2010 Memorial Day Weekend

Gee, what do I say? This is a holiday weekend. After 25 years of working holidays at least half the time, I still had no feeling for holidays, all of them. Now I finally do. But I spend my time alone because natural rubber latex allergy is so limiting. At least I do have Casey to keep me company, and she really does.

A good thing is that I've been on a new, to me, antidepressant that seems to have started working already. It hasn't stopped the down times in late afternoon and evening yet, but I know it will get better.

I had a lovely campfire last night, first for summer. Casey doesn't like fire so she went into the house. It was very noisy here thru the afternoon and evening til just before dusk. The Frey farm across the canal looked like Watkin's Glen with all the RVs and tents. It sounded like it too with all the dirt bikes and 4 wheelers racing around the field. It's been quiet today. Someone must have complained. I don't blame them. All the noise took away from the beauty of the canal and the peaceful time that many were here to enjoy. I'm so glad that all can enjoy the serenity down here.

Many boats have been going back and forth today enjoying the weekend and wonderful weather. Sometimes the boaters point to my house while passing by. I have a hard time keeping it all up and I'm still behind, but I love those compliments. I almost expected to see jaws coming out of the water, but he can't because he's already in my little pop up pool. :) Ken, my pool boy, sits on the top step of the ladder. Can't have a pool without a pool boy.

Because of a dear friend suggesting it, Casey now has the run of the backyard while I'm out with her. She loves it. I guess after almost 9 years I can trust her to leave the "sneak out spots" alone. I am so very lucky to have such a character for a companion.

I continue to workout at Curves Macedon even when I can't always go d/t reactions elsewhere. It's fun, there's great networking, I meet new woman who may become friends, and my energy level has improved a lot while I'm thinning down. This place has been a blessing for me.

Time to go fishing in my backyard. :) :) :)
