Friday

 Life has been so busy plus I was sick with pneumonia, again. It was so terrible. I feel much better except for some lingering fatigue.

Work has been overwhelming for me. I wish it wasn't. The one thing I'm grateful for though at work is that my administrator is a really nice guy that I enjoy working with........

Mr. Bojangles is doing ok. He's taking his thyroid medication and seems to be feeling better. He looks unkept but I read that's a sign of the hyperthyroid. I guess that part will get better too.

My tomatoes  and green peppers continue to grow well. I love it!

Middle son bought his first house. It's a nice house in a great neighborhood with the best of schools. So if he ever has children he's in the right place! I'm excited for him. He's been looking for a house for several years. 

Daughters going through a tough time. I think she will work through it all in time. It's horrible when your children, even if they are adults, are hurting. As a mom I just want to make it all better. 

I'm happy for this 3 day weekend. I'd like to spend some time working in my yard if the weather allows!

monday

 so I go back to work tomorrow. the time off has been good for the most part. i didn't go out of town. mostly i hung around the house. i put a new flower bed in the front yard. i'm on the fence though with regards to the edging i used. i'll probably replace it with some sort of rock. otherwise i like it!

i'm up early today because i want to watch the sunrise. i don't know why but it was calling my name!

my green peppers are doing great. so are my cherry tomatoes. my raspberries have some fruits. i didn't think i'd get any. so i'm pretty happy about those little fruits!

my tomatoes

look at these beauties!

raspberries

i got mr. bojangles a paper bag taco truck. he likes it. he likes it a lot! lol

this little guy, my nephew who is now an adult, was just sworn in as a police officer.

my favorite pic of me and my sisters!

i've been enjoying my pool!

since its my last day off i plan on cleaning my house. it needs it and i do better at work if my personal business is taken care of. after i clean i'm going to soak in the pool and the sun. if it's not too humid today i'll probably grill my supper outside.

my dad is doing better but the pneumonia kicked his ass. it's the first time ever that i thought my dad looked his age. it kind of made my heart ache. i think he lost 21 lbs and the antibiotic caused the tendon in his lower leg/foot to rupture. he's had quite a bit of pain. they can cast it, or do surgery but he doesn't want either of those two options. so for now he and his ortho doctor have decided to give it 2 months then re-evaluate. i hope it heals on its own.

i fell asleep last night watching through my bedroom window 

the fireworks light up the sky.
