Thursday Musings

I am trying to get back into the swing of blogging.  Not because there are people out there who read, or even car about, what I write.  Moreso, I write because its what I do, who I am, and it feeds my creativity.  Sometimes putting things "down on paper"  (this being the cyber-paper society that we've become).  Besides, typing is much faster than writing in a journal.  (which I've done all my life.... )

Today was a decent day as far as the usual day to day business goes.   I was panicked for a few moments when I checked my email this morning and found a memo from my bank stating giving me a "low balance alert".  I had just checked my balance the night before, and even paid a few more bills because there was an extra dollar or two in there.  So I did what I never do:  logged onto my account from my phone.  but I felt I had to.  If there was $500 last night and today was pay day... why should there be a low balance?  Is there some kind of fraud going on?  With all this "heart bleed" in the news about accounts and passwords being compromised -- my concern for the banking issue was greater than my concern for using my phone to access things.   *huge sigh of relief*  nothing was amiss in my account!

I've been working diligently on my photography using todaysposting.com for topics.  Sometimes its hard enough just to come up with a photo to fit the topic, let alone trying to grow my skills and trying new things.  Its all a learning process, and I really, really enjoy it.

This week, I am working a long stint:  10 days in a row.  My reward?   a five day weekend, gonna go visit my folks.  Lately, my dad has been doing well, but the "big pink elephant" in the room is the question on all our minds:  What happens when his body can't take any more chemo?    :(

In the meantime, I've been writing and sending him little notes a couple times a week.  (At first, I tried every day, but that was way too difficult to do)  Maybe I'll get some of them posted here eventually.  Many of them have to do with specific family memories, but .... I'm the one writing them, and hopefully others will find them entertaining.  Maybe that will be my "summer project" when its too hot to spend much time outside.

That's all for today.  Time to snuggle into bed.... hmmm... maybe not snuggle, its too hot.  Time to sprawl out on the cool spot and try for some zzzz's.

Tomorrow's Friday.... Woooo Hooo *HaPpY  dAnCe*
