Good Monday morning, ladies!
Thanks to right1 for letting you know why I've been MIA. Thanks so much for all of the kind words and positive vibes. Trying to juggle my father's death, caring for my mom (who has Alzheimer's), getting my son off to college, learning the ropes on the new job has been all-consuming. Oh, and the fact that we have absolutely unreliable internet connection here at home was the kisser. Blah!
So ... here's my update ---
Although my dad had been sick, his passing was relatively quick and, with the help of hospice, pain-free. He died at home, which was his wish. Because mom has Alzheimer's, it was especially tough going.
My son is loving college! He's doing well (I assume), with most communication via text. I figure that no news is good news. He walked on to the track team -- his high school events were discus and shotput -- and he's now training for the decathlon.
I love my new job. I'm not quite as productive as I'd like to be, so I am trying to give myself a break. If only I could get some relief from hot flashes, which wake me at night, so that I could feel refreshed every morning. Ugh!
And, last (for now), but not least, hubby and I have been gaining weight. I haven't gotten on a scale, but don't really need to ... so I'm trying to eat better and get back into some sort of exercise routine. When I quit teaching Tae Kwon Do (about six months ago) I lost my cardio, strength and stretching work-outs. Needless to say, my body hasn't been the same since. LOL!
I hope you're all doing well. It's good to be back. Cheers!
