Had a very weird moment just now. Was on the phone and, for the first time, unthinkingly said "my mother's house" while referring to an event in the past instead of "my parents' house". I've been saying "my parents' house. Well, my mom's house now" or having to think before I said it. This time, it just came out. I'm not quite sure how I feel.
Yeah, it was a little weird when I started talking about staying at my dad's, or my dad's house.
I got used to that pretty quickly in the present, but when I was telling a story about something that happened when my dad was alive, it was "my parents' house". I was talking about my surgery 5 years ago and said "my mom's house". It was just wierd. I mean, it's not like I hadn't accepted his death or anything, it's just weird.
I haven't been through that, Vortex, but I grok the weirdness.
Barb, that is wonderful!

I am eating chili and cornbread and wishing I had more room in my stomach.
Roomie has made the cat exchange. Nik has gone to a no kill shelter and Lucy has joined us. She's has IBS and can't eat other food. Wish us all luck!

The Boy called to tell me he was working late, but was going to leave soon, and did I want him to pick up Indian on the way home?
Dear god I love that man. Mater paneer, aloo saag, and the best garlic naan I have ever had are on their way!
Congrats, Barb!
{{Vortex}} It is weird, when things change in your head and you only realize it after it's happened.
Steph, I used your chili recipe! OMG, I might explode.
Vortex, after my mom died Dad sold the house and moved into an apartment. So "their house" turning into "Dad's apartment" was different enough that I didn't really notice it. But it was odd transitioning to "visiting Dad" instead of "visiting the folks."
Congrats, barb!! How did I not realize it had been bought, even?!?
Hil, that's crazy, but also sounds like a relaxing April or may, at least? And...are you month to month? WTF? Don't they have to give some notice on that rent jump, jeez!
Steph, I used your chili recipe!
Woot!
I am eating garlic naan as I type. If I die right now, I will die happy.
