Well…we are here. I haven’t been able to write the last couple of days due to the fact that I have been sick! Also, because don’t have a consistent internet signal out here! In fact, I am having to write on “Word” at night, date my material and then copy and paste the material onto my blog when I go to town! So, go with the date I have (((typed )))…not the date it says it was posted!!! This will give you an idea of how often I get into town! The cell phone is worse out here! I haven’t had a cell phone signal for 2 days. I have been cranky as well , only because I don’t want to be here! I love being with my best friend Tim…I just don’t want to be in Alabama! I have noticed that my spirits have been low, but I am tired and I am sick…that definitely contributes!!! I had a long talk with myself today and reminded myself that I have a plan, and in the end it will be fine just hang in there…! I decided to wait on sharing the “talk” for later! For now, just listen and see if you hear what I heard earlier…???
This (((IS))) a test! *wink*
Cooper and I arrived in Auburn Monday late afternoon. Unfortunately the room we will be staying in had not been cleaned out yet! the last roommates belongings were still in the room…not to mention it stunk! So, I bagged up their belongings and began to “set up camp”…! I finished at around 8pm! After making the bed Cooper and I said our prayers and he went to sleep! That night was pretty wretched, actually!!! Unfortunately while cleaning earlier that evening, I discovered mold on the side of the bed frame. Not on the wall or carpet…not even the mattress…just the bed??? It was bizarre!!! Well, I am allergic to mold which I have no doubts is the big contributor as to why I am sick! Cooper sleeps on the bed which is a twin. I made me a palate on the floor to sleep on, which I actually prefer! It makes my back feel better when I sleep on the floor! But on the first night here, I couldn’t take it! The smell was so bad I couldn’t sleep! No-one else could smell it, but I could!!! I have the nose of a blood hound!!! Maybe it was psychological??? Dunno, but I can tell you it was better on the bed that night! When I had cleaned, I stirred up the “funk” and it wasn’t going anywhere!! Tim’s trailer is not heated. We heat our rooms with space heaters that work well because the rooms are small. That night we had to sleep with the door open in order to get the “funk” out of the room…so it was chilly! But I thought to bring my electric blanket so we were just fine! It wasn’t bad at all actually and I was able to sleep after the room aired out a little! I think I fell asleep at about 3am??? Or at least that was the last time I looked at the time. Cooper slept just fine! I also thought to bring our air filter which I placed right above his head! After a night of airing out the room, as well as running the air filter, it was just fine by late morning!
Tuesday Cooper and I an errands…alllllll daaayyy!! We got a ton done and he was such a sport!!! We got into town at around 2pm and got back to the trailer at around 8:00!!! We didn’t STOP!!! It was a long 6 hours of running around, but we had fun! Cooper got ice-cream and a bag of balloons for being so good! Before heading out to the trailer we decided to drop by and visit Tim at work! Tim is a Baker and Cooper loves going to the bakery because he always gets a cupcake or a cookie! Well, on this visit we met 3 female college students who fell in-love with Cooper…uh, and Cooper fell in-love with them! He gave the girls each a balloon from his pockets! He asked if they would blow up the balloons and play with him!!! They DID! It was great! They had a little party at the bakery while waiting on coffee! It was so random and funny, I had to take a pic of the event! No-one likes to wait in line, but on this day…no-one seemed to mind!!! I think every shopping experience should be like this!!! A balloon party should be offered at every register to make the customers happy while waiting in line! Don’t you???
Wednesday was “crud day!” I woke up feeling HORRIBLE , but managed to see the ”Eye-Doc” and get my eyes checked!!!! That is RIGHT!!! I will get my new glasses the 18th of this month! I will be able to see again!!! Baby steps…baby steps…! After my appointment we came straight back to the trailer and I went to bed and I haven’t been out of bed since! Cooper and I did home schooling in bed yesterday and today, which is Thursday!!! Cooper and I ((did)) managed to go into town and get something to eat earlier this evening! He wanted Waffle House, so that is where we went!!! I was so hungry!!! Cooper got a waffle and bacon! I got scrambled eggs with cheese, bacon, hash browns, raison toast and biscuits with gravy!!! Coffee and OJ!!! Hell yeah! I feel much better tonight!!! I am hoping to feel better and better because I have a ton to do!!! I was planning on getting some work done this weekend, since I am feeling better… but it is supposed to SNOW tonight! I mean, REALLY???? Any other cold winter day I would be so excited to see SNOW!!! But why now when I have so much to do??? I just want to get this done and over with, ya know??? I want to be in Atlanta!!! All this because someone screwed me up the butt without lube!!! I am tired of the struggle…
WAIT a minute…brakes on!!! Screeeech! Silence!!! Did you hear that??? I did!!! Re-read those last 7 sntences, and listen …shhhhhhh…! Do you hear what I hear??? I hear a scared little girl who wants it her way or nothing!!! I hear a spoiled child who is whining and not paying attention!!! This is what I see in myself right now after typing those words…
It was at this moment when I stopped…took a breath…and had a talk with myself…! Sometimes we get used to easy, even if we aren’t happy with it! It is easier to be miserable then it is to be happy! It is easy for me right now to bitch about what I don’t have then to make light of what I do have! Well, nothing worth having has ever been “easy”…! Right??? Ok…well from this point on, I am focusing on what I DO have and will publicly say, that I am very thankful! I have a roof over my head and it is very affordable! Being here will enable me to do things that I haven’t been able to do in years and ((wouldn’t)) be able too for many more…otherwise!!! I am so LUCKY that I have a friend who offered me his home to stay in! Cooper and I are very welcomed and loved here! I bought eye-glasses 2 days ago!!! A goal that I set for myself that I achieved! I am on the right path!!! And you know what…it is going to snow tomorrow and that means more to my 5y/o then anything right now, and it should to me too!!! So, tomorrow…sick or not…we are getting in it and we are enjoying a gift from nature not given to us often! Everything else can wait…!!! I am not a victim, because I have made a choice ((not)) to be!!!
Say these words to yourself every once in awhile! It will take the frown off your face as it has mine…
Let it snow…let it snow…let it snow…*smile*
