I'm so sick of being depressed about winter, I decided to focus on the positive.
The weather here is fabulous right now. It's 57 degrees and sunny, and it's going to reach the mid-sixties today.
I am turning off all the heaters in the house today, and hopefully I will only have to turn them back on randomly until it's warm for the season.
We got AWESOME news when we had our taxes prepared yesterday. Last year, we were freaking robbed by Uncle Sam. This year, he is a lot kinder. This is the biggest refund we have ever had.
That refund means that Mr. Vagabond will get his Jeep back on the road, which also means that I can look for work in a much larger area because we'll soon be back to a 2-car family. We will be able to get me a new washer & dryer which means it won't take four cycles to dry a load of clothes. We will also be able to finish the kitchen floor--Yay!! No more painted plywood!
My younger son is still doing great in college, and making straight As. My older son has decided that Knoxville really will offer him more opportunities than where he is, and so he has decided to move back this summer when his lease is up. Seth will remain far away from me for school, but Daniel is coming home!!!!!!
My parents are in great health. Daddy is finally recovered from the year-long bout with issues from his anesthesia from his hip replacement, and mom is chirping lately like a happy little bird. Daddy still has early sings of Alzheimer's, but for now he's having a lot of good days--good enough to go to his garden and work all day.
Life is good. What's good in your life today?
