Still here
I didn’t mean to disappear. I’d like to read and update LJ in the morning, but it seems things come up and once the day starts rolling, the next thing I know it’s 9:30 PM.
I’ve been busy with Mom and the animals. The end of 2022 and 2023 has been pretty crummy for me. I still grieve the loss of my dad. I’ve been through a lot over the last ten years especially the five years. I’ve also had some big financial expenses that are going to make things tight for a bit, but I’ll be OK.
For a while I was also feeling overwhelmed with the house and property. I’d been holding out hope that some of my relatives would help me (they often offer to help in the future and the future never becomes present) But that’s ok. I know now I can’t count on them and I actually feel more free. I’m ready to really declutter and get things cleaned up for autumn.
I’m motivated to declutter physically and mentally. For years I’ve put up with a toxic relative and I will no longer. I always did this out of respect for my grandfather and the memory of my grandma. But this person has caused so much damage. Nah. I’m done with that and it feels great!
I’ve had good moments despite all the low points. Most of it is in terms of personal strength and resilience.
Well, I hope to share some pictures soon. I know I probably say that on every post. :)
PS: Is there a way to view the friends' page in my journal style? LJ redirects to a "feed" and it's awful.
