Today was a bit of a roller coaster. It's been 5 years since my dad died. In those five years I've watched a couple of my brothers turn into idiots, I've dealt with being betrayed by my husband's asshole brother and had to watch my son go through hell. My mom has deteriorated to the point where she can't hold a conversation and barely remembers who I am. I mostly stayed positive today. On my drive home from work I thought about the good times with my dad, when my mom still had her memory, when my brothers and I had fun when we got together. I'm thankful my son has had more good days than bad lately. I'm looking forward to seeing my older boy and his girlfriend next weekend (not getting sad because they're leaving for Kansas the following weekend). I'm grateful for my new job which challenges me. I remind myself I have a select few friends that have my back and I can be completely myself with. I'm also grateful for a husband who puts up with my shit and loves me even when we argue. I feel like I'm heading in the right direction in my life. I have no clue where this ride is going, only that I'm going to hang on tight and scream with joy when hitting the highs and scream with rage when hurtling down the hills. Hope y'all have a good night!

I changed coconut to peanut butter in my edit. She changed it back. She added coconut to an edit of my chapter I'm posting tomorrow (I definitely took it out.) The coconut war has begun!! Death to flaky white Devil dandruff!!

Thanks. Luckily we're in a stretch of sunny days right now.

One thing I've learned with my son, it's a cycle that constantly repeats itself. Clouds eventually give way to sun, then roll back in when you're not looking. Your poetry speaks volumes. I'm not fond of this one because it hits so close to home. It's difficult to be the one asking for the promise, with no guarantee. But we hold onto every promise. I'm glad you have Michael. No matter where your inner thoughts are, he will be there to hold the bucket for your tears to fall into.

Thanks. It's one subject that's never interested me. One of my brothers is vegan. He occasionally will scarf down a non-vegan cookie or five.

Tha gauntlet has been thrown!

Totally agree!

Or maybe he should try to escape through the sewers and die by forgetting that it's Super Bowl Sunday and when everyone flushes at halftime he's inundated and drowned by disgusting sewage. 🤣

Had several little things stand out this week, but more importantly I've actually noticed a difference in how I see things. I've realized that the positives now outweighs the negatives. It feels good. I have a sticky note pad on my desk that I have started writing positive affirmations on and I've added the two from @Mikiesboy and @rickproehl. Thanks for those! Happy Friday!

Hmmm, I like the way your mind thinks.... sorta twisted-ish! 👍🙈🙉🙊

First, Greene.... I will neither confirm nor deny any possible hypothetical theories. Second, let's get one thing straight... I don't do clear sailing 😉🤣🤣 Third, Jett's not perfect... but close. Fourth, who the hell knows what motivates Evil Dr. Greene? Fifth, are you a lawyer? You definitely can out-legalese me any day! 😆 Last,

🤦‍♀️

Thanks! There's a lot involved with therapy, no matter what the reason. The key is finding a good therapist that you're comfortable with. Parent Talk is up next...

Honestly....I claim writer's prerogative on this. I just didn't feel like researching laws and charges. (topic honestly bores me... I prefer medical dramas to legal dramas....sorry any lawyers!) I took the easy way out!☺

Actually.....now that you mention it. I'm submitting a 1000 word story for the June Pride Flash Fiction Challenge. Forgot about that... yup, no cliffie with that one!🤭

I'm sure there was ice cream in his cart! I don't think Kim is shifting responsibility. A therapist's job I'd to help their clients make decisions that will be beneficial to their mental health. For all we know her therapist will tell her it's a not a good idea to mee Megan right now. Kim still has the final say. I'm sure murder charges will be discussed, exactly what happens....🤐

Possibly......

What would you do if if I ever wrote a story that went straight to HEA without any speed bumps or twists? Can you really see me writing something without a damn cliffhanger (or three)?🤣🤣

Maybe not major drama..... Naaahhhhh, who am I kidding? I love drama! 😉

Naaaahhhhhh... next few chapters are pretty tame. 😉

Jett watched as Kyle closed the door. He immediately went and wrapped his arms around the man. He couldn't help but feel a wave of pride. So far Kyle was handling everything that had been thrown at him quite well considering the severity of the whole situation. Kim’s revelation had Jett completely floored. He never would have guessed in a million years the trauma that his sweet neighbor had endured. He was awed by her strength. He leaned down to give Kyle a quick, reassuring kiss. “H

Still a little itchy, but much more manageable now. For such tiny little creatures they sure do pack a punch! You definitely know when you've been stung. Have a good day everyone!

Good to know. I rarely go off-sidewalking with the dogs, but inevitably I get bit/stung by something. I swear insects see me and think 'all you can eat buffet' I've had a pesky gnat in my office the past week and it loves dive-bombing my head. Hope everyone has a good day!

Yup, it was a couple of doozie intensive chapters. Kim and Megan may or may not be able to come to somewhat of an understanding when trying to figure out how to fit into each other's lives. It's going to be hard to find a happy medium. Jett and Kyle are both mature enough to be able to be proactive and not reactive when it comes to relationship building skills. We'll get to see a lighter side of them soon.
