lots of flea markets, farms, and pretty trail systems to walk through. I also sprung for the room with the private hot tub it wasn’t that expensive for two nights.

I did forget that ESY would be running so I’ll have to take off those two days. But though I might get reprimanded I’m sure I won’t get fired. It’s just ESY and I’m sure they won’t fire me for the regular school year over missing two days of ESY. They’re too desperate for people and I signed a contract already.

My brother finally told me that my nephew’s baptism is TOMORROW. He said he forgot to tell our family but I think he just didn’t want us there. I really don’t care anymore, if he refuses to seek therapy to deal with all his anger and resentment I have no control over that. I know my mom was extremely neglectful and emotionally unstable and she deserves all that anger. Especially considering she also refuses to seek therapy or medication so she’s still emotionally unstable. But I personally didn’t do anything wrong so idk why he doesn’t want to talk to me. But like I said it’s really not in my control so there’s no reason to be upset about it anymore. It is what it is.

So I will be attending the baptism tomorrow. I offered to transport my grandma but she’s still a little shaky from the minor stroke, plus she’s now dealing with arthritis in her knees plus the neuropathy in her leg and foot from her back surgery. So I’m not sure she’ll be up for it. She’s gonna let me know later today.

Mentally I honestly can’t believe how stable I am. It’s been so long since I’ve felt so…normal. I think the exercise is helping as well as the maintenance ECT. I didn’t get to exercise yesterday, we were running about all evening so I ran out of time. Today I’m going to attempt to go for a walk but there’s storms moving through so I’ll have to wait. I can’t leave CR home alone during a storm (he’s terrified of them) so I can’t go to the gym until RS comes home from work.

Only 3 half days left!
