Everything brought me joy today.
First, I took my dog (Kelly) to Pet Smart. Bought her a doggie seatbelt harness. It is the best one I have found, really padded and comfortable for her. We stayed at Pet Smart about an hour and a half. She met many dog friends and human friends. From there, I stopped at Arby's and bought her two Arby's roast beef sandwiches at the drive-thru. Pulled over in a parking space at Arby's, left the air conditioner on wide open while she feasted on her roast beef and drank ice water out of a dish I brought along. Then we went to a park, really nice one. Kelly has not been to that one so everything was so interesting to her. We left and shopped around looking at houses. I want something bigger. There was one in a very nice, quiet neighborhood with a great backyard and plenty of shade. I called and the realtor lived right across the street so he came over and we went inside. I really like the stone floors throughout. The only carpet is located in the bedrooms. In fact, I like everything about it. I really had my mind made up on a brand new one but this one is so spacious, plus the exceptionally grand shady backyard. Kelly made friends with another dog across the back fence. I don't know. I can easily afford the payments but I am not impulsive about things like this. I need to do a whole lot more looking on the weekends. Met a friend for a very late lunch - I love caesar salad with grilled chicken strips. Nice visit with her. We got caught up. She is so easy to be with and makes me laugh a lot. I enjoy being around people like that. I have never met our Diva here at this site but I bet she is like that. Late afternoon today ... I was mowing the lawn, trying to hurry because dark clouds were rolling in. My entire upper body was drenched with sweat. It started raining very hard. I was about to head for the back to house the mower and go indoors. Suddenly I realized how good the rain felt on my sweaty body. I played in the rain today for the first time in ... probably decades. LOL! I cannot descibe how good it felt. I pushed the mower around back and got it out of the rain. Then I opened the back door, Kelly was standing there peering at me as if I had lost my marbles. Then she ran out and played too. Joyful day! The whole day! :) Wait until I start whining about indoor housework tomorrow. I'd rather be outside in the wretched heat digging ditches all day than doing inside work. LOL! |

Finishing painting my bathroom! Well, 'cept for the trim... but it will be done in the morning! Can't handle all this paint stuff around any more!!
I'm glad I cleaned, primed (with an anti-mold agent) and did 2 coats with a premium paint.. the thought of having to do this again any time soon is just too much!! And thank the Goddesses for Purdy brushes!! ARGH... the livingroom and my bedroom need to be done, but, I don't think my joints (have RA and severe osteoarthritis in my shoulders) can take it on (especially ceilings)! I hate not being able to just do this kind of stuff without a way lotta' pain! OK, saving for someone else to do the other rooms. I did this one, the spare room and the kitchen. LOL.. and oh, have I paid for it with the aches and pains. PHOOEY!!! It has taken me forever just for those completed rooms... But I do feel joy at the job I did, looks darn good! Oh, and Liam... my bathroom reminds me of sunflowers!!! |
I got a $165 medication for $67 all because my pharmace gives a AAA discount!!!
Weird huh? |
Random acts of kindness toward me (i.e., a Thank You card I got in the mail today from someone I shared a class with this past spring), listening to music, a telephone call from my dear friend that's in town for the week and being invited to have supper tonight with them and mutual friends! I had a great day today and I'm feeling the joy!

Letting go of the old and outdated, so I can focus on the present and future. Along with focusing on the ones I love and new friends.

my grand niece from Tenn is coming to visit me today!

my 15 year old nephew has a disease which causes polyps in his stomach and intestines that requires surgery every few years to keep him from being in terrible pain. This disease also causes freckle like blotches on his lips. The kids have made fun of him for years. He also has a very low IQ so he doesn't function as many 15 year olds do, more like 8 much of the time.
I am trying to help him build his confidence. He is so afraid of new people speaking to him that he will not go outside and play with the other kids. So I have been working with him a bit every day, getting him to walk a short distance by our pond then back home again. This morning he surprised me with the news that he was ready to walk all the way around this pond, which is nearly a 1/2 mile. I watched as he walked, and cheered him on silently with each step. He made it all the way around the pond and was beaming when he got home! Go Cody!!!! :cheer: |
