126.3, all good.
Morning has been spent preparing for Thursday's Bible study which I'm leading. Still have a companion sermon to listen for that. I also got mail order meds transferred from one pharmacy to another due to insurance changes.
Will hop on the treadmill after lunch and perhaps work on my Etsy site some more. DH is working 12 hour shifts today and tomorrow. Thinking something easy for dinner. I have some frozen fried clam strips that I have been hungry for, so might put that in the oven with a veggie or salad for a side.
Your day was quite busy Liz! Glad today will be a bit more laid back for you.
Gloomy, rainy day today. Not conducive to doing anything fun or productive outside. Looking forward to some sun and nice days, hopefully soon!

120 - Taco Tuesday, but we are having leftover easy lasagna.
Lots done yesterday: teeth cleaned and appointment set up for another crown :(, met with paint/handyman and have a good plan for painting over the sand paint and the ominous mural in the master bath (now I just need to pick the perfect light blue for the walls), pinned up the hems on the 2 long dresses I bought from Poshmark and dropped them off at the alterations place, got DH measured and ordered a navy blue suit for the same 2 weddings (getting ties up next), had the car washed, then cooked dinner. Whew! That's a lot for retired folks!
Today is much less ambitious: Justice walk, finish cleaning second bathroom and start dusting while DH is at gym, go to the beach, eat leftovers for dinner. I think we can manage tokay's schedule.
Have a titillating Tuesday!

I too would want to sneak bites (of course). But good for Ron - maybe he is looking at your success and getting some inner motivation to work on himself. As we all know that self-motivation is the first step.

IMHO people like her will always have to have the last word so best to stop engaging now. I like the idea of burning it...

Thanks for the chuckle :)
That lost pair of glasses is the first of many. Buy them in bulk.

Today is taco Tuesday isn't it? I was going to make them this week but I already cooked something last night that we need to eat the 2 open nights before DSD arrives. Definitely will have to make them for Cinco de Mayo!
I think our children sometimes still think they need to be the center of our attention at most times. It is good for them to realize that now that they are adults that can't always be the case.

So sorry that your Mom does this. She must be very unhappy.
I think attitude through life usually determines how an individual will react to tough cir****tances. My Mom drank after tragedies that were too much for her and was miserable to be around during that period but when she finally became sober she was actually an optimistic, humorous person and rarely complained. I see people my age dealing with lots of past and present issues but pushing through them and enjoying whatever they can. Others take to their couch for any small thing and end up spending all their time there complaining about their lot in life to anyone who will listen.

Ah, but sometimes it's not about HER change her thinking or opinion or coming around. It's about getting to have your say, whether she hears it or not. Sending the note/text/email is about getting it off your chest. Those of us who feel unheard often forego the opportunity to be heard in ugly situations because we're supposed to be "nice". So, we sit in our own **** while it festers.
One need not always take the high road. There will be time for that later, once you have said your say. Sometimes you just need to get dirty before standing up, dusting yourself off and taking the damn high road. Give the b/witch a piece of your mind!

Thank you, my dearest Peps!!! We think similarly. My inner self is howling to defend myself, but the people I've shared it with have said to ignore it because nothing I say will change her thinking; that it just prolongs the inevitable and feeds her anger. But, gah! The injustice is sticking in my craw!
