Memories, cleaning and reading...
This has been a sad time for me. There have been several deaths back at home. People that I had a lot to do with and people that in some ways shaped my life. They will be miss. I really wanted to fly home for one of them but knew physically that right now I could not have done it. It made me sad. I did hear that the funeral was good and started out with: This is a Celebration of her life. I will miss Audrey. It is sad to think she is gone. She always cheered me on no matter what I was doing. She was what some called the Champion of the Underdog. The short time that we lived at their house while our house was getting repaired from the second fire was wonderful. She would ask about everything we did that day and ask if She and Quig could do something to help us out. I have a lot of memories from that time. And she had us call them grandpa and grandma after that. Quig passed on over 8 years ago. It is hard to believe that she lasted that long after him. They did not think she would. Her medical problems were really bad and even after they took her off them she lived for 6 years after that. She pushed on to keep going even though things were not great. Audrey is someone to always remember.
There have been a few people other people that had some influence in my life. There was even someone from my grade that took his life. In some ways I wish I could have flown home for that, but was in a wedding. Life goes on and the celebration of a new start is also important, even if that change means a small death in other ways.
So enough of the reflection on bad things. I did get some reading finished. I finished Treasure Keeper, Be Still My Vampire, The Stone Rose (Doctor Who) and started Twelve Kingdoms Vol. 3. So I finally got caught up on some reading. It was fun to just sit and read a little bit. Yes I could not do some of the other things that I wanted to, but at least I could read. I'm trying to make sure I take some time for me when I can.
My cleaning has gone down hill and I have not even tired to do the fly lady this last little while. It has been depressing to see the house going down hill so much. I need to push and get it back. It is funny how fast something can go down hill when you just don't take time to take care of it. Christine came yesterday and we worked through a few things to do in the house. I'm happy to have at least that part taken care of. It seems so small some times, but it makes a difference. I have my seasonal closet now. I just need to fill the closet with seasonal stuff now. It will make a difference to have that. Now just to get everything else in there that goes there. Now just to start of the rest of things in the house.
I did get my web site finished. I've only been working on it for 3 plus years now. Yeah well over due, but it is done now. I'm happy with it. No comments about it so far, but then did not expect anything really. I'm just happy with how it turned out. Now to just finish up other projects.
I find it odd that people email me about wanting to be friends on livejournal just because someone else dropped them from their list. Right now I have enough and if I know you it is different rather than if I have no clue who you are other than you were friends with someone else.
I have taken to doing some minor sewing. We shall see how that turns out.
I think that is about it for now. It will be a busy day of sewing and baking. I want to have a nice day for Easter tomorrow. I'm sure that a lot of it will be bad for me cooking but I'm still doing it.
