So while I actually did blog yesterday, the phone app is refusing to post and then quits responding and insisting I must "force quit." And I have tried numerous times since late last night. Oh well...I guess that one wasn't meant for internet eyes. Or I guess neither was the one that the app deleted either. Hmmm. I am sensing a trend. I guess that's my hint to just use the computer to do my blogging.
Its been a semi-productive, yet relaxing weekend. I have gotten through a few boxes both from the garage and in the house. I am in the process of weeding through toys, as well, and packing those up for either sale or donation. And I've gotten some normal household cleaning done, too. Yeah...sounds boring maybe but I'm quite happy that things are looking good around the house. The clutter, boxes, and mess take my anxiety level to such an extreme high. So when I get the chance to do something about it, it makes me feel so much better. I can literally feel my blood pressure drop back down to normal. Cluttered messes just stress me out. Unfortunately, I also have two boys who think messes are the best fun ever. So I just take deep breaths, let them play through their own mini tsunami of toys, and clean as they go (or wait until night time clean up for them to do it).
We now have high speed internet again and looks like we should be able to video chat with people a lot better now. Its nice to get to see people from back home and talk with them that way. I'm in a very "I want to go home" stage right now, so seeing and talking to everyone helps a bit. Even if it also makes me miss them that much more. I am trying really hard to stay positive about this whole experience. Its just getting a bit harder for some reason, instead of easier. Plus, I think being at home all day really takes its toll on me. I wish it took longer to heat up then it does here. If I could get the boys out in the mornings without worrying about the heat, I think we all would be doing a lot better. But its pretty hot even by 10am already. Which means by the time we are going home by noon, we are sweaty and tired and just ready to be done. Its making it a bit difficult to enjoy being outdoors.
On an absolutely other note, today is 10 years since my wonderful husband and I started dating. I like the sound of that. I think back and its so amazing that it all started that long ago now. It seems like yesterday and a life time ago all at the same time. Such wonderful memories and I cannot wait for all our future decades to come.
Time to end, so that I can spent some time with my husband and a good movie. Great way to end a pretty relaxing day.
