REMEMBERING

Sometime during the work morning, I noticed I was a little blue. No particular reason, my cold/sinus stuff is almost gone but just felt a cloud over my head like a cartoon character might have. Do you understand? Something bothering you but just don't know what.

Then I looked at the calendar and there it was the date...2/20... my first husband's birthdate. There it was the reason for that cloud. Not him but the fact that my mother's death date is 3 days after his birthday on 2/23. It happens every year since Mama's gone. The first few years I would call all my siblings, then later I would send my oldest sister and email, then I would just think about her, my first husband and the events surrounding her passing as if it were yesterday. Truth is, if Mama were still here she would 98 year old but still even at 58, I need my Mama sometimes and I miss her like crazy.

HOME

This picture was taken from my front porch (see lower right roof line) a few years ago. I don't have a picture of the house itself so this one will do.

DH and I are home and happy. We moved back to my house which is now our home last week.

Both of us are getting over cold/sinus stuff. Him quicker than me but hey I came back to work and he got to stay home. However, he has been keeping busy doing various projects. I have to give him credit the man never quits. When he gets his mind set on doing a particular task he doesn't give up on it and he doesn't quit until it is done.

Since D3 and her hubby had made the house their home, complete with putting something on every wall we have a lot of repair work to do and I still smell cat everytime I come in the door from the garage. It will all sort itself out with time.

Eating wise not so great but when I returned to work Monday, I had not gained so for me that is a victory. I'm slowly getting back into a routine. Will be catching up with you soon.
