Hi kids! *waves*

I've been MIA, down for the count, out of it. I totally missed the 12th day stuff, I've been....yeah. Missing.

Nothing dire, just life. Yanno? Another (yes, yes, I made a doctor's appointment) uti, new glasses that are kicking my butt (progressives, getting old ain't for sissies!) and dealing (albeit long distance) with my stepmom and her shenanigans. Yikes!

I'm adjusting to my glasses, uti is under control, mom (I call her mom) is settling in to her new routine and the two step sibs have each other's backs. When life isn't going well, I tend to hibernate and just...not. Now I'm back to being me and life doesn't look so dim. Cycles.

The upside is I've been reading like mad. I'm on my 9th book this year (which, yeah, but I'm just getting started!) and I have two more on hold at the digital library. I have plans to reread a bunch of stuff I have here, so that's a go. I'm still making bears and boobs for charity and that's good as well.

I also deleted (geez, it's been over a year!) all the old yoga stuff. Trying super hard to just let all that go. Not worry about "them". I started back at a new place once a week. That is refreshing to get another yoga perspective. I'm still dithering whether I'll continue my personal teaching once His Lordship retires. Right now, I'm leaning toward not, but we'll see. His original plan was to retire around his 60th b-day (a year from May) but now he's thinking he doesn't want to do another winter of getting up in the dark, shoveling out and driving with idiots up the highway. Again, we'll see.

The Heir is in Cabo this week with his gf's family. He's having a fantastic time. They have lots (and I do mean LOTS) of money so they are at a fancy, all inclusive resort right on the beach. He's called me 3 times just full of himself (and the free wifi!). Silly boy. He made an interesting, spur of the moment comment that went something along the lines of "...I'm marrying money...". o-O

We'll see is my new mantra.

I'm making corned beef, et.al. today and The Spare is supposed to show up. I also made a new recipe: Bailey's Chocolate Chip pound cake. It smelled divine baking, I hope it tastes as good. His Lordship's pal W is coming over as well.

So that's my story. Sorry, again, for not commenting or writing. Sometimes a girl has to chill.

Smooches to all!

*hugs* I've been chilling this weekend and avoiding all new sources. Sometimes you just need the break!

Glad things are sorting out.

I tend to hibernate like that too - and I have also been reading madly.

I think His Lordship has a point about retiring before the winter hits badly next year; there is a god deal f pleasure in knowing the idiots are out there, and you aren't!

The cake sounds really good. I haven't done any baking for a few weeks - I should.

My problem is not the baking, it's the 'having'. Too much. Hmmm, maybe the firefighters want some goodies....

;)

Ha! Youngest Cee’s GF comes from money and they throw it around! We will be the poor relations if they ever make it official (could be - they are moving in together this year - eeep!).

Glad you are back here and have some yoga work.

I'm happy for him. I hope it works out like he plans.

Just got back from yoga and it was great!

The cake was not a lie!

Chilling is always good. The only bad side is when you decide to chill for a while and then all the time slips away without you realizing it.

Of course, if you chose to chill in my direction so I don't miss out on you, that's okay. :)

One of these days, Ima surprise you!

You delete stuff? You DELETE data? This would be impossible for me!

Most of it was emails and fb stuff. When I keep seeing it, I keep repeating it. Yanno? I tell people all the time to stop watching/reading stuff (politics) that makes them angry. I need to walk the walk, not just talk.

I'm already feeling better. ;)

(And? I threw away all the stuff I got from there. Made my life a lot easier!)

I'm glad things are getting figured out.

That cake sounds divine!

Sometimes, you just gotta chill. The cake was wonderously good.

I feel that on the deepest of deep levels. People are idiotic at best and snow makes it worse!

Exactly so!
