Hi Guys,
Cm thanks for the good thoughts. I am much better-the soup became chicken and dumplings. Way fattening and yummy! Brought most of it to my brothers as a surprise. He is divorced and cooks for himself. Nice to come home to a hot homemade dinner once in a while. Neighbor just stopped me in the lot to thank me for the cookies.
I went out today, my off day, and was pleasantly surprised that the roads were so clear and dry. The villages and towns around here are to be commended-they handled it all quite well.
Had not planned to go back out today but my daughter called me sobbing. A young man she had taken into her home when she lived in Georgia committed sucide yesterday. He was a homosexual and was kicked out of his home as a teenager due to religious intolerance. I guess having your own mom tell you she wished you were never born doesn’t do much for the self esteem. My girl said when he lived with her she gave him his first birthday party ever. Jen remembered that she had some pictures of him on a memory stick so I drove her to the store to have them printed. That little punk asked me if I would stop at the gas station so she could get a lottery scratch ticket. I told her not a good way to deal with grief so have a beer instead. "Good mom, great parenting!" OK she made a connection I didn’t. She is a smart girl sometimes.
I heard a song on the radio and some of the lyrics popped out at me. I think it may be a Tom Petty song but I don’t remember ever hearing before. "I’m a looser at the top of my game." I liked that line. Kind of like a nice way to say I’ve hit bottom.
Lizbeth, Tdik, always nice to hear from you! Hope to catch u all on the weekend chat!
back to work tomorrow
peace
bettie
