MERRY CHRISTMAS

Hi everyone who still wanders by here.
I hope you all have a wonderful christmas and I have been thinking about you all with your snow (I wish we had it here)
Life has been so busy I have completed my funeral celebrants course and as well as weddings I am now doing funerals.
So my weekdays are busy as well as my weekends. My Celebrant mentor Tony tells me it is going to get busier as all the proposals over Christmas and New year then Valentines day will start coming in and sadly all the deaths from suicide caused by depression.
I have been very lucky with the funerals I have been asked to do. I refuse to do childrens funerals as I couldnt handle my own childrens I cant imagine watching a parent go through that and not show emotion, I have only had elderly people who have been expected to pass on so far.
Several wiccan funerals as well which has been wonderful.

Anyway enough of me Escher is growing like a weed and is off to big school in January, she has also taken a liking for RockNRoll Dancing so she is having dancing classes twice a week and Violin lessons on 2 other nights. She asked me for a new Piano on the weekend as some of the keys on mine don't work anymore, so I guess in a few months or so Grandma will be up for a new Piano. She is showing great potential with dance and music but sadly none in singing as yet. Di I mention the sound of a cat screaching??? LOL Cassie has found a boyfriend, quite a nice young man with a decent job in accounting LOL (She said she didnt want anyone at all like her parents) He is great with Escher and is tryingto talk me in to letting him move in here however I have kept a steady no on it as they have only been together 3 or 4 months and I think that they need a little dating time before they settle down to living together as a family, plus not much room I was thinking if they stay together we may have to buy bigger (I just went smaller) oh well it happens I guess.
They have discussed moving into their own place however Escher gets very hysterical at the idea of not living with Grandma and the Dr has suggested that Cassie consider leaving moving out for a year or so. I forgot to mention that Escher started to display signs of severe behaviour problems a few months ago and we have had her to several specialists to find out what the cause could be. She will be sitting quite happily watching TV or playing and the next thing we know she is kicking and screaming and throwing things around the place. My concern was some form of mental disorder or tumor however she has been tested and neither are present. In fact the opposite her IQ is extremely high and the Dr's feel boredom has a lot to do with it, sudden changes tend to upset her so when plans are made now they are made with great care not to let her know until everything is definate and there is no chance of cancelations. Cassie is coping reasonably well with it all but struggles with patience at times.
They feel the important thing is to keep Esch busy as possible with things she likes doing which is why she has 2 nights a week dance and 2 music.

AK if your reading this I hope your sitting down because I have GAINED WEIGHT lol yep I sure have the middle age spread is catching up to me. Holy cow I have hips LOL I have actually gone up 2 dress sizes from a size 8 to a size 12 (not sure what that is over there). My Dr is quite pleased and I am feeling much much better however I dont want to gain anymore.
Still single so the weight gain hasnt helped in the gaining a man department, nor has the heavy workload.

Iggy, AK, Punkn and everyone else Have a great holiday seasonand I hope to catch up with you all soon.

You all are always in my thoughts and love sent your way daily.
