2026 and 74 and

-











 Well, it is almost a New Year and, in a few days, I'll be 74. That is hard to believe but so it is. I am trying to live by these words LET IT HURT, LET IT BLEED, LET IT HEAL, LET IT GO. 

We haven't spoken to the kids since May, and it seems the whole "family" has eliminated us. I do wonder what horrific thing they have been told. But they don't want to get on Jessica's bad side for sure. Not only is she a narcissist and dictator, but her wealth keeps "family" on the good side. I do believe we are the only ones who have not benefited by Arik's money. 

I sent Christmas cards to the whole "family." I say this in quotes because one night when I couldn't sleep, I went through Karen's Facebook page. I was looking at the pictures. We really were not part of the "family." The same thing with Jessica - NOTHING. Every birthday, etc. it was a big deal. I couldn't even get a card for breast cancer surgery. 

One time Arik asked Elliott why I love the kids so much since we are not blood. Arik is a smart kid - yes a kid - worth over 27 million dollars so he is not stupid. Does he know any child who has been adopted? 

Arik has also made a point to let us know "it's just the family going." Well, aren't we the family. I guess not. I am pissed off that I was used so freely for years. One morning at 5a.m. she had to catch a plane. The dogs could come. I drove to Sacramento with the dogs and slept over. Sometime in the early morning she put Eliana on the bed and said good luck. Granted the nanny was coming but still it was a big ask. And why were her parents not asked to take Dylan for four days because his passport didn't come.  Oh, Karen went with them hmmm or the socialite just was too busy. 

I have vented enough. Thank goodness my scans have been good as have Sheera's. In the world she is the only one that tears at my heart. Good people should not get this diagnosis. Where is G-D??

What to do about your dry eyes

-

Jo has Sjogren's Syndrome . Dry eyes and dry mouth can be caused by a multitude of reasons such as an autoimmune disease such as Sjogren's Syndrome, aging , diabetes , smoking or medications. Biotene has been the hallmark drug for dry mouth but other products, such as Oasis have come on the market. Xerostomia or dry mouth can cause difficulty in speaking and eating. It also leads to bad breath and dental decay. It is crucial that you see your dentist much more regularly than you may have been going if you have dry mouth. In addition, your home care must be superb. It's hard sometimes to get into the rhythm of flossing, brushing, using a rubber tip, and using a Waterpik but in the end your mouth will thank you. Some people find oral sprays as you see in the Biotene Moisturizing Mouth Spray picture and Biotene gel, which you rub on your tongue and gums. A good recipe book is called I-Can't-Chew Cookbook by J. Randy Wilson. Other symptoms you may have is a...

Candy Canes Reindeer

These are so cute and even if you don't celebrate Christmas like we don't, these would be fun to give out to other campers!! Two candy canes back to back tied with yarn or material-covered wire, which I can get at Joanne's or Michael's. I'm taking my glue gun with me and voila - what a nice way to say "Hi, happy holidays. "

10-day Canadian Rockies trip by Car

 We are very settled in Monroe and are considering selling Lincoln and visiting a few times a year. We talk to the little ones almost every Sunday. They are growing up. 2nd grade, 1st grade a nd  preschool.  I'm doing fine on the exemestane.  Scans have  been clear. We have found a few docs but still have a couple more to find. We are heading back to CA in a month for four months.  Our flight to Canada was easy. We are trying to be less judgmental so I won't talk about a couple of annoying things.  I am trying very hard to do this blog in as non-OCD as possible. I wrote for epinions for years and don't want to be detailed like I was. "Just the facts, ma'am." We rented a car so did what we usually do. We borrowed a couple of itineraries from the web and followed those. One thing we would do differently is arrive in Calgary and leave in Edmonton though this is not a direct flight.  We would have toured Calgary for two days instead of leaving it to t...
