3 more things

[susandennis]

Three more things and then I am going to watch Jeopardy. With cake.

1. One of you asked if I would feel guilty if the worst happened and I did not go. And the answer is no. I would not. BUT, I do know that my sister would. She would always regret that she didn't. I'm glad she's going.

2. Thank you. My LJ friends are jewels in my life. One way I think of the value of things is how unhappy or annoying or inconvenient or more difficult or less rich my life would be without the thing in question. There are many many many things in my life at this point that I would give up gladly if it meant I got to keep my LJ friends. Thank you.

3. fuck. I forgot the third thing. sorry. I'm going to get the cake now. Alex is waiting on Tivo and I need a diversion.

'kay. I'm sorry, but all I took away from your post was Jeopardy with cake!!! Woohoo!
What kind of cake?
Can I have some?
Alright, I'm hungry and the cook is driving around somewhere in Michigan.

I just went to get out more cake and remembered I'd forgotten to answer you...

My guilty pleasure is white sheet cake with white icing from the grocery store. I love it shamlessly. I buy it in sheets and cut it up into squares and freeze the squares and pull them out one by one as needed and as cold milk is available.

I may have to have another dose tonight. I have milk.

I checked your webcams earlier and you were scratching your nose and pulling a hell of a face, and it made me happy :D

That's all

(Except to say I hope everything works out the very best way it can for you and your mom and the whole extended fam xox)

It takes a jewel to know a jewel in my opinion.

Many positive vibes being channeled to you and your mom from my corner of Wisconsin my dear.

Cake in your fabo cozy pad sounds wonderful.....wish I lived closer so I could stop by for cake and a chat.

But, sweety this is white cake with white icing - way too almost-not-a-food-group for you but if you were close, I'd get something healthier for your plate!

Sorry to hear about your mom, I can only imagine what that feels like but I envy you your distance. When things go wrong with my mom I am the only one here and it all falls on me. I do know if things get too bad that my sister will be here too but things would have to be pretty bad for that. I don't look forward to any of this... but then who does, right?

I haven't said anything about this whole thing yet, because I haven't been sure what to say, but know that even those of us who lurk are thinking about you and yours, okay?

I am thinking of you.

Ever since I came on LJ, which has been several years, you have known that your mom is in frail health, but she has had a great life and is well cared for. That is the best you can hope for. Whenever it is time for her to go, it will be a good time. We can only hope that she is as comfortable as possible. Take joy in that. My mom is 20 years younger and I feel we are in a nightmare as to how low her quality of life will go. And for whatever reason your sister is acting suddenly sane, take it as grace. And that 3/3000 is always a good thing too. Hang in there Susan. The life you live and your mom has lived is inspiring to me. Work hard, play hard, prepare and had, and just enjoy each day as best you can.

I read about your Mom and I'm so sorry. You take away the right moral of my story - live the best life you know how and enjoy every minute of it as best you can. Anything else is just so hard. I do hope the situation with your folks somehow gets not as difficult.
