(((((((T))))))) I'm not going to read much into anything right now, but I also won't read anything out of it! I have gotten really good at the No Expectations thing. Maybe too good, but it is the only way I keep going right now.
(((((((beginnersmind))))))) Thanks for your kinds words, and good wishes. I appreciate every single post you make to me.
(((((((Lisa))))))) I hope you realize how much I appreciate your support. Maybe there are tiny movements, I'm too close too see it, I think! In any case, this is going to take a long time. So I hope you are ready to stick around a while!
(((((((MichelleLT))))))) I liked that pic! The kids rented Underdog yesterday. Completely corny, and stupid, and fun! Uh, oh, here comes the cat! (Seriously, she knows!) She crawled up on my chest, I petted her a bit, she purred, and moved on!
OK, let's see, I can hardly remember yesterday. But I'm sure it happened. Did a little laundry, went to the store to get muffin ingredients. Then the evening! I think S19, S18, and two friends got home just before I started the muffins. I had watched Underdog with S10 and S13 (and W, though he may have slept). Anyway, S19 came in, and rolled up his sleeve, and, lo and behold, there was a tattoo of barbed wire on his arm, meant to look like it ran through his arm. I called him an idiot (smiling) and he said, "have you seen S18's?". My jaw dropped. He had gotten a bicycle chain ring between his shoulder blades. One of their friends had gotten an eagle/skull (I think) on his arm. His mom saw it tonight, I thought she was going into shock!) Anyway, I think S19 had accidentally warned W, so she was less surprised than I was.
This morning, S18 came out with no shirt (I think to lessen the itch), after he walked past W she gasped, and said, "It moved!" S18 kind of jumped, and she laughed! It was better in person, trust me! Anyway, I immediately said "Good one!" and she said "Thank you!". So, that was my compliment of the day.
I had to go get last minute stuff for the gathering, veggie trays and bread, W and younger two boys did some weeding. The event went off quite well, the lasgna that I made last week was very good! And we followed up with a baked Alaska. So, I feel quite plump, at the moment!
S19 doesn't leave til Tuesday, W is letting little guys stay home from school tomorrow to get some time with him, since he hasn't been here much. I told her I agreed 100%.
Hope you all had a great weekend!
More hugs for all of you, even the ones that don't post! I can feel the support.
