Enjoying Nice Weather

I feel better about life in general than I did a week ago.  I came to grips with some of the things that were stressing me out, and I feel more confident in my ability to cope.  It helps that a couple of the things that were stressing me have been dealt with.

The weather has been more summer-like, and I've tried to get out to enjoy it whenever I can.  During the week, that means walking at lunch (which is good for my sanity!) and then hubby and I walk again after dinner.  I've also been out with my camera, enjoying the critters and the flowers.

Daughter raced Friday night but I had to send hubby to watch alone.  I was working a golf-outing fundraiser, and Son was with me.  I hate missing any of my kids' events, and I always worry they will get hurt.  Luckily, Daughter had a safe night even though her car wasn't running great.

Daughter also got a new pet - a cute little hedgehog.  She named him Hoosier.

After stressing over work-related things this week, I took some time for me yesterday.  There are a million and one things I needed to be doing, but I decided my sanity should come first.  I attended my local writers group meeting, watched the Preakness, and then went scrapbooking with a friend.  By the time I got home at 12:30 AM, I was exhausted, but in a good way.

Today was supposed to be another race day, but the track cancelled early due to the threat of rain.  I spent the day working on some of those "million and one" things that needed done, and feel pretty good about the progress I made.  I spent the day sorting and pitching things, cleaned out a closet, and did laundry.  All-in-all, it was a good weekend.

I've been a bad daughter and haven't checked on my parents this week, other than calling my mom on her birthday.  I need to go visit them soon.  We are planning to visit hubby's dad next weekend, to check on him.  I know we need to do it, but I dread it at the same time.  It's so depressing seeing how much worse he is now.

My thoughts and prayers go out to a good friend whose son is leaving for boot camp this weekend.  Be proud, and stay strong!

Here's hoping that everyone is enjoying the nicer weather!
