One man's mess is another man's paradise
Emma came to visit, actually she's been over a few times. We always have fun shopping, planting flowers, eating, watching movies.
But the best time of all was during her first visit. We opened up the chip collection in an effort for her to pick out some of her favorite chips to have framed. I wanted something to hang on the wall as they are quite bare.
We made the biggest mess...
...and I loved it!
She made her selections which are now proudly displayed in the living room. I spend all my time there since there is no bedroom furniture or dining room furniture.
I left the mess alone for several weeks, only recently picking it up to vacuum. Perhaps we'll do it again for Conor when he comes over revisits, or maybe even Trevor, if he ever comes over.
On the other hand.
I miss my kids and I miss Mary Beth. As much as I love having the young ones over...it can't ever compare to seeing them every day.
I beat myself up every day for letting things get so out of hand. Being by myself is not enjoyable.
I feel cold and so very...
very...
alone.
