Thing are on the up and up....

Doing SOOO much better today. Thanks for the comments and emails, everyone!! I decided to turn my frown upside down and re-focus my energies on just being positive. Not to sound Polly Anna-ish, but I’m starting to believe that what you put out to the universe is what you get in return. Monday, I was a grumpy bitch and look where that got me.

Yesterday after work, I decided at the last minute to head on over to my parent’s house. I think the child inside me just wanted my mommy and a decent home cooked dinner that only Nan can deliver. I was pleasantly surprised to pull up to the house and find that my brother had unexpectedly shown up for dinner as well. I love my brother and miss him sometimes. He only lives down in Milwaukee, but I feel that the only time I get to see him is when we gather together to celebrate something.

While we waited for Nan to return from the grocery store, we sat outside and enjoyed some drinks and played with my sister’s dog. Actually, I was grossed out by my sister’s dog when I saw him drink his own urine as he was peeing!! But, I just made sure he didn’t come anywhere near me after that.

After dinner, Nan and I took Sam (sister’s dog) for a walk. Actually, he took us for a walk through the neighborhood. We saw a deer and a wild turkey, which isn’t unusual, but we were so swarmed by mosquitoes, that we cut our walk short. Still it felt nice to get some exercise in. When I returned home last night, I felt truly refreshed. I got a great night’s sleep and today, I’m feeling great!!

So, I found out that the condo association is in agreement that we are not going to replace our entire roof. We are only going to repair where needed for now. Also, I was able to find a cheaper place to stay on my vacation and I got my cat sitter to come in every other day, rather than everyday, so I’m saving money there. The mortgage company is reversing my overpayment. And I picked up my car today from the repair shop. They deducted $100 off for my inconvenience and then when I got into my car, THIS was laying on the passenger’s seat.



What is it about a simple flower that can brighten one’s day?! The only sucky thing about today is that I got my 2nd round of Hepatitis A and B shots. OUCH!! But, it’s all part of my plan to move forward and live in Mexico.

Boring post, I know, but wanted you to know that I’m feeling better about things.

Smooches!!
