Hello, Sunday

Good morning.

First, Izzy.  It's not going well.  Little girl hates the cats.  Today will be the deciding day.  My guess?  She's coming back to us on Monday.  I have a possible 2nd application that looks super on paper.  Fingers crossed either way.  She LOVES the people, LOVES kids and is otherwise doing well.  That's the good news.  My heart hurts for multiple adjustments -- it sucks for her.  Duke has been frantic with her gone too.  Back and forth will be confusing for them both.  Fostering is a rollercoaster of emotion -- for us all.

We started watching Money Heist for our series date night -- 4 parts, we watched 2.  It's a thumbs up so far.  A little like Ocean's 11 movie.  I think it's Netflix.  Heard about it on Instagram ... where I get all my "important" information LOL.  Thanks, Influencers.
UPDATE:  4 parts is actually 4 SEASONS.  Hah.  Each part is 13 episodes.  We thought we were halfway, but we have barely begun.

My youngest comes over for a haircut and meal pick-up today.  We'll mask and be outside.  Sundays are the hardest day for me.  No Course in Miracles and no kids over for dinner and games.  Sundays feel the most different, the most lonely.

I've said it once and I'll say it lots more ... thank goodness I have no wine in the house.  Wine WAS a huge crutch for me.  I had no idea how big.  Last night was a blue-ish night with news of Izzy and anticipation of a lack-luster Sunday and I WANTED WINE in the biggest way.  Our neighborhood was having a bonfire party at the clubhouse creek area -- frustrated at their dumb decision and envious of the social fun.  EMOTIONS everywhere.  If there was a bottle in the house, I would've opened it.  Lordy, I don't need that as a habit.  I don't have an issue with drinking and Q2's goal should NOT including finding one (!!)

This week won't be boring though.  It's a Costco week (no wine buying though) and cleaning week.  Both take up my back abilities for each day.  Tuesday is my eldest's birthday and I'm going to go for a social distance walk with him.  I'm also possibly meeting a friend at her garden bench for a social distanced, masked in-person chat (weather withstanding).  Probably a couple of Izzy things happening too.

Head up, mind right and moving forward in the new normal.  Some days are harder than others.

Stay well. XOXO
