Reading has become my sanctuary again. I have lost myself in my book, another not far behind it to be read and a few coming from a Dear Friend of mine via post.

Life is hectic. I am working as much as my schedule (and the kids) allows, spending time as far from the pc as I can. It seems the drama and bullshit on Fetlife (Gray, dk and a few others seem to agree) is rampant and I don’t bother posting or feeding in to it.

My stitching is progressing nicely. I have the R almost done and this weekend I am going to start on my cousins wedding piece. He is getting married in December and I have to get off my ass and get working on his gift. I also still have the 2 H’s to make for my Uncles for Christmas and then frame all of these. I will have little to no free time and it’s probably a good thing. My days, when not working, will be spent in front of the tv with a movie going and stitching being done, same with my free time on the weekends. I have alot to tackle.

There’s some stuff coming up in the coming weeks. I’m worried for a dear friend of mine. My friend is going through some huge things in their personal life. My friend is facing permanent life changes that will affect not only my friend but most of their family, extended and otherwise. I’m being a supportive as possible, my ear always ready to listen and my shoulder dry for moments of emotional over load. I keep my dear friend in my prayers nightly and try to send happy txts as I can. Hopefully my friend knows how valued and loved they are and feels in my words.

My own dealings at home are .. calm, for the moment. I’m making my way to keeping things content and quiet. I spend my time stitching of course, but the house is clean, things are done, bills are paid and I make sure that any thing left over is noted for either the children to do or Shawn to complete.

Monday brings to Church again for a meeting with the newly installed Priest. I need to do confession (now called Reconciliation) and I’m attending Mass tonight at 5 since I can’t go tomorrow. The kids will get their behinds in CCD and I’m researching RCIA for myself. My faith needs renewing.

Off I go. We have 2 extras sleeping over today, Church tonight, projects tomorrow and its Shawn’s birthday. I still have to figure out dinner for tomorrow yet and bake a cake. How’ll I bake a cake with him here is beyond me.
