Playing Hookie

 

Sorry I haven't been around lately.  We are adjusting to a new routine around here.

Rick has been working out of town.

Rick installs new pumps for gas stations.

Sometimes he has to work out of town.

For awhile there he was doing jobs close enough to come home every night.

For the next few weeks he will only be home on the weekends.

He left last Monday to go to Crystal City.

On Weds and Thurs I had a friend who I went shopping with.

He came home on Friday.

Next week he leaves again for the week.

I have been working more hours now and have less computer time.

I still read everyones journals and try to comment.

I will try to post better next week.

It is hard adjusting to being a bachorlette for the week days.

We are doing fine.

Eric is still car less, but is riding to work with his fellow chefs.

He has picked up extra work trying to save up for a car.

I talk to both of them via the phone now.

Tiny is here with me.  She gets very upset when Rick leaves.  She pouts.

I have been adopted by a few cats.  Tiny lets them hang around unless Rick is home.

I will write more next week.

Love ya, Barbara

love you too, Barbara. You are doing great; adjusting to the changes in your life. They might be temporary changes, but still you are going with the flow. Hang in there; you know who is in control and that's all that matters

Sounds wierd for a woman but I loved the pictures of the dump truck.  Trucks and heavy equipment....been around them so long I guess they're in my blood too.
