Yes, Monday, Yeah! I am so freaken happy because now I can sit at work and not be on my feet so much.

Not much going on after work today but I know I will find something to do when I get home.

 &

I decided that this morning was going to be stain the new door morning. Got that done and another small paint project done. Laundry and dishes are being done now.

We went to the party in Bloomington late yesterday afternoon. It was so nice out, we were all on the patio until we left. I told Hubert we needed to have a last fire here before it gets to cold.

We are heading to Ottawa this afternoon for a birthday party for Hubert's uncle. He turns 90.

I sure wouldn't want to be moving. We have been here since 75, and I know, it would take months to sort, discard and decide what to keep.  Good luck.

Hugs,

We are just going through Springfield.  I am really looking forward to seeing some old friends.  One we haven't seen in over 7 years.  I hope everyone has a great weekend!

Not too much going on today. Off to the Creek to serve in the Green Room during the service then we have plans to meet up with friends for dinner afterwards. They are our real estate agents and we are going to touch base with them as to the sale of our house.

Good afternoon Illinois!!!!

I can't believe how long it's been since I checked in!  I hope everyone is doing well.  I am.

I have been cast in a shadowcast production of "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" and show nights are tonight and tomorrow night.  Dress rehearsal last night lasted until 12:30 am and I didn't get to bed until 2:00 am!  Very late for me, but I only have to do it for two more days.  I am having a blast!  This is kind of a big deal for me.  I have always been interested in theater and was actually cast in high school but that play got cancelled.  Then, my life changed drastically.  I have always been interested in theater and, as some of you know, I was involved with my kids for the last 6-7 years.  I did not audition myself for many reasons, although I wished that I could've/would've/should've.  When THIS show came up, I figured, "why not?  Can't get cast if I don't audition".  Not only was I cast, but I am now playing Magenta and involved in many of the scenes.  I am the oldest person in the building, but I keep up with those youngsters quite well.  This is giving me the confidence to try for other shows with a greater commitment.   AND.......the cherry on top??????  Last night, most (if not all) of the cast were indulging in rum and coke to, "loosen up and get comfortable".  NOT ME!!!!!!  I am doing this SOBER!  Hahahahahaha!  Who would have thought??????

I also have applied and have an interview on Wednesday for a position at the bank where I used to work.  In retrospect, I should never have left my position there.  By now, I would have been an officer and earned my gold watch for 20 years of service.  The position is in the Trust/Retirement Department, which I find fitting, since I would LOVE to be retired.  I can do this job with my eyes closed.  If it is offered, I will most likely accept as it is a fantastic place to work and it would be a fine ending to my career years.

Other than that, I am missing Liv a lot.  She is doing well, I just miss her being here.  She is very busy and isn't as communicative as she once was.  I am working on getting her home for both Thanksgiving and Christmas.  She did not thing she would be home for Thanksgiving (due to cost), but I am working on a plan to be able to afford both flights.

David comes and goes and Todd is usually easier to live with lately.

I do think of you often and I wish nothing but great things for you all!
