Onward and Upward!

[97Hope]

Today was interesting. I gave my grandcat a bath. Long story short, we both ended up having a bath and he was super about it. Stocked up on groceries, etc for the week ahead.

We have winter storm warnings here (I live in the south and it's not supposed to get like this!) People tend to freak out when the weather turns, although to be fair, we aren't equipped for snow!

My dad called and offered to drive in so he could take me to work. LOL He's worried about me on icy roads.
1. He's 16 hours away.
2. Once I get to work, I'm in a car for 12 hours...


I love that he offered - and meant it.

It seems that the past 5 years have made my FOO closer. I lost my sister and we all came together for that, and as I started opening up to my mom and dad about the M problems, they really have been so supportive. Same with my brother, although I can't really share much with him because he's the typical big brother and is still uber protective.

Thankful for them and everyone here. We may disagree on some things, but I know that hearts are in the right places.

Going to watch "The Wedding Singer" for Vday. The "Somebody K Me" song alone is worth it!

X called and left VM that he added me on the family plan for music. I had received an email about the same thing. His message stated that he wanted to make sure I got it.

I'm going to sit on that for a day. I appreciate that he might be trying to be nice, but also, I don't feel like we should be family sharing anything but the kids/grandkids.

Thinking of a kind way to say that, or decide, it just doesn't matter and leave it alone.

He has been reaching out almost daily now. I know he misses me, but I'm not there anymore. I don't miss our R. I don't miss him, I'm lonely, but as Dwight Yoakum said "I ain't that lonely, yet".

I think over time, I could be friendly, but not friends.

I have a lot more work to do on figuring out where I am.

I think about things like "If I was dating someone, would this relationship be appropriate?" - and - "How would I feel if the guy I was dating had this R with his X?"

I like to see X's get along, of course.

Lot's to think about, but not all at once.
