Well, once again I have ignored this site. Getting on Facebook has opened new doors to me and I tend to use my time there and e-mail. Not on very often so this site gets ignored. But this is just a check in.
The weather has now cooled, a strange 80 today though. I have a miserable chest and head cold. This is the first time in YEARS!!! Usually my vitamins get me through. I heard that it's all over
at Sam's work, etc. The only reason it's a problem is that I'm flying to Reenie's on Saturday. Being in a plane isn't the problem, it's all the walking I'll have to do, and I'm really not very strong right now. But, it was May when I last saw them. I cut the 3 times a year down to 2 when we were in recovery from Sam not having a job. I'm really anxious to see them.
Sam is still at BAE on contract till Feb. but an inside friend told him to get his resume updated, which he did. He was to submit it on the 1st, but he overheard a conversation alerting him to the date to be nearer. So, he contacted his friend, went straight to the hiring boss and had an interview. He still does not have anything and is in waiting, as usual. We all know that "life is a waiting room". So,
the two bosses who make this decision will be the ones to keep him. He never did get that design class we had hoped for. This position could have training with it. So, we are once again"waiting on the Lord", or as the NIV says, "Hoping on the Lord". I like that better as I don't do waiting very well. We are hoping to hear this week so we can once again (after almost 2 years) get on with our lives. I'm too old for this!!!
I still haven't painted. I know!!! I worked on the studio over the summer but when I finally got to winterizing it (I started early) I realized that the windows and the big swinging doors were in very bad shape. So, me and my ADD got the paint out. It was quite a job, but I conquered it. I never got to the outside, which I may still do till the weather is too cold. Last Saturday I finished the plastic on the doors, which was step 3 in the process. I had done the other door and window earlier. Having all this painting, the interior furniture, etc. was all moved and now it's a mess again. And, I'm working on a ceramic nativity set for a friend, and it has that paper grass inside the boxes, which is all over. And, now the bugs are in again, which means another bombing. I won't live with those huge spiders...no, no, no!!!! Since I'm going West on Saturday for 2 weeks, it will have to wait till I return. I also have to make an insulated curtain for the doorway inside to the "unheated" half of the building. I also put plastic over that opening. Other than that, it will be ready to roll. I will be painting with Ann while I'm in Wash. also. Looking forward to that a lot!!! Even though it means hauling all my supplies out there, I don't mind. It's worth it!!! Hoping I'll have at least one painting to post when I get home. It probably will be for sale also.
We lost our Hoots cat some time back. I may have posted that??? Remi has become more loving to me, but he's still Sam's cat. I don't want to ruin that. Sam is a dog man and he has never taken to a cat before. This guy has won his heart. When I get home the plan is to get a kitten for me. I've asked the Lord to send me a homeless one, but none has come. I've gotten many amazing cats that way. They chose me. So, when the time comes, that's what I'll do, let them chose me. I'm really excited about it. It took me a while till I was ready, but now I can't wait. I haven't had a kitten to deal with in many years. I think the last one was when Jordan was 3 and we got his Baggy Buddy cat. That's 25 years ago. But it's worth it once I'm through the kitten stage.
My gardens were weed beds this summer. I really need to get mulch down on them. I never had enough good "back" days to do it all. I maintained the others, watered etc. but the main ones were just overrun with weeds. Now it's time to cut them off, pull them out and once again, my back has to cooperate. I see a neuro-surgeon when I return. I have many bad discs pinching nerves and we have to track them. Fun times ahead. I'll do whatever to get back to some sort of normal activity. I'm still too young to be this immobile.
Joined the Well Span Weight Management group about 8 weeks ago. I get weighed today, but up till now it's 7 lbs. and I've increased my food by 5 times. My brain just doesn't get that! I had a bad week this past one with being sick. I just didn't eat anything. Hoping it doesn't mess me up too badly. I don't want to lose a lot, just to get where I can have energy again, and look decent in clothing.
Ok, bye for now. I'll try to not wait so long till the next post. It's been fun meeting with you again...
