Huh...that sounded depressing. Good things:

• The sun is shining! My virgin mattress (lol) got wet in the rain and will get a chance to dry out. Need to find a find a way to keep it dry and protected.
• The kids are outside picking pie cherries on public land near the Farmer's Market.
• Did I mention it isn't raining? That's so nice!
• My son is going to visit my dad at the end of this month and will get to attend the annual Hill Family Canoe Trip. This is something that I could recreate here. I have a canoe. It needs major fiberglass work before it will float, but nevertheless, it is a canoe.
• My son's dog is doing much better and all the kids are well and happy.
• Now that I'm out of a job, there is time to catch up on all the appointments for my kids (example, dentist), so that when I get employment again, these will already be handled.
• Yearly is coming up and my son and daughter will be coming with. I have found a housesitter to watch my place and the dogs.
• And for no reason in particular, the thought of you makes me smile. :-)
