Bandit is back!

And she's not happy about it.

Yes, my younger son is back home again. He arrived last night after I was asleep. He is the private one so I did not know there were problems. Turns out, his love was bipolar and I'm assuming, not on meds. So there were times she was wonderful, and times when she was not easy to deal with. I suppose it was just too much for him. Maybe I can get him to talk about it one day. But it's more likely he will not. His twin sister may get a little more out of him but even she is left clueless most of the time. He is working nights now so I only chatted a few minutes and that was more about getting his room dark so he could sleep.

I guess it's just as well he was pokey about getting his stuff out - saves moving it all back home. As it is, there will have to be some reorganizing as I had begun putting things in his room in anticipation of taking it over again.

However, it will only be a temporary delay. He has saved enough for a down payment on a house and so he can begin work on getting approved for a mortgage then looking for a place of his own.

And while the people pretend all is well, Bandit is very angry. She has decided that she does not care that she may have loved me at one time. And that she had become ok with Dexter. She hisses and swats at everyone. Little Macy would like to be friends but Bandit wants to be left alone. Period.

I took Dex to the flats. It must be a very special day in Dogdom because he was super excited as were all the dogs out there today - and there were lots! And all were happy and playful - moreso than usual. And in spite of the excitement, none got carried away to turn a good thing bad. I took my camera but, of course, the battery was dead.

I spent a good part of yesterday with some friends- something we haven't done for ages. We'd got together for breakfast - one has been off work with a shoulder injury/surgery so we each took a part of the meal over - and before we realized it, it was 2:00 and we had to clean things up again. It made me realize how reclusive I have become over the last couple of years. It was so good to enjoy being with people again.

Unfortunately, I did not win the lottery.

Its not till you go out with friends that you realise how good it is to be in the company of other people again. I'm reclusive too.

I hope things work out for both your son, and you having him in the house again.

It does feel good to be out with other people sometimes.. I havent had a girls day out in a long time.

Happy to hear that you got out with friends again. It's therapy for the soul. I couldn't live without friends and meeting new people. Now if you can get Bandit to be more social... :)

It would help if you bought a lottery ticket. Makes the odds of winning increase considerably.
My middle daughter was out onnher own when she turned 18 and a few seconds old. Right at midnight, she left.
The first time she came home, I picked her up in Oceanside, CA, about 1300 miles away from where we live. She was broke, dirty and hungry. I gave her a ride to my house, bought her some clothes and toiletries at Walmart, got a motel room so she could shower and fed her. She left again after a couple of weeks.
She returned about 2 years ago, got divorced, with her 4 kids, my Grandkids, and hasn't left yet.
I didn't have any pets. She brought a dog and a cat with her besides a couple of lizards in aquariums.
Lucky you have some things of yours in the old room. I don't have any room for my things.
Sorry I had to whine about it.
Hope the situation is easy to deal with for everyone concerned. Now buy that ticket and if you win the lotto, send me a few loonies.


Peace
