We changed realtors and in five weeks, he sold the house for over the asking price. This is a great way to end the winter.
I bought ink and was able to print more art that I will package for sale in person or on my Etsy page.
I joined an small business accountability group that meets on Monday mornings and it has changed my life.
Our friend who broke her leg in the car accident is getting the help she needs.
Our nephew is camping out at our house until he can move into the house his mom bought last week.
My stepson got out of eight very challenging years in the USAF and moved into our family room in the fall. He has been there on the couch ever since. Lots of healing and rest needed. He will likely be moving to school in a month or two. He has changed life for my kids, for the better.
I have one "kid" in his second year of college at Ohio State Lima. He will move to Columbus this summer. He works hard and parties hard. He recently acquired a bearded dragon. He also smokes a jewel. I have another "kid" who is loving her first year in a local college. She joined band, playing (carrying) one brass instrument or another. She thought the director did not know she was not actually blowing into the thing, but he did. He said she knows enough now that she ought to play it.
Then I have the last kid who is in a different school district than the one he grew up in. He is doing his last 2 years at another school and is doing fine.
We have two others, one in Columbus in IT. He is kind of a hermit, I think. The other is in Hawaii and has a bunch of kids. We haven't seen her since 2002.
Our niece, sister to the above-mentioned camping nephew, comes by every other week with her two little ones and her husband-type-person. The kids are five and six and very cute. It's like having grandchildren.
My one sister just bought a house, and I would love to go down and help her unpack. Not sure I can, but I want to. She helped me tremendously in so many ways and it would be a nice payback.
My other sister has way too much on her plate as a super-mom, doting wife, caring sister, and more. I am my happiest when I know she can give attention to her Self.
One brother is Basically Unknown since he has limited energy to interact. I at least can text with him and keep him in prayer. Health issues are pressing.
My other brother is a kind and caring chef and host. He sent me to Florida in December for a break and wow, it was amazing.
All my siblings are extremely generous in every way.
Mom is hopping around to see them all. I am glad she is enjoying that!
Our business is slooooooow this year. Not sure what to do about that.
I need to do keep working on weight loss and am looking forward to swimming.
I have two friends who just got hip replacements and one more to go.
The vets who live here just did the dishes.
I am building a new website for my own biz.
I am meeting a friend at 1:00 and looking forward to seeing her.
I met two childhood friends yesterday and we went to the botanical gardens. Excellent visit.
I really want to clean house, but have other things to do first. I am writing this blog post just to get some of my head clear. I love cleaning house. I love to cook, too, but leave it to others for now.
The family went to West Side Market yesterday.
Our new pastor will probably get here in a month or less and this means I have a new boss! I can hardly wait for this fresh start and to see what is in store-- God has plans.
I really need to get to an OA meeting and may just do a phone meeting since I don't know if I can get to one tonight.
Need to do our laundry today.
Need more airport runs.
March and April is a big deal because once May gets here, the Outside calls me, big time.
I have to teach tomorrow.
I really want to clean the house, get a new muffler and oil change, buy some clothes and work in the studio.
Okay, that is enough.
Happy Monday.
