"Second Marriage" Anniversary Should be celebrated
Some musings on wedding anniversaries. Because we just had our second.
Some things that have been going through my mind lately during this COVID-19 lockdown are that with all the statistics out there, why arent second marriages celebrated, even MORE SO than the first. Second marriages are almost twice as likely to fail, mostly when there are children from the first marriage involved. Second marriages are HARDER, so every year you make it together is a BIGGER success.

Withdrawing from Munchkin SD14
Its been a while since I gave any updates but I have been here in the background, sort of chewing on things and reading posts.
Summer has been difficult. and when Munchkin has been with us, its been MORE difficult for different reasons.

I said that THING THAT CANNOT BE SAID
And I liked it.
Last night was munchkin SD14's day 1 of her week with us. Shes happy and skipping around. This is her typical "transition" activity where she asks a bunch of questions and queries us on our day and our week. Nohting much, we were tired.

OT - we bought a boat!
A very inexpensive boat. For ocean fishing (or cruising!)
And nothing can suck the joy from this, not even Toxic Troll going on a drinking binge Sunday through Monday, not even munchkin freaking out over her mother's drinking.
And to make it so that Toxic Troll wont think that DH has extra money for increased child support we are telling the world its mine. LOL. So yes, Im pretty excited to drive our/my new ocean vessel, wind blowing in my hair, smelling salty ocean water and bbqing my fresh catch of the day.

Toxic Troll called Munchkin SD13 the B-word
Munchkin, as she has grown older and has seen her mother in her rages, and seen her mother act like a child, has actually been the mature one.
And I was told this weekend that she has been called the b-word by her own mother. I have no idea what caused this, other than Munchkin has taken the role of parent when with her mother, and probably was lecturing her because she wants to go travel south to meet up with a dude.

Back-to-school Blues
Well, thanks all for the "pep-talks"
Updates to information - Toxic Troll is baaaaack at her apartment, so now we know that all is well in Toll-Land.
Dh dropped by to drop some b-day money off for Feral Forger so she cant accuse him of being a horrible father who doesnt love her. Not a big deal.
But in texting with Munchkin SDalmost 14 now, she is back to school distance learning April 6, and there is no wifi at the Toll Bridge apartment.
Not because of ability to pay, but because Troll lacks the brain cells to set up wifi at her apartment.

BMW Blues
Welll, a little bit o'sad, a little bit o'mad and a little bit lol's.
So heres the story I got this morning:
Toxic Troll Bm went several miles south to either be with or meet up with one of her "dudes". During a strict shelter-in-place lockdoen order. Shes not working so not at all considered "essential". To a little resort town.
She left Munchkin SD13, pupster and Feral Forger SD21 there alone in the crappy little apartment.
AND, she broke down.
Of course who does she call, yup, my husband the mechanic. "what do I do?"

COVID-19 results negative, twisted ankle
To re-cap:
Feral Forger SD21(emotionally 12), had to spend her 21st bday quarantined after being tested for the COVID-19 virus. Boo hoo, call the whaaaaaaambulance. She wanted to go out, even after having the flu, but I guess her friends are no where to be found and she still has no driver's license.
Sd13 has continued to go Gray Rock. Because "Kitten-Gate". I sent her some nice photos of the hugely happy kitten with her new person. No response. Told her I heard the news about her sister possibly being COVID-19 positive, no response.

Update in Clove-Land
Hello all on this first day of Spring. A day that will go down in history due to this COVID-19 Pandemic.
Firstly - to all you Steptalkers that are suffering at home with their demon-spawn stepkids, I am SOSOSO sorry for this pain that you must endure. I will NOT spout that credo we have "you must realize that BM might kickoff at any time and you will be stuck with full-time demon-spawn". This is a dress-rehersal for that.

OT: Update - Clove and the "essentials" - now on lockdown
Upate: 3/17/2020 4:06 Tuesday
Monterey County is now on "shelter in place orders"
The good and the bad:
1. In my job, with my organization, we are in the food provider industry, in a round about way. This is good news...read on to find out why...
2. In my area, in Santa Cruz County, they have instituted a "shelter in place" SIP, aka lockdown with fines and possible jail time, as of yesterday. The day before was San Francisco, about 80 or miles north of me. I think my hometown, Monterey County (moco), is next.
