Cleaning house

I woke up at 4 am and decided to start on the house, saying I would only go for like an hour. It is amazing what you can get done in an hour...ok probably closer to 2 hours by the time I stopped. What did I do, well....

1. cleaned kitchen, mopped, swept, clean out the fridge, straightened cupboards
2. clean out drawers and closet in got rid of fat clothes.
3. got the laundry ready to go and started.
4. changed sheets and deep clean bedroom.

Then after I was done with that I went for a 3 mile walk! I feel so FREAKING good. I almost sat down and cried this morning after I finished cleaning. It makes me feel so much better when everything is in it's place. If only I would keep it like that. I still have to do the bathroom, but that will be a breeze. then I am going to go to the movie this morning. $5 movies before noon. I am going to see The Soloist. Then over to see my Sweeet Nadine. The sweet little old lady that I have helped take care for 2 years is unresponsive and not eating, so I know that it won't be long now. I was so sad last night coming out of her house to know that she won't ever make me laugh again. I love her so much. Her family made me feel like their family and I will miss the relationship that I have had with them. I always maintain the relationship with the families, but it's never like it was. CHANGE......it is the only thing that is for sure in this life!

I am feeling better today, much better. I have been tapering off my zoloft, and I have been feeling kind of weird. I had a really bad with draw from Paxil about 8 years ago, so I am being careful, that could also account for why I have been more anxious over the past couple of days. I have talked with the doctor, I am going to start on hormones. So we'll see what happens. I am hoping this will help me out with a number of things. Time will tell. Making good decisions today. Good eating, moving and most of all good THINKING. Thanks for all your encouraging words.

Have a good weekend, and be positive!

    You are right - we are morning-person sisters! I'm waiting around to go to a festival. Been ready for like, ever!

    Isn't the feeling of accomplishment wonderful so early in the morning?

    I'm sorry to hear of your friend's illness.

    Wishing you a great day!

    Awesome on the cleaning - don't you just love that feeling of accomplishment? Enjoy that movie - I hear it's wonderful!

    Sorry about your friend. It's hard to see someone decline, but you are sweet to be there for her and her family.

    Hang in there with the tapering off - just do it really slow and hopefully you won't get many bad side effects. Good for you for getting off those mind-alterers!

    Wow, you've had a blast of energy! I picked at my house, but didn't get even close to finishing.

    Good luck with the hormones. I hope everything works out for you!

Contentment at last

Oh my goodness!!  I can't beleive how long it's been since I haave posted here.  So maybe things have changed.  The month I moved in with my son and daughter in law, a friend from high school asked if I wanted to be a "Granny Nanny" for her 86 year old mother.  It would mean moving back to my home town and living with the woman.  I didn't hesitate.  I had a good feeling about it from the start, so I went for it.  So, as of the first of October I have been residing in a cozy little home in Orem, UT.  The woman is just a sweetheart.  So easy to please and I feel so comfortable.  The pay is great too.  I like living with someone and it has just been a win/win.  I love my surroundings.  I love the mountains, the memories, being around my extended family.  My sister lives here, as does my aunt, a ton of cousins on both sides of the family.  Of course the downside is I am away from my kids and my grandkids.  I m...

A Traditionally Built Woman

I am listening to the latest No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency books. Blue Shoes and Happiness. They are sweet simple stories about a woman in Botswana Africa. She is a "traditionally built" woman. This means of course that she is heavy. I have never seen the show on HBO, but I love the books. In this book she decides to go on a diet. All her litle "insights" about going on a diet are cute....and so true. My favorite is how it's human nature that when you decide to restict ANYTHING you always end up wanting more of it. How she thought that was funny, until she herself was on a diet, now not so funny. How she gets crabby when she's hungry. I could so relate and it made me smile. People, we are more alike then we are different. The book is written by a white man, which I think is great. See, more alike then we are different. I have my grandkids birthday party today. My daughter, "C," is doing 2 kids in one party. They are still young enough that they don...
