My MIL is here for two weeks. This is the end of week 1. So, I'm drinking rum. I deserve it.
Hey Zaida - good to see you!

How are you? (Other than drunk and annoyed by a MIL visit lol)

No. It isn't and the most distressing part of it is, not that she went out with him but that HE stopped seeing her. Do you understand? He, Newman; Newman stopped seeing her. Newman never stopped seeing anybody. Newman will see whoever is willing to see him. Not so much why she did see him as disturbing as that is. But why, did HE, Newman, stop seeing her?^_^^_^^_^

I tell you you've never seen something so objectionable. down the hall, third door on the left.

Hey Zaida - good to see you!

How are you? (Other than drunk and annoyed by a MIL visit lol)

I'm actually going through a good patch of feeling pretty good. I started doing aqua fit and swimming, and after a month I do notice some gained muscle. I don't think anyone else would notice it, but I do. I might try and go to the gym and do some out of water exercise. Last time I tried it I got hit by a dizzy/nausea spell so bad I had to sit down.

My hives tried to come back last weekend. I just didn't have money to go see the doctor and get her to write me a new prescription for steroids. So, I was like, "Lord I don't have time or money for this. Please help," and they went away.

My MIL is actually a real peach as far as in-laws go. But nobody ever said, "Oh boy! I want to spend 2 weeks with my mother-in-law." Plus, I work from home, so she is up my butt 24/7, and she doesn't understand that I am working. I heard her tell my sister-in-law that I don't do anything but sit in front of a computer all day. Plus, this whole trip and co-ordinating with my SIL who can be a bit of a thoughtless jerk has the potential to mess up my son's birthday weekend. As it is, we're going to have to boogie 1st thing on Sunday morning, so we can pick our dog up at the kennel before 2pm because he can't come with us because of my MIL.

When we picked up my MIL - first my sister-in-law said she wanted to meet at noon. So, we drove to Virginia the night before which was fine. We stayed with my mom, so I got time with her. I got a few minutes with my son before he had to go start work. But, then my SIL decided they weren't even going to leave NC before noon, and wouldn't arrive in VA until 6 or 7. So, we made plans to hang out with my sister and her family and my brother and his son. Then, my sister-in-law texts she wants to meet at 3:45. So, I said we can't make it until 4. Short story long - it was after 5 before she showed up. I told Hubman if she pulls this crap for the return trip (on my son's birthday) I will blow a gasket that they will write epic poems about the explosion, and I might be forced to hurt his sister's feelings. We are spending hundreds of dollars (hotels, kennel fees, gas, etc) so SHE can have a vacation - money we could have spent on a vacation for us! We haven't had a real vacation since we went to Yellowstone for 3 days - 2 years ago.

Ah - life!

Happy Birthday to your son! I'm SO glad you're feeling better and the hives went away. Thank God! We were worried about you. :) And I'm glad the exercise is benefitting you. I've thought of trying some water aroebics myself.

Sorry to hear your SIL is being so inconsiderate. Some people don't seem to think outside themselves. I hope she can learn to do better. I must say you have a great sense of humor about the whole situation, at least that's what I hear in your writing. Hopefully no epic poems need ensue. ;)

So good to hear from you! It sounds like you're very busy, but we are glad to hear from you whenever you have time.

God be with you, dear sister!

Who? Jake Jarmell?

our eyes met across the crowded hat store. I, a young customer, and she, a coquettish haberdasher. oh, I pursued and she withdrew, and she pursued and I withdrew. and so we danced, and I burned for her.
