Getting a letter from my therapist today, telling me that she cleared her calendar to accommodate therapy sessions on Saturday's. It wasn't working out for me to go after work and I am tickled that we can resume my PTSD trauma therapy again. :balloon:

Watching little Daisy Lynn toddle around. Her mom has been staying with J and my son until she gets on her feet and she's doing a good job of it. She 's been hired at the post office so J was babysitting while her mom went to orientation/did training, something like that. Daisy is a really sweet little girl and a very easy child to look after so it was a nice, pleasant day.

Knowing I made somebody laugh. :D

Thursday, my physical therapist told me that I light up the room when I walk in and make the time happy and fun.

:cowboy:

Nothing as of yet but I've got my fingers crossed....:hangloose:

My little holiday tree.

It’s a 36-inch tall gold tree in a gold glitter pot. The branches are as thin as twigs. I bought a string of battery-powered lights for it.

It’s perfect and is just adorable.

Mom and I scored a sweet 6' fresh tree with stand for 10 bucks. Yay!

:smileyXmasTree:

Chad, scoring a great deal like this even made me smile....

I accidentally fell asleep on the couch and napped, without having first locked Monte in his bedroom turned cage. When I woke around 11 last night I immediately panicked at the thought of what he might have done to the computer cords or Christmas light strings while I was zonked out. However nada, nothing, not a chew mark anywhere. What a relief! :) See this proves he really can behave so for him choosing not to is truly optional. Now I can see correcting him isn't cruelty but rather a case of tough love.

Realizing I have nothing to do and nowhere to go....:hangloose:

I got to make real changes in a couple of peoples lives that will have lasting impact. One was to finance (through a grant) a few months worth of bus passes for an elderly woman displaced through domestic violence so that she can get to her doctors appointments and go grocery shopping and just get out when she wants to.

The second was to be able to move a young woman out from living in her car to living inside where it is safe and warm.

Both are people who will take those bridges and make more of themselves because of having it.

You must feel wonderful for accomplishing this! Kudos easygoingfemme...

It is really good when I can help make tangible positive change. So much of what I do has no end to it. When I can get from problem to solution in one bang. Major win.

Yup, no doubt easygoing! And I bet, of all the gifts you give this holiday season, those two will be the very best......
