life is good.
closing date on new house is set. repairs and renovations on the old house are in motion. (i so rock in the whip-cracking department.) bunny passed his final exam for his architect's license. he passed all nine exams the first time! i am married to such a smarty pants.
i'm feeling good and life is good even if my niece the dog died on monday and a client's project had me stressed more than i have been a long time and even though all the communication related areas of life seem to be off-kilter at the moment.
billings are up. life is up. rain is up. it's all up!
yay!
is it sacrilegious to use a joan jett cd as a coaster? i hope not. she could kick my ass with her eyes closed.

rest in peace, little galveston
my niece, the dog, died yesterday. she was somewhere around 15 years old. my brother is very sad and there is nothing i can do to make it better as a big sister should.
galveston, or gal as she was known, was the first and only dog i have ever loved. my mom and i always talked about the way she would tilt her head to one side and look out of her bright eyes and you knew she was listening to you. while she did have really bad doggy breath, she was loving and protective of my brother and he of her. he adopted her from a shelter in san marcos, tx when he lived there on his own for the first time. gal had been an abused puppy and bore the effects of it until her last days. my brother loved her and she was his boon companion. she loved him and worshipped the ground he walked on. they got each other through many difficult times.
we will miss you gally-gal. may you rest in peace and chase all the squirrels you wish in doggie heaven.

rain
it's raining.
thank heavens.
it's been raining a good, steady, soaking rain since about 4:30 this afternoon. no high winds, very little thunder and no hail or tornadoes. it is refreshing and cool and the air smells so green.
*sigh*
*********************
i have committed to participating in the 3 day walk to benefit susan g. komen for the cure in october. 60 miles in three days after meeting my fundraising goal of $3700 dollars. so far, i have walked 4 out of 7 days for the last three weeks and have averaged 12 miles per week. my sore achilles tendon has sidelined me for a couple of days, but i should be back on track tomorrow. my "real" training schedule begins in may. by the end of the 24 weeks training period, i will have walked 63 miles. wow.
********************
next tuesday, bunny is going with me to the boob re-arranging doctor. i have finally made an appointment to discuss reducing the size of "the girls." they are a pain in the neck and i mean that literally. big decision. i hope the insurance company will cover it.
********************
time to go to bed. bunny is sending out his "husband is going to bed" warning. i've had a good day and i am ready to snuggle in and read a little before sleep.
ciao.
thank heavens.

wavering
yesterday, i felt so strong and powerful and good. i was rested and focused and felt i could handle anything thrown my way.
today...not so much. i am tired and distracted. i don't want to do what i need to do in order to pay the bills. i have one client that is constantly arguing with me about my billed hours and i want to shake her and make her stop. it takes the time it takes and it's your problem figuring out how to bill your client, not mine!
*sigh*
i need to get outside and walk. i need the birds to chatter at me and the sun to warm my skin. there's plenty of time to work to pay the bills when life isn't visible through my window and everyone has gone to bed.
two days until my birthday...37 WILL be a very good year!
