Organization and Ugh

Well got my room cleaned today - finally!!  Even picked up some storage boxes from Ross to organize my shoes. That's been a project on my shoulders for Lord knows how long.  Feels good to have it done.

Was in a mood today. Finished hanging up my clothes then just laid on the bed and had a good sob.  You always hear the talk about menopause and hormones and I think that's the battle I'm in right now.  Focusing on my age, my singledom, my stress at work, and my all around feeling of ugh. Thankfully I know this too shall pass.

Here's to getting back into my regular routine tomorrow!!

Cleaning and Cars

Congrats to son Sam who got himself a car yesterday.  He ended up buying a Subaru Outback from one of his friends - good car and will work out pretty well for him.

Speaking of cars, Jordan and Candy were involved in a car accident this afternoon.  Thankfully no one was hurt but their car sustained some damage.  But a damaged car is nothing compared to the fact they are safe.

Today I cleaned and moved craft crap out to the garage in order to clean up the dining room.  I also set up my garage door to be fixed this Friday and called to get prices to rent a garbage drop box. Absolutely have to clean the garage and having a large garbage can will help immensely.

Tomorrow on my last day home from work I will be finally cleaning my room. Yes a task I've been putting off forever but it must be done!!

Bubbles and Bun

Well the beach hasn't happened and not sure it will but I've been keeping busy on my days off from work.

Saturday Sam got his license back and we cruised to Vancouver to look at rigs. He didn't get one yet but hopefully will in the near future. Nice to see him adulting.

Yesterday morning  as I was driving through town I ran across people blowing huge soap bubbles. No reason for it but it brought a smile to my face.

My hair is growing out nicely as I'm now able to put it in a man bun, which I promise will only be rocked in the house.

Off to get my nails done!  Let's make it a great Monday!

The Beach is Calling and I Must Go!!

I'm feeling a vacation coming on!  Just a short trip to the beach will suit me just fine.

I've taken Mon-Wed off from work now I just need to figure out where to go.  Somewhere with a spa to get a nice massage.  Maybe a facial.  Cannon Beach?  Seaside?  Lincoln City?  Ocean Shores?  Not sure yet but will decide this week.  I need some serious walk on the sand, treasure hunting, and the crisp salty air to breathe.  Thrift stores to poke around in, galleries to browse, and a nice comfy bed in which to relax.

Here's to having a fabulous trip!!

Alli Oops!

So what happens when you find a piece of driftwood that looks like an alligator?  You paint it of course!!  Now the only question I have is who wants it?  I mean where am I going to put a painted alligator???

Thinking I'm Done with my Chinese Craving!!

Spent Friday evening with my BFF watching movies, talking ad nauseum about my trials and tribulations, and ate pizza.  It was a good therapy session and thankfully she doesn't charge me because at the rate I'm going it would be a big bill.

Saturday I slept in, then dinked around town, going to Goodwill and my usual haunts.  Scored a major leather jacket find for 50% off along with a pair of black mary janes.  It's the kind of jacket I can wear with a skirt so looking forward to wearing it tomorrow to work.

Was craving Chinese again so picked that up for dinner then Sam stopped by with his buddy Cody to visit.  Good thing I had my fill because my Chinese leftovers were soon devoured.

Sam and I chatted about relationships, of which we are very similiar.  Perhaps it's the Aquarius in us that makes us put others happiness above our own.  Thankfully I've seen the light and that's not going to happen again....I hope not at least.

Cleaned the kitchen, folded laundry and washed more laundry this morning before church today.  Then watched a few movies while painting rocks and driftwood, including an alligator in progress. Relaxing day with the threat of snow being the only downside. C'mon spring get your butt here!!

Happy Monday to all!!

It's Roo Time!

It's not every day a kangaroo comes into work!!  The other day an applicant  mentioned she was babysitting her sister's kangaroo.  When she asked if we wanted to see it of course we said yes!!

Cooper was a 6-7 month Joey who was sitting in a sling wrapped around the lady. He was so cute!  Serious claws though!   Apparently the sister has a full grown one at home. Quite the experience seeing a kangaroo up close and personal!

I took today off from work as a mental health day.  Just lots of thinking to do about decisions to be made to better my life. To help me think, I decided I needed to treat myself to Chinese food!  Haven't had it for so long and boy did it hit the spot!!
