Bad news has always been the thing that scares me. I'm fairly confident that I won't drink when things are going well but bad news? This is when I need to get my guard up. My brother has taken a turn for the worse. They're giving him a blood transfusion. I'm so scared. I love my brother so much. He understands and accepts me for being me. Since Dad died, he's the one I'm closest to, out of my birth family. I need him to be ok. My sister in law asked me to phone my mum and update her and my mum was horrible to me on the phone. I think she's so disconnected to her emotions, are doesn't know how to respond. She doesn't know what to say so she lashes out. I try to understand it but that's when the voice in my head said '**** it. This is too hard. I try to be positive and kind but what's the point? Seriously, what's the point? Bad things happen to good people every day. It would be good to block the world out for a while'. But I know it's just a voice inside my head. It isn't real. It isn't even speaking the truth. Not really. Yes, bad things happen to good people everyday but that's not the full story. Good things happen too. Loads of good things happen. And being positive and kind brings me joy. That's the point. There is a point. So I'm going to drive round to my brother's house and babysit his three kids so that his wife can spend the evening with him at the hospital. I'm going to put my fear to one side and be of help to others. Thoughts are just thoughts. Actions - that's what matters xxx
I am so sorry about your brother's turn for the worse, and praying hard that he will be alright.
sNot sure why so many mothers and sisters and brothers (etc) get to be as cruel as your mum and my sister are....some people focus all of their bitterness on one person, and just rage at them. I don't understand the psychology to be honest....they are perfectly nice to everyone else, but unleash their fury in a very directed manner.
My dad would have said it's because they can. And that it is a very deep character flaw....it is a decision to be cruel.
But you know what? there are so so many beautiful people in the world who don't act this way, and we are both finding them on this amazing journey. Good things happen indeed....glance at your sparkly elf....we all care for each so much.....that is kind of beyond good. That is a wonderful miracle.
Thinking of you and your brother love....hoping that I will read on and find that he is alright.
s xx ❤️❤️

We will go with you love.
sI have experience with this (someone close to me) fairly recently, and it wasn't too bad an experience for them, other than having to deal with people snoring. I hope it passes quickly, and they have a good program and maybe even nice food. Love and prayers and we will miss you. And see you very soon.

24 on this Friday morning in DC.
Venus, I hope your TMJ is subsiding and feeling better. I'm a grinder at night, and jaw pain is about the worst.
Kenton, I'm sorry about your brother. Please hang in there and I hope he's on the uptick.
Very mild temps forecast for awhile here, near 70F tomorrow. Sure, I can do winter like this!

Final day off. I’m feeling better but I’m just so tired. Currently laying in bed. I need to handle a bunch of errands and chores today while the girls are in school because I won’t have time next week to do them.
my mom called last night to tell me my sister in law is pregnant with number 3. I have no idea why it bothers me so much. I feel insanely jealous right now. Perhaps because I’ve always wanted three but reality has sunk in that I will never have that opportunity. I just feel like I’ve missed out somehow. Adding a third to our family would be immensely hard. I would definitely have to quit my job which I adore. Not to mention how stressful it would be on an already strained relationship. But their relationship is definitely strained as well.
I’m heading for a hot shower and will get myself dressed for once this week. Congratulations to everyone celebrating milestones today!

Jail time was punishment by boredom and a thin mattress. I bought some inexpensive slippers from Walmart the other week and a neighbor said to me, "I see you got jail issued shoes." Cringe. Time for new shoes. lol
