OMG OMG OMG I'm gonna be an aunt!!!!!! By my first cousin, but we grew up together, she's kinda like a sister. I am so SHOCKED, as it wasn't in her plans, she's younger than me, and the first in my circle of friends/close family to have a baby... but I am beyond HAPPY! I didn't expect to be so overjoyed, it's crazy! I can't stop smiling and looking up baby clothes!

*stars*woohoo*bounce

Now I'm a tiny bit sad that we live in different countries...
That is wonderful and just imagine in not too many years when the child is mobile and likes noisy toys and what gifts you can give. Cymbals are great and so are drums. :)

Not at all. I appreciate the perspective very much LumberJack.

I'm grateful for your response, as well as other's.

@Angie - yeah, you're quite right about growth changing the dynamics. Up until recently, sometime this year, I hadn't realized that I was changing - for the better I mean. There're still ups and downs, very much so. But I have changed.

Angry with myself for reacting the way i did. I should have been able to go and do a simple task. Deliver some papers and meet with 2 people. But Noooo! i couldn't get myself to do it. Angry with my reactions and behavior during n after.
I so wish I could help you. I think you have mentioned not having anyone like this, but I can't help thinking that if you had someone safe to go with it might be more do-able. It would still take courage and be a hell of a lot of fear/discomfort, but at least it would be possible.

Hahahahaha!!! That's something I threatened my sister with when my nephew was a toddler... Don't piss me off or I am buying (name) one of those big ass fire truck toys that has a realistic siren! Of course, I was kidding but I did enjoy the thought of how "entertaining" that would be. :D

Don't most kids think that anything vaguely cylindrical is a drum? I remember being a kid and finding out that the saucepans were stored in a drawer under the stove. It was a long time ago, but if I recall correctly, Mom was NOT happy I had made that little discovery.

i appreciate the thought. You are very kind! No... i don't have someone to go with. other than those of you here in SF... i am pretty much alone. i am helping a friend through their own tragedy... And the one person who is semi local (a few hours away) and is on my safety plan... just wouldn't be able to take the track up here just for something as simple as that. i wouldn't ask that of them.

my grandbaby is 2 and LOVES making music. He has a small drum set, n piano, n plays my keyboard every time he is here and my keyboard app on my phone when we are not at my house but out together. He asks to play lala. "Lala please Nonna"... He has many Many music making instruments! and i encourage ALL of it. After all... music is life and life IS music.
 
How am i feeling right now!?! i feel pretty damn shitty! Can't sleep, went for an extremely short walk... hell it's nearly 4am n i haven't slept yet! i had 1 thing i needed to do n i couldn't accomplish a simple task of dropping off some papers! So... how am i feeling today... pretty damn shitty! Worthless, useless and selfish right now! Sorry :-(
 
Day 6 of unemployment. I'm going to join the senior center today for socialization. I still can't do tai chi (my former method of socialization) for another month. I have peppered the area with job applications but have to realize that it is going to take time to get a new job. Life goes on.
Thanks to you at SF for keeping me sane during this time! :)
