Six Days

 I'm listening to Cyndi Lauper, trying to drown out the sounds of the dudes just outside my window putting the foundation frames up for the garage. Apparently it involves lots of pounding.

Listing more stuff on E-Bay.

Getting ready to e-mail Youngest Child's Art teacher back at CCV. She seems super nice and very inclusive of all learning capabilities and levels. A definite plus in our book!

After ordering a new phone and being informed that my new (refurbished) phone is on the way, my phone decided to start behaving itself. Because of course it did.😕

Freddi and I have a date with the Vet in a couple of hours to get her nails trimmed. And then since we're already right next to the bike path, a quick walk before we come home.

That Time My Gallbladder Tried To Kill me

Image
  It's Friday! Which in the grand scheme of things doesn't mean much since none of us has a regular Monday through Friday schedule anymore. Every time I get a notice from the school that there is a two hour delay, or notices of field trips or ski outings to Burke Mountain I breathe a sigh of relief. These updates no longer apply to us. Instead we are in a state of limbo. Still one foot in the school system, in that Youngest Child is registered as a home schooler, attending after school groups such as D&D, and accessing his second voucher for a class at CCV for the Spring semester. Technically this is his senior year, class of 2024. Which seemed so far away when it was first established  more than a decade ago. As a side note, I always found it weird how students are identified with their graduation year much in the same way inmates are identified by a number. If I really feel like having an in depth and very interesting conversation about this I should bring it up to Young...

Who, What, Where, When and Why?

Image
  Lately I have been having a bit of an existential crisis. Why am I here? Specifically at this junction of my life. My youngest will be turning 18 in the fall. So theoretically I am soon to be an empty nester. Realistically I will not be there any time soon. If ever. Although we are in the home stretch with High School. And from there a little more flexibility. Why have I not figured out what I am going to be when I grow up? Which brings me to what. What am I going to do? Who am I? Besides a daughter, wife, mother, friend. Where am I going? Lately with all that has been coming up from my past, maybe I need to figure out where I have been. When will I ever get my shit together? And how? I have said numerous times before that I can't tell (write) my story until my parents are dead because telling my story would involve them, and not always in a favorable light. And when I had said that it was before my dad had come back into my life after a long hiatus. Before I knew some of the det...

Sunday Morning Lethargy

Image
  I'm watching my Sunday Morning tv as I sip my tea, trying not to think about how my decaf tea isn't the same as fully caffeinated coffee. There will be no energy surge once the caffeine hits my bloodstream. And I am coming to accept that this is okay. After making it through almost a week of caffeine withdrawal, headaches and lack of focus, I am now appreciating the lack of tightness in my chest (anxiety) if I decided to have that one extra cup. Or sometimes the stomach upset. Baby steps, hopefully leading to big changes. Still working on the no sugar and gluten free part. This morning I rolled out of bed, pulled on leggings and a sweater, put wood in the stove, and let the chickens out on the way to the car with Freddi. 8:00 a.m. at the Jaquith to meet Stephany for a walk. And we were ON TIME!! I'm working on being more punctual. Because it feels so much better to be on time than it does to be late! Anywho............. It was a nice short walk and I'm glad that that ...
