And……we are here.

In Lenoir Tennessee that is. Long story-very complicated and has me mad enough to ……………

Late start due to S.O. getting the cat taken care of and other things, but we did not hit the road till about 3:30. That was not the plan when I woke up this AM.  Decided not to try to go all the way tonight-especially when we got on I-75. man its a lot more crowded than I remember it at the ripe old age of 9! 😀

My daughter is coming next week. That’s good. How it transpired with my sister setting up the arrangements ;meddling where she was not asked………is not good. However these are weeks that bring out the best and worse in people and I have to remind myself of that. HOWEVER, down the road-she and I are going to have a “discussion”. Now is just not the time.

We did luck out and get a hotel room, right next to a Mexican restaurant. Margaritas were in order. I had probably about 2 too many. But it was a short walk back to the hotel. I needed one. The S.O. told me a great story that I had never heard before-not knowing my Mom very well she did not realize that my Mom was kidding-but never really knew how to convey that well. She told me that at the airport, during the weekend when she first met the S.O., when I was off in the restroom or whatever-she told the S.O. that she had better take good care of me.

Or my Mom would kill her, she said. And then pointed her finger at her like a gun. Not being used to that type of dark, only half humorous, humor-she was more than a little taken aback.

But Mom was right-with my family, taking care of me is the only prudent course of action for her. God bless you Mom! I need all the help I can get.
