This Night Owl Blog has given so much!
It is a fun place, we don't bash and we have fun being "tedious"!
We offer advice, give love, lots of free food and an open forum which can be about anything that is important, thought provoking or just plain silly.
And sometimes we just March (some to different drummers, but all together). :)
It is not about a single person, it is about all the people on any given day blended together.....Goldie!
From Area 51: Jodi your brother is wallowing in guilt and taking it out on you. I really think you have tried to keep the channels open with him and it is time to quit calling and texting until he works through his own issues. It is hard but you don't need the abuse and what he is doing is abusive. imho
J/L I had lunch yesterday with my foodbank ladies even my friend who's husband passed away came. It was very sad she is having a rough time right now. All of us are going to try to get together for lunch once a week even if we just go to her house and pack our lunches. We want to make sure she does not isolate herself and go into depression.
Today I have to take Mr. Lynn D for a follow up eye appt. They are going to check to see if there is any progress with the treatments for his Adult macular degeneration and whether or not he needs another treatment. This will take most of the afternoon.
LYNN - Thank you. I talked to my Aunt Jane (she is not only Eric's Aunt, but also his Godmother) and she is furious!! She told me to just write him off. She totally thinks what most of you have said to me that it's guilty conscience. She also told me she would defend me to the end. I also blocked his ass on FB. Just another reason for him to judge me (or anyone on there, for that matter)!!!
LynnD I hope today's appointment goes well. Keeping fingers crossed.
That is a great plan that you have to keep your friend involved so she doesn't isolate herself. Losing a spouse creates a big void that is felt daily, not only emotionally, but socially, too.
HOdi (((HUGS))) You treated your father like an adult, allowing him to make his own decisions about his life. Your brother would have deprived him of that. Your father was lucky he had you on his side. xoxo
Zona!! How beautiful you are today (as always). I slept in today. Loved it! Jodi I am sorry you have had brother issues! There were 7 of us when my Dad passed away. I had his power of attorney. All my siblings were behind my decisions 100%. I have to admit I was worried about doing the wrong things, but in the end, I knew I honored my Dad's wishes. I would have been heartbroken if my family had said anything negative.I don't know your Brother, but I agree with the others that he has his own issues to confront. You must be his scapegoat. Life is too short to let him take away your happiness!
Dianne, looks like you had a nice visit. I have not packed yet. I do have a few "piles" to pick from. I need to decide soon lol! I travel a lot, so I keep toiletries ready to go. I'm just not sure what I can fit into :(
It has been snowing all day and still very cold. I hear the Hawaiian waves calling me :)
I've already had coffee and getting some of my "bitch work" done. Jake went to a Wisconsin Badgers hockey game last night, and then went to a "lock in" at the Youth Center. I have to pick him up at 7am.

ReplyDeleteLYNN - P.S. I hope your hubby's appt goes well. Sending good juju his way ♥
ReplyDeleteZona You look so pretty this morning. I'm sure Nikki would love for you to switch breakfasts by accident but Randy probably wouldn't.
ReplyDeleteSacBarb Thanks for the cute pics. They put a smile on my face. The baby hedgehogs are funny. :D

Barb, thanks for the sweet blog! So much love :)
Barb, these are so darn cute. I especially love the little panda bear one. Thanks for the blog. Hope you are having fun on your retreat.
ReplyDeleteI just finished deleting 11,000 emails from my computere. Whew...that took a long time and I won't let that happen again.
Zona, beatutiful just simply beautiful at first today. I'm going to try and get first tomorrow as I have an early appt and my hair will be combed!!
Jodi, hope your day is going better. A mani/pedi always brightens a day too. Only a few days until you leave. I'm jumping in your suitcase.
Lynn, thats really nice to do that for your friend. I know how important my friends were to me when I lost my husband. I was so glad to have them.
Mary and JL, are you two packed yet?
Well, I'm at my daughters so I need to get going home. I've been playing on her computer long enough and even was able to see my granddaughters.
Dianne, looks like you had a nice visit.
ReplyDeleteI have not packed yet. I do have a few "piles" to pick from. I need to decide soon lol! I travel a lot, so I keep toiletries ready to go. I'm just not sure what I can fit into :(
