My happiest moment today:

Posted on December 3, 2013 by zalexander

I’m backtracking and making sure the hat I catch all my day. This is for Sunday

Happiest moment was getting home.

Everything is been swirling around me and as I’ve seen how hope can turn into face and reality I need to start moving. My intuition hit me on Saturday that I needed to embrace and enjoy what is new.

And so I loaded up the car and checked out new exciting possibilities. Within 28 hours it was a road trip that accomplished everything I needed. (Every queen needs a pink palace.).

Henry came along to drive. And without him none of this would’ve been possible. Spending that time in the car with him I really got to understand is – is a really sweet spirit. And a road warrior, easy to travel with. Hmm.

My happiest moment today:

Posted on November 29, 2013 by zalexander

It was definitely the thanksgiving dinner event in Santa Monica. Not the food at Shutters, which is amazing – turkey, yams, squash soup with pumpkin, cranberries and stuffing, but the night. Oh, and it’s the first year adam ate turkey and not chicken nuggets too.

Adam woke up tired and not himself so the morning was truly not good. But he slept for 3.5 hours and was rested and ready for the beach. We saw the sunset and played in the sand burying his turtle eggs and crashing his plane into the sand. At dinner he was ok ( he’s usually really good ) bit no complaints. In fact, several families said he was a good boy. The Coast restaurant had little playdoh packages and we played with that. I made snails in honor of Turbo and Adam loved it.

After dinner we walked the boardwalk. We found swings and he had 20 minuets of that. Some monkey bars and climbing too. But the conversation was good. We heard the surf and talked about the waves. He told me I was his favorite and that his family is his friends. It was very sweet.

We drive home content and ready for bed. A happy Thanksgiving to be sure.

Hope showed up with a little bit more than I expected. Helping people live better is a good thing.

More later but time to scurry.

I showered in the new bathroom this morning for the first time. It was good pressure and I can say “finally” it’s done. (Minus some trim and the threshold)

I also moved in my toiletries and filled the medicine cabinet. It’s my bathroom. Nice.

Towel bars up, TP holder standing up, shower curtains up, soap and shampoo in the shower. Towels up, windows frosted (cause the neighbors can see in from their kitchen door) , teach can is in and tomorrow morning I’ll shower for the first time.

Whirlwind day

Posted on November 23, 2013 by zalexander

Finding it hard to unwind from my whirlwind day. It’s 12:30 AM. My bedspread is drying because it was washed this nothing because AAA peed in my bed because he joins me at 5 AM because it’s a habit because I’m a pushover when he comes in.

I’m also processing some big thoughts.

Confirmation

Posted on November 23, 2013 by zalexander

At 10:58 I wrote a post to record a validation I was looking for. To be honest I ask for confirmations and they usually don’t show.

But today it did. And I almost missed it. It was subtle and when I saw it, it took a moment to register. Now that I’m writing this i recall that I had a choice of 4 magazine to bring and I shuffled through them this morning and debated the holidays issues. Dunno why I decided on this one but here it is. And, I read the other on the flight here. Mmm.

I’ve created the 2nd bath at home. I brought one of the tiles with me because I need to paint the tub and match the paint. The tile was in my pocket and when I wrote my earlier post I was contemplating many things. I found it odd to have the tile and and decided what confirmation/validation/a sign would be based on that.

Well, fast forward . . . I’ve talked with people, wrote another post that I wish I had someone to talk to and started my magazine at dinner. I was so eyeing the light fixtures and then I saw the tiles and thought ” look how on style I am ” and then I saw the tubs. It still didn’t register. I started to flip the page and went back. Then slowly I remembered my post. Then the heading on that page “guest bath”. WHOA!

It’s here – it’s time. More later but hope had officially arrived.

Just putting it out there

It’s a sign if someone talks about 2 baths – that would be validation.

I have no idea what goes through my mind sometimes. At the airport and cannot believe I do this to myself.
