I'm going to keep my house warm - damn the money, and cook something good for me.

I'm also going to do something today (and I don't know what) to celebrate and honor my survival. I don't know what yet.

I fall down 7 times, I get up 8. Always. That merits some recognition. I will do that for myself.
good for you .here to having an awsome day of celebration and self care

Yes Apt. Not quite the same without you. You also get bonus points for being one of the very few people to encourage me with my application for the overseas program. It was a very scary process for me and I had to take a few risks just to get this far in the process. Means a lot that you gave a few encouraging words, particularly when I had no T around to help at all.

If you're too busy to be keeping up here, I'll have to tell you again when you're around and about.
Thanks for this!

I'm off for the night. Trying to go to bed a bit earlier because I'll have to start getting up at a normal time next week. I'm not doing too well so far!

Hope you all have a good day.

****. I have TWICE now written a post about my morning and it's disappeared. That is pretty much how my morning is going already. Electricity went out in 1/4 the house, tried to change the breaker in addition to the GFI outlet I already replaced and the only open place didn't have them. This morning, woke up to no heat in the house, even though H promised he was checking the propane (he admitted this morning he never did). Last night, had a huge sobbing meltdown and both my kids are like . My son thought someone had died because I never cry like that. Just got overwhelmed my therapy session being super hard, MC being super hard, feeling like this house is crappy and I am letting my children down, and I'm basically alone trying to earn money, fix stuff around here, and cannot rely on H to take literally less than TWO minutes to walk from where he parks his car to the propane tank to check it.

I was hoping when I got up this morning things would be better. I am going to get my daughter up and head in to my mother in law's later this morning. My son has an interview with a guy from Yale this morning, and then he and H will meet us for lunch with MIL. That'll be fun and will turn my mood around. Right?

Oh, MKAC.. I am so sorry to hear that your night and morning was so bad. I really hope that your day does get much better!

I miss Apt, too.

My sister is okay. Her friends are taking care of things at her place. My other sister is going to see her today. Me, I'm just pissed and opting out.

I'm off for the weekend to meet up with a bunch of friends for an evening of hugs, laughing, and general debauchery.

Coming from the perspective of someone who was just evaluated essentially by a machine.

No friggin' way.

I'll take a human as a therapist thank you.

Hey, my friends....

I'm doing ok, actually! Getting into the groove of things, I suppose. Waiting for the home nurse to get here so I can learn how to change the dressing on my moms drains. Oh lucky me!

I am still trying to demand a nurse's uniform to go along with these duties. No one should have to suction liver fluids, flush a person's liver, etc. without getting a cute uniform with butterflies or lady bugs on them. Or kitties. I love me some kitties.

I gotta get my car worked on today too....my car battery died, I think. It happened on Tuesday, but I haven't gotten around to doing anything about it. I need a span of a few hours to make sure I can get it running and to the shop...and to wait for it to get fixed...since I won't have a ride. Gotta try to jump it first though....which will be my first time ever jumping a car. I feel like such a weenie for never having done these things before. LOL

I have managed to do very little around my house this vacation.. I imagine my H is a bit annoyed with me. I have been doing a lot of running around, instead of staying home. And.. this morning, more the same. Kind of feel guilty.

I like to roll around on the floor with toddlers. I just don't listen to them. I don't find toddlers/children talking all that funny.
Remember I am an alien.

Live long and prosper.
Nanoo Nanoo.
SD goes home.

Aren't those phrases an alien would use? I use them all the time.
Coincidence? I think not.
Thanks for this!
