Monday Monday

My day has turned into night, soon I will turn off the light for a few hours of sleep...

I've been mulling over several thoughts to write about but nothing seemed to work...

I'll try again tomorrow...must be the whole Monday Monday thing about can't trust that day...

Feline Sibling #5

16 days after having surgery for an abscess Gus is having his staples removed tomorrow. He was housebound for a week but since being allowed back into the outdoors he seems to be coming home more often. He is the sweetest cat; falling at your feet to be petted.

lazy, long weekends...

I love weekends when I have absolutely nothing to do...I wish I could remember the last time that happened!

Started off fixing a problem Pops had with his "Word" program, he's writing a script and must have hit something that caused a formatting glitch, I took the easy way out and cut and paste his script to right before the error started happening and made a new document, so far so good. Then Mom and I headed to Tampa for lunch and Godiva, slight traffic issue and I helped direct us to a fast route both coming and going since there was a back up going home as well. Back at the house Pops set up the new computer but couldn't get the internet going, no he didn't read the instruction but I figured out how to get thing connected anyway.

Now I am exhausted, too much brain work for a Saturday! Think I'm taking tomorrow off!

Blessings

For the past 17 days I've been posting quotes about gratitude on my facebook page, that simple act has made me realize how blessed I am.

I have a wonderful family, 4 legged children, friends, co workers, I have my health, I have an interest to learn and be creative.

I have so much, I have blessings in abundance and when I start feeling down or frustrated I need to remember this!

My latest addiction

It really doesn't take much to amuse me and a couple of months ago I discover Pinterest. Pinterest is a like a virtual bulletin board. I actually have 119 "boards", each one has a topic and in some cases clever "titles" , my board with roses is called "By any other name", pins about the movie Star Wars is called "May the Force, others are just obvious, like "Bacon Bacon Bacon", "Autumn" and "Things I Like".

The really fun part is other pinners follow me and repin what I've repinned from someone else! It's never ending. It's a great way to pass time....too much time....escapism at its best!

oh no!

yes, I fell asleep at my computer last night about 9pm and didn't blog at all...to be honest I wasn't inspired to write anything...guess my body knew that...hoping tonight will be different and I already know that tomorrows blog will be late.....
