The cure for loneliness...spending time with people you love who also love you. I had a terrific Thanksgiving. Nearly drama-free. My mom put in a fourth quarter rush for the goal line but her attempt to mar my favorite holiday was unsuccessful, for once.
After much stressing over the finances - I decided to just get what I needed to bake. Spent under a $100. which is still too much. I can use some stuff for Christmas so that will help me later. I know I'll probably be freaking out next week but I'm choosing to enjoy the moment.
My baking adventure has turned into a mini Stay-cation with friends in Chino. (I had a great time baking with Jordan & little Sophie. They are thoughtful, smart and love to be in the kitchen. So I had a lot of help - I don't think I could have done it all without them.)
I got to be with 2 of my 3 adopted families. Spent a lot of time talking, laughing & reminiscing with my sweet friends. The 'got snowed-in in Bakersfield' is my favorite memory of all time. I really miss my friends - I miss being with people who really know me.
Got a text followed by a call from the Invisible One and both were sweet. When you have zero expectations of someone - any little thing they do is wonderful. I hope to find myself in a different kind of relationship soon. Hanging out with Jake & Niki last night reminds me of what is possible. He is such a loving, kind, funny, generous & handsome man - and he LOVES his wife & family. It is beautiful and it's what I still hope to find.
Holding on...Keeping the Faith...Grateful for what I have...today...
