Just feeling good after being in pain for a long time,the injections work as long as I get them when I need them.

Not having to rush around to get ready for work for a change but more then that was a shared dinner at a Tia restaurant and the conversation that went a long with it.

Someone baking a cake just for ME for a change....

I bought a new-to-me portable dishwasher today. I love to cook but hate, hate washing dishes, so now that won't be an issue. :)

Sleep will bring me joy. I am sure of that.

My shoes came today! Not that I need them before April. That's plenty time to decide if they will do or if I must find another, more suitable pair. :hk14:

A good, productive day.
I enjoyed watching all the wild birds and squirrels flitting and flirting about as the snow came down. Everything is so quiet when it snows that you can clearly hear birdies sing and fuss at eachother. As I went about my storm-prep chores, spending the day with a witty, wildly-funny, confident, articulate, flattering, caring and respected friend brought me much joy. I can't express how good their positive, non-pressuring, non-intimidating, genuine friendship feels. They make me laugh so much, it reminds me of how momma D taught me the value of laughter and value of a close friendship. They made a cold, snowy, worrisome day pass fast with a delightful distraction. The value of friendship and laughter ...brings much joy. |
A gift....of compassion. ...
|
I'm HOMEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm basking in the simple joy of life at home with ONLY and her sweet boy. I have missed it so much. I can't wait to spoil them for the next 3 weeks. Woooo!! :sparklyheart::love1:

Eagles
An American Bald Eagle has been sitting in the same tree for 4 consecutive days. Each day, I get closer and closer and finally have some great video. (in case I get old-timers)
The only thing I can surmise is the rivers in the surrounding St. Louis area are all frozen and their food of choice is fish. They are having to increase their hunting grounds. How majestic the eagle is. |
Getting a call from my handsome son and hearing he's got a promotion!! So happy and proud!
|
Watching the fog rise from the bay, as the sun set. Admiring an ancient old man feeding seagulls, and noticing something new - those with spots on the tips of their wings, also had a spot on their beaks. :)

Hearing Daddy sound relaxed for the first time in over a week!

Being on cloud 9 :)
My son inviting me to Colorado :) The late evening sunshine and now the bright moon and stars giving me hope about warm weather and safe travels tomorrow. Excited to see my son even if I must wade thru 20 inches of Pennsylvania's snow. Watching the wildlife play in the snow and enjoy what food I put out in as many spots as I could get to. an awesome dinner (my roommate and I are awesome cooks! Damn that was yummy !) My self confidence slowly building back up with the nurturing of a dear friend. Getting to relax today after confirming I didn't need to be on the roads...relaxing helped ground me and focus on important things. Being looked after by close friends and family. Ending the day on cloud 9. |
Her giggle

Stopping in to see my co-worker who started back to work today (I start back on Monday) and receiving a great big smile and hug from her.

his brought me joy ...
Kevin, my mixed mastiff male dog, actually got up with me this morning at 4:45. He normally sleeps late. It used to be my beloved Kelly (bully mix) who would get up with me every morning. I would wake up, turn on the bedroom light and go sit on the end of the bed for a few minutes. Kelly would come sit by me, lean on me. I would put my arm around her, we'd do kissy face while I hugged her. I miss my Kelly so much - at times it seems unbearable. Kelly died 3 weeks ago yesterday - it was Friday, January 24, 2014 when I came home after work and found her in the backyard. I think it had just happened not too long before I got home. Performed CPR and mouth-to-mouth, shook her, yelled at her, begged her to wake up but she couldn't. Kevin and I miss her so much. She was only 5 years old and now I wish so much I had taken her to get an autopsy. She was great that morning. Played on the bed with Kevin, ate her breakfast. They both enjoyed a good brushing just before I showered for work. I don't know what happened to my baby. Instead of taking her to be creamated the next day, I wish I had taken her in for an autopsy. Looking back, I believe I was in shock for a few days ... not thinking well at all. Well, Kevie and I are hanging tight and he is fine. I had to take him to the Emergency Animal Clinic last weekend. He was crying and had difficulty walking around. They did all the tests on him at the clinic. He had a hurt leg or foot. He was sent home with pain pills. I spent over $600.00 at the emergency clinic for them to tell me he is fat and I must get 30 pounds off him. I do not begrudge one penny of that money. You cannot put a price tag on peace of mind. I am walking Kevie in the mornings before work. I come home at lunch and we go for a walk, then again eack evening. He is not liking his dry dog food but he will adjust eventually. I can tell he is already a few pounds lighter in one week. I cannot lose Kevin too. And I told them at the emergency clinic the same thing too. I love my Kevin Daniel!!!! :) |
Well, this past week was a bit sad. We lost little Oskar, our male frog. He became suddenly ill and we had to take him to the vet. Of course, I took him to the vet as soon as I noticed something was wrong. Unfortunately, it was too late and we had to make the decision to put him down. It about broke my heart, as I had become very attached to the little dude (his songs were the best!!!). :(
So, that left little Dolly a "widow". She's been moping around, climbing all over the big frog house, looking for Oskar. It was so sad. She'd turn around and just look at me, wide-eyed, as if to ask, "Where is he??". We couldn't bear it any longer.......... So off to the frog store we went!!!!! Two hours later, we're bumping over the road home with a little carton containing 4 new very surprised little frogs!!! They're adult White's Tree Frogs, and I *think* we have 3 girls. Two of the four are VERY big girls, one spritely little male (already named "Simon") and one little girl who loves to tag along with the gang. We're thinking of naming her "Tuti". They were all living in a small house together, like a little "family". We couldn't separate them, so we bought/adopted them all!!! :awww::frog::frog::frog::frog::awww: We're having to quarantine them before we can put them in the Big Frog House with Dolly, just to make sure everyone's healthy, and that will last about a week to 10 days. So, we have the little frog house, with all 4 new occupants, sitting beside the Big Frog House, where Dolly can sit on her ledge and look in to see her new friends and they can see her. We'll be so happy when the time comes to bring them in with Dolly to the Big Frog House. They'll have it made, as the Big Frog House has a waterfall with pond and lots of vines, plants and ledges to climb and sit on, and a new friend in Dolly. :winky::heartbeat: I'm full of joy at having a new gang of little frogs again. Dolly will be elated!!!! :eyebat::clap::frog::heartbeat: ~Theo~ :bouquet:.......proud Dad. :winky: |
Joy!
The realization that it has been at least 2 weeks since I have had any coffee and I haven't even killed anyone, lol. Okay, there may have been a small temper tantrum at work last week, but I got over it quickly enough, lol. ;)
Then, reading something this morning (particularly one sentence within the reading) that made me DIE laughing at first - only to lead to a pretty profound epiphany as I entertained it further. One of those WHOA! moments. I've been discovering how pleasant hot tea is in lieu of coffee and I find that I look forward to it every day now. I never was much of a tea drinker, so it has been pretty interesting to discover that I now wonder how I have missed the joys of hot tea all these years?!? Plus, I don't feel nearly as jittery on it. Coffee, I will always love you dearly, but we need to see much less of each other - weekends only - because I simply find myself bereft of all self-control in the presence of your full-bodied, flavorful, delightfully-scented deliciousness. |
...A glorious nap today without any interruptions. Amazing. :praying:
|
Even though the tension in my house is quite high, I am one smiley girl due to a certain someone ~ she isn't on this site but if you could see the mile wide smile on my face when I talk to her its undeniable :D
|
I made a chocolate cream pie with an almond crust last night, and I think it might be better today!
|
Good people and true friends.
|
Having really good conversations with my new poly family sister. Helping her plan her time with Alix knowing I am really happy to have her as part of our family.
Spending time trying to alleviate stress on Alix while he works helping him prepare for her visit. |
Ohhhhh daaayummm...my cloud 9 just jumped up several more levels!
Having my son in my arms and seeing his compassion and respectful nature shine through made me beam with joy!!!! Nothing can take this happiness from me!! Reconnecting with a friend. being "watched over" by two amazing people while I made a difficult and painful 18+ hour journey. Although they weren't sitting in the seat next to me and they both were in different states, their presence and constant protection was available to me through out my entire trip. They never let me feel alone or afraid of the chaos that was ever present because of crowded noisy, confusing, overwhelming surroundings in each terminal and mass-transport vehicle. One even stayed up during my entire trip to help me stay calm and help me navigate things. They never left my side. It's nice -certainly a change- to feel so "wanted and watched over". This helped me enjoy my time with my son even more! I learned this trip to allow myself to be protected and watched over...I don't have to do it all myself and get burned out. I am in awe at my son.and his accomplishments over the past two years. I couldn't be more thrilled and "my emotional gas tank" overflows with joy!!! |
watching a dusting of snow blwoing off the roof and swirling on the wind....all while enjoying the warmth and scent of the wood stove....
