Hello my darlling friends.
Well the food is ready, the shopping is done, the gifts are wrapped, The snow hill is done for the kids, by golley I am done, lol.
My daughter in law spent the day with me yesterday, we did some last minute shopping, and did the food, we finally finsihed at 7pm last night. I usually prefer doing things all by myself, but I must admit it was nice to spend the whole day with PheTina, she was a great help.
Today we are invited to my youngest sister's house, they are back from Cuba, and she has a surprise for my parents. Last Christmas, my cousin Monique and her husband Mark came down as they always do for the holidays and stayed at my parents. Last year they came in January, they come from Rouyn Noranda, Qc. A few weeks later they were back home, on February 14th, yes, Ste Valentine's day, Mark was coming back from work and was killed instaintly in a car accident. My 38 year old cousin Monique was suddenly widowed, with one child a 6 yr old daughter. Of course I didn't make it to the funeral, since it was soo far away, besides with my health being so unpredictable, I prefered staying behind. But my parents, and sisters had did the trip, so the big surprise is that she came down, along with her young daughter and they are at my sister Gina. Major problem for me, I just know I will have a panik attack the second I see her, soo I will need to take an ativan before I leave. Pray that I can make this step without paniking too much.
As for you my kind friends, may this Christmas Eve be fun and safe for all of you.

One day at the time

Have a Wonderful Holiday with your loved ones and thanks for all the gifts you give us all year long. Hugs Alexandria
I\'ll pray for you and you\'ll do fine. You\'re one strong lady. Thanks for everything. Skeeter
When do you first see your cousin? Will pray specifically the first hour of your time in her company. You shall be a blessing for her, but may never know how!! Panic attacks lose most of their punch when they are anticipated. Lovin\'Hugs my friend!
Good luck. Just imagine someone there with their clothes off and standing naked in the middle of a shoppin\' mall. And Lucy chasin\' their ass.
Keep it positive my friend.
I know this is going to be very hard for you. Bein\'s the first encounter and all...make the best of it for you and family.
After you do that...after the holidays...bring your shovel to Austin Texas. I need all the help I can get. We live on a hill of limestone. Can\'t very well hide much in rock.
You do know that I\'m joshin\' don\'t you? Hope so, coz
I am.
We all have our baggage. Some people have more than others.
Love you Mz. Mac,

Here I am Christmas Eve, just had to write in one more entry before going to bed.
WELL went to my sister\'s dinner party, and all went well seing my beautiful cousin.
She was just fine, greated us with laughter which made it all so easy.
SHE TOLD ME it took her 9 solid months, but she has return to work 8 weeks ago, and feels much better.
Like she said, she has no choice in the matter, and besides she has a young daughter to care for, so I was pretty proud of all the progress she had done since the tragedy that changed her life forever.
Merry CHRISTMAS to all of you kind friends.
