My funky mood hasn't changed much. My back started acting up a again and I have been taking expired pain pills to ease the pain because I don't want to go to the doctor. The school year is finally winding down. Bailey is done with soccer for the time being. Bailey is also done with show choir and guitar lessons. MacKenzie is done with volleyball for the time being but still has horse back riding lessons on Saturdays. I am hoping we can get her to work for the stable in the summer. I have stopped playing soccer for a while to let my finger heal. I think I tore a tendon and/or ligament a couple of games ago. I'ts still swollen, I can't bend it or wear my wedding ring.
We booted our tenant out of the condo. We were expecting things to be bad when we went in and they were. She gave us back one key that didn't fit any doors. There was crayon all over the walls. She took the curtains from both downstair rooms. A broken window... I could go on and on. Now we get to repaint and carpet, again. We are going to try and sell it for a cheep price to just get rid of it. Anyone want a condo real cheep?
In the midst of my grand funk, there is always something to remind me that life really is good. Last night Bailey and I were finishing her science project and both of us were getting a little stressed with each other. All of a sudden, we saw a bug flying by the window. When we went to investigate, we discovered that it was a dragonfly. Was this God's way of telling me that he hears me, listens to me, takes care of me? What are the odds of a dragonfly coming into my house at 8 o'clock at night? So we got Mack and tried to catch it. We finally netted it and then Mack and I held it. The pictures are not that good, but you get the idea.
With all the negativity in world, I have to keep reminding myself that it is up to our individual selves to stay positive and live life like today may be my last.
