Good evening, everyone. Hope all is well.
I'm baaaack!!!!
2017 is going to be a good year....I will make sure of it. Long story short, all the stresses from the last 3 years hit me at once around Xmas & I went into a weird dark place I never want to see again. I think the tipping point was the death of the little fish.
Got myself into a wee bit of trouble financially, in trying to keep my parents' home (I finally realized that I shouldn't keep it as a shrine to their memory, it was eating me up emotionally and sending me deep into debt). Now that the emotions are under control and I'm back to what passes for normal in my world, I just have to stick to a budget. Meh, it will all work out, even if I have to forego my fav holiday this year (Feb 15th - half price chocolate day!).
Oh & in the you-can't-make-this-stuff-up world I live in, a bit of the debt came from moving some furniture from my Mom's place into my little home. Movers were great, it wasn't their fault that some very old china cabinets literally fell apart as they were lifting them to put onto a dolly (if only it had happened before getting onto the truck!). I could see that being my Dad's idea of a practical joke, so I burst out laughing. Movers were just happy that I wasn't yelling at them (they kept apologizing and wondering how it could happen) when 5 pieces started the journey, but only 3 made it into my home.
On the plus side, the critters are doing very well. bff (who was by my side through Xmas, while my other bff was dealing with her first Xmas without her Dad) decided that we both needed a break from reality & found us a cheap vacation. So I spent last week in Vegas, lots of walking (& eating!) & since the Ghiradelli shop was next to our hotel, I had to stop in each day to pay them a visit and get my welcome to Vegas chocolate sample. I am now back to my old normal happy-go-lucky self, thank goodness (I don't think the critters could handle my crankiness a moment longer). Lily dog stayed with a friend of mine and was spoiled rotten (to the point, she was reluctant to come home when I went to pick her up). Quincy cat, OTOH, was not happy. Another friend looked in on him (first friend has really bad allergies) and never saw a trace of him. When I got home, he poked his head around the corner, meowed softly, then screamed as he raced towards me. I spent the next hour holding the poor boy (who wrapped himself around me whenever I tried to set him down). He's still a bit wary & watches me more than normal. Lily dog keeps trying to convince me to go visiting.
Right now, things are topsy turvy in terms of living space. I have furniture all over the place (my friends came by to help me move things, but had to leave before we could finish - they're due back later this week). And I have boxes. Everywhere. Quincy cat is not impressed that they are all filled and he can't nap in them.
Sooo, lots of work in the weeks ahead, changing things around, starting a new chapter in my life. And doing my darnedest to never be unhappy again (too many wonderful things to see and do in this world to waste time feeling sorry for myself!).
Off to snuggle with a needy cat. Night all.

Good Morning everyone. Have a great Wednesday!
Feeling unknown and you're all alone, flesh and bones by the telephone,
lift up the receiver, I'll make you a believer!
Take second best, put me to the test, things on your chest, you need to confess!
I will deliver, you know I'm a forgiver!
