Welp, my sister talked to my dad and he said he'd think about it and then walked out of the room. He doesn't think they need help and he doesn't want to move because he likes the weather. We might just have to make the "visit" and only buy a one way ticket. Dang. I’m sorry. Well at least she got a I think about it and not a flat out no. I support this one way visit. |

Or is he in denial about how much time he might have left. Maybe if it's framed as doing it for your mom he'll listen? I have no idea. I told my sister about it and she's going to try and talk to him about it again. He's probably more concerned about his sailboat than he is my mom. Lol. |

I’m sorry tgrimes. I’m glad your mom is seeing the light now though. Hopefully your dad comes around soon. |

tgrimes I’m sorry. Dealing with little kids and aging parents at the same time must be so difficult.

My friend who lives in Florida and had her first baby in September came to the beach today. It was so good to see her. She is the kind of friend I would have gone to see at the hospital the day the baby was born but pandemic and of state ruined that. She had the baby, her H, her stepdaughter, and her MIL. It was tough because stepdaughter speaks limited English and MIL speaks none but I used my 338 day steak on Duolingo and we made it work.
I just found out my favorite custodian is being transferred to my new school. I’m so excited because I’m a little shy in new situations and he is not so I will soon know everything about everyone.
Tomorrow I’m going home for the first time in 2 weeks. Will probably go to the beach in the morning first for story hour since C loved it and now yells “there is my teacher” every time we see the teenager who runs it in the beach. I think I like just sitting on the beach and having everyone I love visit me. I could make a living out of it.

Hey, sorry it’s been a few days. I can’t remember the last thing I updated about but Thursday we went to the water park, Friday we went to the outlets and then drove home. Saturday we did a little unpacking and hung out with friends. Sunday we went to the parade downtown (I was surrounded by trumpers and was not pleased about it) and then to our friends’ house to swim at the lake and then do fireworks. V was not impressed by the sound so her and I ended up going into the house to hang. She fell asleep and I watched the fireworks out the window. It was also 98 degrees on Sunday and Monday. Yesterday I ran some errands, did some cleaning and laundry. We had a thunderstorm in the evening which was nice. I went to David’s bridal to get my bridesmaid dress ordered, and the employee was rude and didn’t seem to want to help anyone that day. The estimated arrival for the dress is one week before the wedding, so I’m crossing my fingers it comes sooner because I will need to have it altered for sure. I also discovered I have something embedded in my tire so I had to put air in my tire in the rain. That was not fun. We got more rain today, I did some more puttering around the house and then worked tonight. I was excited to go back to work, but as soon as I got there I was annoyed. People just don’t know how to do their jobs and I’m sick of picking up the slack. tgrimes I’m so sorry you’re dealing with all of that. I hope your sister can convince your dad to move. Maybe one last sail on his boat will help him to let it go. |

trtlcrzy He hasn't been able to step foot on the boat in years. They used to go to their dock to visit all of their friends but he can't make it down the ramp anymore.
