    You're certainly not, your body is telling you to rest up
    77 and counting, less of the "Old" call me "Mike"

    An idiot? You? I think not! Sweetheart you have so much invested in the whole thing with Bath as well as everything else you have going on.... Be kind to you. I'm glad Si's going to be at home with you. I think right now you could do with the support...

    Tomorrow I’m being taken out for posh afternoon tea by my ex MIL I know it’s not resting but I think it qualifies as self care ...
    The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.

    We do, she’s a lovely woman. When Jon and I broke up, she told me that they will always consider me their daughter in law

    I’m blessed with my ex in laws, and I’m blessed with my parents. This from my dad, in Mallorca, today

    ‘Having scrambled up a volcanic lump I couldn’t resist being artistic and creating a small rock pile for my beautiful daughter Paula. As she has some mobility problems, I take it on myself to build rock piles here and there as a marker from her on the world.
    It is Mount Teide in the distance, an active volcano on Tenerife in the Canary Islands. The summit is 12198 ft. above sea level and 24600 above ocean floor level. Highest point in Spain and highest point above sea level in the islands of the Atlantic.
    I think my rock pile just beats it.

    Oh Paula, that's a lovely thing to do! And yes, your rock pile is definitely higher.
