New platform to try to be truthful to myself, although anonymous for now.
I finished son2 and wife to be’s gift, 6 months early! Wedding ring pattern. Here also is the one I did for son1 and wife last year.
I’m overwhelmed with myself! 🤩 #crochet #bridalshower #heirloom #tradition

Me and my ex-SIL’s at my son’s wedding this year!
And I adore my ex MIL. If I wasn’t taking care of my own mother, I would spend much more time with her. You do you: what makes you happy!

I’ve had this on my phone Lock Screen for a week now and I think I’m finally feeling it.
#Selfesteem is challenging when you’ve lived a life with narcs.

Still processing that my under coworker was screaming at me on Friday. I have today off, and maybe she is taking the holiday tomorrow. Heard she might take Wednesday off, as she is filing a court case against my company for discrimination for when she got demoted.
I can’t handle conflict! 😩

Yes we were divorced.
Yes he died.
Yes he was a narc.
Yes we were finding our way back.
Yes we were on great terms.
Yes nothing was left unsaid.🤍
Yesterday was our 32 anniv so I took this for one last spin.
Will send it with his ashes when we lay those to rest.

The past few months, I’ve been getting a #gelmanicure. Embarrassed at the vanity, but they truly help me not spend hours intense stress picking and fixing, to the point of damage, even to my teeth.
Aside from the arthritis, they are damn perfect! 👌 💅🏻

I HAVE DEFIED ALL LAWS OF COOKING:
I HAVE SUCCESSFULLY SMOKED A TURKEY BREAST ON A GAS GRILL, NOT A SMOKER, AND ITS FANTASTIC!

When mom decides to have lunch, she has this way of letting me know. 🙄

Also: never eat the mayo at my house. It has been at room temp countless times.

I made applesauce, fan favorite of my 3 loves. Losing you all this year hits hard today.

How much do I love #October in #NewEngland! Temperature, color, smell, sound, taste.
I just want my home to feel like vaca and October all the time.
Where I don’t need to go anywhere else or be waiting for a change.

At my kooky laundromat. There was a paranoid very private youngish woman who took care of the place, for a weird stingy old owner. They were an odd pair. But they both were MASTER mechanics, and would take those beast machines apart to the guts and fix them themselves. Here she is, late at night.

It’s our 40th HS reunion tomorrow. We went to the 25th, and I was so proud to be that couple, although things were starting to fail. Now he died, but we were close. Would we have gone tomorrow? Maybe. Would I go without him?
Never. 💙

You need this. After I set one up, my adult children wanted them for Christmas. I get Amazon Basics batteries.

We are not Spanish.
We do not speak Spanish.

Same, but there is some good about all the laundry being done at once.
I did appreciate the giant industrial beast style triple front loader at my last place. That thing could beat the crap out if anything.

I’m on a quick getaway with mom at our off grid 4WD-only beach house. It’s a perfect summer day. But it’s weird to be old now and be here, after growing up here doing a million things. Time for the next gen to take over!

3dads this year. God I miss you so much. #fathersday

Don’t mess with me today - hell YEAH I got this 75lb beast in my car BY MYSELF. How? I used my son29’s mantra:
FIGURE IT OUT.

(I rocked it on to some firewood until it was high enough to lift and lever in)

Soaked for a few hours in straight vinegar, and now with a touch of Barkeepers Friend, easy peasy!
