Update

Ok so I've been MIA for over a month! I've had so much going on and just haven't felt like getting on the computer. I get like that from time to time.
I haven't created any art at all..shame on me. I have had my daughter and her husband staying with me for the summer and they moved into my art room and I just can't seem to get creative. I've tried to goof around in my journal and what comes out is blah! lol So I've set it aside temporarily because my head has been focused on so many things.
I helped my mom get my step dad into a home about 3 weeks ago, what a sad day that was. It was so hard to leave him there and go home to moms and John not be there, Very strange feeling. We put him in the best Memory unit we could find only to find out a week later he wasn't wearing his own clothes and he hadn't shaved in days. There is neglect no matter how much you pay or where you go! So this week he is moving to a much better much homier facility. When we toured there were two little old men sneeking into this ladys room and the nurse had to chase them out. They were about Johns age. It was soooo funny. I can see John incahoots with them now. I think this new place will be much more stimulating for him. He hates it where he is.
I've been working hard on ME. I've been working out with a personal trainer for a few weeks now and I'm on a strict diet. I have more energy than I've had in years, my back is almost completely healed and my knees are soooo much better! My goal is snow skiing in the spring. I can't wait until the day comes for me to post before and after pictures. I am documenting the progress. This is really exciting for me. I am also trying to quit smoking at the same time. I think that is much harder than trying to eat right and exercise. Geeze it's tough. I'm down to less than 10 a day now though! some days I only have 5. Yesterday I didn't even have one until like 1:30 in the afternoon. Woot woot go me!
