All roads in and out of My City have be closed indefinitely as the snow squalls coming off Lake Huron are constant and making driving impossible. High winds with more snow falling are not letting up. They forecast for the next 4 days will be just as bad. Amazing how the snow is piling up on the ground. I am so grateful that I have no reason to go out and have enough food to get me through until next week.
Ed and Sue set out to come visit me but the roads within the City are way too bad so they had to turn around and go back home. They'll try again tomorrow. I'm not really upset by this as I go many other things to keep me busy today.
The Apt I was so excited about right downtown is now off the table. Just too expensive to afford. Glen and I had a real good discussion and I finally accepted that it is just too expensive. However, Glen put a nugget in my head to look outside of Ottawa to the smaller towns. I initiated looking into this with Charlotte sometime over the weekend. Arnprior is a strong possibility as that's the town Charlotte lives in and it's where I was born. Only about 20-25 minutes to Kelsey's. There are 3 other small towns within proximity to Kelsey's that I will also look into. I am still excited about searching these new possibilities. Lots to think about over the weekend for sure.
Yesterday, Saturday, turned out to be not as bad as was expected here in town. Ed dropped Sue off around 12:30 and we had a wonderful visit together. Sue gives the greatest of Hugs. Probably the best I've ever had. I love them so and give them back as hard and opening as I get. We covered everything possible regarding each of our lives to date. She even invited me over for dinner to help me celebrate my big 55yrs birthday. As I told her I haven't spent time with a friend(s) on my birthday in a very long time. I usually celebrate with Mom as her birthday is the day after mine. Mom's going to be 83 and that is kind of freaking me out a bit. I will go to visit my parents on Mom's Bday and we'll exchange gifts to each other then. I also showed Sue the apt I loved so much but can't afford. Showed her several other things from my Computer that we had talked about as well. It was a good and comfortable time together. I love that woman's heart and soul so much. Kris didn't want to Skype last night so we will this evening. I'm not really holding my breath because she has a lot on her agenda today as well. Will just wait and see if she does. I finished watching a great Netflix series last night. Meditated a bit then went off to bed.
Was a really good sleep last night and Rocky must have taken pity on me and let me sleep until close to 10 this morning. I was in very good spirits and spent the morning in meditation and music. Decided to watch this excellent French film that was a true story. Sent it to Kris as I think she'll like it too. Playing many Solitaire games online. It's quick, requires little brain power and I've loved this game since my Grandmother taught it to me about 50 years ago. Trying to get myself motivated to clean out Rocky's litter box and do some needed tidying up around the Apartment. I look like a really goof ball with my surgical rubber gloves and face mask on to do the litter box but it helps me and I don't care if I look weird or not. Can't handle the smell at all nor the fine dust floating through the air when filling in new litter. So be it. As long as it gets done and done right for Rocky I'm happy when he's happy with his stuff.
Sunday came and spent the morning in one for or another in meditation. It was blissful. Kris skyped me a little after dinner time and we had a great time talking and sharing our past weeks activities. Lots of laughs and very deep thoughtful discussion. Suddenly realized that we had talked for 4 hours so called it a night. It was somewhat like the old days of our discussions before life became difficult and crazy for each of us. I left that Skype feeling good and very happily content with were our friendship is now. A true, honest and open good friendship. It's now playing out exactly as it should and am beginning to believe in my heart and soul it will survive and prosper as time goes on. Exactly how I've always envisioned it to be minus all the drama and crap it had become.
A very sick and painful day yesterday after a very long night of NO Sleep. Glen did my shopping for me as I just couldn't. So am happily stocked up for another week or so. The day slowly got better and then fantastic News was brought to me by my oldest child Kelsey:
She was proposed to Last night at home by Bryan in a most romantic way. We all knew that someday this was sure to happen but no one knew when that day would come. I've been expecting it for about 5 years through all the ups and downs of their 8yr relationship. It was their 8th Anniversary yesterday of being together as boyfriend/girlfriend. They had planned to spend a nice evening together at home. Bryan cooked Kelsey a nice Roast Beef dinner to be eaten together in their beautiful dinning room set with their china and candles. It was sometime during this romantic dinner that Bryan proposed with a gorgeous ring. They Skyped me later in the evening to tell me their fantastic news. Her ring is incredibly beautiful and her smiles were bursting. I damned near jumped and fell out of my chair, hooting and hollering with such abandon for them. Of course I was the last of both immediate families to find out but I didn't care at all. The next year is going to be filled with this pending event. They think they'll be married in the spring or summer of 2016 as this fits into their plans for getting debts paid off, the mortgage well under control and work events that will be happening this year sorted out and well established. But I think most importantly they want certain things for their wedding and will pay for most of this themselves. Kelsey knows that I certainly can financially help even though I wish I could and her father can't either. But we will help in anyway we can, both financially and emotionally. She knows this and loves us both. It will be a bonding of 2 families that already like the other equally well. I really like Bryans mother and talk with her frequently. I have met his father several times but don't know him well but am looking forward to getting to know him better over time before they marry.
I love my future son-in-law very much and have long thought of him as son. We all love him and we all get along so very well. I'm very blessed for this family unity that's strong, happy and loving between everyone. These 2 young people are essentially 2 individuals who are joining together to become one in the pursuit of their dreams and desires together. What more could a mother ever hope for for their child.
I am very grateful for what is happening in my life today. For my childrens love and respect. I am grateful for the wonderful friendships I cherish. I'm grateful to Kris for letting me back in her life in this new very positive and happy way. I am grateful for the beautifully sunny day outside which is reflecting the sun that's filling my soul. I have overflowing gratitude for my life despite these crappy illnesses of mine. I am happy and content, very content, today
