it is a lovely day.

Too bad I am at work.

I wish I had like a month off, so I can make some major progress with my organization at home. I am going through everything and getting rid of a lot. And also taking trips down memory lane constantly. It is crazy what you find in your house that you have kept and just not uncovered for years. I found a whole tub filled with teen magazines I used to collect. Wow. Half of those magazines are not even in print anymore. Makes me feel old now. And then there are diaries, journals, etc that provide proof of your thoughts many years ago and tell you what happened in your life. A lot of things just led me to a laugh and a smile. Anyhow, this process is coming along...just so much stuff. I'd like to get some things done around the house too, like maybe paint my room or something. Mom and I are wanting to put new flooring in too. We just gotta save up for it or something. New flooring would be so nice.

I finally got finished with James's moon and earth picture. It looks pretty cool. Jamey told me to order a 12x18 of it for the store. I bet that will make James feel special. Lol.

So all in all everything is going well, except for money and hours and such. But I do not let that get me down anymore. Just have to stay positive. However, I am still considering the Masters of Art Therapy program that Herron will have come Fall 2011. I think I am going to try for it. Looks like with all of that and where I am at at this stage in the game, family life is something that will be a late start for me. Never imagined it would but it is nonetheless. Owell, get all my ducks in a row then be more at ease later. All will be well.

I know he kicked me out of his life, but I haven't heard a thing about Steve. He doesn't write anymore either. I hope he is okay. I do think about him. Sigh.

Well, I hope this weather stays. It puts me in a good mood and makes me feel cleansed. That and the organization at home. It all makes me feel good.

Dad is out of the hospital and at home now. He has a lot of changes he has to make now though. He went into critical care thinking he didn't have any health issues at all. He came out with a diagnoses of Coronary Artery Disease, Congestive Heart Failure, Diabetes, High Blood Pressure, and High Cholesterol. I am so glad that he went when he did. They said much longer and he may have not been here today. So hopefully we can get him to make some good lifestyle changes.

As for Mom, her knee is hurting her now because of the bone to bone. But that is a minor concern. We did get good news at the last Cancer appointment. They said her Cat Scan was clear and nothing bad was found. So that made us all really happy. She will continue to be checked every 3 months. So hopefully it stays gone because I need my mother.   :)

Uhh, can't think of any other updates at the moment. So enjoy the weather and I hope everyone is doing okay.

Thinking of you,

Sam
