I am still here still alive and doing well. I hope that you are too. I am still enjoying my work, my home, my pups, my family(thankfully I live alone LOLOLOLOLOL) my money, peace, love, and now if I could just get my health in order. Last week, I had some blood drawn. I will find out on Thursday what the results are. The homestead is sweet. Funny how things do happen. Back in January of this year, I would have been embarrassed to have anyone come over to my house, it was so awful. Looking back, I actually cannot believe that I, or anyone for that matter, could live like that. Then, on a Spring day- of this year, my sister, mother and cousin came by to see how I was doing as I was home sick from work that day. Needless to say, they were appalled(understandably) but overall, very non judgemental, and they were understanding , and I am now and forever greatful that they made the decision to see me on that day and now my home is FABULOUS. My home is nice, clean, and very presentable, and even though I am still shy and a bit of a homebody and a recluse, I am not afraid for people to come over or stop by. Hell, I even now have a lady that comes over twice a month to clean my house. She is excellent. I do some of my own house cleaning( and with an old dog with bladder problems I admit it is a tad difficult, but I manage to do it)
