Happy Easter

So.. Easter morning breaks dark and gloomy. Kinda figures, eh? Must admit I've been in something of a funky mood. Each new death in the family seems to undo my ability to bounce back just a little more.

Glen's doing ok. As I've mentioned before, the good and bad news of his condition is that things basically don't matter much. The distance from happy to sad to angry to whatever is minute. So while he knows his mom died, it's kind of an abstract, and the lack of a service keeps it kind of an abstract.

He managed a full blown escape this week. I'd gone out to the yard because I couldn't find Buffy. Workmen had left one of the side gates open. Luckily it was just the inside gate, so she couldn't get out, but was able to get to the garage. Not a safe place for dogs right now. Got her inside, and well gosh darn it.. I had to pee. And my bad.. I forgot to double check the deadbolt first. So I came out of the bathroom, and Glen was gone. Jumped in the car and drove the way I thought he'd go, but it still took me 5 to 10 minutes to find him. Seemed like hours! I will admit.. I was reeeeeealllly angry when I found him.

Yesterday, was doing dishes and heard the front door open. Yup.. I'd forgotten to deadbolt again. Dag nab it.. I like leaving the front door OPEN with just the baby gate across it. I hate feeling locked in here. But at least I heard him right away so he didn't go anywhere. Ad the good news is he does remember his phone number, and Kev & my cell numbers. But OY!

Kids made dinner for my birthday, and followed it with a Baskin Robbins thin mint and chocolate ice cream cake. Yum!! Friday, Sharon and I went out to brunch, then for mani/pedis. OK, we couldn't get into the place we'd planned (long story)... who knew WalMart has a nail salon! Talk about your one stop shopping.

So right now I'm catching up here while waiting for Kev & Rushi to come over for Easter lunch, before Kev has to go to work and I'll take Rush home.
