I'm happily married to Mr. Man. We have 2 daughters, Big R and Little R. I'm a stay at home mom. We moved from the big city to the country, living a dream. I'm a collector and a packrat. I'd rather read a book than watch a movie. I battle depression. I love life, but that wasn't always the case. This is my journal.

TGIF

The weather has been mildish. It was sunny for a couple of days, then it got rainy and foggy. The snow is all melting. It snowed a bit yesterday, but it didn't amount to much. I'm sure we'll get another blast, this can't be the beginning of spring already. It's been so mild I haven't had a fire going for a few days.

Since we can't possibly afford any kind of tropical vacation, I think I should start using up my tanning time. I've had it for 2 years and only gone once. Mr. Man bought me 100 minutes for our anniversary or something. I'm thinking I'm going to go this weekend. This is a long weekend too thankfully. Gotta love Family Day.

Well Little R is back in school and Uncle T has been working with Mr. Man all week. So I've been home alone all week. What do I do to occupy myself? I play euchre online of course lol. I used to be obsessed with online euchre. Then I didn't play at all for the longest time. Now I'm back into it. It's been a couple of weeks that I've been playing again and it is getting old again already.

Here it is 4 in the morning. I've been up since 2 a.m. I don't know if I'm having hot flashes or night sweats or what it is, but I just get so hot I have to get up. Yes I am entering menopause. So I did a little work on my personal site, updating with pictures of T. The whole point of that site was to find him. And it worked! Someone who knows him found my site and told him about it, and that's when he contacted us via Facebook. So it was worth all the effort.

Mr. Man is still talking about moving. In some ways I'd like to move to town. I miss the conveniences of city living. But the one thing I can't wrap my brain around is no more bonfires. Previous to living here we had a cottage at Wasaga Beach. We could go there on weekends and have bonfires. We have since sold the cottage. We have awesome bonfires here. I can't imagine life without bonfires. I'll miss my fireplace too. It isn't set in stone. We will try to stay here. But financially it's just getting to be too much. And the commute for Mr. Man is too much. I imagined growing old here. That's why we picked a place with not a lot of stairs. I didn't imagine giving this place up until I was really too old for it. The thought of leaving breaks my heart. We'll see what happens in the next few months. We may have no choice.

It was Mr. Mans birthday last week. I was going to have people over and stuff. But then some of the people went to Cuba, so that killed that idea. Instead I just baked him a nice cake and actually made dinner. His boss gave him a card with a $100 restaurant card in it, that was mighty generous and a nice surprise. His brother gave him a card with lottery tickets in it. It's hard for me to get to town with no car to actually shop for gifts for him. And now we have Valentines Day tomorrow. Sigh. I could sneak off to town in the morning and get him something. Yeah that's what I think I'll do. It's a Saturday so the car will be here and he can sleep in. Because I really do love him a whole lot. I don't show it as much as I should.

I hope the weather stays mild and we really do get an early spring. One can always hope. I never did hear what the groundhogs had to say. We're running low on firewood, but that 2 bush cords will do us the whole winter. Who am I kidding? I know we'll get blasted again before it's all over. But it's ok, it's almost over. I've kept busy trying not to think about wanting spring. And it's working. I don't feel like I did last year where I just couldn't wait for it.

TGIF. Have a great day.
