Losing a parent is hard. Inevitable, but hard. They may pass on quickly, but your relationship with them dies slowly.
The first few days and weeks you’re adjusting to this new normal and you have these impulses to want to call your mother to tell her about what’s happening in your life. But she’s not there. And she’ll never be there again. You stew over all the things you could’ve done differently and said differently. It doesn’t seem real. But it is.
Life is fragile, we all know it. But we rarely treat it that way. Hug your kids. Hug your mom. For many of us, it’ll be the last time, but you won’t know that until it’s too late. This was the last time I spoke with my mother. Just two minutes. That’s it. If I only knew.
I was shocked at first to hear that President Trump pardoned Democrat Henry Cuellar. But now that I think about it, I think it was a smart move.
My reasoning: He is a well known Democrat Congressman and now he is on the media circuit (although not the MSM circuit) talking about how he was targeted and prosecuted by the Biden Administrations "Weaponized" Department Of Justice. His words not mine.
Did President Trump do it to get a Democrat on his side??
I don’t like these short winter days. Usually we produce more power than we need with our solar from March to November. Cloudy and short days made us break even with us to the positive by 2 kWh in Nov. I hate paying for electricity. I’ll likely burn through my credits this month and pay my first electric bill in Feb for our Jan use. Dec 20 is the shortest day of the year this year. Looking forward to the days getting longer so I can start cutting firewood again for next year lol. Yes I’m a power Nazi. Not a green weenie. We try to use our resources and not rely on an outside governed source for basic needs. But my daughter asked for pizza this morning and I’m a sucker. lol gotta use the oven. I’m thinking about a brick oven apparatus that I can build that can set on top of the fireplace and removed when not in use. Any ideas.
