I'm blogging just for you... you know who you are
So, a lot of
things have been going on, it's kind of like the facts of life song...
you take the good, you take the bad.. etc etc. We have been very
blessed lately... but with every blessing seems to come a
disappointment.
We were going to adopt, but can't seem to get
enough debt out of the way to get things going. We were going to buy a
house, but would rather stay renting than risk foreclosure. We were
going to relocate/find another job, but the right opportunities just
haven't come along. We were going to foster parent, but life happened
and we had to postpone. We were going to do the surgery, and again life
happened and it just ain't going to happen right now. It is frustrating
to have all these things start and stop.
So, right now... we
are in limbo in more ways than one. We are looking at a new place with
more room/storage space, if we like it... we are going to move.
Luckily, it won't be a long move, just down the block. If that doesn't
pan out, we are going to be stuck in this duplex with a neighbor I do
not like and trying to figure out where to put/store all of our stuff.
In
just a few days... I have follow-ups and first appointments with my
docs. I'm going to have them check for a couple things. But, I've lost
8 pounds... I don't really see a difference, but I'm feeling better...
except right now because of whatever is in the air that is causing me
to stay awake.
Training for the marathon is going pretty well,
I'm up to walking 5K (3.1 miles) without injuring myself, so far I've
walked about 9 miles this week. I'm going to be doing the local Race
for the Cure on May 10th as a practice for the race I'm doing in July.
After the race in May, I'm thinking of doing one in June as well. We'll
see.
Speaking of June. We'll be out in Illinois the 3rd week
of june, taking pictures at our friend's wedding. I'm looking forward
to heading out there for a couple of reasons. One, it's a friend that
I've known for years that I finally get to meet face to face. Two, the
area where he is getting married has historical meaning. Three, it'll
be good to get away from home.
July will find us in Seattle. And, in August... we will likely be going back to Washington for a cousin's wedding.
On
Monday, I'm going to be going in to get my permit. Hopefully this time
I'll be able to retain the information long enough to pass the written
test. I promised my bro. that I would try and that's what I'm going to
do. I can do this, I will do this. But, keep your fingers crossed
anyway... I hate tests.
Life is good... stressful and a little lonely but good.
