Daily prompt: Others

As previously mentioned I was looking for a writing prompt site and I found a couple I like.  So in my efforts to continue writing / journaling here we go...

Todays prompt:  Others

What a weird word to start with!  lol  The very first thought that came to mind was the movie "The Others" with Nicole Kidman.  I actually really enjoyed that movie, it was a nice twist to the other ghost haunting movies.  Horror movies in general are my favorite.  It crosses over into the Thriller genre as well.  One of my personal favorites, that now with thought I will need to watch again, is "Death of a ghost hunter"  Great story!

Bored...

I miss writing, or just rambling for the what not.  I think I am going to look for something like I was part of before, where once a day there was a new "topic", could be one word, could be a phrase but it made you think.  I enjoyed the memories that would flood back, or where the imagination can take me.   If so, this will be where I post.  Hmmm what can I find...

Update and Christmas wish list...

So I realize that it has been ages since I have written anything, and for that I apologize    Much has happened since July.

Quick update:  Dana has lost custody of Collin (surprise) but his foster / soon to be adoptive parents, and family are amazing, wonderful, caring people who still allow the rest of the family to be in his life.  I get a playdate with him tomorrow actually.  I am always so happy to see him!  Unfortunately Dana has dropped out of pic completely.  No one has heard from her in weeks, and then she sends a text to Collins foster mom asking for money, claiming to be stuck in Portland   I never heard anything from her and S. was smart enough not to send her money or anything.

Lenee and Sean were married in August at my fathers back yard.  It was beautiful and I am so happy for her.  The Grady's have even graciously accepted me into their loving, normal family.  Liam is so smart and handsome.  I get to spend a lot more time with him so he knows who Nana is and loves me back!

I am still working with my Dr in trying to keep my CVS under control.  As it has almost been 3 months since my last serious episode.  I am ecstatic about that.  I am worried about the fact I dont know how I am going to afford the meds that are working so well.  I have until the 18th of Dec to figure it out.

As you know, I have been unemployed for over a year.  With my illness it is hard to find a job when the last 4 I was let go bc of attendance   My unemployment has just recently ran out giving me an income of $0.  I had my panic attack a few weeks ago, and now just scrambling to survive.

On that note, for friends and family who have inquired about my Christmas list, its fairly simple.  This year, monetary gifts are most appreciated to try to keep my head above water.  If you feel the need to buy something, what I need (and appreciate) is the basic things that cost money.  Shampoo, Conditioner, Body wash, toothpaste,lotion, deodorant, Laundry detergent, fabric softener, cat food, girly stuff etc...   I know it sounds random, and fairly sad that this is my wish list.   I have been self sufficient for so long, it scares me that I cant "fix this".
