Spring projects - Opaque wood sealer information wanted
sKePTiKal:
Having some trouble with the board, using Chrome. Might have to go back to IE.
I got two solid 1/2 days of work done; we're expecting 3 days of rain starting monday... so I might go out and do a little shopping (need a printer, misc) today. Seems right now, I have found my "groove" which is 3- 5 hours of work at a time. I can do that, be a little stiff or sore, but I'm not incapacitated for days... so, I'll take it, for now! Wish while I was doing those projects, I didn't think of 15 other things I "should" or might "want" to do... too.
Sat down and traded "war stories" with a friend last night - re: families and abuse, lawlessness, ne'er-do-wells... and went through beginning to end, my months' worth of "unexpected journeys". Friends' situation isn't that far different - but he's not directly in the middle of it, either. He's a younger guy, late 30s. And just as nice as can be...
But you know what? I really didn't like doing that - going through it all again. H and I had followed up on it last week, ourselves... given some time/distance... just sort of a where are we now? Now, I just want it to all be over -- however it turns out.
Might put out 5 bags of river stones today -- a trough for rain to splash down off the roof w/o washing away the mulch and sand. (Houses here don't have gutters! I guess they blow off in high winds...)

Does it ever feel to you like the system is dysfunctional, lighter?
That things are just so top-heavy, overly complex, that they just don't WORK anymore?
I've had that feeling more than once, lately.

It certainly is dysfunctionl, sKep, but IME it does work.
Eventually.
It's almost impossible to dispel the lies PD's tell. It seems like we have to go through courtroom after courtroom until the PD's finally out themselves.
I don't understand it yet, but I think it has to do with our feeling hesitant about telling the terrible truths about the pd's, when the Pd's tell logical untruth after untruth about us... chaos and confusion is truly the pd's hallmark. It's hard to believe even toned down versions of reality.... it just doesn't make sense, kwim?
I keep thinking there's some sort of logical formula to getting to that last courtroom more quickly.
::shaking head::
I think I've figured some of it out. It's not easy, but the system does eventually work, IME.
IF you can get to that final courtroom.

Well, I sure hope there's an express lane Lighter. This week, I've been conquered by a drain that decided to stop working w/o warning and hubs & my own DIY'er ego... when I should've just called a plumber on Monday and gotten the disruption over with. And of course, that pipe is buried in behind nice cabinets and tiled floors... and not being able to have running water in the kitchen has well: stopped me dead in my tracks and I feel like a completely helpless loser...
my routine is disrupted
my OCD- need to "clean up" is stymied
and lo... the problem has it's teeth in me and I am mysteriously unable to go "do" anything else... and I've made myself totally miserable as a result...
including send that letter to H and her fiance; who are also very busy with spring projects and have not yet talked and made an absolute decision about how far they're willing to go when the court date comes up.
And it's probably due to the fact that whatever that date is, it is fast approaching. I did hear that the counselor decided the older boy needed a complete psych eval... so that may factor into it. Dunno. But it's weighing on me, even when I'm not actively "thinking" about it. SIGH.
Good luck with yours - may it be your last court date! ;)

I think I might have found the key to the express lane.....
now I just have to fabricate the door, find the magic portal, and create the world from materials I have no idea how to use.
I know that sounds rather complicated, but that's pretty much where I'm at this month with regard to finding short cuts out of this legal morass.
Also, I'm stepping out of my comfort zone with regard to plans for the summer, and how the children are schooled......
buckle your seatbelts.....
here we go!
