Hello there!  It’s been a minute, hasn’t it?

How is the world where you are this fine, partly sunny, Thursday?  Me, I’ve been better.  It’s mid-February, and in the last two days, I’ve gotten a head cold.  Allergies, perhaps?  Either way I am stuffy with sinus pressure and have had a slight headache on and off since the end of last week.  It was this same time last year that I felt exactly the same way.

Stuffiness aside, every thing else is going well.  Except I may have, once again, cut my bangs a little too short and am anxiously awaiting when I look more like myself.  Any who…

Things since I was last on here have been about the same: school, clean, cook, workout, repeat.  I haven’t been taking pictures and I haven’t been spending too much time working on the blog.  And actually, I’m kind of stumped with things blog related at the moment.  But I did revisit my Cavia Creek site briefly in these last couple of weeks.  I found that I actually have a draft post over there just needing a little revising from the last time I worked on it.  It would be nice to have a little more free time.

Highlights of my life since I last wrote:

Stephen and I cleaned the garage.  And I mean completely cleaned it out.  We had a literal truck load of trash and everything.  Because of this, we now have a working heavy bag set up.  The boy was given it last summer, we just didn’t have a place for it so it had been sitting in the middle of everything, partly disassembled.

I did our taxes.  That was not fun, and we won’t be doing anything else with those until April.  Enough said.

I made a dress.  I love the material and the pattern, but it’s too baggy at the top, so I will have to take the bodice apart and fix it because I like it too much to leave it how it is.

The sun shined, it warmed up a little bit, and it stopped raining for a few minutes.  I wore a brightly colored dress to celebrate.

Stephen and I started up again with a weight lifting program, and we’re going full speed ahead.  Or, more like one step in front of the other.  I’m also working on my patience as I slowly work this weight off that I’ve managed to put on over the last year or so.

Ethan has started working on ACT prep.  Excuse me while I go and cry for a minute at the thought of my boy growing up…

And that’s all that’s been going on around here.  I’m about to get a start at pruning muscadine vines, and we are planning on a nice family fun weekend.  What have you been up to?  Until next time.  ❤
