Good Morning

It's been a few days but I'm still here. We've been busy cleaning out Grams. I'm playing house tetris trying to organize and clean both houses and make room for dad to come home. Went to the Recruitment and Retention meeting last night and basically got told that my life is on Facebook. I don't remember listing out all my issues on Facebook but I guess they think I do. I know that I posted grams passing on facebook for the family I don't talk to. Other than that however I don't think there's been anything posted. No one really knows what's going on with dad and everything we have to do to get ready for him to come home. Only a few people know that I'm filing bankruptcy. I guess maybe there's another person posting on my account I don't know about? Bad joke but still...not on it as much as I used to be. I have the past few weeks because I like other people's issues more than my own. I reached my done point. I had my pity party last night after the meeting but I'm still in a funk. Mostly because why do I even bother trying. They wanted to talk about retention and I said it needed to start with communication at the individual station level but nope. Didn't even get a second. Someone else said it and oh my God that's a great idea but how do we do it. So just why? I don't know. Maybe I'll get out of it. I didn't want to go to the dinner tomorrow but my husband talked me into going. I earned it so I should go. Dad is coming along pretty well. He really is making leaps and bounds but all of those accomplishments a few people tend to forget that dad is still really sick. He will never be even 60%. If we're really lucky they can up the lasik meds and maybe get the fluid off of him. We just have to becareful because it can bottom his blood pressure. It's just all very tricky. They did say that he is completely off the vent now. That is one really great step. Fingers crossed I have someone coming to get the sewing stuff tonight. There is a lot and I can't really get great pictures so I told the woman that she's more than welcome to go through it. It's all bundled but I don't care if they go through it. Especially if it gets all those boxes gone. I found yarn and crochet needles in her stuff that I'm keeping. You never know what I'll get into. I have some stuff on the way to make Christmas lip gloss and I'll be making gummy bears as well. With some luck I may be able to schedule some shopping visits. I have one more book to catch up on then I'll be caught up on all the ARC's I've gotten this year. It's a plus for me. I'm trying here. I'm seriously trying. How is everyone else doing?

I don’t know how you do all you do with all the stress you have. I think you are doing very well, considering. Eventually, everyone has a pity party. I hope some positive things start happening!

I hope so too. Some how I find time for everything. Not sure how but I do. Not that it's noticed much but hey, if I actually got recognized I might faint.
