Suprisingly, I've been so dog gone busy, I haven't really had time to get angry lately. I thought I would end up finding all this "spare" time now , but instead my "to do" list is still greater than the free time I have. Unfortunately, that means I'm several days behind on everyone here again and don't think I'll get to catch up to next week sometime.
There's really not much to report concerning CAW. After the open house at school last Tuesday, CAW has really started distancing. Last Friday, she did come by to help install the doors on the shed albeit nearly an hour late. The whole time she was quiet, distant ... saying she wasn't feeling too well, but she was quite helpful. She did skip lunch and being a diabetic that always ends up throwing her for a loop (but she still does way too frequently). So I suggest taking her out to dinner as a way to thank her for her help today. We all go out. She remained pleasant but quiet and withdrawn.
One huge positive was D11 actually stayed overnight two nights in a row during the weekend. We had a good time and I think she now looks forward to come here. Today, she brought home a new girl in school who she has befriended.
Also, now the truck is back in shape and ready for the winter, so yesterday on a whim, I just took off for a ride for about an hour thru the Catskills. Haven't just drove like that in a long time. It really helped sooth the soul.
Today, due to nearly an all day downpour, I decided to do some housecleaning. I started with the master bath. I pulled out a tote bin full of lotions, conditioner, beauty creams, etc... that have collected under the sink. I also downsized the five different kinds of tile cleaners, three toilet cleaners, etc., so I actually can now store product that get used down there.
Well, that's all I really have time for now, but hopefully I'll get to check in here soon...
