    (((hugs))) to those who need them.

    Well, I hope you're right, Karen, and I hope he peeks at it more and more often that it comes through more clearly sooner than later. Of course you have faith in him. All mothers have faith in their children.

    What a wonderful adventure, Tracey! I've been so hungry for fish and chips, no even moreso. I hope your "feelings" don't come true.

    Debbie, I just don't know how you put up with it. I just don't. I have a hard time putting up with my brother and SIL and that's just from a distance. The oldest brother and SIL are wonderful, but the youngest is full of himself and so is his wife. They do as little as possible for our mom and take as much credit as they can.

    Michele, my doctor told me that my sinus headaches were actually migraines that were undiagnosed for years. Figures.

    18-Share about a recent book you read and what you learned... My Grandmother Asked Me to Tell You She's Sorry, taking me forever to read, very... interesting, but jumps everywhere. Written by the same author as A Man Called Ove so I thought I'd love it, but it's a tough read. But truthfully, when I get through, I think I'll like it. Has feelings of "never grow up and never stop believing".
    Love and Blessings, Carla, in MN

    Machka... that is a stunning photo of your rose!



    Debbie ... you are right that your MIL would most likely be kicked out of senior living settings if she became mean. There have been clauses in every contract that I've signed for my mom in regards to "community behavior." I wonder, though, if she would show others her poor side. There's lots of complaining/behavior that goes on with family that never goes on with "strangers."

    She can be nice as long as everything is going the way she wants. When someone tells her no,first she says she doesn't understand them then she gets mad and mean. She is only nice when it benefits her.
    That is why she no longer has any friends. The only one that is around, and she isn't around as much, thankfully, is the coworker of her other son. She is just there with her hand out. She would take MIL out shopping but expect MIL to not only pay for their lunch(and the lady eats a LOT and MIL eats very little) but also for her stuff when they are at the store. MIL started it by offering to pay and Sophia jumped on it and still continues to not pay for anything. She expects MIL to either cook a big meal if she comes over or MIL to pay if she picks up food(or, has dh pick up food for them).
    MIL talks *kitten* about her as soon as she leaves and for the next week but won't tell her not to come over.
    For some reason though, if Sophia says something,it has to be true, if dh says the same thing, he is lying to her. Very annoying

    Hello ladies!
    I got my taxes done, Yay! For some reason it was extra mysterious this year. For example, TurboTax asked me what was in box 16 and there was no box 16. I did my best so I just have to let it go.

    Good evening ladies!
    I ate 1159, and walked a little extra, for a calorie deficit of 316. Yay! And I did thirty reps of my dumbbells. Yay! So it was a good day for me. Hope you all are doing well.

    Our son came to visit us & we had a good time with him. He has gone home and is now at home with his wife and little boys. ❤️

    Ginny- yes Taliah was born a girl and decided in 7-8th grade that being a boy was better,i dont know if they had a class or an assembly on it but it seems a whole bunch of the girls decided to become boys so,I dont know if its for attention, or what.. but Carmine has been mean and horrible to anyone for the last few years..ans only getting worse..
    Tracy and Kyle want Taliah back and not this mean nasty foul mouthed teeneager that doesn't care about himself or anyone else.
    So here is hoping that they can at least get him on some type of anti depressant or something poor kid..

    Could be hormones.

    I was a wolverine for about a week before my periods back in those days.

    Have they taken them to a GP for a full check-up?
    Also here, you can get your GP to do a recommendation for 5 discounted allied health treatments. Allied health includes things like psychologists, physiotherapists, etc. Maybe something like that is available where you are?

    :) One of the luxuries I allow myself is paying an accountant to prepare our tax return. I gather up all the documents and numbers and send them to her and she fills in all the blanks and mails it back to us for a signature. It arrived today ready for us to sign.

    We also use an accountant for our taxes ... most people here do.

    :oAllie, Carmine is a teenager living with a parent with severe anger problems and parents who put all their energy into acquiring another child who has messed with family routine, cost a lot of money, and can seemingly do no wrong. That's a tough place to be.

    *Insightful*

    I used to do our taxes without help, reading that ridiculous book they used to send out each year. But when computers and tax software became available, I “splurged.” I am, at heart, a tightwad! :D My mother’s taxes, however, will be sent to her longtime accountant.

    Did a Crunch Fitness Total Body Bootcamp DVD. The plan for tomorrow is to do a Yoga for Inflexible people DVD. Then we leave for the races.

    I didn’t realize that Vince wanted to see not only the Arca race but also the Xfinity, so we didn’t get home until almost 9:30. I just find it somewhat funny that Kyle Bush is now driving for a pot company. We were talking about how Mars used to give out free samples of candy. Maybe 3Chia will give out free samples of pot?????lol

    Looks like we’ll need a new dishwasher. Well, this one is probably the original. When we ran it yesterday you can smell a burning rubber smell. We can’t figure out where it’s coming from. Vince said that tonight (we ran it last night) you can still smell it. So he’d like to go looking for a new dishwasher Monday. We probably won’t get a top-of-the-line one since we only use it a few times a year.

    Amazon has the Birkenstocks that I like in my size at a fairly reasonable price. Vince said “that’s expensive” but my last pair lasted about 8 years so it’s worth the money. But….I do need to find out if the seller ships by the post office. If it was Amazon delivering it, I’d have it shipped here. But if he ships via the post office, we don’t have mail delivered here and the post office may not deliver them since they know that we don’t get mail. I hope he doesn’t

    Allie – prayers for Carmine. Wonder why such a shift?

    Debbie – prayers for Destiny. She’s such a trooper. Puts me to shame with all she’s going thru at such a young age.

    Got my food ready to take tomorrow and logged it. Want to get to bed now.

    Check on the heating element to make sure no plastic fell on it. I always knew if the lids to the sippy cups fell on the element. Lost quite a few lids over the years

    Time to sort through my winter clothes and discard some items before I switch seasons. No point in storing items I no longer wear, and let go of some old favourites that are past their best.

    (((Destiny)))

    (((Carmine))) Young people have so many pressures these days. I hope you can get them the help they need.

    DYD has been doing our taxes for many years. We won’t have to put in a tax return after our last one, as all our income is now taxed at source. She will keep an eye on things for us.

    Weather yesterday was showery so no gardening. We decluttered one of our filing cabinets, shredded sensitive stuff for the compost heap, and filled a large tote for the recycle bin.

    Intentions for today:
    📍Declutter wardrobe
    📍laundry
    📍family Skype
    📍Latin translation
    📍prep for gynae appointment tomorrow
    📍solid habits

    Virtual (((hugs))) and 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 for all those those who need them.

    🙋‍♀️ Miele failte to the newbies.

    ☘️ Terri
