(((Allie))) — You are an excellent grandmother, and do your best for your grandchildren. Carmine needs to be able to tryout and choose the identity that fits best. You are accepting, and give Carmine the opportunity to decide. That is a valuable gift. ⭐️2

Because DH was so upset this morning when we were talking about death issues, I decided to lovingly give him time to vent and explain his feelings before dinner. The truth is, he isn't thinking logically because of his terrible experience with his previous partner, but I held my tongue and let him talk. It is so painful for him. I truly believe he felt a lot better after I gave him the time and space. He didn't want to talk about it initially, but that's just him. I think he feels a bit more heard.
Now for bed.

The attachments that it comes with. I have already tried the deshedding tool on yogi. Works great8 -
Debbie ... the photo of Destiny ... even with all that she is going through, she is just beautiful ...
Barbara ... TurboTax transferred everything, but then wanted me to do some verifying and then tell them that all was correct. Different from other years.
Karen ... hugs ...
Allie ... I confess that I don't begin to understand this gender identity thing, but I do recognize teenage hormones ...
Went to church and then spent the afternoon with my mom looking at very, very old photos. We were able to identify maybe 50% which was a lot better than I was anticipating and better yet, my mom enjoyed herself.

Thank you all for the prayers and thoughts for Destiny. They are all welcomed and appreciated.
When they got the call that she needed to go straight to the hospital for another transfusion, they were picking up her third chinchilla so she got to take it with her for her transfusion. I am sure that helped pass the time.
Hugs to all that need them
I used to do my own taxes when with former hubby. Current dh took over doing them when we got married. He does his mom's, our son's , used to do his aunts along with doing ours. He was going to file son's but will wait until the first of April because there is a new deduction/credit/?? for those 25 and over. Son turns 25 the end of March so just putting off filing a week will hopefully help him out. Not sure how much.
Everyone else's are very simple. Ours is more complicated because of the write offs, etc for the daycare business. He usually does ours last. He runs everyone's at least twice to make sure there are no errors.
Things have calmed down for now with MIL. Yesterday,DH have her a hair cut and helped her take a long shower so she felt really good. I warmed up her dinner and the dog's dinner while they were finishing up
She was actually kind of nice- asked how i was healing since the surgeries. I haven't seen her since before they removed the melanoma and had the reconstruction done.
She said it looked good. It is healing but not completely healed yet. Still bits of pain but not too bad. Still have part of the permanant marker line where they cut for the graft.
Have the house to myself this evening. Son got off work, came home and changed and went to his girlfriends house. He will be home later tonight-has to work tomorrow but off on Tues and going to go test drive the car he wants to buy.
Dh is going to the movies(same theater our son's truck was stolen from two weeks ago tonight but his friend is driving, not him). He has to be at work at 3AM so will go right to bed when he gets home.
No school tomorrow so I will have Ezie all day instead of half day. No walk at the wetlands or zumba for me. Will have to do a little extra on Tuesday or maybe find a friend that wants to walk the park tomorrow night to make up for no class.
No clue on what I will do for dinner. May finish up the chili- Already done so just need to warm it up. Had two bowls yesterday. Not feeling like cooking something just for me but may change my mind. It is only 3;30PM right now

@Auntiebk- I would have handed him the dust cloth, but he was cleaning and organizing the barn-YUCK!
Allie- I love your support for Carmine/Talia. I think our childhoods were so much easier. The pressures today especially for teens is awful. Continued prayers for the family.
Continued prayers for Destiny. Pets have healing and calming powers.
Machka- I learned today that male bees are kicked out of the hives in the winter. This is to preserve the hive. Unfortunately, most of the males either die of starvation or predators. What a short life for the males.
People were crazy on the highway today! I avoided two accidents! Happy to be home safely.
Spoke with my brother today. He doesn't know that I am planning on being there for his birthday. He is planning on coming here March 18th for weekend. I am planning to join my brother and his friend at the Indy 500 race in May. I have wanted to go for a long time and the opportunity is now. My DH hasn't said yes that he wants to go, but he hasn't said no either. I get that he can't see things well, but sometimes you have to step out of the comfort zone. I AM going! Seats are just above pit row! I am excited. I LOVE spending time with my brother and I like his friends too!
Hugs!
Loves!
Congratulations!
Encouragement!
Welcomes!

Taxes- I use to do mine, but things got complicated when I bought the first rental property with DH. Now someone else does them for us. I just have to get all the paperwork together.
Death preparation- I have been thinking about it lots. My brother even mentioned it today. I am thinking that I need to get started on that. I am thinking that I need to put the important papers in the safe, but then who do I give the code to in the event of needed. I really need to figure this out. I could do a safety deposit box with someone else on the signature card. Dilemmas. It was easier when I had nothing, but life is easier now.
Just last minute thoughts.

Carla, I’m not sure what it was about the dinner Saturday night that suddenly made me realize that my son has forgiven me for divorcing his father. There have been a few events leading up to it, including his initial overture to talk with me, the tone of texts, good follow-through for things he would normally let slide (making a brunch date, for example, and showing up on time eager to talk). But yes, sometime during dinner Saturday night it dawned on me that he had already forgiven me. I’m not sure how long ago he forgave me, or why, and I don’t really need to know. I trust it. I don’t think I am being naive. I’ve known him for over 45 years, probably better than he knows himself, and I can tell he has forgiven me.

Lanette,
Griffin will be 17 in May and is, in a word, thriving.He was diagnosed with autism in 2019 when he was 13, after a profoundly miserable life socially and in school, after many misdiagnoses & mislabels.
Not to mention a volatile relationship with his father, who loved him intensely but was so disappointed in him. There was much disruptive behavior from both of them. (And yes, from time to time, I have wondered if my son is also on the spectrum.)
You may recall that Griffin did online public school from home for 7th and 8th grade, school years 2018-19 and 2019-20. I was Learning Coach for those 2 years.
When Covid hit, he was home for a third year with a different Learning Coach for 9th grade (2020-21). He was lonely and hungry for peers, despite his social difficulties. He had very few friends, but fortunately, those he had were fiercely loyal. His younger sister was a rock. He wasn’t an easy older brother, but she is wise beyond her years and hung in there with him despite the misery he caused her.
The fall of Griffin's 10th grade year, he went back to brick & mortar school with his new diagnosis. The public school system here has a ridiculous policy that even with an autism diagnosis verified, children with autism have to start out the year without an IEP in place and stumble & fumble until the teachers, administrators, and counselors all agree that an IEP is necessary, at which time the child is evaluated, usually weeks into the school year. That happened, and everything has gotten better since then.
Most importantly, sometime during his 10th grade year, Griffin accepted that he had no choice but to get through school, and he resigned himself to it. Once he did that hard work, he was able to let go of most of his bottled up anger, and his energy was freed up to make friends, apply himself to his school work, and focus on what he enjoyed. It was a miracle. He now has a group of equally weird and wonderful friends that he spends lots of time with. He doesn’t have to study much to get good grades. His teachers know he is autistic rather than (insert negative adjective here), and his father has accepted and “become the expert” on autism, and so has changed his expectations of Griffin. I would say they have a very good relationship now.
So writing this, I have just realized that this plays into what my son is reflecting on - there is no doubt that his relationships with my DIL and Griffin have been strained. Jilli bravely calls him out on some of his manure, which he tolerates from her. I believe it is bothering him that my DIL is apparently reluctant to discuss difficult topics with him (likely a factor in the delay in Griffin’s diagnosis of autism). I sincerely doubt that he understands why she is reluctant to get into the tough stuff, but I get it.
I suddenly see that if my son is on the spectrum as I suspect, that, as many of you have said, he is probably doing the best he can, and it would behoove me to think of my sweet Griffin when I look into the face of his father (my son), and realize that he has had his share of (largely self-inflicted) misery. It takes courage to reflect on your life and try to figure yourself out. I am not the only person he has hurt - he has hurt his wife, his son, his daughter, some of his friends, and probably a coworker or two. He has hurt my wife and her son and DIL.
More power to him for bravely opening the can of worms.
I am getting over myself and starting to put the past in the past. My son has enough hard work to do without me adding to it. Someday there may be some things I want to say to him, but for now, I am content to let it ride and just be as available to him as I can be. My personal agenda is of no consequence right now, and there is no urgency to pursue it.
I want to thank all of you for having my back as I am foundering my way through this. I cannot tell you how much the feedback and comments are helping me. What would I do without all of you?
Yours Truly, Karen in Virginia12 -
Carol, My heart goes out to you. We have all done things we regret. I betrayed the trust of a good friend in postgraduate school once and paid for it by losing the friendship. I learned the lesson, but I paid a dear price. (((Hugs)))4

When I don't feel like cooking for me, I make grilled cheese sandwiches with dill pickles on the side.
My hip, where I had one skin cancer removed, is healing nicely. It's a long scar but that's OK.
My nose, where I had the other skin cancer removed, is not healing fast enough for me. Patience. The wound is closed but the scar is still quite visible to me and the tip of my nose is numb.
Glad your MIL was nice today.

Yes, the male bees or drones have one purpose in life ... to "help" the Queen make babies.
Because it is almost autumn here, the drones are being escorted out now.
All bees, except the Queen, only last 6 weeks: 3 weeks inside the hive and 3 weeks in their job.
M in Oz5 -
Karen - All we can do is love each other.
We are all just trying to figure it all out.
Sometimes we flail around a bit.
Quiet day today. Good, because I had a pretty sleepless night. It's fine, just my brain processing the DH quandary. All I can do is go gently and listen. He was also upset this weekend talking about his twin sister and her incipient dementia.
But I have my own work to do. Like Kylia, I have papers to organise. I need to make a Living Will asap. Then I will see if I can once again broach POA with him.
Today I also hope to work on my latest poem and get my newer poems printed for filing. That will clear the decks for getting properly started on my next book, NOW I AM, which is about the tips and wrinklies that have helped me become so much happier and more at peace. A kind of Handy Hints book.
Of course, I'm still learning!
Love you loads, Heather UK xxxxxxxx9 -
Just a quick pop in, I'm meeting some friends for coffee later this morning. It's at a friends house and she is baking scones. Looking forward to it, but I really need to get my eating under control. I've been logging my food and my fat intake is way too high (No wonder I'm not losing any weight!!) and my protein is too low. I need to think of healthier options. I might have to suggest a walking meet up rather than coffee and cake in future.
Well better get on with my exercises, if I don't do it now, I'll not do it at all. A mix of cardio and strength exercises this morning I think. I've been following a personal trainer and never know what to expect.
wish me luck!
Love to all

More About Bees ...
As mentioned earlier, there are male and female bees.
The Queen is the largest bee and she can live several years. Her job is to produce the brood.
The drones are the second largest bee, they're the males and their job is to impregnate the Queen. They don't have stingers.
And then there are all the female bees who hold roles such as nurse (they stay in the hive and watch over the brood), worker (they fly out to the flowers), and guard bees (they protect the hive) ... to name a few jobs.

10 Awesome Roles of Bees in a Hive
https://www.benefits-of-honey.com/roles-of-bees-in-a-hive/
I took this photo recently, and if you look carefully, you can identify the drones. They look different from the females.
The drones are slightly larger.
Their eyes are bigger.
And their butts are rounded and fuzzy, whereas the females and pointy black butts.

Exercising the Alphabet in February
In other words, on February 1, you'd walk to a street that starts with A or do an exercise video hosted by someone whose name starts with A or something ... A.
On February 2, you'd go swimming at a Beach or play a game of Baseball or something ... B.
On February 3, you'd go Cycling or Climb some stairs or something ... C.
and so on.
There are, of course, 26 letters in the alphabet and 28 days in February, so you'd have 2 free days if you didn't exercise those days or couldn't fit in the next letter of the alphabet.I have listed several January highlights so that meets the calendar suggestion for February 1...
And I walked to the Asian "dollar store" next to the Asian grocers and bought Art supplies at lunch today. That'll be my A.
Put myself in someone else's shoes --- I've been treating my difficult work colleague with kindness by talking to her about her son, complimenting her skirt, talking quietly and gently to her and so on.
And today, I walked to Bathurst Street to Buy some Books. I also climbed stairs in my Building.
Watch a movie that reminds me of kindness --- probably not tonight!
C is for Climbing and walking on Collins St!
Take a picture of three things that make you happy --
D is for exercising Downstairs!
Rowing - 16 minutes
Walking - 38 minutes
Weights - 10 minutes
Be kind to yourself -- Sleep, gardening and cycling!
E is for Exercising!
Plus we cycled on Endeavour Ave and the Esplanade.
Start a conversation with someone new --- I'm not the sort to strike up random conversations, or conversations at all. But I did chat with a person I met recently and one I haven't seen in a few months today.
And ... F!
Consider a current struggle. Write down two thoughts that bring you comfort.
Hmmm ... A current struggle, like only one? Let's go with waiting. I feel like I spend most of my life waiting.
And a walk to the botanical Gardens through the rose Garden!
Consider and celebrate diversity! Does that include people who look at things completely differently than you do? If so ... woohoo! I've had that opportunity today!
H is for Hobart - walking around. And Hanging clothes outside.
Identify a role model who embodies perseverance and find 2 ways to emulate them.
Well, I don't have role models ... and I've persevered as much or possibly even more than many people I know.
However, today was brought to you by the letter I. I did walk by and around IMAS (Institute for Marine and Antarctic Studies).
Check an item off your to do list this weekend!
YES! I tidied a shelf in the kitchen. I've been meaning to do that for months but finally did it today. There was a large quantity of rubbish on that shelf ... more than I thought. So, much of the cleaning process was just throwing things out.
I've also been dusting our entertainment unit and all the stuff on it.
And I went outside and tidied the area right in front of our front door which involved moving a whole bunch of pots and other garden things to a different location and then sweeping out a year's worth of leaves and stuff. I climbed up and down and up and down stairs doing that.
This evening I made an attempt at digging the area I want to plant things next to my dry stream. I got a new spade which is great, but even so, there are so many roots, I'll need to use something else to break it up.
Just getting rid of Junk and Jabbing the Soil
Make twice as much for dinner and either invite guests or deliver a meal to a friend ...
We're actually doing that sort of dinner thing on Tuesday.
Meanwhile, all my exercise was in K ... Kingborough today!
Cycling:
Heaving a heavy mattock in the garden:
And walking our Kitty, Rhody.
Make a list for the week ahead so you stay focused.
I have one massive ongoing things to do list with the most urgent things at the top.
L
Walking exercised my Legs.
Gardening exercised all my Limbs!
Consider a recent disagreement. Did you extend forgiveness?
Yes.
I don't like being at odds with people.
M
Meandering around Bunnings.
Moving the Mattock.
Express creativity! I finished another version of my Project Plan!! That's as creative as I had a chance to be today.
N = Nowhere
I walked the stairs to nowhere and the road to nowhere.
If you are in line today, let someone go ahead of you. I do every now and then.
O - walking Rhody near home.
The next time someone does something you appreciate, let them know. I did today!
P - Perusing the shops today while it rained outside and Purchasing a few things.
Offer a helping hand to someone such as holding the door for a stranger. I do this now and then ... probably about once a week.
Q is for Queen.
My lunch walk was around the Queen's Domain!
Share about a recent book you read and what you learned.
The recent books I have read have been fictional mystery/suspense, and I have confirmed I like this genre for relaxation and stress relief.
R is for Rocks.
Hauling rocks. Placing rocks.
And walking Rhody.
Show sincere appreciation when someone serves you food or drink. I always thank my husband when he serves dinner.
S is for ... Sifting and Shovelling through Soil. Gardening ... I was gardening.
Compliment someone today. I didn't have a chance today because there was hardly anyone around.
T is for Target!
It was raining again today so I walked through the shops.

I’m missing my Creative Writing Group this am. Hopefully, will be able to go to Monday Painters after lunch.
Machka: I so agree. Do not give others free house room in your head. My attitude is that if someone has a problem with me, it’s their problem, not mine.
