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.

It's Spring, And It's The Weekend!

This is normally the time of year I'd be haunting my gardens measuring the growth of all the spring sprouts. Alas I have no gardens now. When I'm out walking I peek at other people's gardens and long for my own. The weather has been pretty good. Then today it was flurrying, ugh. Was looking forward to a bonfire at S & Ds last weekend then the wind picked up and it rained. They had already moved all their chairs and whatnot outside. So there we were, hauling it all back into the shop to sit by the woodstove. Oh well, maybe we can have a bonfire this weekend.

Mr. Man is confident he will have the bike on the road by May 24. I'm not so sure. I'll believe it when I see it. He'll be working on it again this weekend. I can't really say what kind of progress he's making. I hate seeing him tear it apart so I tend to tune it out. As far as him knowing what he's doing, my confidence waivers. He's never let me down before. I look forward to riding again this year more than ever. Life is too short to have a beautiful bike just sitting there not being used.

I've gained a ton of wieght! I couldn't even fit into my fat jeans the other day. It's a combination of things causing the wieght gain I think. When we had the dog I was out walking several times a day. Now not so much. Being off the narcotics I seem to have gained more of an appetite and am eating more. After not being able to fit into my fat jeans I decided it was time to pull up. I'm more conscious of how much I eat and am trying to get out for a walk every day. All that I can fit into right now are velour pants. Mr. Man said "no velour allowed on the bike!" LOL Also we ran out of sweetener and I started using sugar in my coffee, I'm back to using sweetener. It happened over 6 months, since the dog died in October. But it seems like it happened over night. So I guess it'll take a while to lose it too. I'm going to lose the wieght as quickly as possible. I wasn't meant to be a fat chick.

Our lease is up next month. I've been waiting for this. So I'm perusing the paper daily for a new place. I need a house. I need a dishwasher. I need gardens. Haven't found anything yet. Mr. Man doesn't want to move again. He is enjoying having no grass to cut or snow to shovel. Plus he just doesn't want to go through the whole trauma and physical work of moving. His work just moved and that was huge, he still hasn't recovered from that. But I'm sure if I come across the perfect place he'll be happy to move.

I'm kind of enjoying the freedom we have with no dog. But at the same time it really feels like something is missing. I'm torn. Once we do move, I'm not sure if we'll get another dog or not. I'm really torn.

Well, even though it is snowing today, it's just flurries, spring is here. I am really looking forward to a bonfire this weekend and a barbecue next weekend. I'm off for my daily walk. I'm going to the dollar store to see if they have any Hummingbird feeders. They usually do. I'm going to try putting one out on the balcony. I missed the hummers last year. I sold all my feeders before we moved. So have a great day and a gorgeous spring weekend.
