The Catering!

I'm remaining calm, cool, collected and pretty much 99% disengaged from YSD at this point. Not due to her necessarily but the lack of parenting and blow back I get when I try to do ANYTHING.

I do take her, once a week, into town with me and drop her at the bus stop that is my transfer point as well. This causes no issue for me and it's not out of my way. She knows the drill.

OT: good bye my darling

I had to say goodbye to my beloved baby girl kitty this morning. She held it together while we had our family visit but I knew by Tuesday morning it was time. She was ready.

I'm a mess, but DH has been there for me.

I'll love her always.

College Blow Up

Well, that call didn't go well. The good thing is I didn't hear anything until the end as I was doing my yoga routine and was all relaxed, so that was excellent timing.

Here's the outline of what DH told me.

OSD was supposed to call DH this week to talk about college according to BM. Of course after DH explained his reticence to BM to help pay for OSDs college since she hasn't spoken to him for over two years.

Nothing all week then last night after dinner around 7:30 BM tells him OSD will call him tonight (Friday). From BMs phone.

School Schedule v5

So YSD was with us Friday after school - today, Monday a.m.

School Schedule v4

DH is a lucky, lucky man.

We had friends stayting with us this weekend who were in the last stages of packing a moving truck and moving across country today. She mentioned that they had decided to get rid of thier older car, just sell it cheap or donate it. Wait a sec....DH said, how much? I'm interested! So viola DH now has a car that cost less than $1K, perfect for local trips, serviced at a local shop, taken care of by people we know.

He's relieved and less stressed already. As am I.

School Schedule v3

Finally had time to talk with DH about YSDs schedule issues and driver's Ed and a couple other things like her not learning new adult skills.

School Schedule v2

I posted this in SV/PA blog, but a follow up for everyone is here.

YSD did a 'dry run' of her 2 hour commute to high school from our house this morning - school starts on Wednesday. Yes, 2 hours. Because it's near BMs. And the commute in that direction is really bad. That's ONE way.

school schedule

School here hasn't started yet, not until September.

YSD decided last year to go to high school near BM. It was understood that it likely meant YSD had to stay at BMs during the week and would change to EOWE and a few more school holidays to be with DH. She can walk to school from BMs.

Last night at dinner I was talking about the crazy bus schedule in our area and how they haven't revised the Covid schedule yet, which makes it very difficult or not possible to take transit to the city.
