counting blessings

[scotchegg]

have quite a bit to be grateful for.
simon off to the uk safely and without incident. i will be joining him in 4 days - hurrah for a cheap vacation!!!! we finagled on this one and the fates were with us.
Blake here on a surprise break for the tour. he is coming over and will probably crash here. he sounds strong and happy. cant wait to see him.
my mom has been really sick. she is the silent type and let a bladder infection go to her kidneys. she was in the er last week but is as home now resting and healing. its so damn hot down there and she wasnt drinking water, just gardening all day and drinking 'sweet' tea - its a southern thing.
work is getting better. still wish i was busier, but things are falling into place and i have had the opportunity to do some good stuff. i am so pleased about the benefits. as soon as they kick in, its off to the eye doctor for me and to the dentist for Simon.
took a long walk tonight and just grooved on everything. it was bleak about 6 months ago, but we are in damn good shape now. i really feel like we weathered some kind of dark night of the soul. all i know is that the marriage is strong. i am in love and get the butterflies when i see him. this is great after 5 years -almost 3 married. i hope we can keep it going. he seems to be in a better place. it will be good for him to see his mom, but i know that he is thinking alot about his dad.
even though i am 45, tonight i feel 18 -= so much possibility for us, i have a turkey pot pie in the oven. from Trader Joes. god, i love those.
