Trying to find a good life balance when you add up all the things a person wants to accomplish in a day or a week, it's not an easy task!
My work life consumes 10 hours a day, then there's walking the dog, finding time to do a few chores and squeeze in a little exercise as well, and before you know it, it's bedtime! And there's paperwork that didn't completed, maybe a few bills needed to be paid, then add in the creative stuff that I enjoy doing.
Where did I find all the time to do those things in the past ?????
And how will I create time for myself to do those things now ?
With everything that's been going on, sometimes just getting through the work day is the only struggle I can get through. Other days, it goes a little better and I feel like I get a few things accomplished. I am in awe over how much I can get done just on my phone, and yet, it still doesn't seem like it's enough some days.
One day at a time
It helps to make a list
I like the feeling I get when I can actually check something OFF my list!
Which reminds me, I need to make a "Honey Do" list for my son in law when he's here next week.
(He doesn't know it yet, though. haha)
Because today was a better day than most,
here's a photo of the flowers I planted last week
using the new Canon camera and filter I shopped for today!

Moving Somewhat Forward
In a crazy world, how often do we have to wait for something? Seems like all the time, for just about everything!
Well, I've been waiting for my roof to be replaced -- keeping my fingers crossed that it would be done before an heavy rains set in. All About Roofing was the company I went with, and they told me it would be the end of February, first of March. Three days ago I got a call and said it would be Feb 27th. When I got home from work that day, there were stacks of shingles on my roof. It surprised me, as I wasn't expecting it to be so many days prior to my installation date. I rearranged my work schedule so that I'd be home on the 27th, thinking I would need to be with Sadie because she might bark herself into a frenzy. While I was working on Weds, I got a call, said my roof was installed and the job done -- less than a 10 hour job!
Austin, my rep, dropped by after I got home from work (to collect my check!) and to see if everything was done. It looks great! As he said, they stripped the old, and installed new. They also put up new roof vent things, and cleaned up so well! He told me they had a crew of 12 in 5 trucks here at my place -- you couldn't tell that any one had been working all day on my home.
I'm tickled pink that I could get this important repair done -- before our monsoons arrive.
When I bought the house in 2009, they told me the roof appeared to be 8 years old.
I've been here 10+ years, and it was definitely time to get the job done.
I could have used my son to be here for it all,
he's so handy when it comes to repairs
but *sigh*
I'm doing a few more things, and life continues to move on.
I planted some spring flowers in my planters.
They won't last into the summer, but they will cheer me through spring!
and with that, there is a bit of moving forward.

Sinfully Delish!
Happy Mother's Day !
This is a box of Shari's Berries -
the best chocolate covered
strawberries ever! The box
was shipped well insulated
with an ice pack in it as well
to keep the berries cold.
These were the biggest
strawberries I've ever seen....
and yes.... sinfully delicious!
And a cute display of a potted flower
in my favorite color... Purple!
Many thanks to my daughter and granddaughter
for thinking of me!!
