I am simply loving this warm front this fall. I hope it stays like this all year long. I do not long for winter. I do not long for the cold, harsh, wind that will freeze my cheeks and nose.. I do not long for sinus infections and depression and snow. I long for the hot, breezy, days like today. Days that make me actually feel thankful for the things and people I have in my life right now. Also, days like today.. just make me thankful to be alive. And lets face it folks, I am not as thankful for my life as I should be.
I am actually getting over a sinus infection as I type this. I was completely miserable last week.. and this weekend. I still woke up every day and went to work because let's face it, I need the money. I am still pretty nasal and tired, but I am not as achy as before. It's on its way out, just probably a few more days and I will be back to 100% again.
Dan brought me soup over the weekend. :D I thought that was such a sweet idea. I was not feeling well at all, and seeing him definitely made me feel better. Plus, the soup was quite tasty and it always does the body good. If I didn't say it enough before... Thank you again! :)
What else can I report upon? I saw my awesome ladies this weekend. Clarissa, Sara, and Emily. Sara and Emily both live out of state now, so anytime they are in town.. I tend to monopolize them... tell everyone else I am quite on the busy side. I have known these ladies for most of my life, and I plan on knowing them for the rest of it. That's why its wonderful to see them, even if its only for a few hours at the very least. Sara is engaged and planning out her lovely May wedding sometime in 2012 I want to say. Sometimes I forget, because I'm like that. I'm very excited to be a part of the wedding party.. and of course excited for her as well. I like seeing my friends happy, because in this life... every happiness no matter how small or how big counts for something.
I am a deli girl now. That's right, chuckle if you will. This college grad serves the masses with slices of tasty meat and cheese, cut and ground to your liking. So, stop by and visit me every once in awhile, familiar faces will probably make the day go by that much faster.
I also volunteer for The Buddy Foundation. I love it. :) I am currently working with the most adorable cats/kitties at this no kill animal shelter. I play with them, and socialize them so they interact better with humans, and have a better chance of going home with a nice family.
Here are my fave babies: pictured on top: Squash, then Maverick, and last, but certainly not least.. my little girl Simone. :) I love them all, and wish I could take them home with me. But, alas... I cannot. :(
Whenever I get my life together and move out of my childhood home, I will have pets. Probably dogs and cats. Hopefully.
I guess that's all I have to say for now. I work, I apply to jobs, I volunteer, and I spend time with my family, friends, and boyfriend who all mean so much to me. Life is getting better day by day. I don't know how I am going to handle the year anniversary of my Dad's death this month. But, we all know I'll probably blog about that experience later.
Right now, I'm trying to stay happy. A battle well worth fighting for.
