Thursday

Jeez whiz.  Talking to my neighbor again.  Got to stop doing that.  Annoys the hell out of me.  I am trying to lose a few pounds before my trip.  We were talking about chips (crisps) being my downfall.  She couldn't understand.  She says she eats 3 to 5 chips then puts the bag away.  A bag lasts her a month.  Who in their right mind eats 3 or 5 chips only?  Her daughter inherited a house from her father (ex-husband) and all I hear is We have to get the gutters cleaned.  She has to cut the grass before it rains, she has to do this, blah blah.  She doesn't live with her daughter.  I keep telling her it's the daughters house, but it goes right over her head.  Who died and left you in charge of everyone? Sorry, my little rant for the week.

We moved the equivalent of a small office this morning.  Of course, it had to be on the 4th floor.  Up and down 3 flights of stairs numerous times.  Then moving tables and shelves.  Nice hot bath tonight to ease the muscles. 

Strange, I feel closer to people I have met this year on FB than people I have known for 20+ years.  Though one person on FB is starting to annoy the hell out of me.  Might be a really nice person, but B comes off as being very yuppie and shallow.

My son will be 35 next week.  My god, how did that happen? 

Other than that, nothing much else happening.

Have a great Friday and weekend, my friends.

I don't understand your neighbour at all. I can't open anything and only eat 2 or 3. What's the point you are going to eat them anyway why not just get it over and done with and enjoy them. They would be pretty stale and uninviting after a month I think. Maybe she is just trying to rub it in that the daughter has her own house or maybe that is all she has in her life to talk about, no real life of her own possibly. We have Kettle chips here and once Istart on them forget it I just have to finish them off, ha. Not strong when it comes to chips at all. Hope you muscles are feeling somewhat better after all the moving office, doesn't sound like a lot of fun. I have been off for my weekly visit to the chiropractor this morning, my tennis elbow is playing up so he worked on that. Not sure who B is but I think I may have an idea as I don't see any likes or comments from you. Your son 35, doesn't that make you feel OLD, Lauren was 31 last May and I can't believe the years have passed so quickly. Julie xx

I am the same way with chips, love kettle chips. No, she's not trying to rub it in that her daughter has a house, she just likes to dictate what everyone should be doing, and how. Annoying, but I just listen and forget after a bit.

Muscles are fine, it was my knees from going up and down the stairs. Arthritis sucks.

Yeah, am feeling a bit OLD, but hey, I still have a few good years left. :-)

It has been a strange day, weather wise.  Woke up to pouring rain, then beautiful sunshine, the pouring rain again.  Weird.  I am really missing Mumbushi this week.  Loved that little guy.  FB is getting a little weird.  We had a really nice group, then it grew.  In some ways it is a little better, in some ways, I liked the group we had.  Can you tell I don't like change too much?  I think I am just feeling too sentimental tonight.  Missing all my babies and can't wait to see them.  Mumbushi was only with us a short time, but he touched a lot of lives.  I am so sorry I never got to meet him.  Oh, Lord, the tears are starting. A little upset tonight.  Maybe I am being a little petty, but I don't care.  My son's girlfriend's family want to throw a birthday party for him tomorrow.  This is great.  However, for his birthday, he borrowed my car to go to a wedding, and stayed there overnight.  Just came back this evening, so no time to really do anything for him.  Now t

Ah, another week has gone by.  16 days left before I leave.  I realized today that it is not traveling that I am nervous about.  I think I have this fairy tale opinion of Africa that I had had since I was a kid.  I have dreamed of going for so long.  But with all that's going on, my views have shattered.   I always thought of Africa as deep jungles, lost rivers and exotic locations.  Maybe it was like that when I was a kid, but that was 45 years ago.  A lot changes in that time. Back to work tomorrow.  The weekend was a complete write-off.  Pouring rain, cold, miserable.  But I got a lot done.  Washed all the bedding from the guests last week.  So everything is good. Long weekend next week.  Our Thanksgiving.  I am invited to the "future in-laws??" for dinner.  Am looking forward to it.  Such a great family.  I am so glad Greg met Allie.  She is a wonderful girl (woman). Anyhow, I am all packed.  I think I have my luggage at the good weight.  I had to fix one of my

Have been doing a lot of thinking tonight.  I realize I can hold a grudge.  In my life, I have been abandoned by 2 mothers and a father.  However both mothers decided to come back into my life around the same time.  And it was a case of "let's forget about what was and there was nothing in the middle".  Everything is normal, we go on as if nothing happened.  Excuse me, but FUCK THAT.  I am not going to forget everything and just act like everything is normal.  I hate swearing, but there are a few times when it is warranted and this is one of them. Sorry for the rant.  It just really ticks me off that they expect me to be available when they decide to show up, like it's a family obligation.  There has never actually been a family situation. O.k. I have gotten it out of my system.  Deep breaths.  Relax.  Done. How are all my friends today?  Hope you are having a great week.  Just took Kayla for her walk.  We had a storm a little earlier this evening and when we we
