I thought I'd do a narrative on cleaning up the house this afternoon:
- Clean litter box, toss.
- Collect trash and dispose.
- Don't forget the bathroom garbage, and a replacement bag.
- Welp, forgot the bedroom trash can. Get that.
- Collect recycle (all rooms) and dispose
- Decide not to move Biscuit to wash bedding.
- Check weather as it looks like rain tomorrow.
- Open up phone and read message, put away without checking the weather.
- Open it up again and check the weather, put phone in pocket.
- Get that soda I had been thinking about for a while (diet).
- Get on Facebook for a minute.
- Think "Oh Crap could I have ADD?"
- Clean out fridge - not too bad.
- Look around kitchen in despair.
- Spotty!
- Soak cycle done on washer, start wash cycle.
- Move candy to Bible room and organize Handout stuff.
- Make mental inventory of Bible room supplies and organize.
- Find tracts online for sponsor and send her a link.
- Fall down a rabbit hole of tracts and find 3 contenders.
- Go back to kitchen, sigh.
- Oh maybe the mail came.
- Check the mail.
- Oh I need to weed the garden bed...
- Start at one end of the kitchen (it's a u shape not very big with the sink in the middle)
- Clean it off, toss a few things, put other things on stove.
- Clean surface (takes a couple of tries)
- Put desired items back.
- Move to the other side of stove, clear a space, clean, put desired items back.
- Encounter canned food on counter and realize I have to clean out the cabinet under the counter to make space for canned food.
- Start on that.
- 6 PM, time to call Mom and Dad.
More later...

Why did you delete the blog titled Agh?
Here was my reply to that Agh blog post :
Your dad is a real piece of work. It makes me sad for you Heather. Really, truly sad that this supposed christian can't treat you with the love and respect you deserve.
I didn't think it glorified God; airing old dirty linen because I was angry I got cut out of the loop AGAIN.
When something happens to Dad they want to circle the wagons. That's good. But I am often on the outside of the circle. I could see protecting me when I had Ron on my hands. But he's been dead going on 3 years now.
Let's take a moment to praise God the IN LAWS are not in my life!
I can only imagine when your dad dies how screwed you will be in the will. I doubt your father even bothered to include you and if he did your step mother will take care of that if he dies first. Sorry you are always on the outside looking in. It's a tough place to be especially with your own family.
Christians aren't perfect, they are sinners saved from hell. We sin daily but strive not to. The sin nature doesn't go away but the eternal penalty has been paid by Jesus.
Well I was actually screwed over on my birth mother's will. My sister had sent me a copy back in 2004 which I stupidly got rid of. The will left one thousand each to me and my brother and my sister got the rest. An investigator, years later, found an account with a couple thousand. He said if there's no will it goes 3 ways otherwise they abide by the will. My sister conveniently "lost" the will so she got a $900 payout, half of which should have been mine, when she wasn't entitled to anything. She made a big production out of telling me she used the money to buy her daughter's wedding dress.
So I am basically EXPECTING to be screwed. Assume Dad doesn't make it, the money goes to her. They have been pretty cheap. I don't expect that to change. She also said watching me manage my illness made her think her youngest, who also had it, could do more and she was going to stop bailing him out. That was a few years ago.
So maybe there will be something. I'm not expecting it though. Her two oldest kids could buy and sell me before lunch, and all the adult grandkids as well. If I am not the poorest family member I am on the list.
I am just happy I have gotten anything. Dad has a class ring from college he wears daily ideally I would like that but we'll see.
My stepmother has also made a point of telling me she will consult me on big medical decisions for Dad she feels very strongly on it. That would be good if there was no hope and Dad was on machines - I'd want to let him go and hopefully they would respect that.
"My stepmother has also made a point of telling me she will consult me on big medical decisions for Dad she feels very strongly on it." What she says and what she does if that happens are going to be two different things. I wouldn't expect her to do it when they couldn't even tell you personally your dad has pneumonia.
What is going on with your dad? More than just a cold?
Dad was feeling run down, went to the doc. Was evasive when I asked him how he was doing then sent out a group text to "us kids' saying he had pneumonia.
He is 82, congestive heart failure, a-fib, type 2 diabetic. prostate cancer survivor, etc. so I am naturally worried. But they sent him home from urgent care, no oxygen or hospital, so he can't be too bad. He is beyond evasive on this.
Interestingly enough he was very open about the cancer.
Yesterday I did a very nasty post about being cut out of the loop (nasty, for me) regretted it, and deleted it.
They sent him home so he should be OK. Boy do I get family dysfunction. My dad did a number on me.
When my dad died, I got 6K which wasn't much but it was his money and I wish he would've spent it all on himself. I was buying a couch last week and the salesman said you never see a Brinks truck following a hearse in other words you can't take it with you.
I guess it's better to think that God provides for us in his own way. Look at your blessings, you do have a paid off house and all your "needs" appear to be met. He is preparing a MUCH better place for us and you, Heather will probably have the biggest mansion because of what you do for God in this fallen world. Look up.
Also I really believe the Rapture is imminent.
Dad is doing much better, the medication is helping tremendously. He was looking forward to using his "inhaler" (Nebulizer?) after he hung up with me.
I think so, too. I love watching J.D. Farags prophecy updates. I don't know if you've ever watched him, but you would be blessed.
"the Rapture is imminent." NOT even close. At all. People have been thinking that for decade upon decade. They have all been wrong, just like you are wrong.
We are wrong, until we're right. Have you picked up a cheap Bible to read, after? Dollar tree used to have a King James ..
Said all the people that scoffed at Noah until the flood came.
Reminds me of the frog in the pot of water who didn't notice it kept getting hotter until it was too late and he was dinner.
How much worse does it have to get before people can see the signs? It can be scary to face reality that we are in the last days but when you give things to God, it's comforting to know he will keep you. To have Jesus say, "depart from me, I never knew you" is terrifying.
I'm not posting the comment I deleted.
You are welcome to your opinion though, and I will ask God to show Himself to you in a real way.
