Sunny Sunday

I am looking out the window as I type. A slight breeze, blue skies, morning glories in bloom and things are green from yesterdays rain. The temps only at 67 with a high in the mid 70's. It doesn't get much better than this! I am starting to see a few trees with whispers of red and gold, just a reminder that fall is just around the corner. I love the green and the black tree trunks of winter aren't at the top of my list, but it's just a season and following that is Spring! So OK, I don't live in the moment sometimes, but you do what ya gotta do to get by when you live in Michigan! LOL

We got some new track lighting up in the kitchen.....not sure if I like it or not. I guess I will have to add some task lighting into some specific work areas! But it is better than what I had. My design plan for the kitchen, to upgrade it without spending the big $$$$ is coming together. Now the work looms ahead. The big one is trying to figure out how to raise my one major counter top to the correct height to alleviate some back pain that I get from it being 3-4" to low. No new cabinets in the budget so I will have to reinvent something! LOL I love those kind of challenges.

Some downer news is the thumb isn't getting any better. I thought after over 4 weeks of taking care of the joint, I might see some relief. Last night I left the tape splint off. I had plans of starting to work with it this week. But this morning it still doesn't bend at all the joint is frozen! So without $$$ or insurance to pay for a specialist I had better come up with some ways to write legibly and make my beads without any fine detail work, or learn a new way! It's a bummer, but just another challenge that I will deal with. At least life isn't boring!!

The dogs remain a happy spot in my life. I can see the end of the potty training with Dozer he is getting better each day. Now if I can teach him to keep his stinking tongue in his mouth and not lick me to death! Patience, he is only 13 weeks old! Last night was the first time I saw that Kylee really needed a break from him. She got up off the sofa and headed into our office to lay down in peace and quiet! I remember doing that with my little sister! LOL I think I actually wrote Dear Abby for that one! Siblings can drive you nuts some times!

OK, time to get on with the day. Huggies all around for everyone!
