Thanks, DD I feel a lot of guilt for not being able to use so many of the things I already had that were very nice and still in good condition. To see them go to good homes and have a second life where they are appreciated again is a big relief and makes me so happy!

Yet another day of babysitting the robot! Still totally enamored. And man, I have a lot of windows. I counted panes (in and out count as 2). I think I still have 38 to go? I don't know, I come up with a different number each time I count.

I hung my painting today! I love it. This is not the one with my house in it, Diane. This one I got from a gallery in LA. The artist is English living in Australia. I love her stuff and have been following her for a while, but most of her stuff goes immediately and is also really big, so hard to think of where to put them. This one I bought in October, but it took a long time to get here. It's a more manageable size!

(Sorry for the dark lighting, it's because it's so bright outside):

Tomorrow painters and more windows... Tuesday my bff and his interior designer friend are coming to shop my garage for his house. He's getting married in June to his boyfriend and he's moving into the bf's house and they are redoing it currently.

Kirby has developed a stinky mouth. I think it might be dermatitis in his beefy jowls from moisture and bacteria. They don't look sore, but he's scratching it and it smells. Starting chlorhexadine wipes to see if we can kill whatever it is.

Take care everyone. Loved reading everyone's posts today!

This peacekeeper agrees!

Exactly!!!

Always so much more than just the current moment. Family dynamics, especially around holidays are freighted with the weight of all the days that came before. It's powerful stuff and runs so much deeper than what we see on the surface. I think the people who explode feel better faster, because they got to discharge a lot of pent up feelings. The peacekeepers like you and your other sister in law get left with holding the rubble of the after shock. I hope everyone is feeling better this afternoon.
