Martin Luther King Day, a national holiday in our country, was under celebrated today because of the pandemic. It was certainly very quiet here with just my sister, my granddaughter, and I. I finally started to read “A Promised Land” by Barack Obama-he’s a really good writer!! I was drawn to his story from the first sentence in the preface. I’d probably still be reading it if I didn’t have to put a 7 year old to bed. I swear she still suffers the effects of in uterine drug abuse by some of her behaviors, especially at night. Its harder than hell to get her to go to sleep. It’s like she comes alive at night. Her mom didn’t do her any favors when she chose to continue using heroin, or meth, or whatever was her drug of choice while she was pregnant with this beautiful little girl. I hope for her sake, it’s gets easier for her as she gets older.
Accomplishments in 2023
I spent nearly the entire first 7 months of 2023 cleaning my Dad’s house so we can sell it. It was a lot of work. It took me way longer than I hoped it would, but I was finally able to get Glenda over there to work on the kitchen while I did the rest. She and Mary helped in Isabella’s room and the kitchen . Both were a lot of work, especially the kitchen. I ended up renting a storage unit to store items from the house and what we were able to salvage of Elaine’s belongings. I took a lot of stuff to Goodwill, some to a recycling facility, and much of it I threw away. I’m not sure why my sister and her daughter and their friends didn’t throw it away themselves. They had so much junk and garbage. I spent an entire day in the barn with my brothers cleaning it out and filling a dumpster with stuff that was destroyed by mice and water damage. It was sad how much stuff we had to throw away. Then we walked around the outside of the bar...
