I'm at the office and have a lot of work to do since I was walking for that city council person yesterday.
BUT I DON'T WANT TO DO ANY OF IT.

Also, for those of you that don't Royal, Prince Phillip finally croaked. I know. I feel weirdly sad for queen Elizabeth. Can you imagine spending 75+ years with someone and then having to go on alone... |

Can you imagine spending 75+ years with someone and then having to go on alone... It broke my grandma - she and my grandpa got together when she was 17, married at 19. they were together for 70 + years when he died and she just was so lost without him. She lived another 12 1/2 years but she was never quite the same. |

Also, for those of you that don't Royal, Prince Phillip finally croaked. I saw this alert as I was packing M’s lunch this morning and said “finally?!” Then I felt bad. I think everyone was expecting and waiting for it, but I still felt bad that i thought that first. |

Also hi! I’m feeling a lot better today. My arm still feels bruised and looks blotchy (?) but no more of that agonising nerve pain. I picked some wild mushrooms, steak and a bearnaise sauce for Dh and me tonight, should have gotten a bottle of red wine too 🤷🏼♀️. I feel we’re missing a lot of people at the moment, but my memory is so shoddy at the moment... Anybody had contact with [mention]snoopmommymom [/mention], [mention]cagoldi [/mention] [mention]flamingo [/mention] lately? Hope they’re all okay. vino today’s the send off right? Good luck & big hugs! |

My parents have been together for over 42 years, To picture either one of them without the other.... |

Good luck & big hugs! I talked with cagoldi a few weeks ago to get her input on some of the things I was looking at for B since I know she has done a lot of research for her kiddos. She was good, but busy. I told her we all missed her and she should check in here when she can! |

It gave me peace when she passed a few months ago. She got what she wanted. And she believes they will be together. |

Their partner usually goes shortly afterward, like within the next couple of years.
You also see it in people who worked all their life, then they finally retire and pass away after just a few years. It's not fair.

Although I agree with all of you on losing your spouse, I feel like Lizzie & Phillip didn't have that same kind of marriage. I believe they've been living a part for awhile.

I think it happened with my parents. My mom passed on 12/2009 and my dad not even two years later. They knew only of being with each other in spite of having friends and family around. |

Morning.
Work today. Not too bad of day so far. I’m finally letting the people at work know I’m moving. 😬 They still have 2 months to figure out a replacement, but now I’m wondering if I should have told them sooner. 🤷🏽♀️
I am an over thinker and I’m working on it.
We are supposed to have a baseball game tonight, but there is a storm heading in, so it may get here before we play.

B starts soccer tonight and S starts baseball tomorrow. We will see how B does. He's not so great at listening and playing group sports/activities. He's a sit on the sidelines kind of kid. But he has been talking about it all week, so hopefully he'll participate! |

Morning. The husband is off for his ex, I'm currently washing the bedding and fluffing my sheets, WOO HOO!
Over the last week or so MH was very adamant that we celebrate my birthday before he goes. I was very adamant that it was not going to happen. I am turning 40 and I am not ok with it, I brushed him off saying that we'd celebrate in June when he is back cause I'm not interested in celebrating early. Anyways, we were kind of annoyed at each other cause we werent on the same page, and I didnt get why he wasnt dropping it. I come home yesterday from the store and they surprised me with a new set of golf clubs! So not only did he want me to have them in case I can get out in the next couple months but he couldnt hide it anywhere behind my hanging wedding dress in the spare bedroom, he knew I'd find them. ha!

So nice! vino That’s sweet. That also reminds me of how me and my are. He’ll be adamant about something like that and I have no interest and it’s because he had something planned but didn’t want to spill the beans. |

After I gave my two managers the news::
Head guy: Man, you were a great hire. We hate to lose you.
Me: Thank you. I’m a little sad to have to leave.
Second guy: Not as sad I as I am to lose you.
They are gonna make me cry. 😢
For me this is the worst part of moving. Having to walk away from good jobs and good coworkers. 😔

Morning. Not much planned for the day. I’m running out to the garden center shortly to hopefully get the crabapple tree I’ve been thinking of for a couple years. DH and the 2 littles are home, H is at school. I need to unpack from the trip still.

I’m a couple of years behind you, but I hated turning 30. I’m imagining 40 to be the same. I never thought I’d be ‘that’ person. Eta oh and I’m sorry I missed you already saying you were not okay with it... fast reading is a blessing, but you also miss stuff sometimes 🤦🏼♀️. |
