Coastal Living

Filed under: Home,In the Neighborhood,Seasons,Shop til ya Drop — gardener @ 9:20 am

It’s no secret that I talk to mom on the phone every day and in fact, most days several times a day. We are all planning a trip later this year to places that have yet to be determined but since it’s going to happen during hurricane season, diddy is looking at honda generators and thinking about replacing the one that he’s had since the late 70’s. I think he bought it right before hurricane Fredrick in 1979, so I’d say that he’s gotten his money’s worth out of it, but he said it’s definitely time for something new.

I probably would have replaced it long ago, simply because once a hurricane has hit- there are no generators to be found for a reasonable price. This will also give them peace of mind if they are away and one hits. At least then my brother or someone else in the family can take care of things without having to worry about mechanical issues. Some people think it’s premature- but it’s all part of living in the South.

Relaxation

Filed under: Life — gardener @ 1:10 pm

A little earlier this evening, I received a text from Desere asking if she could stop in for coffee. I’d just finished icing the last of the carrot cake cupcakes and was ready to sit and do nothing- so told her to come on. I brewed two cups for her and poured a huge glass of water for myself. I’d already had several cups of coffee today and the last thing I needed was more if I plan to sleep tonight.

I haven’t seen her in a while, so it was good to sit face-to-face and catch up. Now- I’m tapping out a few lines and then headed to the bath for some relaxation before Marcel gets home. The sunshine has made a definite difference in my mood, and hope it sticks around for a while.

Time to Soar

Probably the highlight of my weekend is the fact that the sun has been shining. I know- something simple, yet something that has made such a huge difference in how I feel. I’m finding myself with more energy, even though I know that I need to start exercising and eating well on a regular basis. I was doing ok- but things took a southerly turn recently. Tomorrow is a new day and I find myself with new-found inspiration and energy. I’m not ready to start swinging from the chandeliers, but I know that every good choice is a step in the right direction. I’ve been getting the rest that I need, now it’s time to start soaring.

Good Things Coming

Filed under: Life,Women — gardener @ 11:37 am

The past little while has been pretty emotional for me, but just as I knew it would- that overwhelming feeling and anxiety has passed. There has been a lot going on, but I really attribute most of it to this peri-menopausal ‘mess’ that I’ve been going through. The more I read about it, the more I realize that there are many of us who go through this- but yet so few of us who talk about it. I’m still trying to understand why that is.

It’s comforting to know that I’m not crazy- I know- that could make you laugh, but trust me- there have been times when I’ve wondered. The weird thing- as soon as I started my period- in spite of the horrible cramps- the fuzziness in my head has disappeared- and as far as I’m concerned it can stay away.

It’s going to be a fairly busy weekend. I have some shopping and cleaning to do tomorrow so that I can get some cooking done on Sunday for a lunch I’m having with friends on Monday. It should be a fun time- plus one of my friends, who is coming from several hours away will be spending the night- so I know that will be fun.

Oh and did I mention that the sun has been shining for the past several days? It has- AND I noticed that the crocus are about to start blooming. I believe good things are coming.
