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!

I actually slept really well last night! It's always hit and miss with my feet "yelling" at me all night. Once they settle down, I can sleep solidly. Bliss!

After I was up, breakfasted and showered, I texted The Heir (as he is most likely to answer me) and told him I was ready when he was and was his brother attending as well? He texted back about 1/2 an hour later to say they were both on their way.

I had a bottle of apple smelling lotion that I wrapped up for mom as well as a cupcake with a candle in it. We drove over to her place and met her in her dining room. I was pleasantly surprised/pleased that she knew exactly who the kids were, even though they tower over me and her (in her wheelchair). We sang to her and visited very briefly, then were off to eat our lunch.

The Spare had seen a Korean BBQ place in a strip mall and we tried it. So.Delicious! But I don't advise getting the shrimps; heads, tails and shells on. Cleaning those puppies? No. But the chicken, beef and pork belly were to die for!

Afterward, I took them for a shop and I loved them to the tune of $250. They needed everything. Srsly. I finally got to see the house and it's a nice little place. If they can get it cleaned up and keep it nice, it'll be great. Got to see their girls and an old friend of theirs from high school as well (he's the one who christened me "mama bear").

Got home a little after 4:30 and now we is just chiilin'.

As far as reading goes, I finished the Debbie Reyonolds book and the Tudor book by Philippa Gregory. Now I'm reading The Watchers; A Secret History of the Reign of Elizabeth I by Stephen Alford (wonder if the Virgin Queen was a slayer - *snort*).

Probably I'm going to go veg out on the couch now.

Toodles!
