EASTER

Another holiday without Scott....  I took an Easter decoration for his grave the other day.  Today I just went and said hello.  I know he isn't there but it is a tangible spot to visit.  Chris, Kristen, father-in-law, Adam, Craig, and I had a nice dinner.  Melissa came over after she got off work.  I kind of liked this whole bratwurst/cookout thing.  It was easy, so there was more time to relax and visit. We used disposable plates, so clean up was minimal.  If I had done the traditional ham dinner, I would probably still be cleaning up.  I have to go back to work tomorrow.  I am not ready!  I have really enjoyed my time off.   Sleeping was my big thing and that will be hard to give up.  Now I have 2 months to go before a break of any kind.  I really am looking forward to summer and sun!  I think, I hope, I will have enough hot water for my shower in the morning!  I didn't run the dishwasher today, just rinsed the dishes and will run tomorrow. I have tried to be very conservative with my gas.  Adam went to his Grandpa's to shower.  Craig and I took really fast showers today.  So.....  The truck will be here in the morning and all will be good again.  At least with that.  Mom goes in the hospital 1st thing in the morning.  She is scared.  Of course, they probably won't do anything tomorrow except draw blood, run tests, start meds, etc.  It is the days after that, that are scary.  I know there is nothing I can do but I can't help thinking about things.  Peaceful wishes to all reading this and to those who aren't.

I go back to work this morning too. I could have stayed off indefinitely...but I will be done in May...so it won\'t be too long for me. I have found that simplicity is best too. Seems to allow more peace into our lives. I hope your day...your week is a good one and peace to you...Karen

Ginger,
I am not working and not sure when I will get another job. I am getting used to being off and that is not necessarily a good thing.
Sounds like you had a nice Easter. I hope everything goes well for your Mom. Hugs, Inga

Sounds like your day was pretty uneventful and I have come to enjoy those days. We don\'t need all the hectic pace in our lives right now. I have a few days off before I go back to work. It\'s nice but makes me a tad lazy. Hope you have a nice day. Thinking of you. Love Robin

I talk to John all the time and anywhere. His grave brings me more pain than satisfaction so I don\'t go much anymore. I find the days after the holidays so hard so maybe work is a good thing. Thinking of you. Love and hugs cathy
