Its gotta get better

oh,, I guess I am having one of those days.
I talked to dad this morning. He just isn't doing any better. He sounds so down and not himself. Is it weird for me to say I miss my dad? I do.. I know he is still alive and trying to get better but I miss him. I miss the weekly calls, the sharing of photos, being able to just talk about this or that and knowing that he was there.
Since he has been in the hospital, he hasn't had a computer and he is very weak so talking on the phone is hard. He has a hard time holding the phone to talk.
I guess I am just having one of those days of reflection where I am realizing what dad means to me. I came across one of his emails in my inbox the other day when I was cleaning out my email. I couldn't bring myself to erase it. One of dad's great joys was sending jokes and his photos he had taken. I miss that so much
I just need a good cry. I will be better soon.. I pray that dad will be too.
thanks for listening to my woes,, friends.

A day of solitude

<<< there is Nicky,, the best dog in the whole world!!

I had the whole day to myself to do what I wanted. Usually days like this for me are very unproductive. I get caught up easily in the fact that I have the "whole" day to do with what I want and it usually ends up that I don't do anything but take a lot of naps. Oh brother!

Well, today did kinda start out that way. I made my way to the couch and laid there for a couple of tv shows. I then got the buzz to go check on the ferals down in the shop. This led to over an hour outside shoveling snow and enjoying the horrible weather.

I eventually moved into the house, took a shower, made some breakfast, vacuumed the floors, shampooed the carpets, finished my Christmas cards, made two ads for publish, and then loaded the dishwasher and wiped down all the counters. I finished the day with making a potato soup for dinner.

My day of solitude sure turned into a lot being done. I feel good about it. Lately I have had more energy then normal. I am liking it.

So there you go,, a pretty boring post about the doings of my day. Hope you had a good day folks. The weather here is pretty much a blizzard and all the roads are closed. I like it though.
