Just an update, I have bittersweet feelings right now, as my brother left about an hour ago to move back to the country.  I would guess it would be about ten tonight before he gets to his new home, due to the load on the truck.  He’s been living with me for almost three years.  It feels strange right now, knowing he’s gone.

hi my website readers.  Yes, I am still alive and surviving, just trying to adjust to living and handling things by myself, as I know my counseling is getting ready to change to every other week, so I won’t have that weekly time to share, and, if all goes as planned, my brother is supposed to move back to the country either tomorrow or Thursday, and, yes, it was very sudden.

 

i still am dealing with planter fasciitis, am getting ready to eat a bread less burger and I just got back from borrowing my son’s lawnmower so I can get the grass mowed this afternoon.

just wanted you to know I’m ok, and will be back to writing soon.

It’s been a really busy and a very long day.  I’m glad I’m finally home and in my recliner and have my feet up.  I put ice on the foot with planter fasciitis for a while, but now I’m doing foot stretches with it to try to keep it from getting stiff.  I didn’t use my cane today, but I should have, it relieves the pressure from my heel a lot.

I tried taking pictures of the solar eclipse early this morning, but I didn’t get any pictures, the neighbors tree was in the way, the moon was hiding in between the branches, I was really disappointed.  I did take a picture of the sun peeking through a cloud earlier in the evening yesterday.  I’ll try to remember to post it before I close tonight.

I had my counseling session tonight at five instead of at one this afternoon, because of a work meeting.  It was another good session, not a lot to talk about.  I have felt like the last two or weeks that it is almost time that I will be moving from every week to every other week.  I have mixed emotions about it, glad I’m finally getting better, but will miss the chance to talk every week.  I’m going to try not to worry about it, I know it has to happen sometime and I have left that timing up to my counselor.  I told him that back in the spring that I am not going to be the one to try to move to every other week like I sometimes used to do, and I am sticking with it.  When he feels like I’m ready, he’ll say so.

I’m going to close and try to relax for a while and maybe check facebook for some more low carb recipes and then head for bed.  I don’t have to work tomorrow in the office, but I will need to work from here at home.  Lots to do and scan.

Never mind I think I have already posted it!

Not feeling the greatest tonight, but better than a few hours ago!  I finished the scanning that has been driving me crazy all weekend and all day today.  I’m calling it a night but I have to work on my regular stuff tomorrow.  I feel like I’m about ready to go to bed.

I smell brownies baking, but there’s no one making them here, and the windows are not open.

i have some major letters to write and complain in some and I’ve been tackling the things I need to do one project at a time and gradually checking them off of my to do list.  These are things that take a while to do, not just a second or two, and I feel good when I am able to mark one off.

i finally turned my furnace on for a while this weekend, I was doing ok because of my fireplace but I was afraid my brother would be getting cold downstairs.

By the time the middle of the month comes, I will need to make a decision about whether to keep a booth in the resale shop or not.  I am barely selling enough  to pay the rent on my space.  I have a feeling I will be donating  a lot of things to thrift stores around here.  Some of it I may try to sell on Craigslist or on eBay.

The clouds were just gorgeous today but I didn’t really feel like stopping anywhere to take pictures, but I’m going to post a picture that I took tonight from my deck.
