Quick Hello

I'm running late and the day has barely begun.  This morning's dog duty took a lot longer than expected (the gory details can remain a mystery lol).

But, I'm diligently drinking my collagen tea and taking this moment of peace, so life needs to wait just 15 more minutes.

I can't believe move-out day is here!  I loved having them AND I didn't love having them.  I love that they are just 15 min away.  I love that they settled in GA.  I love that they are happy.

I cannot wait to put my house back in order.  Lots of work, but the payoff is HAPPY, HAPPY, HAPPY!

On that note ... HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my eldest.  23 today.  Wow.  Just wow.

I did much better than I expected having them live here.  It was comfortable (mostly) and lots of fun to see them as a couple and to get to know his girlfriend (who could end up being my daughter-in-law).  I liked having another girl around too -- and she's a sweet heart!

But I lost ME.  It was my own fault.  I let all MY "work" go out the window.  Time to claim it back.  Learn from the experience and move forward.  This feels like a beginning to me.  I think I might HAPPY-dance all day today.

Finally sips of my tea and time for a quick wake-me-up workout.  I'll get plenty of stairs, steps and lifting in today (2nd story apartment lol).  Later gators.
