You’ve got a year and a half on me. 😹😹

I can SO relate! I didn’t think one of us would survive my son’s teen years, but before he hit 20 he was apologizing and telling me he appreciated everything I’d sacrificed for him. Too bad it didn’t last. His wife and I were close, but she turned on me over some imagined slights. Unfortunately it means I don’t see as much of my son and granddaughter as I’d like to. Though she convinced my son to buy a house down the street from her parents at a ridiculous price! And she stays home to watch their daughter... The housing market here has been booming with low interest rates. God help them if they go up or if the market deflates!! Of course, I wasn’t consulted until after the deed was done. But that’s a long and ugly story... At least I’m more than welcome to see my grandson. My step-daughter hated me as a little girl, but realized in her 20’s that I was one of her best allies. LOL

I love to crochet and sew! I wish I lived in a place more suited for long walks, but I get those when we go to the cottage in summer. I’m off on disability, trying to get them to let me work from home. It would be beneficial to both sides. I’d make more money and they’d have the benefit of my expertise. I was one of the last to be thoroughly trained and what I don’t know off the top of my head, I know where to look up. Plus, they’re horribly understaffed. Hubby is considering going back to work part time in the new year. He’s had a couple of years off now and is underfoot.
