Thank you. It has been much better for both of us I think. I am glad I didn’t back down from my boundaries though. A decade ago I would have and just stewed in misery . I am so glad my 50’s brought me confidence and knowing who I am and that I am not being unrealistic or selfish in asking people to respect me and my boundaries. I also have misophonia so her constant need to fill silence with yapping drives me INSANE, I mean to the point of rage. So I asked her to please stop.

My mom and I are getting along better . We have had our dust ups though. I told her to STOP complaining and whining and be grateful for everything and everyone we do have. Also stop trying to fill silence. Silence is allowable and necessary. I went away last weekend to see my husband and say goodbye to a friend who is moving 10 hours away. When I came back she was a changed woman. She has started participating and doing some clean up and arranging and getting her own coffee and washing dishes etc. It is a great change and I thanked her for improving the place from when I left . So thankful she has cheered up.

There is a young moose walking around town.😵‍💫

39 years ago today I graduated high school. 😵‍💫

My baby boy. It is so hard to believe you left this world 17 years ago. It doesn’t seem that long . We miss and love you. ❤️

As someone that was sexually abused long before I was married I wouldn’t put up with their behaviour either .

I would just not go. You are in the right here.

Yup. I had 3 jobs and full time university and slept 3 hours a day. If I could do it anyone can.

She needs a job and not to travel. Parents aren’t responsible for our education and life after leaving home. She is an adult now and work is what adults do.

It is also called the May 24, because lots of beer drinking happens and a case of beer has 24 cans. 🤣

Happy one to you too!!

Hahahaha we call it the May 24 or It’s official name Victoria Day, because it is the day we celebrate the Monarch’s birthday. So it is the weekend closest to the 24th but not after it .

That is for sure . I had a great sleep last night and we got the AC fixed. It was a simple fix, the furnace needed to be reset . It was 81 F in the house . Ridiculous hot for Canadians . We were all pouring sweat and my mom’s asthma was crazy and my allergies were so bad. My sinuses under my eyes had swelled so much the fluid was coming out my eyes. My eyes were pouring water all day. That is gone now . My cats feel much better . We all do.

Happy unofficial start to summer!
