I'm doing 36 things
Right now, I just don’t want to. She did something hateful to my husband, and I despise her for it. I want to get away from the hag. OK… she’s not a hag. She’s just different than me, and I don’t think right now is an optimum time for us to make peace. I think we need space, which we’re working on. I have hope that we’ll get along better in the future. She’s the mother of the man I love more than anything in this life, and I owe that to her, at least. He wouldn’t be who is, in part, without her guidance.

The course was incredibly boring, but I learned a great deal. The 3-hour exam was from hell, and covered a few things the course never even mentioned, but believe it or not, I passed!
Stuff.
It’s everywhere, and I’m tired of living with it, packing it, moving it, cleaning it, and almost never using or looking at it. Be it E-Bay, charity, or the dumpster, I am determined to rid my house of things I don’t love or need. I need to be surrounded by things that bring me joy or fulfillment, and “STUFF” doesn’t do that! Why do I continue to dust that ridiculous knick-knack that I hate, but I keep because Great-Aunt Bessie gave it to me? Why? Get over the guilt, and get rid of it. Oi!
