My weekend is almost over, if weekend is even the right term for those days off that fall within the week. It’s time to get ready to start my work week all over again tomorrow. I can’t say that these days off have been the best, but I’ve certainly managed to fair through the anniversary of Reiley’s death and came out still on top.

I did spend a good portion of the day on Monday working on edits on one of my children’s stories. I have so much more work to get done on that, it’s unbelievable. I took all the notes from having a couple different people edit it and combined them, thought logically about them and applied what I felt really fit the story; versus not giving a rats butt. All in all, I think I’ve ultimately left myself more work to do; but that is the way of life in writing – there’s always something else that can create a much better and more carefully construed story.

Tuesday was an adventure for myself and Jaden. We traveled to Wheatland and back as my dear friend, Heath, had a funeral to attend himself and needed a bit of help and support. It was a welcomed break away from everything here and a good distraction for the day. My thoughts and prayers are still with all of your family, Heath.

Today has been fairly laid back, so far. I didn’t manage to get anything accomplished this morning that has been gnawing at me on that ever growing to-do list; however, this afternoon did bring about a much needed shopping excursion for groceries and household necessities. Nothing like spending a couple hundred dollars for a few weeks worth of food and such. But, alas, it wasn’t the perfect shopping trip as I still forgot a few things that were needed; but they didn’t make it to my two page shopping list. I guess there’s always a quick trip to the store later.

Tomorrow Jaden has his appointment with the Ear, Nose and Throat specialist and we’ll probably have the discussion about Tubes in his ears for the second time. I’m not exactly looking forward to that whole process, but we’ll get through it. I’d much rather my son be able to hear correctly and not deal with nasty ear infections than the other alternatives…

On the list of to-do’s for tonight – closet reorganization, cleaning house and breaking out the barbecue stuff and grilling steaks. Yum!

I hope everyone has a fantastic week!
