As it is now…
I like books/movies that set you right in the middle of the story and let you figure out all the details yourself without the pages of back story. So I am going to allow you to get to know me the same way. Just dump you in the middle of my life and let you catch up with who I am and the characters that surround me as you read. I don’t get to my computer every day. So I may not post every day, but I will at least make a weekly post unless I am away from home.
I’m excited about the writer’s group that is beginning this year. The first meeting is Tuesday the 27th at my house. If everyone comes we should have about 10 regulars. Taylor has class on Tuesday nights so he may not be able to come until May. I really want this to work and be productive for everyone.
I have felt horrible with the mess that is going on because I quit taking my HRT. My doctor can’t see me until the middle of February so I am calling every day to see if she has a cancellation so I can get in sooner. I am now taking pain meds nearly all day long just so that I can function. I know that the weather usually effects me, but I feel that it wouldn’t be bothering me much if I weren’t in so much pain. Living out here in Caldwell has made me so happy. I love the house. It is easy to clean, just the right size and with my bookshelves and new closet space I feel very moved-in. Now, I just need to put up my pictures.
Right now I feel that life is very good for us. Everyone is healthy and happy. Everyone is employed. The kids are all doing well. I am so thankful for all the good things that are in our lives right now.
I have been rattled at doing the new cub scouts job. There was no one who told me what to do and I just had to go last Wednesday and figure it all out on my own. I wasn’t very happy about it and I was stressed big time. Next week, we have pack meeting and I am singing in a cantata so I won’t even be there. In many ways, I am so relieved. In February we will combine with another group, so I will have help. That den mother has been doing the job for a year and she ought to be able to get me going really well.
Last night Levi and Mari came over to help me. They vacuumed the carpet and tile and helped make dinner and brownies. They are such great kids. I really enjoy having them here. Good thing they live so close. During the party they read and then played Wii with Grandpa. I’ve been cleaning out my books and I gave them some of the ones I no longer was keeping. I was surprised at what they didn’t take more than at what they did take. I had to coax Mari to take Black Beauty. And Levi didn’t want The Hardy Boys books that I had. I will see what Aidan and Zoe want. Also Bay might want some. I still have about 20 boxes of books to unpack and I only have 2 1/2 shelves left out of the 8 Charlie built me. There ought to be a lot of kids books for them to pick through when I am done.
I have sat here too long and now I am in a lot of pain. Need to go rest.
