E - Enjoyed a great vacation to Orlando, Florida with my brother, Andy. He's got Down Syndrome. He goes through a company called Search Beyond Adventures, a company that does trips around the world for adults with disabilities. This one was 5 days around Orlando and to the Magic Kingdom. Sunday we went to New Smyrna Beach and walked in the ocean, and Monday we went to the Magic Kingdom. That was the worst day.
Andy and I did too much walking, and he can't walk much. So we got to a point where he refused to walk anymore, throwing his bottle of water, sitting down and crying, screaming, and even refusing to talk to our mother. I finally put her on speaker phone so he HAD to talk to her, and she got him calmed down a little, and it really calmed him down when I talked to some of the Disney workers and we got him a wheel chair. That really helped!
F - Found some cute things at Disney Springs on Tuesday for our dogs. Two new collars. One that says 'Can't Catch Me!' and is 100 Dalmations-themed for our Chance, and for my BIL's dog, a camo-themed one. I also got a Florida shirt, and a 100 years Disney shirt for myself.
G - Greatest thing was being with my brother, and getting a pair of Delta wings from the flight attendant on the flight to MInneapolis from Orlando. I told him about the first time I got a pair of Junior Wings from a stewardess when I was five on a Northwest Airlines flight to Oregon, so our flight attendant found some for me, and for my brother. I was tickled pink!
All-in-all we had a great time, great fun, but were really pooped by the time we got home. Now it's unpacking, laundry, and getting back into the normal routines.

U = Universal rule that invisibly states, clouds and storms will roll in just so some of the people will be unable to view the amazing celestial events. Some of my coworkers & I were watching what we could of the sliver of an eclipse that came across our way, until the clouds got thicker and covered the whole sun and moon just prior to the last few minutes before partial totality reached its maximum peak. Our area got darker, but stayed that way due to the storm clouds moving in.
V - Very numb and angry/hurt/sad/betrayed by my husband and his family (mostly his mom and dad). For the last 4-5 years now, they have been emotionally and verbally abusing me horribly, and it's been getting worse. It's finally gotten so bad that even my husband has joined in.
W - Wherein now I've moved in with my mom temporarily and am filing for divorce.
XYZ says that even tonight they made demands that I come get the last of my stuff at their house. I told them I couldn't, but they said if I didn't come get it, it was going to the curb. I just can't believe there are people in the world that are that cruel...
