I haven't seen my now-ex-son-in-law in almost a year, and he found me intimidating before the divorce. Trying not to put any expectations on this visit at all, but I'm just happy to be seeing the grands, even if only for a few minutes.
And... he just told my daughter that he wasn't bringing the kids with him. He's leaving them with his parents while he drives down to get the camper trailer. In all honesty, if I had the choice, I wouldn't do ten hours of driving with a six-year-old and a two-year-old either, but it makes me sad that my grands are caught up in this trainwreck of a divorce that he created.
Always a silver lining to everything--at least I don't have to talk to him now. I'm not sure I'd have enough self-control to keep from lighting into him. Corey can talk to him a lot more calmly than I ever will.
Later,
Love,
Lisa

I did my yoga and marching. Yay!
And I'm trying to eat other things instead of candy, like a spoonful of peanut butter. That's almost like a vegetable! Lol!
But we are invited for dessert for my dad's birthday tomorrow, so there's that already. All I can do is keep trying.

Rebecca, why am I not surprised that you have BRC in your house. US TOO! Which flavor do you use? I like dark, but not crazy espresso dark so we went with Freedom Fuel. We like it.
AC and furnace are in. Took about 8 hours, like they said, but wasn't too noisy. I worked all day and it didn't bother me. They were very polite. I did ask some questions, because I'm nosy. It is "pretty". hehehe. Seriously. The condenser is a lot, IDK, prettier than our last one. I know, it's new, but I think it's just got a cleaner look too. And I just love our new, digital thermostat. So, yes, I'm happy. And, of course, I VERY HAPPY that it's in and tomorrow the temp is heading back up to the 90s! (that's 32c for all y'all celsius peeps)
Heading into the building today to rearrange my files so I can LEAVE THEM THERE! YAY ME!
Love ya! Carla, in MN
Actually I just have the sticker! My sister has that kind of coffee and I tried all the different kinds in the drawer! AK-47 was delightful, but JB was good too! Coffee time was particularly yummy because I partook in sugar and the lovely creamers she had. She has our mommas sugar dispenser, which is a leaded glass etched with a hole in the top and the silver base screws on. Just touching it every morning made me happy. She also had white chocolate creamer. 💖

Congrats Carla on the new furnace and AC!!! Yay! When I returned from my trip I found a new faucet in the kitchen. We had put in a trouble call because the old one leaked a bit. The other day I thought the spout seemed loose a bit. Turns out you can pull it and have a sprayer. Husband didn't even know about that!

Today I am making chicken fried rice for husband. I need to use up the bacon! I think I will plan an Asian meal with my tin of mackerel mixed with sticky rice, some zucchini and cabbage fried in teriyaki sauce, and pickled beets and cucumbers. My dessert will be two mango mochi ice cream balls. I will use lots of little bowls!

Peanut butter is my big downfall- If I am hungry, many times I will just grab a big spoon full!
I did really great this week- didn't have any for the whole week. That is rare for me.
BUT, now that you mentioned it, it is sounding really good but trying to still with no food until noon- 1 1/2 hrs to go- will go make more of my cinnamon tea(0calories in that)
Tracey- Good luck!!! Hope you hear great news on Monday.(and not have to wait until Tuesday to hear)
Walked the dog for 45 min, came home and got the water started on the garden. Need to get it all done before I leave this afternoon, or at least most of it. I will be home tomorrow night- Not staying at mom's three nights like I used to.
Daycare girl should be here soon. May take her to the park, will see what she wants. Need to get my steps in. Not going to walk tonight, except to walk around the garden, see what is ready to pick at mom's. I know I will be picking a lot of cucumbers- she is getting too much and started feeding them to the chickens- I have only picked three small ones so far and two small tomatoes.

Carla I am glad you got AC in time for our next heat wave. Wonderful today!
Tracey I too am missing Macha. Hope all is okay. I know she had a lot on her plate.2 -
The whole family cycled down to the marina this morning, where Max was taking a sailing course.
They went on the pier and had ice creams and then went for a swim in the sea. Busy day! DDIL sent us the photos.
I took DH'S pants to the charity shop, plus a skirt of mine. Then bought Dim Sum and Wan Tun. I also took the dress shirt DH had worn on the cruise to the cleaners for washing and pressing. Don't trust us not to mess it up. Bought kimchi and kombucha.
LoveHeatherUKxxxxxxxx.

Lisa - DD and I watch Brokenwood mysteries. We love the coroner, she is a hoot.
Carla - glad you got the AC in.
Heather - love the pic of the girls in the sea. Glad you had a good day out.
DGS here for the week. We went to buy groceries and he carried things in. How nice. He says he will wash my car and replace a light bulb on the driving light. I'm feeling cared for.
Everyone take care, Sue in WA5 -
I know Machka was starting a new job, but this is a long time for her to stay away, even so.

I am not surprised that Machka has not been around, she tried to care for us by reminding us of the forum rules and she was treated poorly. Words are powerful and can be hurtful.

Worked today then the soup kitchen. Afterwards I needed to stop by Lynette’s to give her some coupons then to WalMart. Then Food Lion for chicken. The price of Vince’s gatorade has gone up!
They were saying at the soup kitchen that the numbers (they serve) are up. At first I thought it was because this is the end of the month, but another lady thinks it’s because food is so expensive that people are coming for a free meal and applying that money towards the gas or electric. Isn’t that sad?
It’s really raining cats and dogs right now. Glad I got the mail earlier
Lisa – I’m so sorry you won’t get to see your grands.
Carla – doesn’t it feel so so good when you finally get a/c back?
Got my walk in after dinner.
Jess and Colby are here. I didn’t know it, but she has some sort of pot luck tomorrow at NC State. I got chicken, Vince will grill it and it can be frozen. They’re making the pasta salad right now.
Painted the second and last coat of the black on the snail. Now just to do touchup and then have it fired.

My 93 year old dad passed away Thursday afternoon. Unexpectedly given his recent bout of good health. I missed seeing him before he passed by 10 minutes. Entered ER room as nurse was turning off the monitors. Making arrangements. Family dynamics to deal with. I’ll post again later. Exhausted.19

I disagree with you in that people treated her poorly. I do think that she took their being upset personally. But, people took her remarks as unnecessary and repetitive. That's why I still suggest that we are all adults and capable of reading rules and making our own decisions. We will have less conflict and less hurt feelings.

Beth sorry to hear about your dad 💞 I know how hard it is to have missed seeing him by such a short time 💞 Prayers for you and your family 💞
