September 27

Crazy but full weekend. Sandy and Tee went to Salem - without inviting me, as usual. So I had a free day Saturday. Carol and Allena and I went to the Shelton Farmer's market and bought a few things. And we brought a few cans for the United Way Harvest Home thing they do every year. Then we went to Common Bond. Love that place and I think Carol may be addicted too now. LOL!!

Then we, with Anthony too, went to St. Mary's Knights of Columbus pig roast which was really porchetta roast. All you can eat pork, chicken, hamburgers, hot dogs, salads, beer, etc. Really nice. It was only $15 per person but Linda Coppola had given us the tickets for free.

Today was pretty much stay home and cook and clean for me but it was still a good day.

Watched the super moon eclipse with the neighbors. It was very cool.

September 23

Happy Autumn! I love this time of year.

Back to work. Really didn't want to be back - I do and I don't. Today my throat tickle has gotten worse. I'm trying to kick it out. I do NOT want to be sick. It's AUTUMN!!

September 21

Been home from work since Friday morning. They sent me home because I had a slight sore throat and they were worried I'd be sick for today. But I didn't. Today I had the stent taken out and the left kidney blasted. We'll see -- feeling ok but not great. :)

September 16

Mid September and I should have been posting answered prayers. While my children aren't embracing one another at least they're civil. Anthony and Karla stopped by yesterday because Kayla's taking art lessons in Shelton on Tuesday nights. Carol wasn't home but Allena got to play with the dog, Molly and the Anthonys had a nice time together.

I went out for a few hours and when I came back Samantha and Diana were here and Carol was laughing with them and stuff. Miracles do happen. Thank you, Lord.

We are overridden with fleas. God help us!

September 7

We went to Bob's in Southington and with my credit, we put a nice recliner couch on layaway. I only owe another $550 or so. But its worth it. And we got a Wee Recliner for Allena. That we were able to bring home.

I'm still worrying myself to death about Carol and her nastiness with her brother and his family. None of them deserve that. None of them. And I don't know how to handle this.

I have to call the urologist in the morning because I am still bleeding and sometime clotting. Not good.

Spencer's 'grandfather' the guy who gave him the house, died over the weekend. Spencer found him that morning when he went to let the guys dog in. Poor Spencer.

September 6

Stayed home all day. Sorted some cabinet stuff. There was a crash out front and all I could think of was our cars. It wasn't someone was speeding in the next lane over and smashed into a car who smashed into a car -- five or six vehicles involved in all with no one hurt that I could tell, thank God.

God I really need you to change Carol's heart. To give her back the love that she lost. To have her love her brother and family. I don't know that I'll live through it this time. And my time is nowhere near.

September 5

Bought a car today and will be paying on it for six years, God help me.

Anthony said Carol told Sam she's not going to any family things -- holidays or birthdays. WTF? I can't do this.

September 4

Buon Onomastico to me. And Carol canceled her surgery. She wants one or two teeth done at a time. And tomorrow I may be able to buy a new car. God willing.

September 3

Regular day and a good one since there were no meetings after work. Carol is having dental surgery tomorrow -- they're taking out her wisdom teeth and two others. Keep her safe, Lord, please. Thank you.

September 2

Missed a day again. Anthony's 36th birthday. I couldn't go up because I had to pin Chris at the Elks. She became a member last night and I sponsored her.

Tonight was Cosmic and it was a nice meeting. We do have some things planned and that means I may not be able to participate in the Cultural Commission Halloween stuff. But I have no idea when that will be anyway.
