What's on your Thursday Menu?

Hello Hello! HOOOOOOW is it Thursday already????? Apparently I am terrible with an unstructured life. I did get a lot done yesterday but I also felt like I was flitting around aimlessly since I was lacking deadlines. I'm not used to that and it felt like an extra long day. The weather never cleared up so I didn't get outside, but today is going to be gorgeous so today will be my day to make the patio look cute. I am also going to finalize our menu for the weekend and get groceries.

QOTD: What's the last compliment someone has given you? I woke up to a long text message from my mom that was actually a heartfelt poem. It was veryyyy sweet and went on for many stanzas to say she is proud of me and loves having me as a daughter. Aw.

Accountability: Better but not perfect. I ended the day at 763 calories and gasp I had a second Babybel cheese.

Mornin everyone.

Yesterday was not a good day. My new provider is ok. My mom screamed a lot. My favorite was that she wanted to just die. Then went on to tell me that if she has a heart attack she can't count on anybody. I wish I could blame it all on the mini stroke but she has always been talented with insults.

I also heard back from the other clinics and they do not take Medicaid. I'm screwed basically. Today'll be a recovery day. I'm really groggy this morning so I'm going to go back to bed.

QOTD: someone told me I was generous with information on chainmaille

Oatmeal for breakfast and the rest is unplanned.

Sorry Melody. Sounds like mom screaming about being alone during a heart attack is the surest way for that to happen. I hope she can recognize that pushing you away when she is asking for love and support is not accomplishing her goals.

Thanks! I had a good cry a bit ago and feel a lot better regarding my mom. I know that our neighbors meth making is coloring a lot of this behavior. It really causes my mom to be agitated. While she is good with insults she has to be really upset to let it unfurl like this. Our cops here are useless. They told my mom it's might be time for us to relocate. Well that'd be dandy if we could. We have 3 dogs and 2 cats. Ot to mention money is a factor. We can't afford to live elsewhere for the price we do here.

thanks again and sorry for going off on a tangent lol

Mel I think you and your mom need to really look into different housing. Even if it means rehoming some of the animals. There is some really nice low income housing available. Start looking and making plans. I never wanted to move because of pets. I found out that if you get them declared as emotional support animals, the law cannot stop you from having them.

Oh I wish she would. She is the most stubborn person I have ever known. She is more set in not moving now than she was before!

Sorry your mom acted that way. I hope today is better.

A couple weeks ago a house blew up in a nice neighborhood taking down the 2 houses next to it. They looked like toothpicks. They tried to say they were changing a ho****er tank but there was no evidence from the gas company of any kind of surge. And think about it. Idiots change ho****er tanks every day if it was that easy to blow up a house it would happen all the time. I hear the police believe it is a Meth Lab. I am sure whatever you are breathing in has contributed to health problems for both of you. If it were me, I would be strongly encourage my Mother to move. I hope things get better.

That house made the news out hear, with video of the explosion. There was nothing left of that house.
