Day 21--Greetings from the Recliner

Dear Rah,

Greetings from the recliner.  I love being able to get up early in the morning, shower, throw on comfy clothes, my somewhat ratty UGG slippers, my coffee, a cat or two, and my computer with the goal of working from home.  I was up at 7:00 and in the chair by 7:30!  I have a grant that needs to go in ASAP, student files to attend to, and a ton of other stuff that needs to be done.  Unfortunately, I only made it through the one grant and a couple of other minor things on my list.  Hence, there is still a lot to do.  I am not gonna beat myself up for what I did not get done, but rather going to focus on what I did!  I actually just finished as I experienced a little bit of writer's block.

Auntie Dawn and I had a little chat this morning.  I feel so very bad for her this time of the year as I know that she scarcely has time to even breath.  Because of her back surgery, many things that are normally pretty easy have been exceedingly difficult for her.  She cannot do what she used to do, and I can only imagine how difficult that must be for her.  It is brutal when we lose something that we once had no matter what that thing is.  Many take their health for granted.  This year has been a tough one and I wish as her big sister that I could just make it all go away. Unfortunately, i have no superpowers, no tiera, and no magic wand that could make anything any better.  Again, I find myself in a place of no words and nothing but ears to listen and loads and loads of love for my baby sister.  Sigh . . .

We should count how many times I write "sigh . . ." as I bet it is A LOT!  I think that is my indicator that I am taking a deep breath and thinking that I wish I had something else to offer.  No words just a deep sigh . . .

Bunky called first thing this morning so I got to chat with him after he got off of work.  He had kind of a crazy night and you know that I kinda love to hear all about NUTTY things.  It reminds me that this world is full of all sorts of crazy.  I told him that he should take some notes, and at the end of his career, he can share the WHOPPERS!  Jesse should do the same thing.

I did a tiny bit of shopping at some point as I had some last minute things that needed to be done.  When I looked at my calendar this morning and realized that I only had a week, I kinda freaked out a little bit!  Ok . . . A LOT!  I hit the send button as I know that I am probably not going to make it anywhere to get much else.  

I feel as though I do not have anything too inspirational to write tonight.  And in fact, my work writing brain has killed my creativity.  So I think that I will just share this video of cats because I laughed at it!



No pressure, but you need to be the inspiration for tonight . . . I've got nothing!!!!



I love you tons and tons!
