Of the past 48 hours, I worked 21.
Busy is good. Idle isn't good. Somewhere more approximately midway between the two of them would be nice.
Anyway... so far, so good with the job, love my boss, love the changes he's made at the organization, love seeing my friends regularly again, love the pictures I've seen of the newborn son of one of them (not to mention the five other newborns of various Facebook friends - one more to go!). Anxious for winter to be over, for more sunlight, for more warmth, for no more ice and snow, for leaves on the trees.
Jerry would have been 70 years old next week. I find that absolutely amazing. When we met, he was six years older than I am now. I never thought of him as "old," ever, and he never was, really. And I still don't feel 50, whatever 50 is supposed to feel like.
Anyway, rambling. Place to go, people to see, Sears repairman to await this afternoon, since the dishwasher decided to join the fun and leak last week. Hoping for repair, not replacement. Hoping for more sleep, and soon.
It's wonderful to read the job is a good fit for you. How fortunate to be feeling good and working among people you like. And getting a paycheck is nice and has advantages. Good choices.
ReplyDeleteI am ready for spring and the delights it will bring! Enough of this snow and sleet!
The last few weeks were spent getting stuff ready for the accountant. Figuring out capital improvements for a house where my late spouse and I lived for many years was a formidable task. And also a trip down memory lane, looking at receipts, seeing loved familiar handwriting, notes, etc. I think that is why it took so long. Even though the house was sold, there are still issues like taxes.... Not easy. Maybe there is truth in that the only certainty is death and taxes.
But I think there should be more.
Wishing you well.

ReplyDeleteDoes the fact that you aren't blogging as frequently mean life is keeping you busy, happy and you are enjoying yourself? I truly hope this is your present situation. And if revisiting this place established when sorrow and memories were so intense isn't easy, when you are making room in your life for more, that's OK also. Not easy moving forward, but it does have its pleasures and rewards.
Wishing you peace and contentment.
Here's hoping you are well and have found some measures of peace and happiness.
ReplyDeleteHow is life for you now?
For myself life is OK. Rough moments are few - like I am awake now and thinking of my late husband. Three years plus....
I miss him.
Memories seem to fade.... I want to hang on to them but it's hard when there is no one who shares them.
Making new memories isn't easy. Making room for them seems to happen naturally.
Wishing you well.
Here's hoping your silence means you are enjoying people, places and happenings and even quiet times and that you are making room in your life for new wonderful memories.
