City:
last few days: flooring purchased, backer board purchased o replace really dreadful panelling in LR, laundry done, dishes washed, long drive back to city from Ontario, long Sunday as we went to pick up the Clay Play trailer and had a flat tire/no spare, in the middle of no where with nothing open, etc! Eventually got sorted and got it to the mill, did a few things and came back to city - plumb wore out and happy to have celery soup in frig!

Almost an hour on phone with once-adopted daughter yesterday during which I told her about her first year; no one ever had. Revelation after revelation. Today I contacted a therapist, with whom I am acquainted, who specializes in RAD; have appointment to phone her tomorrow.

Hour on phone with friend Amy resulted in a list of 3 do-do items for me. Her life is changing and mutual support occurred; I sent her link to a mudcat thread last week - where someone was leaving an abusive relationship. She found it really helpful; did not realize there were so many people in or have been in her boat. She has lived very isolated for most of 25 years.

Waiting for a phone back from Lowes so cannot use the phone for #3 - see if the thrift shop has a bed and can deliver so I can go back to the new house without R who is still too busy. I need to be there of Market on Saturday. Time to call Lowes back; cannot wait.
