I can live with this. I also am and have been for eons now, a partner. I do not share this burden alone. Another e-mail from daughter. The lady they were supposed to be connected with- the lady that bought the Nevada land- was not able to sell whatever and is broke!!! So not sure what daughter is doing for sure- do know that she has squatted on a piece of land for 30 days so now must find another spot. I do know that she has paid a car payment. And that it costs gas for her to get to town and a computer. I do know that I do not intend to send her cash. We are not a bank. Maybe in a week or so we'll put together a little box of food stuff and send that off but that's it folks. And so far the weather for daughter has been dry- cold nights but dry. She must be under tremendous strain.
Today I am making bread sticks. Beer meeting tonight. I volunteered to bring snacks- and I refuse to buy bagged chip type crudola. Hubby insisted we bring along a salami stick so we'll do that. The bread sticks have a bit of flax seed, almond meal, sesame seeds and less than a half cup of shredded cheese besides white flour. And nutritional yeast- I think it adds cheesy flavor with its protein. The dough is warming and probably rising in the warmish oven now.
And for the evil reality: tomorrow is Veteran's Day. Hubby will be off work. My evil plump sister is forcing me to tackle making lemon filling for little tarts this afternoon- I hate separating eggs but I will give it a go. Hubby is a sweet one- he has agreed to have tea time with me tomorrow. I am bowled over with admiration for this little Bavarian teapot that I just purchased. Very Victorian and girly. It has a 'top knot'. 'Nuff food porn.
I did make a good for us chili last night. And I talked with one of my sisters. She so loves to rag me about sleeping- are you still not sleeping well?? Give me a break, dear sister. What is- is. I blame some of the rasty sleeping/exhaustion on waking right now on my working this last story. I know where I am heading. Just got to hammer some more on it. Hammer with a strong handled tool.
So thankful you heard from daughter even if the news was not all that great. At least you know she is alive and somewhat well. I support you standing firm on not sending cash. It is tough to stick to your guns when you know they are in need. Awe, yes, sleep or should I say interrrupted sleep. My mother used to say there was no rest for the wicked. If that is true, I must be extremely wicked. Two nights now I have been between sleep and wakefullnes most of the night and wierd, wierd dreams when I did drift into more solid sleep. Right now pain is not so bad so no pain pills to knock me out. I so hate the side affects of narcotics. The bread sticks sound totally heavenly and healthy at the same time. Do enjoy your evening with friends. AND the added bonus of have your DH home in the middle of the week. I had a bonus day with mine on Saturday since he usually works on Saturdays. We went to breakfast, then ran errands, cleaned the dog yard and put new shavings in the dog yard. Do take care of yourself and I hope you are able to get some sleep tonight. {{{{{{SUPER HUGE HUGS}}}}}} V |
As hard as it probably is, I have to agree with not sending cash. I'm glad you did hear from her, and she's OK. Being a parent, even of an adult, isn't easy, as we all know. Do you really think the nutritional yeast tastes cheesy? Everyone says that, but I don't think so. It's a nice warm flavor, but it doesn't say cheese to me. |
