03-21-22 2 years, 731st blog (yep there was a leap year)
It’s true that the year 2021 was even a day longer than usual. Leap Years are often fun as you get to celebrate your friends who only get a birthday every 4 years. I imagine skipping one along the way was especially sad. Today marks two full years that I have been blogging every day since coming home from the Firm and eventually changing my work life completely. I have more work/life balance than I have had in as long as I can remember. I have never done anything this long, been this committed to an activity. If I keep at it for not much longer it will have outlasted two of my three marriages. I plan to go back and read the blog. So far I have let the spelling mistakes and poor grammar stand. I am afraid if I go read through it I will be too hard on myself. What I will likely actually find is a lot less to judge and much more to love. I will see how much I love and am loved. I have already asked if I can bring my iPad to the hospital and that may b the best time for a review, it will also give me opportunity to process and share while the news is fresh. I am going to try to do a blog in the morning before the surgery and then at the next available time. I don’t think I will miss a day. I suppose this is just a fine reason if I do.
Today was steady and I even was able to take a break with the crew as it was Nikki’s birthday celebration due to her not being here tomorrow on the actual day. The crazy odds of her beer being the one that blew up and made a mess were… Sean created? She doesn’t like cake, seriously, who doesn’t, so we had cheese, crackers and meat. It was a perfect afternoon treat. I ended up working until nearly 7 to get a file done so I can do the related company tomorrow and get ready to send in the year ends. Had a nice call from Jeanne, Rosie’s sister. I haven’t talked to her since her Mom, my Auntie Ollie died so we had a nice catch up and as always she and her sister Donna just want to know what they can do for me. They are gifted with servant hearts and boy do they. I love them and hope to just have a good visit soon. That is all I need.
I came home and made my last Hello Fresh for this period, which was something I found delicious and will be easy to recreate. Then I sat and worked on my puzzle, it is progressing but soon I will have to clear the table and spread out the full width of 45 inches.
Missy waited until I got home and then I showed her how her door worked again. I am determined to only let her in and out that way until she gets the hang of it. We only have just over a week. She’s smart though, we’ll get it.
