Rainy days and Mondays...eer.. Tuesdays
Okay I keep falling off the blog wagon. I am trying to climb back on.
I am here in Denver on vacation. I didn't manifest the Friday off but I gave up trying because the plane tickets were too expensive and I just didn't have enough money to go on the retreat either. That's okay, I am going to drive up there and check out the mountain center while I am here anyway. It is chilly and pouring rain today. Good thing I had already made plans to be lazy and not do anything! Slept in, went grocery shopping, ate lunch from Sonic. Watched last nights Heroes season finale and played on the internet. Mary and Ken won't be home until late so I am on my own all day. No big deal, I am enjoying the quiet and rest. A good way to start off a vacation. I should start plannning what I would like to do tomorrow though! Perhaps the mountain center? Perhaps Pike's Peak? Maybe just a drive through the mountains? I have forgotten what else I wanted to do on this trip! I am saving Rocky Mountain National Park for Friday. They are planning on opening the Trail Ridge road on Friday. I have yet to drive across it and I am determined to! It is usually closed when I am here. So keeping my fingers crossed for Friday and an open road.

Got some antibiotics for my sinus infection and they are driving me crazy! So much poop! Got some probiotics to counter the antibiotics but they don't seem to be working as well. Some visualization would be a good idea. I've got to get this stopped. I haven't been able to do much more than work this week and that is no fun.
Mom Mom isn't doing so well. Demensia is the official diagnosis. Pop Pop has finally come to his senses that he can't take care of her so they are starting to find a place that will take them both. He wants to go with her wherever they send her. I am glad. Right now she is in the hospital until medicare kicks in and will pay for someplace to send her. I will be relieved once they are both in an assisted care facility. I think the whole family will.
Trying to get my vacation plans sorted out. It is quickly approaching. I originally wanted to go up Mike's for one last visit before they move back to Alaska. But he is unsure of when they are leaving. Could be today, could be 2 weeks from now. Ugh. So I think I am writing that off my list. Especially since I found super cheap tickets to Denver! I'll go see Mary again! Yay! The first weekend of my vacation, the Shambhala Mounatain Center is having their beginning meditating retreat and I really want to go. Problem is you have to be there by 5:30pm Friday. Right now, that is impossible. But I am trying to manifest Friday off from work. Forget the try, I am manifesting Friday off from work so that I can go. I just need it to happen by this Friday so that I can get the tickets at the cheap price! I really want to go to this retreat weekend! A full immersion in Buddhism. I can't wait! Plus it is in the beautiful rocky mountains that stole my heart. Sigh...this will happen.

I was doing so well there posting again but then it all fell apart. Mike came to town and I got completely sucked into hanging out with him. Then I got sick! The usual allergies into sinus infection. Finally went to the doctors and got antibiotics 2 days ago. They haven't really kicked in yet. I just need a break in the pollen and that would help alot too.
Let's see, where to begin. Mike's visit. Had a great super time as usual when it is just him and I. Talked, laughed, listened to music, watched scary movies. No KC. That was wonderful! Kept having feelings like this would be the last time I would see him for a long time. Bummer. They are moving back to Alaska. They still haven't figured out that it doesn't matter where you live, that isn't what makes you happy. It is just an excuse. He and I went to Harpers Ferry one day and that was the best day. Except like an idiot I ate lunch at McDonalds, just a happy meal cheeseburger, and got sick. Whammo with the colitis. I know better than to eat when I am on a road trip like that! But Mike was really understanding and didn't mind chilling at the mcdonalds for about a half hour longer while I ran to the bathroom multiple times. Harpers Ferry was marvelous. We could have spent all day at the top of the hill in the cemetary. Just like old times. Brought back the story too.
Last year was the year of the weddings, this year is the year of the houses. Jamie and Andy just bought a house, Willow and Greg have put a bid on a house and got but no settlement yet, and Nathan and Jess have put a bid on a house. Madness. While I still live with my parents. Ugh. I have to find a new job that pays more money and get my own place! Question is, should I stick with the original move plans? I have saved up almost $2000 which is amazing for me. I've never saved up this much money before! I am very proud of myself.
Ok, don't want to babble for too long on here tonight. Good night!
