91 days of happiness . . . .

i've been waiting all month for this post and it has absolutely nothing to do with halloween and everything to do with happiness.  this month, my friend les, is FIVE years NED!!!!!!!

if you need this translated, this woman, my personal hero, has fought the monster called melanoma at stage four level and won!   this month of october makes five long, wonderful years with no evidence of disease.

she has fought long and hard for this win and i couldn't be prouder of her.

day 90 . . .

yummy yoga.

lunch with the hens.

shopping for shower presents.

running errands.

low key dinner for wiped out me.

zzzzzzzzz.

rolling down route 89 . . .

my last morning with pooch.  her mom is on her way home.  sigh.  she was fun to play with.

made a run to the meat market for beef stew.  mother nature or not, i'm in the mood for something filling and noodlely and beefy.  moo.

finally sat down and paid the dreaded bills and balanced the checkbook.  yup, i still demand my check book balance.  sometimes it listens, some times it doesn't.  but it's been off  by the same amount for so long now, i count it as my slush fund.  good thing it's in my favor.  happiness.

88 . . .

dez and i had to romp in the rain today.  it was good.  made for quite the slip-sliding while playing frisbee.  she happily stayed out until she had done what dogs do and rumbled back inside.

her playmates are a little aggrieved to not having their mama but she will be home tomorrow.  YAY. happiness all around.

now dez is terrified of thunder, not rain as evidenced above, just the boomers.  kidlet packed up her crocheting and headed across the street to keep the beastie company.  gotta love my kidlet's big heart.

i'd don't know what's wrong with me lately, i caught some cleaning bug.  yesterday i vacuumed the entire fireplace floor to second floor ceiling.  scrubbed the hearth, and dusted everything within sight. it's all ready the second mother nature says, "FREEZE"!

today my tub and i had a come to jesus meeting.  along with the toilet.  they are now sparkling. the rest will be finished tomorrow.  then comes the twelve foot desk area in the loft.  it's been buried and i have projects i want to do.

i don't know what the prompt is but i like it.  happiness.

87 . . .

much betterer.  i can see.  still a little light and sound sensitivity . . . i just count that as creative sensory exhales.  snort.

lunch with nancy today and my blessed sammie.  took desmond out for some play time and crunchies.  she really is a lovely little doggie. her mommy comes home day after tomorrow.  lucky little beasties.

kidlet is making me dinner tonight.  pancakes and bacon.  slurp!

life is good.

86 it in the can . . .

sorry i'm a day late.  got and there went my vision.  ugh.  but!!!  i've had worse and it's mostly better today.

signed up for a class on Lightroom.  cannot wait.  that starts november 3.  i will be able to share much better photos.  happy. happy.

85 days down . . .

i can always tell when i have been around my friend robin.  i start to eat healthier.  craving more hummus and pita, lots of fresh veggies, roasting a chicken again tonight. love it when it is stuffed with whole garlic bulbs and lemons.  granola and greek yogurt is now a staple.  slurp.

did a load of darks and wondered why i smelled smoke.  i need a keeper.  love the smell of wood smoke.

kidlet is at work so i can sneak around and get things cleaned up.  for some reason, i hate to clean when someone else is in the house.  imagine how spotless the cave would be if kidlet moved to her own digs.  naw . . . it doesn't work that way.  i will forever be a dust collector.  and i would miss kidlet.

so what's better than a list of things that make you happy.  NOTHING.

p.s.  dizzy came over today to visit and immediately sneezed a great dog sneeze all over pip who looked at me like WTF, mom?!?!?!?
