I had planned to return to my weekly blog at least, and start slowly getting my other blogs caught up.
Life and Death got in the way.
My mother-in-law passed away in August. It wasn't exactly expected, so that made things very difficult. It wasn't completely unexpected, either. She'd been getting worse for a long time, slowly.
The Saint and I are very close to his parents, both in location and emotionally. You don't realize how it gets when someone is ill. The family revolves around the needs and the condition of one person. Almost everything becomes secondary.
It's hardest for the primary caregivers to remember they need time for themselves, too.
My mother-in-law was a very special person, and I'm glad to have known her.
Life is starting to get back to normal. Fall is coming.
Life goes on.

What's New?
Since I haven't been posting regularly, I am not going to do my usual formula thing.
We've been busy. Let's see - got a new Jeep Liberty. Traded in the old Jeep (which we loved) for a new Jeep. Same color, even, which is kind of sad. But, oh well. It has a navigation system, and Sirius radio which we both like and will keep after the year trial is up for sure.
Got both a PS3 that plays all the PS games, and then got a Wii. I have been playing WoW, but not as much as I'd like. Which has been annoying.
Went to a dog show which was fun. We are hoping to take Rowdy to one in June, but he needs some work before we can show him.
I've been writing a tiny tad. Real writing, not blogging or writing for work. Also still doing my deck-a-week tarot exercise with all my decks. 248 decks, of which 33 are majors only. I will be doing this until at least 2010. Which seems like quite a project, but it's a fun one for me.
Hoping for a good positive six weeks ahead.

So, where have I been for the past 9 months?
Nowhere.
Busy.
All kinds of things.
So - what's been going on with me?
After we got back from our anniversary weekend we got busy. I just kind of lost track of doing my blogs - all my blogs. I think loosing so many of my Friday's off made it more difficult to fit blogging into my life, so I stopped for awhile. I am going to try and write more regularly again.
I have been writing in my paper journal, every day.
Hmmmm, well, we have a new puppy, Rowdy, who we got in December. He was sick at first, so that was worrisome.
So far this year we have both been sick. It's been not a great start to the year. A loss of a family friend hit everyone pretty hard, as he was a young man with a baby who was truly in the wrong place at the wrong time. (He was hit by the trailer of an out-of-control truck, on the wrong side of the road.)
TS and I are working on our house this year, if we can ever get the energy to start working on projects.
Here are a few of the projects we have for this year;
Fixing the water leak outside. It's near the shut-off. It involves digging a deep hole in mud. Doesn't that sound fun?
New flooring in the utility room and master bathroom.
Getting rid of the antique piano and exercise bike. Hauling to the dump.
Hanging the picture I got from Toni last July. One got hung right away, the other one needs different matting to work, and it hasn't happened yet.
Fixing the leak on the roof.
De-junking the house. I still have the master bedroom, Living Room, dining room, Kitchen, rec room, Ken's and my rooms and the Utility room left.
New Back door. Which means new dog door, too.
New Front door.
Fencing the yard. Now there is a project.
Under the counter box for meds, and shelf for electronic device charging.
Shelves for the bedroom. To replace the ones with Magical chew marks on the corners.
8 fake plants in the master bath. Because they don't ruin the shelves like real ones do.
Oak trim around walls.
Oak trim around windows.
Oak trim around doors.
Paint the ceilings.
The other projects - the sliding door that leads to a new porch by the hot tub, new kitchen cabinets, and new floors in the back bedrooms, can wait awhile. But who knows, maybe we will get a burst of energy, and it will all be good......
Hopefully I will get back to my weekly posting soon. I enjoyed it.
