Beautiful day? Yeah, any day I wake up with my joe is a good day. How soppy that sounds. Almost made me want to hurl but that is how I am. Soppy. LOL Boyfriend #2 used to say I was a soppy thing. Emotional, oh yes, soppy? Yeah.
It can be a beautiful day because of the sunshine, but it is darn deceiving when I walk out that door. It is nipply as a friend would say. The wind off the nearby lake makes it cooler than just a block up the road. Strange, the life near the Great Lakes. The things I learned about those Lakes has been inspiring and confusing.
Off I go in a direction I have no idea where it is going but here we go.....
I didn't know that, and I can't remember the name of it, the water level will go down because the water in Lake Michigan slushed upward and left Chicago a bit low, and then it slushes back (I'm sure there is a technical name for it but who cares, it just slushes.)
Joe, husband #4, and he doesn't care if I use his name, is taking care of business. Not THAT business, well, not really. The sewer at the Parents house is backing up and it is a case of the City not wanting the responsibility so lets take advantage of some elderly folks. That is just MY opinion. Well, phooey on them! My joe found the sewer on a slap next door where the building had burned down. He is there digging it out and is going to try and tie into that one.
I could never have figured that out. This man is so handy. If it can't be made then it can't be made. He amazes me every day.
Oh it isn't all grins and giggles but honey, I've never been treated so good.
To be honest it is usually my german stubborness that gets me into trouble LOL.
I'm sure some of you have encountered that LOL. I'm stubborn yet persistant.
Don't get me started on my soap box about the oil and gas. I will drag my thoughts away from that....yes I am.....ok.
More unusual events in the last few days other than the sewer. Dad calls and I thought he meant Mom was in the hospital and something to do with the sewer, the city and fumes. That wasn't quite the case....lol
Joe and I run up to the hospital and it is Dad in the hospital for something unrelated to a sewer and Mom was home taking care of the sewer people. It was a confusing couple minutes but funny when you think about it.
I just got a phone call from a friend I see every Tuesday. She had been sick last week and we miss that weekly tradition. She brought up a point about how important family is. Now it isn't like it used to be. Families took care of each others and now that isn't the case. When I was at part of the sewer event I saw how Joe and some of his brothers and sisters come together and helped take care of a problem. It gave me goosebumps to see that and also sad because I want that so much in my own family. I have an extended family but I will always long for my own family, warts and all. The yoga tradition is about forgiveness and so is mine.
What happened was a long time ago and the last on high dose Prednisone, is enough to make anyone crazy. I am not a mean woman. I am a loving woman who would do anything for anybody who will be loyal to the death for family and friends.
My family who won't and can't see that are fools.
Didn't expect it to end this way today but did warn you in advance.
A feeling good day and turned the magnet on the fridge to a good day. Gives Joe a clue as to how I am on any day. Off to see what adventures I can find......
Have a good one and remember, live one day at a time, you don't know if tomorrow will come.
I almost forgot, if anyone knew my friend Arden, boyfriend #2 met her on the way to the airport years back. She was opinioned and always made me laugh. She died on March 11 and I found out recently. Rest in peace my friend.
