[Magdalen] Dilemma

[Clarissa Canning]

      It is alright to not take my advise , good you got some opinions and
options.  I ‘d like to share my delimma , living with a big baby who does
not consult me about buying things.   I am having a hell of a time, but got
some people to talk to and my anxiety is high .I went totally silent live
upstairs most of the time. I not so cruel that I stoped helping cook and
changing ostomy in home er.  why do some guy know how to pick an item that
really stabs one in the heart ❤️. Clueless . I will never get an apology as
I have a big mouth too many times. I like to say No too many times .  Thank
God I found an old friend    an am taking a break for a week .  Almost 45
years and my choices are not great . Please duck tape me to he wall and put
tape on the my mouth .  Send $$$ so i can go see my granddaughter in Japan
. ( just kidding ) It’s true will never go there .   Pray if you wish . it
will be a long winter.
