Good morning everyone! It was debatable whether my work computer would start today, but so far so good. I have current backups. This was a fairly busy weekend. Friday dinner with friend. Saturday CUE HALLELUJAH CHORUS LOUD, I got an adoption application on the newest foster cat! Then, I went home and did some cleanup while waiting for DD16 to arrive. Realized just in time that we were transferring her at xBFF's party. Of course, that meant I had to see the x and the other woman at the party, but everything else there was good. The x and the other are being particularly nice to me right now. Wonder what they want? They have asked for some (perfectly reasonable) extra time with DD16, which I have agreed to. Maybe her x is giving her trouble. He goes strictly by the exact wording of the divorce decree and never budges an inch, even when it would benefit him to do so. (HE told me this early on, not she, and I have observed the consequences. Am I an evil person if I smirk about her having to stay home while my x and DD went to his parents for Christmas?) Another cat related hallelujah - Briggs is done with his oral steroids. I will always have to give him allergy meds though. He does better on the oral steroids, which make him hungry, than the injectable, which make him nasty tempered.
DD has decided to be Arachne Soul Eater for Halloween and the costume can be assembled using one of my dresses as a base! Rare day for DD to want to wear a dress. She will have to dye her hair black (temporarily of course). I also realized another dress I already own could be a basis for Queen Elizabeth. It's more of a cocktail dress, so there will need to be something to create the illusion of sleeves. The color is one Her Majesty has worn. I have white gloves and can make a hat.
Sunday, DD and I made church. She said she had missed it. She appreciates it more than most kids, because the x prevented her from going for several years. He didn't forbid it, but would not take her or even drop her off. His own brother was disgusted with him! It was a special treat for her when she found someone willing to let her tag along. We went to the local amusement park for a few hours then I took her to youth group. Then, I decluttered glassware, got donatables out of the house, did LOLs, and did bills and budget. I have also restarted Christmas crochet.
Tonight, I may be having dinner with traveling companion friend. I will definitely need to continue the crochet work.
Recommend Ensure for Ramblinrose. I practically lived off it when I had gall bladder trouble.
While catching up, I found Harmony was having problems with a Word template. Is that fixed?
