Still counting

[Hopefloats]

Hello everyone. I am popping in for another update. Things are moving along nicely, although I am a bit tired from packing and planning. I am getting excited about having my daughter's bedroom all set up for her when she gets released in FIFTY NINE days!
The time is flying by, but probably not for her. She asked to go early on the bracelet and the warden denied her because by the time she got the approval, it would be about time to go. TRUE to her personality though, she would want it to get out ONE week early.
She still forgets to do the math, that is the "money math" because the bracelet costs money, and for ME it IS a pain in the butt, seeing it interferes with the phone lines and all. Anyway...we are on track and things seem to be going along nicely.

I have a new bed for her that was given to me so that is a bonus. I have a really pretty bed set in the colors that she likes. I bought it long ago and it was a full size (error) and my bed is a big queen, but for some reason I kept it and I came across it, packing.

I am now getting those thoughts on how it will feel to have her walk out of the gates.
I am sure I will be teary eyed and all, but who cares right?
In the past almost 18 months I have seen drastic changes in her personality although it did take some time for that to happen.

So for today, I am feeling very blessed. My daughter is alive, and clean and sober.
That is my girl, the one that I miss hanging with. My holidays are going to be quite different this year than last. Last year I had just made it through a fire, and I was dealing with my daughter being sent to prison. When I look at all of the good that has come my way I remain grateful, so very grateful.

Some of this may be a repeat to some of you, but it does me good to still talk about those feelings and plans and even the things I cannot plan but have feelings about.

Thanks for listening..
I hope everyone is doing well....
I'd love to hear from you all...
Hope
