My birthday was yesterday and difficult child texted on Thursday to say she had a job ointerview near us and would come over after to see me. She brought me a lovely card, a relevant very nice birthday card about realizing she didn't make things easy on me growing up and she now realizes I was always there for her, etc, etc. I was really very surprised and told her how much it meant to me. I'm actually amazed that she remembered my birthday and took the trouble to get a card, more than she has done in the past several years.
She brought a load of laundry over to do and while the clothes were drying I took her to the grocery store to get some paper products she needed. She is looking for another job and I gave her an article from our paper about a company who was expanding their work force and was hiring 100 people. She said she will go there next week and I hope she follows through. It would be a factory job but its steady work in a good community and pays well and they make high end mixers so it's soemthing she could handle physically.
She mentioned that she wants to move closer to here (I almost choked) and that her girlfriend was moving back to our city and they may get an apartment together. That would be good, I like her girlfriend and frankly she does not live in a good area now. I didn't ask a lot of questions, I know she is drinking a lot and smoking pot and spends every dime she has on partying but she still looks good and was pleasant to have around.
I'm thankful that she seems to be doing better than we could have hoped.
