relaxation at its finest

so, not to make you all jealous, but right now i'm sitting in our bedroom overlooking the ocean. you can't beat it. today i spent mostly swimming, catching up on some reading, and playing a game of ultimate, which by the way, proved to me that i am way out of shape. it was fun, though, and it's cool being here with tina's family. so, looking back, it's hard to believe that only 2 months ago, i was in spain waiting to come home. life has been kind of a circus since then. i've been back doing masonry, which is cool, but it seems like my life is so planned, and you have to force yourself to relax and enjoy life. that's one of the reasons why i'm so glad to be down here. it's relaxing, and a lot of fun. tonite tina and i are going to share some with the family about our trip, so we are looking forward to that. every time we talk somewhere, it always helps to bring back those memories and thoughts from when we were in spain, and i can process them a little bit. anyway, i'll stop rambling. God bless you all.

normalness

So, I am officially a maid! (cleaning lady is more accurate, but it's fun to mix it up.) So far, I like it. I have 3 houses I am doing, one that is every other week, one that is every friday morning, and one that I'm not sure how often it will be. I'm hoping to add at least one more, we shall see. I like that I can set my own hours, that it's lots of exercise, that the pay is nice, and it's only a few hours a week. Part of me feels like a bum, just doing housework most of the week, but I am enjoying it! The only part I don't like is I'm alone so much. I really got used to having people around all the time, and I miss my team!! I miss them, but at the same time I tend to get into this loner funk, where any interruption is a nuisance, even my sweetie! I think our friend Don. Miller wrote about that once....
Hooray for upcoming vacations...... and sprays that kill ants......and fireworks.....and good wine!
