the other shoe

It is possible I have enough for a whole wardrobe now. How many shoes can be dropped on a person? I mean really.

After all the shit that has happened, I had a relatively decent day. I mean, for a house full of people while I am sick, it went smoothly and was pretty much handled by other people including the clean up. My people rock.

I sat down to image search for something I want to make, know exists, and need a reference for. I opened my email to a msg from sis-in-law. *sigh* I finally got the answer to the not question I've had for years now. Bro wants nothing to do with us. "I like you but I can't change him" sort of sentiment. Sobbing ensued. Opening of birthday present bottle, Graham's 20 year tawny port. A moment of silence for its glory. Reply to email. Made it clear that this is not my choice nor is it my desire and that if/when the situation changes or the kids start asking questions I *will* be available. Promised to do my best to keep her updated on where we are and how to contact us. Asked if I could have their current address but I expect to get no on that one.

Can I be done with 2010 now plz?

Darling, go to bed. Nothing is gained from being exhausted on top of overextended. You've done more than anyone can reasonably expect of you under circumstances that have caused others to quit or break. All of the things that have yet to be dealt with cannot be dealt with tonight. Sleep will see some of what is wrong set to rights. I love you. Your strength is a boon not a curse. Don't doubt my faith in you

Thanks mom. Nite.

Loving and allowing yourself to be loved without expectation, simply accepting is a very powerfully affirming experience. For me, you do not need to be anything more or less than the remarkably beautiful and talented self that you are. I don't need you to be anything. I don't need anything from you. I allow that you are you and that is enough for me.

"Quiche gets a bad rap, but as my pal (and rival comics blogger) Dave Campbell once pointed out, quiche is SCRAMBLED EGG PIE, often served with bacon and wine. That's the most barbarian-friendly food there is, with the exception of raw dinosaur tenderized by your own fists. And that's real."

Heeeheheehee! no fork needed! Just pick it up with your hands. oh dear me. my ribs hurt.

Paris day 4

there were no pics from day three. If you check the tags section and look for Paris it kinda explains why.

Sorry about all the multiple posts. Had to be done.

I have posted all of the travel pics from last year. I know FL is still in the hopper but that will have to wait. Hehehe, I did get a couple of good ones from there tho. There are a few pics of Paris that the Honey took while he was there. Will wander thru those and see if there is anything that needs to be added.
