Hi,

How are things?

I bought shoes yesterday. It was a big deal to go across the county for what I need. The look ok but not spectacular and I can wear them to work.

Our roofers are done. We are waiting for a final test and then the inspection. We need new gutters now because they had to tear out the old ones.

I hope that I sleep one of these days.

Take care. I hope that you are having good weekends.

Hi all

Not sure what is up with me.

I've had the worse weekend for health.

But today is better. I just haven't felt well.

So I haven't ventured out much. I hate that, because
I had plans to take Derrick to town and get his hair
cut. Hopefully tomorrow when he and his provider go to
town they can do that too.

Ugh, Its just not good, when I don't feel like it.

getting ready to have a new friend over to join jeff and I for art walk. It is hot out side so I don't know if it will be crowded or not. I saw a lady today for work, don't know if she liked me or not will see if she calls me back. oh well.

I start my internship on Monday. They are going to pick me up because I am petrified of the metro because it breaks down and the thought of that is daunting and the people oh I can't handle people. So I went for a run and decided that today was the day to try riding the metro. I was overwhelmed with anxiety but God and Trip carried me. Trip did so well, he didn't care for the turnstile, the noise the train made on the tracks or the feeling he got when the train sped up but he got past all of that and took real good care of me. I was shaking like a leaf and just loved on me and let me love on him with pets and hugs. We only went one stop and turned around and rode the train home. That was enough for the first time. We stopped on the way home and picked up a ribeye to grill to celebrate. I took him for a swim and had dinner. He is resting and I am relaxing.

Friday, one year to the day from my TBI, I refinanced my house to take advantage of the great rates. A month ago I called the bank but I couldn't process the information. The check engine light keeps coming on in my 4Runner (I love that car) and it is a 99 with 203k miles and I think I am going to buy a brand new car. I of all people am going to get a black Prius V. Remarkably, it has the same amount of space inside AS MY 4Runner. I am not spending money frivousley like I have previously. There really is nothing I need and that feels so good.

Friday I also submitted the forms to get my medical evaluation board started, that is acceptance.

Tomorrow, I am laying low and prepping for my first day of my internship with the National Park Service.

Have a good weekend.

Hilary

Dear Hilary,

Good job for taking a practice run on the Metro with Trip.
I hope Sunday goes well for you.
Yes, acceptance helps.

Good luck Monday.

I have been destashing, trashing and trying to get things done at home. Local Bazzar this weekend, but did not go. DS told me the 25 cent tickets are now 50Cents....The sausage and peper sandwhich was $7.00. Saving for our trip, and I just do not want to mingle in crowds or see people from the past.

Our 20th anniversary is Wed, so trying to think of something special. Actually 34 counting the dating years. I was 23 when we first started dating, well turning 23. Now I will turning 58 and dh 65.

Did not want a big party, but put the money towards the cruise in three weeks. THree weeks today we leave NY headed to Bermuda.

As I am decluttering, doing the wash, and starting the ironing for the trip. Everything is hanging on hangers in the laundry room.

Tomorrow I have three claim left from last week, not busy at all. Sometimes 1 claim in two weeks. But, I hate to see Sunday end.

Have a great week everyone.

I think saving for the cruise is a great idea. Maybe just a coupon for treat for hubby to be used at an undetermined time...know what I mean?
