I'm Back ... I Hope!

To say the house is still chaotic is being polite, but at least I have "dug" my way through my study to find my computer again. I will admit I haven't looked at LJ since I last wrote something, so if there is any big news please let me know.

I thought I would re-start my lj-ing with this amazing link -

That video is amazing.

I was stunned when I saw that video - great stuff!

I'm so sorry to hear about your Dad and beyond furious with Nick! How could he expect you to sell your mother's jewellery?

And after all the care and love and support you gave too.. grrr and grrr to Tim too for not standing up for you.

Stay strong! And as ever, if there's anything I can do to help in any way please let me know

Thank you, Deb. You are part of the small group of people that are keeping me going. Just knowing that there are a few out there who would help if they could truly makes all the difference.

Sadly Nick is Nick!! Although I suppose over this last year Tim has learnt to be busy so he doesn't have to do things he doesn't want to do, which in some ways is worse than Nick.

Thank you

You're in my thoughts and prayers.

Thank you, the support means everything.

Glad to see you're back, but sorry about you and your family's health problems. (I include Jiffy as a family member). Sorry Nick is being difficult. How I hate family members who squabble over heirlooms. Very astute of you to realize he has mental health issues. You have class; he does not. Hang onto your Mum's jewelry. She wanted YOU to have it.

LOVED the vid of Matilda dancing! (I can't dance, either). Her outfit looked more flapper than Big Band era, with the headband and fringe, but it was lovely nonetheless. She has neat ankles - I'm envious. Love the song too: Sing, Sing, Sing. When Matilda's partner dipped her at the end, I swooned.

Forgot to say, re: what has happened... Prince died, and Minneapolis is all lit up. The view from my condo at night shows tall buildings with purple lights outlining them, and there are block parties all over, commemorating his life.

I bet the purple looks stunning on a clear night.

Thanks - Nick has always had a lot of anger and health problems, but like many doesn't want to admit it to anyone, which he needs before he can get help. It is good that the rest of us are doing OK, though (Jiffy sends a woof!!)

I was stunned when I saw that video - great stuff! Yes, I just choked up at that dip.

Someone posted this on FB yesterday and watched it. Pretty cool. Sorry your Dad had another stroke and hope things go well for him. My Mom had a stroke day after Christmas and she is finally a lot better but took her a long while. It's good you are feeling better. :D

Dad is doing OK, considering he is 91, and suffering from Alzheimer's. I am really glad your mum is doing well, hopefully she has had some good follow-up advice on long term health. *hugs*
