A quick hello

Hello all. Just letting you know I am thinking about you all.  We are leaving wednesday to the farm it will be a 10 hour road trip.  So I am alive and well and missing blogland.  take care, talk soon.

sept 25, My Brightest Day!

What a beautiful sunrise  to start a perfect day. I  sit  on the bench and marvel  in the beauty  that for me is on display!  I wonder did it wait for me to make it My Very Best Day.  Did God know I would enjoy this gift sent from up above, a moment to cherish, my heart filled with love.  As the sun gets higher in the sky , the red is almost gone. The warmth is wrapped around me holding me so tight. I feel so alive and blessed, and I will be back tonight when slowly the day fades into night ,  I will sit and watch in my same place, but look the other way and maybe I will reflect on all the thinghs I was able to do on my 46th Birthday!  Life is all about how we look at things. I see beauty, love and life.

Live In The Moment!

I just love this picture. Bright colors make me feel so alive. The weather here today was 31 degrees celcius, It was just beautiful, just like a hot summer day, I went out to water the remaining flowers in my beds knowing that soon there could be a layer of snow like a blanket covering them, but for now, some are continuing to last as long as they can until they come again in spring! It really has been a good summer. On Friday I turn 46 years old, This really is a wonderful time of my life! I am so grateful that I know who I am and truly like myself, although every day is a new opportunity to learn something more! I pause and sit back and think, how did this happen! And the only thing I can say is that when my father passed away earlier in this year, I decided that every moment is not one to be wasted, that every  moment and day is another gift, and that no matter what obstacles that I meet, that I can get through them and face them head on! Oh if only I knew at 20 what I know now,,,but I am sure at 92 I will say, if only I knew at 46 what I know now.....Life is great, I am gonna leap over the fence one day! For now I will just go around knowing that both sides are just as green. It is going to be my Very, very Best Day.
P.S When I turn 50 I want to skydive, my niece keeps saying no, if you have a spell you won't be able to pull the cord...so Kels if your reading this you have to go with me. Yes you read that right!

How R U Feeling?

Well it was one of those days where I needed to do a lot of  thinking about where my life is headed. I know the whole world is right out there for the taking, I sat on the bench overlooking part of the city, seeing the water far below. All the leaves were changing, the grass was all dying with our heat being in the low 30s. I was feeling wore out from the heat today, My husband had gone back to work today, and I really enjoyed my alone time. Is that bad? He had a tooth abscess and had it pulled. He came home looking like a chipmunk on the one side of his face. I tried to be very sympathetic to him, He was in bed at 735 tonight. After sitting here for awhile, my friend took me back home and we laughed about life. living in the present, and forgetting what will happen tomorrow.! Later I found out why I was feeling so strange today, I have a stomach flu and am down for the count. I am truly a vision of lovliness, picture me with my reading glasses on, a box of kleenex, some gingerale, my big bathrobe, fuzzy slippers, hair in every direction. I hope I don't have to answer the door! If you did not read Hollys post from Your mother Knows best but wont tell you from yesterday. Just click on her site on my blog list. You will laugh at how funny life can be at times, and how we all have different things that are important to us...It sure is not my eyelashes. I think a fever has kicked in, so good night and if I am not around tomorrow, you know why! Be well my friends, Back Soon!

Five Pigeons on My Roof.

Well a strange morning for me today, All my followers have disappeared and I am left with only five frumpy pigeons sitting on my roof! Every once in a while I seem to have issues with blogger..not being abloe to post, or can't comment or don't get comments but on previous post people are saying they are trying to comment, but now to have my followers gone is like something is just wrong...as if the lights are out here in blogland today...okay maybe I am being overdramatic, not! Hopefully I can get it fixed as I always liked to see your pretty faces, and it means alot to me that someone would actually read my little ole blog. So I hope Blogger can get this fixed for me. Have any of you had a similar problem? An update, the doctors appointment went well, tired after but alls good. So in closing I just want to say to my followers...."I keep my friends as misers do their treasure, because, of all things granted us by wisdom, none is greater or better than friendship." by Pietro Arelino.

First Day of Fall!

Monday is the first day of Fall. Anyone who has visited my blog will learn that I am a nature loving girl (middle aged woman). I may have posted this photo before, but I just had to again as it is my favorite photo I have ever taken. Now there has been a little color enhancement going on, but thats okay, the more color the better as far as I am concerned. This path is in Canmore, just outside of Banff in Canada. Canmore is home to many artists, painters, photographers, etc. You only have to be there once to understand the attraction of tourists from all over the world. In the winter months, it is heaven for skiers and skidooers, dogsledding etc. In the fall for me it is the closest I could ever get to feeling like I had been dropped into God's country. At the end of the trail, you emerge from the trees to be met by the river, mountains and an old bridge. Hiking beyond this point is not recommended due to the bears that have been known to venture down from the mountains. If one lives in the city and has not experienced the open sky and vast distance that goes to infinity, one has not experienced a great thing that the wild has to offer. The wild as we once knew it is becoming more and more inhabited with less and less wild life to be found. One late evening in Northern Alberta I counted 27 moose, If you have never seen one up close you would be amazed at the size. Let alone 27 all in one evening. That was a moment I will never forget. In spring and fall you are more likely to see the wildlife. So this year we have not been able to get away, but when I look at this picture I remember many moments spent on this trail! I think I am going to go for a walk now. Remember beauty is in the eye of the beholder, there are lots of beautiful places in the city as well. Take care my friends. Have a great Monday, I am posting this early as I have a doctors appointment and will most likely played out from that. Have your best day!

Simple Beauty!

Morning, a beautiful sunny day, a gorgeous setting, the sound of the running river,the smell of the fresh air, the work of a photographer, laughter of a family walking by, the innocense of the children jumping about laughing with excitement, mom and dad not too far behind, two young men with cameras in hand heading west further down the river, an elderly man walking slowly down the steep slope, steadily one foot in front of the other, he sits on the closest bench to the water and pulls out a bag of bread crumbs, he tenderly throws them at the seagulls sitting at the waters edge, one by one the crumbs are thrown and the birds fight claiming their prize. He smiles and rests feeling the warmth hitting his aching bones, hands bent and knarled probably with arthritis. he notices us and nods his head, saying an unspoken hello, we speak, good morning lovely day, beautiful he responds, we pass him, I look back and he waves, we went and sat in this area where the lady was taking pictures and writing engrossed in obviously completeing some paper I am assuming for a class. I smiled knowing that I with my little red camera had taken a picture of a much more experienced photographer. I wondered who she was, kind to take our picture, mysterious in her mannerisms, we sat on the bench facing the water, my husbands arm resting on my shoulders, I laid my head back on his arm, felt the glorious rays beaming on my face, no words needed be spoken, everything understood, nothing questioned, the steady click of her camera, she smiled, said goodbye and left, Shortly there after we got up to leave, my cane in hand to steady myself, we slowly went back up the slope, making our way to the vehicle, my husband with his strong hand firmly upon my back supporting me and making it easier to climb the slope. He unlocked the door with his key and opened it, helping me into the vehicle, knowing that I was tired from our little adventure, knowing that I would soon be fast asleep, knowing that the outing had done wonders for me, knowing that I felt alive and loved. We both smiled at one another, both sure we would soon come back! We headed for home! It was my best day!

water features and tears.

Good Morning, This is a shot I took the other day while we had ventured out to have a look at one of the parks. I always love a water feature because of the sound of running water is so relaxing, if I could have gotten closer it would have been beautiful because of the spray that floats with the wind and lays on your face to cool you off even for a moment. The other thing I saw from this picture is how tumoltuous life can be. Sometime we hold all things inside and then blow our stacks like a water fountain. Now its not a pretty thing is it! Tonight talking to my Mom, ny feelings since my father died just poured out, I had been strong for everybody, being there, helping, guiding, listening, calling everyone and tonight just out of the blue I started to cry with my mom. She said to me you have been so strong through all of this, the strongest of us all. I said tonight I sound like a baby, I said not only am I sad, but I am angry too! Apparently it is all part of the greiving process. She said she had a good cry in the morning, then we eventually got to laughing. We finished our phone call on a positive note, after the call I thought where did all that come from? And I felt a weight lift from my shoulders. I can usually keep pretty positive, but occassionally you have a day that really knocks you on your butt, that was today! I look at the photo tonight and know Dad would be glad I phone mom every morning and night, he would love the spot we found, He always talked about when he got older he would like to do some fishing! Maybe he is, It's all good and I am okay! Maybe it will rain and there will be a rainbow! With life, we just have to wait a moment to be reminded of all our blessings!With that as my final thought, When I awake in the morning it really will be my best day! There is no other option!

Our Goose Was Almost Cooked!

It was another beautiful day, I awoke with little energy but my husband insisted we go for a drive. We went to one of the parks down by the river. It was the best thing we could have done. Just being there briefly was like getting out of the city and into the wilderness where really my heart lies. I stood watching the birds in the water, feeling the warmth on my back and very happy to be able to do this, even though it was for a brief period of time. My husband and I sat on a bench and were surprised by all the photographers that were out taking pictures. It seems many of us had the same idea. We left and went to another park not very far away and talk about entertaining!

There was a water fountain and a bunch of Canada Geese, my friend Holly told me they are not Canadian geese which is correct. I wonder how many of us Canadians know that!Anyway these two geese must have thought to themselves,,,hey they look like they must have some food. I kid you not they started running towards us just staying far enough away to ensure their safety. We did not have any food, I don't believe in feeding them although they seemed quite tame. We left them and went and found a bench for me to sit on. Once sitting down I honked a couple of times like a goose, and they came running again. I got this wonderful closeup of the pair, and then they gandered away! It was so peaceful, I could have stayed all day but the heat was at the warmest part of the day, and I knew soon I would need a nap. We decided to leave and low and behold the geese were following us, just about all the way to the truck. I was so glad when they turned around and were safe from the road.
As we were leaving the park I spied this beautiful statue and we had to stop and take another picture! In a way it brought some peace to my mind, thinking of a mothers loss earlier in the day. Somehow I feel that it was a sign that life continues and all is good with the world. I knew I was tired so we had to leave. Todays outing is that there is so much in our own cities that we have not seen! We just have to take the time to look and really feel alive. Be well my friends!

Who's House!

Here is one of the homes we walked by the other day when we were out and about in our fair city. I love this home. I find it so warm and welcoming and it just reminds me of a storybook house. I like the older areas of the city and I often find myself imagining life behind the closed doors. Just like the surface of our homes, so to do we disquise whats inside ourselves sometimes at least.Sometimes like layers of paint on an old door, we can reflect on the layers of our lives. We are all unique and individual, when my friend was here we were sitting outside and out of the blue she said, "Who the hell in thier right mind would paint the door that color?" I left that h word in there because this was a quote! I looked at her and I said, that would be me." I had a good laugh over this! A home is what you make it, in my home I do whatever I want, no current styles dictate my likes or dislikes. I get more from a feeling! Anyway what would this house look like if I owned it! Maybe I will dream it tonight, as I am on my way to a fairytale fast asleep....Before I go, it is
Wishful Wednesday
I hope you enjoy your morning, I hope you see the beauty all around you, I hope you know how lucky we are all to be alive, I hope you can show kindness to someone in a worse situation than yourself, I hope you can make someones day less lonely! It is in the little things that make wishes and dreams come true. Today I wish us the strength to be kind, to turn negatives into positives, to turn hardships of life into living better, to see past failures as not yet successes. I wish you to believe that anything is possible, I wish you all a day filled with peace!
Also in closing I was very saddened by the passing of Patrick Swaze. I wish we can all show the strength and dignity in his life and his death. He will be sadly missed! Whatever you do today, live your life as if it were your very best day!

Out in the Sun

It was a beautiful sunny day out and this was one of my photos that I took today. No matter where we were there were people taking advantage of our beautiful weather. We did a little sightseeing in the morning, we also went for a nice walk with our two dogs. This evening I did some more drawing and am almost finished a project that I started about 2 months ago. It will be nice to get it finished. I feel like I have not been staying in touch with everyone, I have not been on the computer as much because of Wain being home this week. I will be back on track soon. If you can get outside, read a good book, take in some rays, it feels like summer again! And that makes for a very happy day.

Monday, Monday

This picture is one I found off of freefoto.com. It is amazing some of the beautiful places we can find in ones backyard. That is what I wanted to do yesterday, go and search for sites in my city, However I was not having a great day so I really took it easy, managed to do a bunch of drawing and sat back and relaxed. But this is still my wish for the week. Today is supposed to be another beautiful day, My husband does not go back to work for another ten days! I am just so glad for him being at home so we can spend some time together....note to self, I probably will be glad when he goes back to work. note to self, that's enough Cinner. One thing I do know is that we could never work together! We think differently, one of us must be right sided brain and the other has to be left sided....does not mean I don't love him...just some space is good. I also want to make an eye exam for both of us this week. I need a new pair of glasses badly, how do I know this, I can no longer read the newspaper. Just the cheap reading glasses can do damage to the eyes, because they don't take into account if someone has an astigmatism or the degree of axis the lense needs to be rotated to be optically correct. So I think I will go to my old workplace and have them made and have a bit of a visit with some of the staff I used to work with. note to self...could all be new employees by now. Also I am making a
Thankful list.....
1. for my husband, family, friends, pets
2. for the beautiful weather
3. for the color of the leaves changing, falling, covering the ground like a warm coat.
4. being able to spend time with my husband
5. for keeping me strong in my mind to face anything,
6. for being comfortable in my own skin
7. For loving a simple life
8. For valuing every precious moment and learning to waste none of it.
Hopefully I have more exciting news tomorrow for you, today I got lost for hours while I was drawing, I just lose all sense of time and find it very relaxing! So I hope everyone has a great start to a new week. I really am going to have my best day...note to self, smile and the world smiles with you. Until Tuesday Be Well.

Weather, sleep, sunny and Busy!

This is at one of the lakes that is maybe one and a half hours away from where I live. It is going to be so packed today. We are having some amazing weather. Our outside pool had closed after the long weekend but they have reopened for the weekend and possibly next week. Lots of times we can have better weather in September than we do in August. I love Fall, actually every season I go into I love it, the only one I am not particular fond of is winter and that is only due to having to be more careful with my cataplexy and I have what is known as SAD, which is seasonal affective disorder, I need me some sun! I think everyone feels better when it is a sunny day versus a cloudy or rainy day. That is how I am. Yesterday, wain and I went to a 35th anniversary celebration. They are really good friends of ours. We had a great time, went at noon and home by 3 as I am only good for about 3 hours. So the visit was short, but it was very nice! Ny friends know how much of an effort I go through to see them! Then in the evening Wain had a Seniors Ball windup, His team came in first, so he went to that and he must of had a good time, let's put it this way he was quite happy when he came home. I could not go as I only make it for one outing a day and I was already a bit uneasy on my feet. So I stayed home, listened to Celtic Thunder on TV, I could watch it over and over, they have such beautiful voices. So that was my weekend, I was sound asleep and all of a sudden the cat ran over me the dogs were chasing her, so voila I am awake in the middle of the night and thought I could get my post done. All 3 pets are fast asleep, so back to bed I go. Plenty of sleep, make Cinner a much nicer person by far. I plan on having a wonderful day tomorrow. We are going to go for a drive, I want to get some photos of a few sites around the city, and then I am going to draw in between nap times. Have a fabulous Sunday, I hope you get to spend it with family, friends, and loved ones. I think it will be My Very Best Day!

Sometimes We Have to Let the Stress Go!

So this is my house with a little picket fence, and this is our truck.
Lately as with so many others we are having a difficult time, not personally, but one thing seems to keep piling up and that is the bills. Today we had our truck fixed, to the tune of 2400...the sad thing is we have purchased extended warranty, but this is considered general wear and tear! So in the last year with insurance, we paid 5200 for a broken waterline, and now 2400 for the truck which is necessary for my husband to get to work and the drive is over an hour to work. So 7600 should have been covered...I have no faith in insurance companies what so ever. I have a slight disability cheque I recieve every month...so for fun tonight when my husband knew I was stressed over money, this is what he came up with...1.IF your a bill collector, better get in line, 2.Sorry we are unable to come to the phone as there is such a pile we can not make it over the top in time to answer. Do not leave your name and number as there is no pen that writes. Thankyou for calling us with such wonderful news. 3. DUE TO limited money, we have decided to go and spend our last remaining money at mcDonalds...note to self ,see if we can get ketchup packages. 4. Then he came up with this one. If they call, we will pretend we have won a cruise, you know the ones that leave a message every day. Meet us at the ship! Anyway it got more and more ridiculous than that....no bill collectors are calling because we are just making it. You see we were a two income family and went to one income. I am not complaining, it is just how it is! So we owe more money, we will deal with it, and really as long as we have each other, our sense of humor, we will make it through the tough times. I have been through lots in my life, maybe oneday I will tell my stories, all I know is not to give up, just keep doing, just keep believing. I used to think one day my ship will come in...Maybe it is here right now, maybe I just can't see it. Does'nt matter...Today is My Best Day, and every day after that I plan to have another!

Prayers and Gratitude.

Eight years ago today, I went off to work as normal, just not feeling quite right, it was one of those mornings when you just feel like crying and having a hard time keeping it together. Anyway my boss sent me home as soon as he saw me, so I thought maybe I was getting the flu or something. Five minutes later I was home. We all know what happened that day. There were no borders that day to hold back the tears! How could have this happened? Last night I sat here wondering what to say, how to put into words what I still feel,what I remember were all the selfless acts, that heros were born and people came together. I remember all the innocent people that died that horrible day! And I have decided this, that we are blessed, that there is more good in the world than bad...All of our faith was tested and I still have to believe!I have to believe in kindness of others, in selfless acts, in all that is good, and continue to pray. I pray for all the men and woman who so courageously give of their lives every day. I admire their strength and determination all for a better world! And that is what I keep in my heart. There are no adequate words to express how I feel. But I appreciate every moment that I have been blessed with, my troubles are not so bad, I have life, and love, I have my faith!

Watching the Fire!

The night was cool,fall is here
I stared at the fire becoming mesmerized
The flames grew higher stopping my chill.
As I gazed at the fire the night grew still,
It's calming effect still makes me surprised.
It was so soothing that I felt embraced,
The crackle and groan and the sparks they flew,
Making colors of red, gold and blue,
I sat there watching, holding the hand of my dearest friend,
My husband and I had no reason to speak, no words need be said,
We sat and shared a magic moment, till the fire went out.
Today was my best day, of this I have no doubt!

Tired Dog Found! , and more!

The Great news is Kula is safe and sound, and right now is sound asleep snoring at my feet. We found him at the city pound and I don't think there was ever a more excited dog when I came around the corner, I just felt this huge sigh of relief. They were just entering him into the system, Needless to say we fixed the back gate, and all shall remain in the yard unless he is going for that word we can't say...walk, Then my senior dog moves with the grace of a gazelle, otherwise his arthritis acts up. I know he must have gone pretty far as he is pretty stiff today. So remember in my post yesterday, I said that would be a great day if I found him...On our way home all of a sudden clunk,clunk, something not right with the front tire. So we make it home, the dog and I are dropped off and off to the garage he goes. They can't get to it until Friday. This is the first day of my husband on holidays. He decides to walk home, which was probably about 10 miles. We had a good chuckle about it and how much he already misses his truck....So tomorrow he will be driving my little pink Hyundai, much to his apparent horror....I just hope it does not cost a lot to fix the truck or he could be driving the pink car all winter...just like everyone else, we are feeling the pinch around here living on a single income...but that is okay because we are still happy, in love and can see the humor in almost anything. So I have decided this, we are out of a truck for a couple days, maybe we can accomplish some things on my to do list. Trust me if that happens, it just possibly could be be My Best Day !Take care. I Hope you Have your very Best Day!

Fall and Runaway Dogs.

Fall is really a beautiful time of the year. The world turns into a new season of beautiful and vibrant colors. More birds are already arriving at the bird feeders, the chickadees are back in full force and my Jack Russell/terrier cross Sparky is running in circles in the yard trying to catch the birds. The other day my sister and I were sitting in the back yard. She had her back to the birds, there had to be about one hundred of them, and poof Sparky went flying by full guns, my sister said, what was that noise...It was the birds as they made flight to safety. So I really am lucky in the sense that I still have wildlife around me. I lived in another area of the city and very seldom did I ever even hear a bird, let alone more than one at a time...so for this I am greatful for the old trees in our neighborhood, and because of this I will try not to complain when I have to clean up about 30 large bags of leaves. There is something to be said to be walking in the leaves and hearing the crunch crunch under your feet, lucky that I am able to hear that sound. Our neighborhood becomes alive, everyone out in their yard and soon will be the sound of leaf blowers, or the sound of my neighbor across the street saying, wait until the end because you will just have to do it again, I like to stay caught up on things and basque out in the sunshine, sit in my chair and rest under my pine tree when I need to. All year round I try to get as much sun as I can because of my sleep disorders, I still lather up with spf sunblock as suggested by my friend Beth. Plus the fresh air in your lungs, I just feel alive! I had a nice quiet day today, my mother in law came over to get some family pictures that I had printed for some relatives they are going to visit. So she stayed and we had a nice visit. All was well until I realized that my dogs had not made a sound for a couple of hours, I went outside about five o'clock and the back gate was open and they were both gone. Sparky came back about an hour later with a bag of McDonalds leftovers and he brought that bag and dropped it to my feet. Oh so proud he was. Needless to say in the garbage it went. We searched the neighborhood and all over the area but my big dog Kula has not returned. I will make some flyers and post them around, call the pound, call the spca. Between you and I, I hope he comes back on his own tonight, he has never been gone this long, and I had brushed him this mornig and I never put his collar back on him...Kula is more than just a dog, he has always been with me when I have had my cataplexy spells, licks my face when I am in a bad one, or just sits beside me when I have them, afterwords I am always so tired that I have to sleep, and there would be my Kula boy laying there making sure that I am okay. Some people with Cataplexy have working dogs and they can alert them to sit before they fall. I hope he is safe! If he shows up or we find him it truly will be my Best Day Ever!

Hello Again!

Hello Everyone, I feel like I have been gone for a week. I had my sister staying and we have had a beautiful weekend together. We did some shopping, talked about everything and nothing, went to a movie with Sandra Bullock...something about steve? I thought it was quite good, just not as fnnny as I was expecting!

Let's Take A Walk!

Having trouble loading picture...imagine a sunset and a person looking out over the water. the sun is going down and this is how I would feel

I could gaze across the water,
from sunup to sunset
I am definately my fathers daughter,
Our love for nature I will never forget.

As I look out as far as the eye can see.
I marvel in the beauty that is surrounding me.
The light upon the water is bouncing back to me.
And for a moment lingers all that I want to be.

This would be a perfect day walking on the shore,
Reflecting on all I have learned, but yet still seeking more.
To breathe the fresh air, and feel the breeze upon my skin.
There is a stronger prescence that is somehow all around.
And because of this, my love of life and a sense of calmness I have found.

Today is my Best Day, so I will stay a little longer
I will sit and basque up this beauty,
As a child of God I somehow sense my duty. to be greatful to God
for what he has given me, I think of my friend Derrick who drowned out at sea,
It is not for me to question, only God knows how very special an angel he would be!

The day is quickly ending, Night will soon be hear.
I must get back to home, with God in my life, there is nothing to fear.
Thankyou for this wonderful day, I will come again.
I ask you just one favor Lord, please keep watch over my friend!

HAVE a wonderful weekend and I will catch up with everyone next week. Try and Have your Best Day!

A little History

I have always had the urge to go to Belgium as my Great Grandparents immigrated from there first to Minnesota and then to Canada. My grandfather was the youngest of nineteen children and in his lifetime he had not met all his brothers and sisters. Some of his family had already married and had their own families. When his Mom and Dad moved to Canada, my Grandpa was just a little boy. They became farmers,my great grandfather, my grandpa, my Dad and now my brother. I don't know much of the facts or even the background, but I have been dabbling in finding out more about the family tree, hence the interest in Belgium. I have always been interested in art and tonight I found this beautiful sculpture. It is beautiful, Something about the eyes that I find very intriquing, almost calling to me! There is so much out there in the world to see, I hope someday I will get to travel and experience other parts of the world. Until then I am very happy and thankful for all my blessings, on one of my Best Days I will experience Belgium. In the meantime I did have a great day, dyed my hair this evening and it turned out great. So now I am a redhead! I have one more day until my sister comes and I am so so excited to see her for a few days. When I awake tommorow I am planning to draw most of the day as I have been working on a project for a friend of mine...I can't say what it is in case she is reading this. So my day will be peaceful, calm, inspiring, perfect. I think it will be My Best Day!

Shhh, He's sleeping!

I awake in the middle of the night, I sit up on the side of my bed, shake off the cobwebs so to speak and I quietly urge my body off the bed so as not to wake my sleeping husband. I tell myself be careful of the board that creaks, and I hear creeeeeeeeeak. I stop, He rolls over in bed, I can see he is still asleep! Good I don't want to wake him when he works in the morning. So I tiptoe out of the room, maybe 8 steps. My computer room is right next to the bedroom. My computer is calling, cinner, cinner, cinner. I turn, I pull our my chair, I touch one key and I hear this, "Are you on that computer again?", I sigh, "Yes I am , sorry I woke you!"
I sit waiting for him to fall back to a deep sleep and then I begin to type. nothing more is heard, just the clicking of the keys, I always turn my volume down at night on the computer, because one night it was on high and blasted him awake in the middle of the night! And what did he mean again....I really limit my time here. What does he want me doing when I can't sleep...maybe for fun tomorrow I will vacumme, he would appreciate me being on the computer in a hurry, would'nt he.
Do your family members think you spend too much time on the computer? I would love to hear your stories. Have a great day!
