afufleThank goodness for being able to stay at Patty's sometimes, it's a great break and she's very encouraging and positive, and we can both vent to each other. I was saying some stuff about how very discouraging my mom is, that she is as much as ever trying to look like a saint and martyr, trying to cover up stuff and manipulate, and Patty's like the world is full of people who can have kids, not raise them. And that now I know mom is not functional as a parent, never will be, and that I have to get other parents. There is no question about it now. Parents, you know, just people who nourish, etc.
I gave lots of backrubs at the meeting, got a couple bucks for that
It'll be a slim Christmas which I'm used to, so that's okay, it won't always be that way. And we can still have fun I hope.
I wrapped presents for Geneva with Patty, that was fun and I got to feel useful. Geneva's husbanc is in the hospital and things are not looking good for him, his health is bery iffy. He gets infections in his lungs, is elderly, diabetic and on and on. And she has this huge family, had 8 kids, several grand and great-grand kids, so a huge amount of presents.
The church has a package wrapping outreach outside Walmart on Saturday, I signed up for that. I used to wrap packages at Christmas time, my first job. I don't know that I was all that fast at it, I tend to think anything I do with my hands has to be like the Sistine ceiling.
I need to get some postage stamps of all things, and also get a money order and mail it in for literature...I am so embarrassed that it is so LATE. Need to finish Christmas cards, they are just going to be late this year, but I haven't sent any for years, so that's okay.
Need Melatonin bad, thank goodness Kay liked her backrub as much as usual, gave me a couple bucks, that makes it possible. She's a widow, for crying out loud. Though still working, but yeah....
I think my lack of sleep has not helped with various paranoid feelings that have been kicking me lately. And it hasn't helped that I haven't been getting out as much as I could maybe, but I'm getting out a lot more lately.
Toodles.
