HAPPY SATURDAY!

I am sitting in the living room at the 'new' computer that my son put together from spare parts, enjoying the warmth of being on the main floor where the radiators blast out heat. What a difference!

I don't plan on using this computer full time, as my computer in the basement is chock full of bookmarks, PDF and image files, and the like, but I am enjoying the novelty.

My West End friend is due in from Ewen anytime now, and I am really looking forward to finally having a friend around to talk to and do things with. It's been 2 weeks since we've had the opportunity to spend the 'weekend' together, so I'm overdue.

My youngest daughter is cooking pancakes and bacon for breakfast and the smell is delicious.

I'm feeling so much better since I took matters into my own hands and brought my granddaughter's playpen and food over to her other grandmother (who sees her daily, apparently). Although it hurt a lot to step back and let go, it didn't hurt half as much as it had when I'd been sitting around week after week wishing that my son (her father) would change his mind about visitation.

I feel like I've taken my life back again. My life has so often been lacking things and people, but it is still my life.
