Doing right now
 

I am sitting here sipping on an ice tea with lots of lemon and ice. I am a happy camper today. I GOT MY HAIRCUT in a backstreet barber for only $20. Most are charging 35-65 cause they are taking a chance on getting fined if caught. It has been hell here since Dec. wanting this cut and its cutttttt. Happy Butch.

Watching the first 2 episodes of ALONE I DVR it and watch when I can

I am looking at the jewelry that I brought home with Me today that was My Mom's My sister and I went through My Mom's jewelry box. Talk about emotional. There were earrings, pins, necklaces, bracelets, brooches, - all sorts of pieces - some that Myself and My siblings gave her over the years - some that was My grandmother's (her Mom's). I swear when I look at these pieces I can remember when I purchased it - what it was for (holiday or just to say I love you).

I reminds Me of those shows where you see someone touch another article of clothing or a piece of their jewelry, etc. and they can feel the memories from that item rushing through them. That is how My sister and I felt today.

So right now I am just sitting here feeling all of that emotion - and smiling - and feeling so blessed to have the family I have - even when there have been moments of being driven crazy by their actions and I am sure they would say vice versa.

Oh and I am always trying to decide what to have for dinner - whatever it is I will have to go out get it or get stuff to make it. It is 5pm so I should probably at least get a rough idea going.

It is almost 7 a.m. just got up from a fairly good nights sleep (finally). Having my breakfast of a carrot muffin and coffee. Cloudy and cool at the moment. Just finished watching news.

Well, given I did not sleep well last night and to add to that insult- I woke up at 3:30am and could not go back to sleep. So - I decided to get My place cleaned - swept and mopped, did dishes, laundry is in the dryer, put in My grocery delivery order and it is only 8:14am. (laughing).

I just had a thought pop into My head - I now realize why I can get stuff done in a snap at home - but at work - things do not go that path. It is simply because we rely on too many other people in that chain to do their part to make sure the project gets completed and on time. Here - at home - at 3:30am I am pretty limited as to who I have to rely on - and depending on the situation - that is a good thing.

Listening to the thunder and watching the rain pour straight down in rivets. Sun is coming through the clouds. What a beautiful sight. Nature giving the earth and total washup. I love it.

Sipping ice tea, loving that feeling of something cool after a dental appointment. J forgot to cancel at the college and I didn't want the student left hanging. A cleaning there is inexpensive and why not make life a little easier when I go in for my appointment with the hygienist at my dentist's latter this month. It didn't happen often to me in clinical but when it did grrr. I didn't do dental but I imagine it's the same for anyone needing to get their check offs - supremely inconvenient!

I was fortunate. The students were a week from graduation. Mine had been an assistant for over 20 years before deciding, after her sons were on their own, it's my turn now. So she was flawless, enough so that J and I did lunch immediately after. Anyhow skying down from that, getting ready to do some online shopping and working on some sugar free Jello J made me, 2 kinds and some sort of don't know what it is whip cream filling but it tastes good to use on both. So working on typing this in between bites of that. :D

Right now I am looking out the window of My home office - and wondering when the storm is actually going to start. The super dark clouds have arrived and I think Mother Nature is out there trying to make her mind up on when to start and how long should it last.

I love how it feels right before a storm.

I just gave Milo a snack. Now I am doing laundry and watching HomeTown.

Home Town is good but Unsellable Houses and Bargain Block are great! Right now I'm taping Unsellable Houses to watch later tonight. Unfortunately Bargain Block just wrapped up their season last week.

Cooling down (it's hot outside) and waiting for an appointment to begin. I'm thinking about how lucky I am to have the life I have.

Relaxing after dinner, listening to River Monsters, watching over all my old dogs who are resting and well taken care of, delighting in the cool air from the ceiling fan over my bare legs. Thinking about tomorrow.
