Thankful Thursday

Last night I talked on the phone with Sabrina, my life long friend, for the first time in several months. Our busy lives don't leave us much time to talk or see each other very often. She doesn't have any children and some of her other friends just do not fit in to my lifestyle. (KWIM?) She does the Facebook thing and sends the occasional chain email, but she not much on internet communication. She is hooked on Farmville. Laughing
Sabrina has a kidney disease that has wreaked havoc on her life since age 12. Cystinuria has left her with 100s of surgical procedures, numerous scars, a lifetime of medications, and more than just the general wear and tear on her body. She hasn't done a good job of taking her medications or taking care of herself. She is getting too old to be playing around with her health, drinking too much, doing drugs, etc.
I was so thankful to hear that she has found a job that she is enjoying and trying to keep the drama out of her life. I am thankful that she is my friend. We have been through some stuff over the years that most friendships wouldn't survive.

What are you thankful for today?

I want Wednesday

Right now...I want to go back to bed! My child usually isn't up before 9:30am at the earliest. Today? No...she was up at 6:50am! Shocked

I want to continue on my mission to get this house cleaned so I can start decorating for Christmas. I have tackled the coat closet, living room, and laundry room so far this week. I think the kitchen is next.

What do you want today? This week?

Make him go away! Part Two

Well, maybe he is gone now. He hung around here all day. Cerdwin really wanted to go outside to play today and the weather was so nice. I hated having to keep her inside because of the dog. He was very friendly, but he had lost his mind chasing all the cats. He would not listen at all. If he wasn't chasing a cat, he was jumping on Cerdwin. When Jason got home around 6pm he didn't see him. I haven't heard any bellowing since about 4 and my dogs haven't been barking. I hope his owners found him. He was a cute dog.

Tackle It Tuesday

Today I am tackling the laundry room! Already listed a variety of items on freecycle that need to go.

****
OK...laundry room has been tackled and taken down! Whoohoo!

Make him go away!

OMG! When we got home last night there was a beagle on our front porch. He won't leave! Has a tracking collar and a name and number on it, but no phone number. I have tried calling the vets offices to ask if anyone had called looking for their dog. No luck there. He is driving my dogs insane and the poor cats are terrified. Every time they move he starts chasing them and bellowing. He needs to go HOME! NOW!

Manic Monday

Is it easy or difficult for you to switch your body clock? I don't sleep very much, so it doesn't really bother me too much.

Do you suffer from jet lag when traveling? Never traveled anywhere to have jet lag.

If you had to pick one place in your town to bring a tourist, where would you go? Hanging Rock

When you travel away from home, do you miss it? Nope.
