out with the old...

Indeed, Amanda,

Isn't it nice to throw sh*t out? Literally. 10 year old bras: sh*t. A t-shirt (or seven) that once was white but now looks yellow or grey: sh*t. A bag (no joke) of old bills and statements, that I brought with me from my old place because was afraid to throw them to the identity theft wolves (now shredded and in the garbage): sh*t. It is so cleansing to purge. Interestingly enough, I find I do my purging at otherwise already cathartic and transitional times in my life. Old sh*t out with the old attitudes. Yay for cleansing thoughts and actions!

K just left at about 9, and now that I've cleaned up I'm tempted to stay up and enjoy myself a while longer. I do NOT have to report for jury duty, but have lesson plans set to go...so it's tempting. But I also just had a day "off" earlier this week (yeah, right, with a residual migraine and catch-up correcting). Furthermore, I found out today, after cortisone shots, that I have to make some PT appointments for my feet and I'd rather take half days to get that done than take tomorrow...although the weather forecast is torrential rain. (Funny that you expect rain tomorrow too.) Obviously, I can't decide. The Gemini twins are battling. :-) I guess I'll figure it out at 5:30 am. With a bad storm there is a good chance I'll get a barometric pressure triggered migraine anyway, so it's not entirely up to me, I guess.

My visit with K was good. We did have chili, which is again on the menu for the weekend with the boys. K and I did chili, chips, salsa, corn muffins, and brownies for dessert. The menu will be pretty much the same Saturday, but I'm sure we won't be sitting around the table with formal place settings. Rather, the guys will take their chili and beers to the couch and watch the game. It'll be fun just the same.

Thanks for writing tonight. Be in touch when you can. I will do the same. Have a great weekend!

Love, Barb

PS I tried to upload images of my place, but couldn't. K's compliments of how nice and "warm and welcoming" it looked reminded me to take pics and share. Unfortunately, it keeps failing. I'll do it another time. Promise!
