We’re feelin pretty good about the morning so far! Woke up feeling well rested with time to be getting here and about. Yesterday did us a whole lotta good.
Things were accomplished and even though bill paying was not, the stage has been set. The table is clear, the bills received from the box, and even envelopes have been opened. Maybe today we can bring home our financial journals. We’ve been hiding them by letting them stay in our office. Hmm, should get stamps too...
We are thinking we’d really like to get something accomplished today. Maybe we’ll even work on that hard file we’ve been avoiding. This morning is an appointment with Dr. M too. Never sure where those are going to lead us. But, in general we look forward to talking to him. It helps us summarize where we’ve been and what we want to do next.
We were really proud of one of our sons over the weekend. He called to talk over an incident that he and his wife were going through. They’d run up against a situation where one of the other tenants in his condo complex had made a sexual pass at Lee. She of course was upset by this as was Macadam. They are both in their early 20's and although they’ve just been married a couple of years ... they are deeply devoted to each other.
Macadam decided that he would face the situation face forward. So while Lee was away at work, he went downstairs to knock on the guys door. From everything he and Lee had known, this guy was most likely abusive toward his wife and an alcoholic. I think Macadam acted courageously ... I don’t think he has hit a soul in his entire life.
The guy's wife answered the door and she was taken back by seeing a strange male. She is rarely seen in public. She quickly called to her husband. Macadam stated that there was something he wanted the other guy to know. The other guy appeared pensive. Macadam ushered them out past hearing range of the door. He told the guy simply that he was aware of the pass and that he and his wife uphold firm boundaries. Later, he backed that commitment to his marriage with a note to building management.
The guy tried to deny it happened, but there was no question that Lee had been the guys victim. I went to bed thinking the household was well protected and that all would sleep soundly. Not so much babies any more, but they continue to grow in my estimation and esteem.

Good for him. I'm glad he stood up to that guy.
Hi Ayn. Your son is an honorable man and a good husband. It's obvious he was raised well. Hey I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one with early Valentine's graphics. Have a good, organized and productive day!
Thanks a lot Irun ... that means a lot comin from you ... we figure you to be a real man's man ... firm and responsive to the harder outside world, but gentle to touch and tickle of the inner world. Least that's the way the boys were raised.
Viv - Couldn't believe how ready to re-decorate the girls were. They are so excited to be "in charge!" Viv - I came to work and was assigned potato scrubbin ... so much for productive??? (Mother Superior from Italy is to be here at noon). *giggle*
I'm glad things worked out for your son and dil. Sounds like he handled it maturely. :-)
GOOD WORK BY MACADAM!!!!!!!!!1
Hi All!
Wow, Macadam certainly seems to have handled the situation very well. We grow up fast don't we? Glad to hear you are doing your part to show up with all that's in front of you. :) Love to you.
What a great guy! Obvious he loves and protects his wife. Glad he wrote a note of complaint to the manager. Let us know how this goes. I'll check in soon! Mia
*Our most beaming smile* Yep, yep! That's our Macadam! Awfully wonderful isn't he?!
