Busy, busy, busy! The last week hasn’t been bad at all. Wow so much to write about, so much going on; not sure where to begin. . . So the moving is going still, packing sorting ect. Yard sale fast approaching. I cleaned the house up last week as company was coming; I know, I’m crazy. My God Daughter came up with a friend as she was getting one of my antiques and her friend had a big enough Van to fit it in! Her friend Carrie was real nice, I liked her a lot! So they were her and Ellen, Bridget, and Maxx, we all had a nice dinner outside and then went down town. Beautiful evening, great weather, we were all pretty tired but of course stayed up till 1 am watching the baby Raccoons.

Bridget and I painted a dresser, then a wall last week too. We will finish the dresser this week when she comes over for a sleep over. It is white now but we are going to stencil butterflies and poke-a-dots all over it. We had a lot of fun painting it out side on an 82 degree day.

Ellen got the storage shed delivered and so we have also been working on putting that together. It was a little rough on the 83 degree day we were working on it, but it is getting together. Tomorrow is the big day, the walls go up and the roof goes on. It all has to go on as a small wind could damage it if it isn’t all together. When it is up and done I will be able to start moving boxes over to store in it. I have stored some in the garage, stuff that can’t get damp, all ready.

This week end will be painting my new room too, as everything will be out of it by then. My dad is coming with his truck to switch couches, as Ellen wants to sell hers and use mine. Now if my older brother would get his act together in the next few days his stuff that is stored here will leave. My younger brother is going to take my Mom’s cat and the cat will live out what life he has let with him. I am taking Mishie with me.

My pen pal Victor live here in Seattle, really enjoy him. He is coming to the yard sale! So we will finally meet face to face. We have talked on the phone too. He is very creative too. He is a writer, artist, and photographer just like me! Love animals too and is gifted with them like me also. It will be great fun to meet him.

Group went well today, finally announced that I am getting released this week by Dr. McDavid. I am going to try and go till I go back to work, even with all the moving stuff. It will be hard to say good buy but I am very excited about my new life and going into the future! That is what I need to do, and that is what I want to do, and that’s what I am going to do! I feel positive, strong, and un-afraid; I want a life and what ever it brings my way. I have learned so very much, and I will Carrie that with me out into the big wide world; I no longer feel a need to hide away in false safety and avoidance. I am so grateful I did not pull the trigger of that loaded gun I had put to my head! You never know what lies just around the corner, remember that and just put one foot in front of the other even when you don’t want to because sooner or later life gives you back life; if you work hard and really want it.
