starting up










































So, I've achieved a greater sense of calm....  the panic of 'another loss' has passed, and I have placed a claim here, and even 'there'....  somehow I'm catching up with my [paperwork] workload, what is urgent has been scheduled and I am able to look forward...
a little.... 

along with the panic came some satisfaction of completing things, and learning NEW ones... [ look I've even managed between Sonny and Lisa and Baz's tutorials to decorate the place a little!].... and I have added a guestbook!   who says you can't teach an old....    my next big project is to create a web site for the office ~~ that will be a whole new learning experience....

the MIL is doing well in the rehab/nursing center ~ the Alzheimer's makes her forget she 'should have' pain,  and she gives in to the need to just get up and go, 'borrowing' her roomie's wheelchair, and racing through the halls PUSHING it, while the brakes are locked.... [ resistance training, lol] ~  she just got that new hip!

I'm was a little cranky about not getting in as many mini~trips this summer as originally planned, but I'm a big girl now, and can handle some disappointments...

I am back to eating 1 minute instant oats for my breakfast, I add a dash of syrup and a few drops of vanilla coffee creamer on occasion... but this morning I added a tablespoon of crunchy peanut butter to the hot oatmeal and stirred it up!  what a way to start the day~

  1. Hello, nice to see you. Glad your life is settling down a bit. I missed most of the tropical storm, we are getting the tail winds and rain now.

  5. Hi Monica:
    Your page is looking lived-in, unlike mine which is still "off the shelf". Neat effects on the heron pic. Life is a work in progress.
