Catching up

I haven't posted in a while.  Tried to do that 10 Day challenge, but only made it for one day.  <sigh>  But have caught up with that this morning.  May be even a day ahead.

So what is new at the Honey house?  Queen2b has been attending her outpatient rehab meetings.  She comes home renewed and seems to be really enjoying them.  So far she has not done any Opioids and it has been about 3 weeks since she last used.  I am proud of her.  Her temperment, however, is still less than desired.  We did talk her into quitting her job as a waitress in a restaurant that serves liquor.  Nobody thought at this point it was a good environment for  her.  So she quit that, but has yet to find another job.  What does that mean?  That means she is always bumming money from me or Mr. Honey.  We refuse to give her cash, but have filled up her gas tank a few times.

Q2b and I have a real butting of the heads sometimes.  She calls me a "trigger" for wanting to use.  She comes to me and asks me things and I am brutally honest.  That is something she doesn't want to hear right now, is hard core, blunt honesty.  

The Boy is having a rough time, too.  He seems to hate Q2B.  Disgusted with her, and is at an age, 15, that he is embarrassed and does not want to have to deal with it.  He refuses to let her take him anywhere or pick him up, won't talk to her, ignores her when they are both in the house.  I'm setting both of them up with a psychologist on Monday.  Momma Honey cannot fix everything and their emotions are out of my control.

My plate is pretty full because it seems everybody wants to dump their leftovers onto my plate.  I clean the plate off and turn around and it's full again.  This is not how I expected my life to be at this point in my life.

So, on February 7th, I had a birthday.  Woot Woot.  I turned 56 years old.  Yes, I know, to some of you that sounds SOOOOOOOO old.  It is old.  When I was in my 20s and 30s, I couldn't even imagine being this old.  I'm young in mind and spirit but not in numbers.  And my body is also starting to feel the age too.  Poor me.  Youngsters, hear me out:  Exercise and keep your body toned.  You'll be glad you did when you get as old as me.
