What in the world did I do to get a ZIT on the tip of my nose?

Agree with you, Orema.
The world is spinning off its axis....:( |
My stepdaughter. We are trying yet AGAIN to convince her to go into treatment for her drug and alcohol addiction. I’m trying my best to be patient and understanding, sympathetic, etc. However, I also have a ton of other stuff going on and don’t really need this drama right now. I keep telling my spouse if her daughter doesn’t WANT to get her life together then there is no point in begging and pleading with her. We’ve had intervention after intervention and I’m wore out.

Most of my activism is with disability and so mental health after the shootings, but today a young woman expressed her own rage and pain about her disability and toward other people (ie why can’t she save the world?). She’s on my mind right now. I’m worried about her.

My spouse’s oldest daughter that we found out has liver cancer. My poor spouse who is devastated. She already has enough on her plate being disabled like she is, then having to deal with her daughter here with her addictions, and now the oldest has cancer. Life just really sucks sometimes.....

Deciding whether or not to go out tonight.

Its a good day to be present. not the future, nor the past. It's all about now.
And about now, I'm tending to that stupid packing tape thing. I'm tangled and so far, cut myself once. |
Mostly the ebb and flow of life. I’m feeling rather introspective today thanks to a good heart-to-heart with a dear friend last night. We both seem to be at a place where we need to take a look in the mirror and then give ourselves a good kick in the ass.
I’m going to leave this here for anyone else who might need it.... “We have so little faith in the ebb and flow of life, of love, of relationships. We leap at the flow of the tide and resist in terror its ebb. We are afraid that it will never return. We insist on permanency, on duration, on continuity; when the only continuity possible, in life as in love, is in growth, in fluidity… Intermittency—an impossible lesson for human beings to learn… Perhaps this is the most important thing: simply the memory that each cycle of the tide is valid; each cycle of the wave is valid…. One must accept the security of ebb and flow, of intermittency.” - Anne Morrow Lindbergh |

The loss of the local entrepreneur is on my mind these days. I went to have my car serviced today. The "local" dealer is part of a regional conglomerate which translates into better deals on new vehicles but negatively affects service. I rarely see the same service advisor twice. The turn over both in service and sales is about 95% every 6 months. They now have centralized scheduling for appointments ( a call center by any other name is still a call center). This is fine if you just want an oil change or need an inspection sticker. If you are having a problem, it is a different story. And, based on todays visit, I am gathering they are running out of service advisors who actually know something about cars. A service advisor should know more than me about cars. Todays order taker was pleasant but clueless. The service manager, who also does not look familiar, resorted to mansplaining my car to me. It didn't turn out well. LOL. I learned my dentist sold his practice to a conglomerate out of the midwest. Not sure how this works. He is still my dentist. The practice name didnt change but I expect the overall financing did. This would explain why I cannot get a refund for being wrongly charged for something. I keep changing veterinarians because they keep being bought out and now like to order unnecessary tests and xrays, per the protocol, just to boost the bottom line aka the vet cannot exercise their own judgement based on their own experience. I am really not liking this. I like developing working relationships with the folks I use for things. I like seeing familiar faces, hearing familiar voices, and feeling confident in the professionals I use. |
Two of my customers are on my mind tonight. One just lost her mother and is trying to find a way to live her life without her best friend and the other is homeless, living in his truck, but refuses to do anything to help himself.

That im sick of being single. I would really like to.start dating again.

I can't find the can opener. I have a can of tuna, and because I can't open it, I really want it!
|
on my mind..watercolor washes, cookies, wine
|
Between this site and another LGBT+ forum I frequent, I think I like this place more because there's a lot more people who have had more life experience, and I love seeing/having that.
Y'all are the best. |

I was determined to find that opener, and success was made this morning. However, funny you should mention a pot and Silverware. Right now, I have a deluxe set, compliments of Wendy's! And I have a friend who is bringing pot. (Yes, our conversational exchanges have sounded like a drug deal..lol) Lunch will be tuna!! |
Besame...You could have scrapped the top of the can against cement until you wore down the edges. I saw it on YouTube. :)

My right knee started bothering me Monday and each day it hurts worse and seems weaker. I guess next week I will have to go to the Dr and have it checked out. Lord I hope it isn't anything serious. I'm finally getting ahead financially. Until I started having these stomach issues. I've racked up a lot of medical bills with this and don't need to be out of work with anything like knee surgery or anything like that. So that is what's on my mind.

Way too much right now! Thinking about my spouse’s daughter and how hard this is going to get. My stepson and I are trying to plan ahead because you never know. We have to see if the doctor will even say it’s ok for her to fly, because she is in such poor health, we have to board all three dogs.... Then we have the never ending drama with the grandkids and their addictions. They don’t have custody of their babies, of course, so when my spouse wants to see her great grandkids we have to arrange it with their other grandmothers who have custody. A friend suggested I try going to Al Anon meetings ( not sure how to spell) and I’m going to look more into this. The stress is just too much. The other day when we got the news about her granddaughter my spouse nearly lost it. I had to pick her up off the floor because she fell down crying and screaming. These kids don’t realize how bad their drug/alcohol addictions are tearing the families apart.

On my mind....
The thing that's been on my mind all day is the fact that - I spent the entire day yesterday with a friend ( that I haven't known long), and she was constantly looking at her phone !!!
( Facebook, messages, etc., I guess ?). I am getting really tired of everyone doing that these days !!! When I am with someone, I give them my undivided attention, look them in the eyes, hang on every word, and enjoy good conversation !!! ( the way it should be !!:o ). Sure, I love my phone, iPad, etc., but they are for private time !! I treasure actual "personal" interactions with people ! Does anyone out there feel the same way ??!! :byebye: |

I’m with you! Especially when it’s a friend I don’t get to see too often and they pay more attention to their phone than to me. I feel like why did I even bother to get together? |
Getting a blood sugar monitor. I’m not diabetic but have times where they say I am pre-diabetic then times they say I’m not. Feeling more health conscious these days and have a desire to improve and keep tabs on what is going on with my body. No major health issues happening and I’d like to keep it that way.
But from what I’ve read those monitors can be pretty off on the numbers so I’m still researching which one is best. |
Being drug to good friday church services. Im only going so i can get food afterwards.
