Iām here, Iām alive and Iām sober.
Day 158
Tweenie stays here, the authorities hasnāt got the doctors note,and tweenies motherās husband refused to let her move back to them.
New meeting with the social service tomorrow, and hopefully some kind of help from them.
Just baked healthy oatmeal cookies to cheer us all up. Unfortunately I might have bought a pair of Lilly Pulitzer shorts thatās a size to small, but Iām determined to have them to fit before summer. ( To my defense I bought them really really cheap from the Swedish version of eBay, couldnāt resist, I meant itās Lilly)
Hope yāall are having a great day.

Weāre having a lont of snow, and cold weather here to. I follow an account of NOLA pictures on Instagram, hoping to go there next time weāre in US. And every time I log on and see Palm trees and sun, I regret that I looked. Iām so tired of this weather and snow now, and itās probably years before we can travel like normal again. But if it works for you to look at pictures from warm places. Go for it, we can always dream away.

I love this picture, Iāve seen Ice skating pictures like this on Instagram but I thought they where fake. It looks so amazing to go Ice skating in the mid of the city like that. Iām putting that on my travel bucket list. I canāt Ice skate though but thereās time to learn 
Wishing you a lovely day.

Welcome! Happy and clear headed in sunny, but cold South Carolina.
Cheese is the main reason I havenāt gone vegan. I just 
cheese too much! I tend to be squeamish about certain things, so maybe seeing it processed would end my love affair.

Sheās been choosing her way all along for what I know, she didnāt want to stay at her Maās house years ago, her Ma couldnāt handle her. We took her in, she didnāt want to stay here, because unfortunately weāve got some house rules. So she moved back to her Ma. After that she was in two different foster care homes, she didnāt want to stay in the first one so they got her another, they didnāt want to keep her. And she didnāt want to go back to her Ma. So here she is. This time however sheās not going to get the choice of moving because the rules doesnāt fit her,and her Ma doesnāt get the choice of taking her back again because she could make money doing so. She needs some stability. But again in terms of the law weāve got nothing until we get the custody. Her ma can legally take her home in the day if she wish. And itās been like that all along. Unfortunately her Ma have like two moods, cooperative/manipulative or quick fuse to total fury.
Iām not a psychologist but in my opinion tweenie wants to be at a place where she can do whatever she wants, and where everyone rolls out the red carpet for her, like most teens I guess. She clearly needs help with a lot of stuff weāre not capable of helping her with. But she aināt willing to even try getting that help and the authorities doesnāt really seems willing to offer any help to her because she doesnāt want to.
So itās like a dead end. However when she moved in here I promised her that weāre going to make all we can so she doesnāt have to move again. Thereās a risk I canāt keep that promise, and the custody issue is still a huge one. But hopefully weāll get some help tomorrow.
Somedays it feels like I donāt have the energy to care, but I canāt just not care either. I still think thereās a chance that sheāll feel better if she has a family and a ārealā home. But I can be wrong to, no matter the day she still hates me though

Day 150: Got my mile hike in with Lupe in time before the weather hits, and we only got a little damp. Because of this icy/snow storm, my doctorās appointment had to be rescheduled to next Thursday. I can wait another week, no problem. Feeling pretty darn good at 5 months! Still blows me away that Iām doing this sober thang. Gonna deep dive into some home organizing today and stay off the screens for a bit. I ended the day with a headache and and bit of heartache, too, so a quick break is in order.
Sending my loving vibes out to the TS-sphere today

True, I do love Cheese. I will be back to working weekends and Holidays, for the same amount of money, probably a little less. Grass isnt always greener. However, I wouldnt be a managerā¦so that is a plus.
