it's been way too long

I only have a few minutes but I needed to check in quick because I know how long it has been since I've done that, I suck! Anyhow for a quick update...

Mom's doing much better, not drinking, good outlook most of the time, getting out daily, and simply health wise a million times better then even the last time I wrote.

Dad went into the hospital last week, for the same problems he's pretty much always gone in for. They kept in a little while and two days ago he was transported to Sunnyview Rehabilitation Hospital in Schenectady (yep of all places.) It is ranked really high up for the best place for Pulmonary rehabilitation in the Country, so we have some decent hopes for improvement. They simply work with him about doing daily things around the house, dressing, walking, breathing techniques, physical therapy, etc. I think we had gotten to the point where it was either something like this or a nursing home, so this is a much better alternative. He already is showing some signs of improvement, if nothing else he is really stepping up and trying so that alone is big...for awhile it seemed as if he was just giving up. So that's pretty good news, we're not exactly sure how long he will be there but about 2 weeks I think.

Brian is doing very well...I'm not sure what to even write about the little rug rat :-) He's happy, healthy and beautiful, and LOVING the nice weather.

I'm seeing someone. It's only been a few weeks but I'm very interested and I care a lot about him, Brian really likes him, and he is pretty damn sweet to me...I'm not going to project, but I really think and hope that things with us will continue for awhile and progress with time. It's so amazing though, just the whole "new" thing, that I never planned on feeling again after I married Jim. The butterflies and excitement, all of it. He's also very cute if I didn't mention that before, lol. But I'm not going to go on and on about it, it's still very early. But for now I'm happy and looking fwd and optimisstic for a change, and I'm loving it.

Jim is still with his G/F and still having a difficult time even being civil....seeing Bri about twice a week. Eh I don't even want to mention it so that's it.

I've been going to a lot more meetings, which also makes me feel so much more hopeful and well. It's like medicine that I sometimes forget but when I take it I automatically feel great again, if that makes sense? But I've traveled to Saratoga for a few, obviously Glens Falls, but I love the mtg's, love the people, love everything I hear, I just love them - so it's good that i'm back in the rooms at least 2 or 3 times a week again.

I gotta go...actually to pick up the Guy - he's spending the weekend with me, mom and Brian, lol...should be awesome and i'm pretty psyched, so I'm not going to be late... :-)

I really will try and start to write more, promise....I miss doing it, hearing from people who read it and so on. I love you all and have a great weekend!!!

LOL

Quick one

I just wanted to share a couple pictures from this past Halloween - yeah it took me this long to get my hands on em, but I thought they were adorable so I thought you might like them too. I also wanted to share a few of my daily horoscope's and my daily tarot card readings, I signed up for them both a little while ago and have loved almost every one...but here are the ones I liked the best. So with that said, check it out! I have a bunch of random stuff to do for the rest of the day, then I have plans tonight (I'd call it a 3rd date perhaps). I'll write more soon.

"The World card suggests that you may have come a long way, baby, in reaching your romantic goals or letting go of the past. Now you could receive further gifts in your love life. Perhaps some family planning or a change in your relationship that can expand your horizons is in the works. Get ready for creative plans for the future. This may be the real deal. You could finally feel complete -- but it's only the beginning."

Today's tarot, "Power today lies in remarkable gratitude. I am not a victim."I've been there, done that, and know suffering -- but it's all good."" I'm still standing. "Can't touch this." Self-pity is an excuse to do nothing. To appeal to sympathy for pity's sake is to seek affirmation of the choice to do nothing. I am... empowered by the spirit and support of meaningful experience and I transform with resilience."

Leo: Take an opportunity to embrace some you time. As you contemplate how best to be true to yourself, you may find yourself ready to move past the mere illusion of what was or what could be. The confidence, peace or independence that you exude as a result can brighten romantic prospects or lead to improved intimacy. Y...our moment is upon you, so grab it while you can."

more tarot;Leo-power today lies in climax. It has all led up to this moment of anticipation and ""there ain't no stopping it now."" I have thrown my ""hat"" in and given it my best shot and have just as good a chance as any -- but the outcome is still up in the air. ""When it rains, it pours."" I am empowered by the potential payoff in this direction and I transform through timing or focus under fire."

Today's Tarot, i love these...The Eight of Chalices card suggests that my power today lies in space. I am true to myself and will only regret the chances I don't take to seek or follow my hearts desire. I turn away from or make a clean sweep of that which does not honor or sustain my passion and love, and in this, I am... not afraid to be alone. I am empowered to move forward or make space and my gift is letting go."

Leo : Power today lies in passion. Pursuing and expressing my hearts desire honors my love, passion, and beauty and is worth waiting & crusading for. What I lack in external means, qualification or ability, I make up for with a true and dedicated heart. I am not a victim therefore I do not need to be rescued. I am empo...wered by patience or self-worth and my gift is emotional availability and devotion."


I just think they seem to be mostly spot on for me and for the space I've been in recently....I like them, and usually get at least something small from them every day.
