This and That

 Today is Friday, my favorite day.  My sister and I went to a couple thrift stores, and now I'm home.  I had quite a few things I could have done this morning, but glad I waited for her. 

And...now it's Tuesday.  

I got my paycheck, still messed up a little bit but balancing out.  Another mystery cat litter showed up.  I had a Walmart delivery, the eyes for my alien baby doll showed up yesterday, along with a few other little things I needed...some more little things on their way.  

I have been feeling very good.  Still a little scattered with some of my possessions being held, but in the great scheme of life, they are just things.  Otherwise, I feel I have become quite content with the way my life is going right now.

Honestly, I'm grappling between my heart and mind regarding if I will ever be in a relationship again.  Even will I ever have a "best" friend again?  

For so long, every 11:11 I saw, my wish was "I wish I was alone."  I wonder now if I should have been a little more specific, like, "I wish I wasn't in this relationship anymore."  

Ah well.  Like I said, I am pretty happy with how life is flowing right now.  I feel like I have somewhat of a handle on maybe a little bit of it.  

It would be so nice if someone out of the blue just poofed a few thousand dollars into my checking account, no questions asked.  

I moved some wall art around, so I could display what I call my "Skedaddles." 



That big one was my first "big" one.  Welcome to a glimpse of my homey home.  That's a pretty old secretary desk.  I know the arrangement is wonky, decorating is not my best talent, 

I've gotten a new piece of equipment for burning the big ones.  I found that a lighted magnifying glass helps me so much, but the one I had clamped onto the table, and the gooseneck was limiting, so I got a free standing one.

There is a craft event here in town on May 7th, I might be attending, so I decided to make a big sign.

I've burned a few more big ones, but really waiting on the weather for staining.  It's been super windy, and all that wind blew back in some cold, we're at mid 60's with 12 mph wind which makes it a bit too breezy and chilly for me to be outside very long.  Plus it's very "moist" outside right now, as we are expecting a thunderstorm this evening.  

I have finally come to the realization that I can't and don't have to "fix" everything.  Realizing that people have got to figure things out for themselves, even if it is crystal clear to me.  

My kids are in Berlin for Spring Break.  What a life they are living.  I am really so happy for them, happy for the adventures they go on, how they are a tight tight family...just happy for them.  I miss them, of course, but they really are living a great life.

That's about it, I guess, for now.  The boys are good, Brad is acting like the teenager he is, he and Greg have been playing, and they have been very respectful of the alarm clock lately.  

There is a whole flock of birds out there.
Like a scene from the movie.  
All is Well.  

Play Nice!  xxoo
