Month: June 2020

Has it really been almost two weeks since I last posted here?  Is it really already June?

No news is good news, I suppose.  Just crazy busy with work, fitting in some gardening when I can, and doing a lot of thinking.

There have been so many changes lately.   Everything is upside down and sideways.  For someone who typically has quite a Rain Man-like fondness for change (i.e., none at all, in case you haven’t seen that movie), I pat myself on the back for hanging in there pretty well.

But it did get my mind churning.  When it’s time to pick up all the pieces, do I even want them back in the exact same places and arrangements they were in before?  When everything is a blown-apart mess, maybe it’s an opportunity to do some serious cleaning out and rearranging.

Who knows where this train of thought will lead me.  I am not unhappy.  Not at all.  I have actually been having a lot of fun spending so much time with my husband, and I have gotten used to working from home.  I just feel the itch for more change, or maybe just to orchestrate and direct where things go from now on.  I’ll take it from here, life, okay?

Last week I somehow managed to lose 1.5 pounds, which was a surprise for me.  I have been straying away from my routine, and that is definitely high on my list of changes that need to happen: getting back to a consistent workout schedule.  My gym finally opened back up, and I plan to pay a much-needed visit this weekend.

Speaking of weekend, I am thrilled it’s less than an hour away for me.  It’s been a hectic week, and I am ready for my stepkids to be here, ready to show them some changes we’ve made to the house (see, told you I was in the mood for change lately), and definitely ready to turn off this computer and just enjoy my loud, belligerent, smart-mouthed, just-like-me-in-that-way family.
