before i blog today, may i go on the record first and say that i have been having dizzy spells all today. this isn’t epilepsy related, just possibly noteworthy. so, noted.
it might have something to do with the fricking cold. can you believe that it is going to go down to 10 above tomorrow? this is in a town that doesn’t have central heating. sela and jasper’s class trip to the farm tomorrow will be cancelled unless the weather drastically improves.
i am living the life of a single mother. oh wait, except i am still married.
but yesterday i made pork chops in the slow cooker and we started the week off right by JASPER finishing his meal first. granted, he still needed me to pile the food on this fork, but he still was the first to finish. this is HUGE in his life. kept me going in the wake of the fact i was the one having to do all the reminding and whinging and tough parenting arsing aspect of things.
today, a good day but a sad one – does that make sense? denby left town. i am sad for my kids, i am sad for me.
i didn’t spend much time with denby, but we were friends. her husband gave me very good advice, and encouraged me. and she had stuck with me through some very scary times in my life and i had prayed myself into a coma during some very difficult times in hers. and i had watched her children thrive. she mine. and now she is leaving. she has had her heart’s desire granted. she is going back to adelaide. i will miss her. we did share some amazing times. i will see her again.
hong kong is a transient city, those are the facts, and that brings sadness. that is the emotion.
