(no subject)

I figure I'm about to get drafted for Breakfast/Cleaning duty upstairs. 

The granddaughter who was going in sporadically -- T -- has finally gotten herself on SSI or something of the sort so no longer needs the money my M-I-L  L was paying her. 

(She was looking for a regular job last year, where she could work "when she felt like it" and clear $2000 / month "because that's what she needed to pay her bills.")  Little unrealistic, IMO.

So of course L is doing the total stressout "Whatever will become of us?" thing anytime she has an audience.

Now here's the thing:  I would not mind fixing their breakfast 2 - 3 times per week and running the vacuum, etc once or twice.  (My Gramma was a Scrubby Dutch and the vacuum once a week was enough for her!)  The problem comes in with scheduling.  I leave Aurora by noon most workdays to run a few small errands or just get ready to face the timeclock by 1415 hrs.  They get up around noon.  Then they debate about what to have for breakfast for 30-45 minutes.  THEN it must be fixed a certain way, in certain pans, no microwave allowed, oh we're out of tea, run to the store and get some, oh that's not the right brand (funny, i took the box along and matched it), well we might have some waaaaay in back there behind the good dishes (whaddaya know?  same damn brand i bought) and all this takes another hour or so.  Then have to fix the doggies' breakfast from the humans' plates and serve them before L will eat.  Then shit's cold because the dogs won't eat it yet and she's trying to coax them.  They have sent me to the store for a can of asparagus with count 'em SIX cans still in the cabinet. 

So the point is:   if they'd be willing to get up at a time when I could get stuff done without being late for work, I would "do" for them.

But this ain't gonna happen.

Messages from beyond??????

I'm not really sure what I think about "channeling" messages and angel guides and such.

Before yesterday I'd have said it was good guessing and cold readings and research.

"Dawn" was doing "open channeling sessions" at the Spiritual Evolution Fair I was vending at this weekend.

We met for the first time Saturday, and hadn't had time to talk about anything much--except that she and her husband gave me some shed-fur from their white wolves for a protection amulet I have been wanting to make!--so she had no knowledge of my background.

I went in to watch and listen, no expectations.

One of the messages was from "John"--an older man, feels like someone's father.......I waited until she came back to the name after covering something else [I was  giving everyone else a chance to go "Well, might be my third husband's ex-wife's second cousin once removed......." (which, as you may have noticed, is the sort of thing some people come up with)] before saying "Might be for me, that's my stepfather's name."

D:  Is he gone?

I heard he died a few years ago.

D:  Would he have thought of himself as your father?

Probably, as he adopted me.

D:  He says he is very sorry for what happened, does that make any sense?

(flabbergasted; jaw dropping)

D: He came to me Thursday while I was preparing for this.  He is really...he wants this to get this message to you.  Abuse, physical or emotional, I'm seeing......There is another daughter. 

Yes, his biological daughter.

D:  He wants her, also,  to know he's sorry.  There was a split in the family and he was the cause of it.  A third sibling......

Yes.

D:  A brother.  He (John) askes that you pass the message along to both of them that he is so very sorry.  Will you do this?  I'm feeling that he did something different to the brother, does that make sense?

If I can find them.  (I can't figure what he'd have done to my brother, as he spent most of his life with Aunt B and Uncle A who adopted him when we were taken away from John and Virginia.)  (V. being bio-mother to all 3 of us.)

D:  He is giving me the feeling that he is saying "I was a very bad man."  He says he is sorry, he is watching over you and he is with you.

*************************************

That's where I left the room, 'cause if it WAS John, I don't want him watching me and being with me.  Maybe he has changed, maybe he realizes what he did, but I don't see any sense in taking chances with it.

Actually, that was the last one i expected to hear from. 

If anything, I was figuring Gramma would be reading me the riot act for "Turning your back on Jay-sus after all He did for you!"

I don't have a problem with Jesus, I have a problem with some of His people.
