Weekend Plans and the girl

Didn't get to blog yesterday because I was at a friend's yard sale.  My friend, Diane, is clearing lots of goodies from her home and so I went to support the cause and do my best to tell others to follow suit.  After that, I spent time with my dear friends Neil and Jen.  Neil's parents were in town from England so it's always nice to catch up with them.  Today I know I have something to do but I have yet to sync all of my calendars so I'm sure to miss it... oh well,  not going to fret over that.

News on the home front ... Cassie's back and I'm gonna be in trouble.   Quick overview, Cassie got layed off and now can no longer afford rent.  She is in hot pursuit of yet another job and is staying with me for the time being.  To be perfectly  honest, I'm a bit concerned about how this will affect a to z.  It takes a lot of focus to do this project.  For each and every scene, there's sooooooooooo much to be done.  What I've been doing since about July, when she moved out, is my own thing ... my stuff ... my project ... my schedule.  Sound selfish? Well, this is the first time that I've ever lived alone except for other times when she sort of lived elsewhere and let's just say I was living it up or at least putting myself first. It has to remain that way so Cassie or no Cassie, I will stay focused and I will finish A to Z.  You know another person's energy can have such a big effect on your energy so I like to be careful who I consort with but in this case, telling my daughter to find the nearest box on the side of the road just wasn't a comfortable option for me.   Anyone who knows me knows I love her more than anyone in the world but there comes a time when a daughter must do her own thing and not borrow her mother's clothes without asking.  Oops, did that slip out? 

This seems like a rather personal post, doesn't it?  It is truly the biggest thing to happen that could have an affect and effect on me and A to Z so I'm sharing.  Now would be a great time for Meryl Streep to call me and apologize for waiting so long.  She could then offer me a film role in one of her many upcoming films and I'd let bygones be bygones.  Actually, I'm not really mad at Meryl at all but you know how I get when it feels like a lull. 

Wish me luck and please keep the positive vibes coming my way.  I need them now more than ever.
