Day's End

And that is what I am thankful for.

I am horrible for that, but points for honesty, I suppose. It was excruciating to drive over there without him (I know I said I wasn't going to but I ended up caving. See guilt spoken about later on), know that he was not going to meet us there (as he often did on holidays because one or the other of us would stay longer than the other wanted to), and that I would be stuck with my mom and my grandma for the duration of the afternoon. I admit to crying…

Home Alone

James is spending the night at Nana's (my mother) and going to the Packers/Lions game tomorrow. Nicole went to a concert...and so here I am. My very first night before Thanksgiving spent all by myself. I look at this picture and t…

"He held you back a little bit..."

Someone...someone very close to me said those words to me (luckily over the phone) today. And I was crushed.

It burned, it stabbed, and it is still-and always will be-poking its way through my heart.

Terminal Disconnect

I always mean to go to bed early. And I never do. I never have, to be honest.

I worked "a teeny bit" today. I had promised my father's girlfriend that I would do an appraisal on her mother's house for their estate. I inspected the house itself today and will try and finish the report and the operating income statement (they are thinking of renting it out) sometime this week.

The Outlaw

This is a compliance quicky. I will write more about it tomorrow. I spent the majority of the evening at my brother in law's house because James wanted to play with his cousin. My sister in law recently had surgery (as in Tuesday) and I wasn't sure she wanted to be bothered by it all...but she's doing really well. It is the same, as far as James is concerned... but not the same for me. Trying to not think of one's husband is a hard thing to do when one is looking at his brother. It is good and n…
