Day 10 - Self Time

"Dear Diary,
It was nice not having any school today, but I didn't get much done." March 1st, 1989

Dear Jennifer,

Yesterday, I woke up. helped my husband with the dogs and headed over to mom and dads.  Dad golfs every Monday so he was off in his Big Red truck that my husband likes to call "Clifford".  It has caught on, the kids call it that now too.

My dad grumbles, "I didn't name my damn truck." (I love him!)

Lady B wearing her motorcycle
goggles. Aaaammazing. 

I was greeted by my parent's very bouncy, very cute, very lovable, Lady B.   She is a King Charles Spaniel and probably the cutest thing I've ever seen in my life.  She makes you happy even when you don't feel like being so.  I walked in and sat in the kitchen chair and lovely Lady B jumped in my lap and loves to lay her head on my face. It's hard to explain she is a weird dog, cute, but weird.

Mom and I went for a walk with Lady B (This is new!).  The fresh air was nice and I always love talking to my mom.  It is very comforting and she has to be the wisest woman I know. When we got home, she handed me two books

"Warrior Goddess Training"

"Warrior Goddess Training Companion Workbook" (New Thing! I'm starting it today!) 

I talked about one of my colleagues at work, how he is a man of great peace.  When you are around he and his girlfriend you just become very calm.  Just two of the most wonderful people. Have you ever met someone and you can't explain why they are so wonderful, but there is just something about them?  Yeah that's where I am at.  I like being around people like that, I like feeling peaceful. I hope I am like that for some people. I am pretty high strung.

After leaving my mother's I went and saw my beautiful best friend and her two kids.  I don't get to see her much as we both are super busy.  We talked politics, we talked religion, and we talked school.  What is great is that she and I don't have the same beliefs, politics, religions, (School we do though!) but we get along beautifully.  We respect each other and we respect that we want the best world out there for everyone around us, mostly our children.  In the end there is just love, right?  I love that I can tell her anything and never worry about being judged, which I shouldn't worry about anyway, but I do. She got to try something new, a hot caramel apple cider spice! I got a 20 dollar gift card for Starbucks from Ibotta (new thing, redeemed that puppy)

My daughter and son found all their town's names changed when they went on the computer. It was hilarious to watch my son just laugh.  He and my daughter have the best laugh.

There is no school this week, and I have tried to focus on not thinking about it at all yesterday, today, and Wednesday. Thursday and Friday is game on.

Thanksgiving is not my favorite holiday.

Damn Arby's.

Until tomorrow...
