I have been so brave. A spider and I seem to have had an agreement. She’s been on my bedroom ceiling about 3 days now, and I told her she needs to stay the eff away from me. Seems to have worked too. Because they understand what we say don’t they, I came up last night and she’d pulled!!! They were at it on my bedroom ceiling. She’s effed off but she’s still loitering, which is a bit worrying as I don’t want her dropping her offspring in my bedroom.

Graves. They’re a bit crappy aren’t they. And who are they really for. Not like the deceased is going to know what they look like, or how often they’re tended. I’d asked my mom if I could shove all these shells that grandma had collected whenever she and mom had gone back to New Haven, etc, etc. No one has done a thing with that grave since last year when I took mom up there. Considering her sister and her tribe of layabouts stole so much from the old dear while claiming they loved her soooo much it’s a pretty poor show. Grandma would be gobsmacked at me doing it as we never had a close relationship, mainly due to not meeting until I was 10. I can understand Lisa’s being in a mess as her elder brother has lived in Florida for decades and I have no idea where her younger one is. They could be dead too for all I know. Her mom was always there but she died 6 years ago, and is buried with Lisa. Anyway, mom's house… That’s All Folks! And about effing time. I need to shift all the stuff I dumped on the drive into the back garden but at least it’s now all here so I can get on with sorting it, and this place. I could do with it not raining for a few days as none can go in the house yet as that desperately needs doing first.

Finally feeling back to normal. Normal for me, at least. I don't know what was up with me yesterday. I just felt really all day. If you aren't familiar with this word, it means "a general feeling of being unwell, not feeling well, or being a bit sick, weak, or delicate. It can also imply weakness or a delicate state of health." Or, as Suzanne Sugarbaker once said, "that disease where all you can do is lay around but no one can prove that you're not really sick."

Celebrating the day the greatest man to ever be in my life was brought into this world. So grateful to be able to call you my father. Your support means the world to me and i don't know how I would survive without it. Happy Birthday Dad! If mothers don’t have a choice in taking care of their kids why do men get a pass? It’s really easy for them to dump the kids on the mom and say they can’t. XYZ. I don’t think it’s fair. If she has to find a way everyday so should they.
