I am NOT going to go into details because I know that *this, too, shall pass* because we have a lot of love and forgiveness in our family. And...know what? I choose NOT to be unhappy. I love my family but no family is perfect and shit happens. There's been some discussion going on among us all over it but we have all chosen to accept that SHIT HAPPENS! But we refuse to let it dampen our happiness or feel any anger, hate or hurt feelings. That's the way things should be in a family because we are all imperfect and often get caught up in events that spin into something no one ever meant to happen or be said. AMEN!
I had a great day with my sister, Cee today. We did some things that we had never done together, including making some delicious split pea soup while making some other stuff for our Thanksgiving at the Princess' house.
I'm looking forward to listening to Chewlee show me what she has learned already (she's only taken three piano lessons so far...I think!) on her keyboard. The Princess hopes she does well and, if she does, she is planning on looking for a real piano for Chewlee to use. That will be so cute to see her play one...if she persists. I know she had told me a long time ago that she wanted to play the piano but I knew she would need lessons and that would be up to her mother (or her paternal grandfather, who adores her too and has the money for it).
But, of course, her poor mother has to take her back and forth to her lessons and that's no mean feat from where they live to where she takes the lessons. Good thing it's only once a week. And then there's listening to her practice (which her mother makes her do every day). But, I gather from some comments her mother made, that she was given the keyboard first and what she played was so awful that anything would help her improve....LOL!
I'm going to be bringing more to the dinner than I was told to make just because I am so looking forward to it. The Beast isn't even objecting to it because he's getting a lot of it to enjoy, too. I broke out some nice platters and dishes to put everything in. Some of them I haven't used in a couple years. This one glass tray I have, I have had now for over 35 years. I bought it when we lived in San Diego and really wanted to get the whole set. I had an extra tray but I forgot who I gave it to now. I just hope they love theirs still as much as I love mine.
I still have two more things to put together...one is two small trays for deviled eggs. I even got my electric shooter down to give the eggs a nice filling that also looks good. I'll have to make sure that Johnnycakes is ready to help me bring everything into the house. Otherwise, I will probably have to make two...or possibly three....trips...LOL.
My back has been hurting me since I was on my feet so much today. Not much I can do about that since it's more the result of being rear ended three different times while I was driving. One time when I was at a complete stop a driver hit me doing 65 miles an hour. He tried to avoid me but didn't make it....happens when you aren't really paying attention to traffic...his car was undriveable afterward but my hardy Plymouth Fury, with it's unibody (all metal) at the time, wasn't really hurt all that much. But the cops that were parked nearby, and saw the whole thing, saw my head whip forward and then backward. They wouldn't let me move until the ambulance got there to take me to the hospital because they knew it would be bad.
I really thought I had hit my head on the steering wheel but didn't understand why my forehead (outside) didn't hurt. It ended up that I had a severe case of whiplash and a compressed pelvic area. It was where my spine meets it, just to make that clear. That's the area that hurts me most of the time. It is also causing me to walk a lot a bit bent over...like so many old ladies do. I hate that but can get around it if I take a pain pill. I just hate to HAVE to take one, if you know what I mean. Lord, I never imagined I would ever get this old. I don't recognize that woman in my mirror. *Sigh*
Remember when you were young and all you wanted was to get older??? What the hell were we thinking???? It sucks!!!
Enough. Love you all. Take the time to tell all those you love and appreciate having in your life that you do. Life is short and you never know who might not be here to hear you tomorrow. Worse, what if YOU weren't here to tell them that tomorrow? Stay warm. Be happy and have a great day! ***Hugs***
