Saturday..................

WOW! I did the equivalent of 10 loads of laundry at the laundry mat. Jake and Seth were both a big help while Abby was busy back at the Apt. When I got home I made my spaghetti sauce and cleaned house. It was another busy but great day. I had company for dinner. The spaghetti was good as usual with that homemade sauce. I also made Spinach salad, garlic bread and caramel apple crisp! YUMMY stuff. Taste of Home did me good again. I ended my day with 1 final load of laundry and a nice hot shower. I thought maybe I would sleep in yesterday A.M. but I was awake a little after 5 and by the time I am usually getting up I was eating breakfast! I had already fed my sourdough starter as well as the cat and dressed and did my hair. In fact, I got so busy I had to run to the van with my shoes untied so I could take hubbles to work! I have turned over a new leaf...I have remembered to take my vitamin for 5 days now and haven't bit my finger nails for about that long too. I am also trying my best to get my antioxidants in! Between my family and my client I should do well with that. When I was telling her what I was told to do to help my eyes I didn't realize she was paying such close attention and when I got to work today she had sent my coworker to the store and had her get some things for me to have here at work...how sweet is that? I am loved, lucky me!

Awesome Friday!

I had a great day off on Friday. I actually got to go get my own check!!! Went and did some running around with Seth and Abigail. Really just enjoyed my time! I decided to clean the frig, that took a LONG time because I went over it with a fine tooth comb....ok, it was a toothbrush but it still took awhile. I even got the guts to hit my boss up for a raise. I don't know how it is going to go because he was to talk to the other guy but the one I talked to agreed that it was time for 1! I kept having to remind myself that I even had Saturday off!

WOW!

It was wonderful to spend another night in my OWN bed last night. I spent 6 out of 8 in a bed other than my own and 7 out of 8 days away from home. That takes in the quick trip to Tennessee as well as the doubles I have done. I was going pretty strong yesterday and went to Michaels and Hobby Lobby but it hit me like a ton of bricks and I told Seth I had to get out of there while I could still get out on my own power! I am really looking forward to my time off..........now I just have to decide if I am going to do everything that even smacks of work tomorrow and have Saturday just to do whatever or divide up the work. Thinking I will deal with the unpleasantries tomorrow! We might be facing a change soon. I look forward to it but on the other hand I am nervous. Hubbles has submitted an app. and if it is accepted we will be moving. Back to the being on the go, I couldn't believe how everything had bloomed in just the few days I was in hiding! It is beautiful to see the trees in bloom!

Life

It's such a fragile thread~~~this thing we call life. Viewing my uncle for the last time made me realize in ways that I had forgotten just how short life is. I have always tried to live life to it's fullest but in the past year I have allowed the cares of life to rob me of some of the joy of living. When we were traveling the other day some issues came up and Abigail asked if it would really matter in 10 years??? How much of the past couple of years will actually matter in the lives of any of us in 10 years? Not much. There have been high times as well as low times. I have reconnected with friends and that part I wouldn't change for the world. We may not be the close friends we were in the past but there are some things that will never change and that is the joy of knowing people.
As we traveled through the mountains of Tennessee I could see why my uncle never left once he got there! It was a beautiful sight to see..........the trees were in bloom and the mountains never fail to take my breath away. Kentucky was also beautiful, of all the places there are to see I came home begging my hubby to take me to Kentucky to just get away for a few days. I love life and I intend to live each day as if it will be my last because really you just never know! To my friends that take the time to read this...I love you and always will!
