TR, I am so sorry. I think the Venmo idea is a lovely gesture.
I think everything this week caught up with me today. I came home from the mall, frustrated at there barely being any kid shoe stores anymore and C needs sneakers as she has none that fit. I hate ordering shoes because I am not sure how things will fit and then hate having to return items. Anyway, before coming in the house I read a post on FB regarding Kavanaugh and I just couldn't take anymore. Why is a man's word worth so much more than mine?? Since the dawn of man, i feel like nothing has changed in how sexual assault is viewed and treated and it just makes me despair for my daughters. For myself. So i had a good cry and then ran over to my mom's old place AGAIN to take care of the trash. I am so tired of it all.
I'm so sorry TR and I think the venmo idea is a kind gesture.
My day hasn't been very productive as I've been just relaxing, reading, and watching tv. But after the shit week I had I figure I deserve it. Have a bit more laundry to do and then also going to a restorative yoga class tonight which I know will help me sleep well.
I need ham like water Like breath, like rain I need ham like mercy From Heaven's gate Sometimes ham salad or casserole or ham that’s free range, all natural I need ham
I finished reading last Sunday! What did you think of it? I thought it was an excellent book (though the topic was rough with current events)
I had totally forgotten what it was about because I added it to my library hold list months ago, so I went into it not expecting what it was really about.
I agree with some others that the build up was a touch monotonous at times, but I like hockey and overall enjoyed the character development. From the rape scene on, it was just so very well done. That scene was gut wrenching for me, especially after this week, and I definitely cried at random points throughout. I thought it was a really well written, compelling read. I'm looking forward to reading Us Against You.
I didn't know that was what it was about either! I just had read it was a good book so I put it on hold and forgot about it. I thought it had a slow start too but I really ended up loving it.
And thanks for jogging my memory, Us Against You just came up on my holds list today and I couldn't rememberer why I had reserved it lol. Because it is the sequel! I have had 5 other holds come available in the last 1.5 weeks so I need to delete one to download it.
Last night I had a deep conversation with some friends. They just talked about how it’s amazing how much I’ve grown, how much happier I am, and how much my self confidence has gone up since my divorce. Hearing all the kind things they said about me really made me want to cry.
I got back from Haiti last night and I’m exhausted. Exhausted but so so happy. This trip was amazing in so many ways. It taught me so much about myself and people who have so little. I missed my family so much but part of me is so sad lot to be there anymore.
