An update from home!

Been home for almost two weeks now - it's crazy how fast the time flies by. Seems surely I packed in more activities while I was away, but not having to work makes it easier.

Have gotten some of my writing up - I'd like to complete it. For a memory and to share.

Enjoyed getting together with my neighbors for dinner and picture/story sharing. That was lots of fun. They are great neighbors and friends. Also had fun at my friend Karen's place. Enjoyed seeing her and Jeremy and Val. Having a great dinner, shared more pics and stories, and I decided to bake a cherry and strawberry pie! Turned out yummy. Been in the mood to bake. The freedom to cook for myself again!

Today I have off work for Good Friday - I didn't even KNOW it was Easter until this week. Last year over Easter I was out in Washington visiting my friend Dylan, and also my mom and relatives, and my friend Lauren in Canada. Would enjoy another trip out that way - such a beautiful place.

Four solid days of work was a bit of a shocker after being off for a month! Days 1-2 - good. Working on a cool project with good people. Day 3 really felt like work. The pups were noticeably worried too. They'd had me home with lots of attention for a week, and suddenly I was gone again.

Pups and I today are gonna finish dismantling the shed out back. The shed is mostly gone - only the roof is left. Spent parts of 3 days last week doing the big job. Privacy fence is next which the wind helped take down last night.

Trying to use my energy to make good progress. Some things in the pursuit - Spanish classes (a desire - hopefully this summer or else fall), working with my vet neighbor this summer volunteering at her clinic. This sounds like a go. May start as early as next month on my Wednesdays off!

Will likely try my hand playing ultimate frisbee this spring. Gonna sign up - we'll see if I make it onto a team.

Thinking about school and finances - how to make that all work. Taking some steps in that direction.

Was great seeing my brothers out here in Colorado. Rare I get to see and play with both at once! So, that was great :) I have to say I've got great siblings and family :) Smile again.

Looking forward to re-starting dance. My class this week was canceled. Enjoyed a nice run up at HT instead.

OK, pups and I are off to shed work and playing with the horses! Take care :)
