Cooler Temps and Flowers…

So I worked on an entry last week, but never posted it…and it seems that I have lost it, sssoooo…I’ll be writing it again. I truly do hate when that happens; trying to remember what I had written and what I wanted to say. Blah!! Oh well, it happens sometimes, doesn’t it.
I think the last I wrote, I had taken Paige to Ludington to catch the ferry across Lake Michigan to Wisconsin. That was…oh, three weeks ago. For the most part, she says that shes having a good time, but I get the feeling that she is having a dose of reality being there right now. She has little money, her friends are all working and she is stuck it her girlfriend, Syd’s, house by herself a lot. I asked her if she was having a good time and she hesitated and said yes. I know that she likes being around her friends, but they are working and she isn’t.
We’re working on getting her enrolled in college for fall semester. With her being in Wisconsin, its difficult for me to help her. I’m hoping that her friend, Ayden, will be able to help her out. He goes to college, so he knows what he’s doing. She NEEDS to get enrolled in school!!
My flowers on my deck are finally starting to fill out and look really good!! These pics are about a week old, so with the added rain and sunshine they’ve gotten bigger than this!! I decided, due to my disability (my knees), that I was only going to plant flowers in pots to be placed on the deck. My mom just bought a few more flowers yesterday at Lowe’s to put in a hanging basket on the Sheppard hook. I don’t care if she plants more flowers-I just wont be able to help maintain them much. I mean, I can water them, but thats about it.
Im in the process of trapping a feral kittens and their Mama again this year. I thought that I had my skirting all buttoned up tight, but this female cat managed to get under my house and had 4 babies under there. They are now about 7 weeks led and making a real mess all around my yard and the neighbors yard. I cant even stand out go out the back door because of the cat poop smell. It’s disgusting!! And of course, my mom is feeding these babies and Mama like she did the ones last year. Oh, and the Mama is pregnant again, and will be giving birth in a few weeks. UGH!! I swear, I am the crazy cat lady!!
We got very sad news earlier this week; my Aunt Judy had died the following week from diabetes complications, she was 60yrs old. Apparently her partner, Tony, was in the hospital and she was home alone for about a week. Her Doctor was talking about placing her in a home because she wasn’t able to take proper care of herself. According the to M.E., Just had taken too much insulin and died on Thursday, but wasn’t found until Friday evening when the police did a well check because she wasn’t answering her phone. Her funeral was this Thursday in Howell. I did not attend because my step-monster was going and I do not want to see that monster. I feel bad about it, but that side of my family understands completely.
The picture above is of Aunt Judy, a friend of ours Laurel and myself. It was Judys wedding day to Tom. It was a great day and I love this picture of the 3 of us. She and Tom had 2 kids; Gary and Angela. They divorced after 10’ish years of marriage. On a side note; I am 7.5 months pregnant in that picture.
Ive been working very hard at eating more healthy foods and higher proteins. I was weighed at my Doc office last week and have lost 7 lbs. I’ll weigh myself again Monday to see if Ive dropped any more weight…I hope that I have!!
My mom is still living here with me and she is still making me crazy!! I think that therapy is helping me and I really do like my counselor. We are going to start working on my anxiety/panic attacks and how to deal with them in a better way.
I finally ordered my cane; Ive had the Rx for it for over a month now. I know that I need it, but I think that actually ordering it was finally admitting that I need it to walk. thats a hard pill to swallow!! It’s hard to admit that I am no longer Super Woman. It really sucks!!
Celebrated the 4th of July with some of my family on the 3rd. Robbie and Vicky had a small BBQ/picnic and invited Mom and I, and Dustin and his family, over. It’s was nice to see some of my family. But it hurts my heart that my family is so broken right now. What Saima is doing breaks my heart!!
I got to watch some of my grandkids playing and having fun together!! Bella and Harper swam in the pool quite a bit and Liam, Connor and Kinsley playing in the water tables on the deck. I sure d love spending time with my family. I wish that it happened more often!! I wish we weren’t so divided right now. Families shouldn’t be like this!! I am still hopeful that my family will somehow come back together.
I think I am going to open the windows!! It’s much cooler today and the humidity is down. And of course, getting some fresh air in the house will be a good thing
Love and Hugs to All……
