I'm Here...

My intention of writing a little bit every day has again fallen by the wayside. I just want to be able to keep track of what it is I do that keeps me so busy. It’s been over a week since I wrote, and I don’t feel like writing a lot of details but do want to put down some highlights.

We went to the Museum of Natural History in Tupper Lake on the 15^th. It’s nice, but it alone is not worth the 4-hour trip. I’m glad we met Maureen and Tom and after went to visit them for a couple of days.

So we were at Maureen’s from the evening of the 15^th until the morning of the 18^th. The weather was iffy. It rained soooo hard Saturday we could barely see across the river. Sunday was nicer and Ron, Maureen and I went into Watertown for shopping and supper. Monday was a beautiful day and we had a nice drive home.

Tuesday was an Ember day. It rained in the morning so we stayed inside. She slept a long time and with the sun up, we took a long walk after she woke up.

Wednesday… hmm… what did I do Wednesday? Stuff.. errands, store, spent an hour with Ron and the rep from the medical supply store as the rep gave instructions on the care and use of the CPAP, vacuumed, did laundry, ironed. It was a busy day; it was a nice day

Thursday – today – was an Ember day. She’s been willful and today was no exception. It’s fascinating, though, to see her mind work as she learns how to live life. A nice surprise for me was Michele leaving work early. Yippee!! She was happy to get out early. I was happier to get home early.

Gas prices – They’ve been falling. Down to $3.759 in Glenmont Cumberland. Sunoco in Greenville still has it at $3.899.

The weather – Today was gorgeous. Sunny and mildly warm. Warm enough for Em to be in shorts cause she ran all over the park playing, but I stayed in jeans cause I’m cold unless the temp is 80, and it wasn’t 80 today!

Life lessons – It’s been a difficult week for me. I’m feeling out-of-sync with “regular” life.. my new life. I’ve spent a lot of time thinking about my apartment in Niskayuna and how much I liked living there. In less than a year I’ll be 60 years old, and though I know what makes me happy, I, once again, listened to my heart and not my mind. This time, if/when things change, I will not ignore what I know is best for me.
