Having dinner tonight with my DIL's mother. She is determined to fix the strain between my son and his wife and my husband. I enjoy her company, but don't think she can accomplish miracles.
I've really got to learn to just do the damage and get out of town. It's the 'stay and gloat' that gets me every time.

Spike's Bitches 49: As usual, I'm here to help you, and I... are you naked under there?
Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I enjoy her company, but don't think she can accomplish miracles.
Maybe she's going to lace the five-layer dip with Ecstasy.

We are going to our favorite Sushi/Thai place. So at least I know a happy belly will happen. Nice day so we can eat outside too.

Guess who still can’t move her arm and also has a uti?

You've got friends to have good times with. When you need to share the trauma of a badly-written book with someone, that's when you go to family.

Oh Laura, I’m just catching up on everything happening with your younger son. I’m so incredibly sorry. This must feel like such a blow after how close you have always been. I suspect he and his DIL will realize they are being asses eventually, but no one deserves this less than you and B. Much love to you.
Also, yikes, sj! So sorry you’re dealing with so much pain and discomfort!

Laura, I’ve been nodding along in sympathy but haven’t had a lot of spoons to respond.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
What the hecking heck, sj? Rough stuff.
Happy tummy, Laura.
We have worked so hard for eight months (longer actually, my staff noticed news reports of impending pandemic in January and started extra-vigilant cleaning at the group home then without me saying a word) to protect the people we support and ourselves. I'm so angry at careless, foolish maskholes.

sj that socks. I hope yours is as bad as mine is. Also I highly recommend taking D Mannose (its the sugar in cranberry) if it's a mild enough UTI it can help reduce the duration and also it can help prevent it. Inhave started taking it again every day. It's not irritating like cranberry can be.
Laura I hope that this dinner will help start to repair your relationship with your son and his wife.
