C just grabbed the phone and has decided she is ready to call her dad regarding both Christmas and guardianship.... I gave her lots of hugs before she disappeared upstairs. I think I'm more nervous for her now that I was pre-meeting.
((C)) ((MG)) I hope the conversation goes well.
I am tasking myself with accomplishing enough things tonight so that my only goal tomorrow will be to go and see my grandma. I've just been in such a bad place that I haven't gone there and I feel like shit over it. Turns out the lung cancer (oh, and it is definitely cancer and started in her lungs) started all of this malignancy. And it will eventually kill her. I need to talk with my stepmom to get all of the details but that can wait until tomorrow. So I am plodding through Christmas shopping online and making my shopping list for my stepmom's birthday dinner on Friday so I can go see grandma tomorrow.
That was a little more of a vent than I meant to post.
Oof. What a tough year you've had, Cass.
Are you holding it together?

The conversation did not go well - not a surprise. C was only able to tell him about the guardianship. Christmas never had the chance to come up. C then called her mom and just got picked up to go have coffee and some mommy time. Mom has been supportive, so this is a good thing.
Are you holding it together?
Most of the time.
Though I think I stopped about twenty minutes ago and am now wreckish. It's not the worst timing of the thing because while nothing else will get done tonight, I am exhausted and am going to head to a nap / very early night of sleep. I made a little bowl of pasta, am contentedly eating it and intend to doze off in a carb coma in just a few minutes.
My list will still be around tomorrow. I am certain of it.
Thank you.
MG, I am sorry that the conversation didn't go well. I am glad that Mom has been supportive during this difficult time. My thoughts are with you all right now.

Yay, vw's Mom!
{{{Aimee's friend}}} How awful for her.
{{{Fay}}} I'm so sorry. Tons of job~ma to you.
{{{Cass}}} I'm so sorry.
December needs too stop being bad to Bitches and their loved ones now.
Oof. I'm sorry to hear about all the problems, especially Cass and Fay. Wishing strength.
Fay - I just want to add Seattle to your list for consideration. Cause really nice town, climate has been described to me by my one Scottish acquaintance, as "like Scotland, except much warmer".
Melbourne! Which has been described as "not at all like Scotland, and much warmer".
