Final Post

Eight years ago this month, I began this journey.

With this photo.

Today, I am saying a fond farewell to all of you

dear wonderful friends.

My heart isn't in this any longer.

Last month, my son committed suicide.

Now, it's time for me to ... 

well, I'm not sure what I need to be doing next.

For the time being I'm floundering between

trying to settle things for Brian

functioning as well as I can

and trying to take care of me.

Please take care of yourselves!

With love, ~Gal

SomeBody Needs Rest

Working hard makes a body tired

but so does stress!

My son is living with me, and that's not easy.

He's a grown man of 34, but he's also a "kid"

in every sense of the word when it comes to

"adulting".   For the first month, I didn't charge

him rent because his accounts were hacked

and he needed a little breathing room to get

caught up again.  But he's got creditors knocking

on doors, and needs to step up his game with a

plan for his future -- namely, making sure he gets

his credit score up so he can (at some point!)

rent his own apt again!  I let time slide, to see

if he would get things taken care of .....  lol

Today, we sat down and made a payment schedule

through his bank so that bills are paid first, THEN

he has his spending money. 

Yep, I'm all about the *tough love* , always have been.
