Life goes on... and so do my ramblings...
Interesting how funny things have triggered tears or random funny thoughts of my dad since he died. I think all of us are doing this. So odd.
Great things have come of this...
Adult relationships with my siblings has been the most obvious one.
My sister, Michelle, and I have had lunch every Tuesday since his death.
New connections, and I love it.
My mom's birthday was Monday--
and I wondered what it was like for her...
her first birthday without her sweetheart in over 41 years.
Of course, she sounded upbeat and pretty positive...
I'm sure she has her down days, but for the most part... she's doing pretty ok.
What an example to me.
I've been perpetually exhausted... I can't seem to catch up.
Course it doesn't help that I'm booked solid with stuff to do after work.
Canning season is here finally-- a tad late...but here at last.
I went to see the "SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE" tour last night with a gal from work. Her husband bought tickets for them, but then had to go out of town at the last minute. It was pretty fun, but again... exhausted.
Mandie has a paper due today that she put off, even after I warned warned and warned her. Man, it's hard to sit back and let her fail. I hate it. But... How will she learn?
My Cousin, Mike, from Houston and his wife, Laynie, came to visit last weekend. They're still without power, which suprised me.... I hadn't heard much about that anymore. Anyway-I just love that family.
They are so awesome to play with and have fun with.
Month-end approaches... and I don't dread it as badly as I have over the past few months...
guess I am getting the hang of it.
Our team will be travelling to our respective sites in the next 2 months... which means I'll be going to Wyoming. I've only passed through there... so that will be interesting. I actually get to see a blast in real life and I'm excited about that.
Well, I'm hanging in there... and have a lot of thoughts milling around my head that I'll be sharing soon.
Thanks for your sweet wishes.
