House is coming along and at this rate, it better finish fast.

LOL the husband came in and said he was like, confused and worried about his parent. He talked to her at the nursing home and she was like, "it costs this much, but it's totally fine." Today she was like, "It costs this much and we might have to move."

He said, "I don't think they have any money or something? I'm worried she's going senile maybe though? I don't know what to do."

I snorted. I said, "You may not have begun, in the most tangential of fashions mentioned the move etc." He was like, I was yeah, coming near it."

I said, "I know you have to love your mom because she is your mom and all, but I bet you ANYTHIING that spiteful hag went down that road to head you off at the pass. She's FINE she just didn't want to even just say "No."

I was like, "I TOLD you I was gonna handle it by email you need to let me." Because, as one parent to another I am going to let her HAVE it. I am going to like begin with my husband's first memory at age 2 where some idiot died at some disgusting party his stepdad was having and the police had to come and he was threatened to LIE, and his grandparents told him not to... .well it ends with him being CHOKED to unconsciousness. At age 2." I am going to continue and she will NOT like it. I will point out to her my husband's bio dad dying probably WAS caused by her, he refused medical treatment because he knocked her up in HS and he was like "Holy Jesus I have to live with this woman the rest of my life." I will tell her even if she WAS the perfect wife and mother at that time, retiring to a bedroom for 18 months with her two kids and then having food trays shoved under the door was not NORMAL. Becoming a stripper afterward was ALSO NOT NORMAL. Marrying a mark who you thought was loaded was not NORMAL and that guy beat you all to hell and worse your children too and you REFUSED to leave. ABNORMAL.

I am going to point out her complete self-absorption and lack of assistance to the husband--ever. I am going to point out his alcoholism was environmental not genetic because it made the beatings hurt less, so her pride in his sobriety was unwarranted as SHE did the damage and he did the work. I am going to point out the ONLY way she would visit Tucson was if we paid for the ENTIRE thing. I will point out (after a LUNCH I PAID for) she brought two scones home to a family of four.

I am going to state to her that being a TERRIBLE parent and saying "I should have not had kids" is NOT an amends, it is a gosh darned INSULT. I am going to say NORMAL actions when you realize AT LAST how much you suck is helping to make amends. I am going to blame MOST of my husband's bad PTSD behaviors he got from his stepfather.

I am going to point out how hellish the last 18 months have been FOR HIM . I am gong to point out her belief in my deficiency as a wife, but I am ALSO going to point out well despite her thoughts, her husband remains loving, thoughtful, kind and he is TIRED. I am going to BEG her to assist him because he DESERVES it, as a gesture of kindness from a parent who never even made a damn attempt. I am going to point out he loves her regardless and she doesn't deserve a teaspoonful of the love he has for her. I am going to say there is SOMETHING concrete she could do to make HIS future better, because things are what they are, and she needs to get on board the train or it will be leaving the station forever, and I will block her phone number again and again, and I will curse her black soul, not for the past , but for refusal to do something not that hard that can be managed, you can get insurance for if something happens.

I am going to tell her the only reason I have not driven a wedge between them (and this wife ALWAYS wins) is because I love him enough to let him stay in contact because HE chooses to and I let him fly her out without complaint because I was like, "You are right, that Boomer Female Dog would NOT spend a penny to come see you."

I have more. LOL.

It just ...... me off his mom made him WORRY instead of just saying "No." I think II will point that out too and I understand how being exposed to long term DV can make you a manipulative awful person but if you actually LEAVE the person you can get therapy you can get better.

I will also say, "I understand you do not understand or recognize love because you HATE yourself but there is help with that too but she's too cheap to pay a therapy copay probably."

Only it will be more uh, eloquent. Or perhaps not at all. I try to leave the in laws alone they make me stabby.

Life has its sad and very tough moments which just happen, not due to anyone deliberately causing them, but just happen.
Then there are those moments that are caused by folks who are too selfish or self absorbed to even understand what they're doing.
Sad story.
May your lives go well, as my old Zen master teacher used to say.

Have a wonderful time @FranC ! I'm not much of a beach person not ever since I found a gigantic like 30 foot shark on the beach. It was in Aus. Not only did it stink, I was like, "Things like that are in the water with me." Oh man, sorry. LOL also the gigantic stinging jellyfish that could kill you and the deadly coral you could step on. Sand places I did no want it.

So I am wishing you all good times. I do enjoy walking on the beach collecting seashells and like sitting under a beach umbrella and all the GOOD things, plus I assume you won't be like in an "Aus" situation like everything there, stuff is just wanting to kill you very much.

Yoga was okay but I am now SPENT. EXHAUSTED. Politafact political husband says WV always remains neutralish during civil war so it's a good place to go. I really have to find a way to respond to the liberal sister that dialectically points out that over 20 deaths is not inspiring (Cheesecake factory nonetheless) and that I too have seen my share of really unfair things and like, I don't agree with them either but I don't think rioting and looting are ever "inspiring" because I don't think they are. I also don't think showing "This is how we behave without the rule of law" is really the way to go. Like really not, do they want a Federal police force? Dinner soon. I gotta try and do something with a doggy maybe after dinner. That never seems to go well.

I'm gonna take it easy tomorrow all my phone calls and like only WALMART I might look through a FEW boxes but meh, IDK.

I need a rest now. Otherwise my body is gonna get mad at me. Rest is also necessary.

BUT NO WALMART TODAY. LOL

About 3 weeks ago I mixed acai/AM4A/vanilla custard all at 2%, today I dumped it. I don't think acai is for me.

I have TFA Acai from a recent order, haven't tried it yet. What turned you off with it, could it be one of the other ingredients?

Okay. I have collapsed for a time. In a little bit, it going to be yoga. I'm not excited but perhaps it will be awesome. I mean.... We have TONS of data left over on our data plan, so I could put on some youtube music.I really want the dang APP and it's not on my computer an the app plays music it knows I like. I guess I could attach my phone somehow? Sounds complicated but maybe not, IDK.

If I could choose one music "app" to buy I think youtube would be it. It's just so gigantic and versatile. I cannot do subscription services though, so I use the free version. But sometimes the ads are FUNNY.

You know what is so weird about this whole illness thing? My fevers like WENT AWAY all at once! It was over a week after the hospital so I doubt it was the steroids that did it (I could be wrong.)

But just....every day a bit later and one day they were gone! It was jacked up! I mean in a good way but I don't understand a sickness that can fever you for 2 months and then say, "Bye?" it's strange indeed.....

I have not dared the Advil yet, although HOW I want to It's going to have be Aspirin and mainly for my back. The back needs to get better, I wish I could find my back brace. I have a couple corset type belts I use with various outfits so I put one on backward. It helped a TINY bit but not like my back brace would have. Sigh.

Guess that's what you get sitting on a couch. Honestly I'd be up sooner but I have to take the Aspirin (soon) then wait. LOL. I was trying to decide but I have to get in fighting shape soon. I mean 4-5 hours of clothing organization should not leave me so WEAK. So, push on it will be soon.

Anna

So glad I did not get the dread COVID positive and quarantine woulda been a big pain in the .....

Smart money's on the steroids having helped a bunch. They are awful but their magical powers cannot be denied.

Have a grand old time, @FranC. I hope the weather cooperates.

I doubt it, I've made this same mix many times just subbing different fruits. Don't go by me, you may love it.

 

[Zazie]

@FranC sure does.

not really been doing much mixing lately....
been working on a website

but played around today with something....rather kind of liking it
it's sweet but not sugary, if that makes since....
great mouth feel and not dry

tfa coconut .75
tfa coconut candy .75
pur fresh coconut .75
pur toasted coconut cheesecake 1.50
fw coconut cream pie 1.50
lb fresh cream 2.25
flv catalan cream 2
vt pudding base 2
inw cactus .5

though the toasted coconut cheesecake gives it just a hint of an almost burnt taste, i may omit that on the next try

2% of tfa is pretty strong. There are better ones out there as tfa taste like some kind of purple candy to me and not acai. Pur is pretty good and flv is good but has more of the cocoa note
