There’s No Place Like Home
Friday after work my guys drove home for the weekend. It was so good to see them! I love for the weekends! Saturday we drove to the home improvement store to buy paint so that I could paint the garage, back porch (inside and… Continue Reading “There’s No Place Like Home”
NOT Counting Chickens…
Ugh. I couldn’t get comfortable on the couch last night so at about 2 a.m. I went upstairs and slept in my bed. I didn’t wake coughing–so either I’m finally beginning to make progress with this stupid sickness or the cough medicine worked. When… Continue Reading “NOT Counting Chickens…”
Northern Experience
Tomorrow will complete my week without my family, another week at work for EJ, and JJ’s adventurous first week in the North. I think we are all having adventures of one sort or another and growing through them. I have been alone for a… Continue Reading “Northern Experience”
JJ’s Northern Adventure
There’s really not much to do in our area and JJ never found a close friend who shares his interests. Over the years we’ve looked for interest or hobby groups but none were available. Last February we finally found a writing class offered through… Continue Reading “JJ’s Northern Adventure”
Much and Nothing
I haven’t written for almost two weeks! In that time, it feels as if life has been filled with busyness and with many ups and downs–and yet not a lot has changed. Yet. JJ was sick last week. He felt miserable for a few… Continue Reading “Much and Nothing”
The Journey to the Enchanted Forest
We are all in various stages of this respiratory infection. It’s been a terrible sickness in which we’ve had nightmares, periods of chills and sweats, terrible deep coughs, loss of voice, lethargy, and other symptoms. After a month, EJ is mostly healthy, although he… Continue Reading “The Journey to the Enchanted Forest”
Offer
I am beginning my second week of being sick with the nasty respiratory infection that EJ gave me. He was sick with it for at least two weeks, so I kind of expect the same. I am very congested, swimmy-headed, and tired, and I… Continue Reading “Offer”
There’s No Place Like Home
JJ and my packing came to an abrupt stop until the middle of last week when I got sick. I think I probably caught EJ’s respiratory infection when he came home the weekend before. I think catching his infection was a small price to… Continue Reading “There’s No Place Like Home”
The Enchanted Forest
EJ came home for the weekend. He got home from on Saturday afternoon and left on Sunday afternoon. It was so wonderful to see him! We went to the store together and EJ encountered a couple of his former co-workers. The joy on his… Continue Reading “The Enchanted Forest”
Possibilities
We are making good progress packing up the house. All the rooms, closets, and drawers are nearly empty except for the kitchen and bathroom. I am leaving those for last. After that I will have to work on the back porch and basement. I’m… Continue Reading “Possibilities”
The Saga Continues
The saga of our move continues… I’ve been spending my days packing. I’m trying to get everything packed as soon as possible so we will be ready to move as soon as EJ finds us a house. Upstairs we have the library all packed,… Continue Reading “The Saga Continues”
Separation
This morning my dear hubby drove off to the Emerald City. I missed him before he even left and I teared up as he drove away. Except for a few days when he was off hunting, we have never been apart. I really miss… Continue Reading “Separation”
Busy
We have been very, very busy. Yesterday morning EJ and I drove to the city to buy him new machinist tools. Machinists always have their own tools. I felt as if we were buy him supplies for the first day of school. On the… Continue Reading “Busy”
The (Im)possible Dream
We have had very cold days for the last month or so. Occasionally we’d have a slightly warmer day and the snow would melt just enough to make everything slippery when the temperatures dropped again. A couple of times we had freezing rain or… Continue Reading “The (Im)possible Dream”
A Tale of Two Stories
This morning EJ and I finalized financial matters so we have money for the move to the Emerald City. EJ also selected a motel and reserved a room for next week when he begins his new job. He is going without us because it… Continue Reading “A Tale of Two Stories”
