it's good to be tired

and by that I mean, when you have gotten lots done, enjoyed it and felt tired after you were done, that's a good feeling.  Yesterday was like that and so was today.  I told Kelly when she left with the boys after supper that I was going to need to blog early or I would be in the same position as last night!

I took the morning off work yesterday to guest at the clinic again.  When I talked to Jen the night before I realised how sick she was feeling, so I stopped by after the gym, took the boys out to the park until it was time t go to the General and had a blast!  There is no better way to start the day than  playing with kids you love!!

My guest spot was very well received again, and they had to tell people to stop asking questions after a half hour, just like last time.  I took along a pair of my big pants too.  I really have no idea if I'm helping any of them long term, but I'm not hurting and there is seemingly genuine applause when I leave.  I was even asked to do a twirl for them!

I also went to Winners yesterday and spent my gift card from the Oxford St Crowes.  I got my first pair of jeans in years, a pair of leggings, and a summer dress to wear with them.  When I got home I tried the leggings and dress on together, with a black sweater, looked in the mirror and thought, "Wow, I'm almost kinda cute!"  I'm gonna wear it tomorrow for our Easter dinner so maybe someone will take a pic for me to post.  Thanks for the Christmas gift guys!!

I had a relaxing morning today, went to the gym at 9 when they opened and then met Kelly and the boys here to move some furniture.  I made the old music room into the spare bedroom and put my new dining table in the first bedroom.  Once I get the finances sorted at the bank and everything settled with the lawyer, I may just take out the wall between the kitchen and dining room and open it right up.  I moved a few things that Bernie still needs to pick up into the shed so it's all ready for him.  I hope eventually to move the work bench up to the shed and get that room in the basement sorted and purged, but that's a project for another tired, satisfied day.

I am truly feeling blessed and much happier than I deserve.  In gratitude, elly
