Still here..

Just busy, been busy on house, and classes started again Monday night.

Weee.. will try to add pictures of what I"ve been doing on the house soon as I have a few more minutes.

Quiet Sunday Morning

Sitting here, I'm the only one awake so far and I'm just enjoying the house to myself. It got chilly again last night, and I'm hoping that this cold stuff goes away pretty damn soon. I'm ready for complete springtime!

I had a dream the other night about dad that I couldn't shake off. It wasn't bad or anything, in fact is was very comforting. It stayed with me all night and all yesterday, so I finally called mom and asked if there was something I was missing, something real going on that perhaps would account for this. There wasn't anything tangible, but she and I came to the conclusion it was just dad trying to say it was alright, everything is ok. The dream was all about me trying to take care of him, to comfort him and just be there for him.It was so warm and good feeling and I just could feel dad around me, knowing that he's ok, and knowing especially that he never blamed me for not being there.

Sometimes it gets to me how much I miss him, even more than I thought I would. Its hard not being able to tell him everything thats going on in my life, not being able to listen to him, just to hear his voice.

Week off, but I'm here

Well I didn't have time or energy to post for a week, so updating now.

The job, is absolutely freaking wonderful. I love the people, the work, the distance from home. I love everything about it. The pay is kick ass, I can log on during work (on breaks of course) to do my course work, when I found that out I was SOOO happy.

THe house is wonderful, perfect even. I spent all today out in the dirt making flower beds and planting. Bit more to do tomorrow, and I'll be done for a while there. Got our first lawnmower, and Brian will crack that baby out tomorrow.

School is going well, even though its been rough fitting it all in this week. Week long units in the future will be VERY hard. I'm still on track, going to take my quizes in the morning while everyone is still in bed and work on homework then as well. This is the last unit for these two classes, a couple weeks off and then my next two classes start. Those will be intro to paralegal and computer applications. Wee?

Weight loss, if you see the bar up top, I'm doing just fine. I lost 3 pounds the first week here, and its still going down, even though I haven't had time or energy to exercise. I need to fit that back into my routine, I am missing the energy it gives me for the day. About 8-9 pm I peter out and am falling asleep on the couch. Course, that could be cause I'm working my first 40 hour week ever.

I'm happy... I'm content... My life is moving forward and things are going well. Nothing is perfect, and it shouldn't be. If it was I'd worry. Theres just enough on the not perfect side of the fence that it keeps me going without worry that something big is hiding around the corner.

I can't wait for my mom to come visit in a couple months. That will be wonderful to spend time with her. Work already said I can take half days (weeee) and I can also make up the hours ahead of time too.

Life is good.
