I've packed 3 boxes today and moved 5 out to the garage. Starting to really see a difference in the house.
Tomorrow we are supposed to go get Mac fully into Community College with a shot record and his high school transcript.
You're nice, and you're funny and you don't smoke, and okay, werewolf, but that's not all the time. I mean, three days out of the month, I'm not much fun to be around, either.

Oh that's good!
No movement on the birth certificate here -- the most promising pile where it might have landed is a bust.

Well, if he does it, that's a start, anyway.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
It must be so hard with these adult kids. Aidan is still in high school, but SYlvia is two years out and dropped out of community college. She has a job cleaning if in a hospital which is regular, full time etc, but only because of another friend we know. And Maria worries about thing s like dinner, which I swear my mom stopped caring about at like 12. I just had to figure it out if I wasn't home at dinner time or didn't like what was made. But what do you do if they don't.

I know how exhausting it is. You are doing an incredibly difficult and thankless job.
Sorry to say my eldest remains dysfunctional. If I don't go to his place (which I pay for) and wake him up and bring him here to work for me he will stay in bed all day. I make him shower. I make him eat. Basically at this point I just make him work for me without pay because I pay all his bills. I'll get another burst of energy and continue on my endless quest to find a way to fix him, but it is a full time job and I get tired.
Meanwhile his brother just bought another new car yesterday. He and his wife have 3 new cars and are working on starting a family. It is super hard not to compare, and I never do to them. The younger brother actually helps me take care of his brother. Gives him rides, and tries to engage him. Helps me find him when he disappears. If he isn't self reliant before I die I at least believe his brother will watch over him.
Blah. Monday. I had a super chill weekend. Reading. Watching iZombie and Parks and Rec. Back to the saltmines today.
DIL is joining me on a fitness quest. We designed "Holt Theory" based on Orange Theory but with our own plans. Bike 2 miles, do this set of weights, walk/jog 10 minutes, do that set of weights, trampoline 10 minutes, do a set of stretches. That sort of thing. We laid out several scenarios so it varies. Should be an hour long session. First try is tonight so we shall see how it goes! She has her fancy Apple Watch or whatever it is called to track her vitals. I could use my tracker from Orange Theory, but I am not interested in stats so much.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
My sister is working with a remote fitness trainer through a program that gives her an Apple watch while she's subscribed. Her trainer has access to whatever fitness stats the watch is collecting, and in the meantime she has a "free" Apple watch!

Nice perk! Tate is crazy about hers but I don't really like wearing any watch so I don't think I would like it.

Thrive to spite them
My day is being very Monday ish. I wanted to be in NC by 9 am at the latest so I wouldn't spend all day doing stuff up here. But do to an alarm not going off and a series of mishaps it's 10:10 and we aren't there yet. We ended up taking a weird round about way that added about half hour to the trip.
