There's alway something....

I've done it again, or perhaps I should say, I haven't done it. It's been seven weeks since I've written.

I'm so over winter, although I shouldn't complain. Our first Tennessee winter has been so much more mild than we are used to and central Illinois has been blasted. None the less, I was thankful that today was my day off and I didn't have to get out in the snow. Bob and I still chuckle when they close the schools here due to weather. In Illinois, a little ice and a couple inches of snow, (or less), wouldn't close the doors. If that were the case, no one would ever get past the second grade.

My boss, who is based in Charlotte, flew in and spent Monday and Tuesday in the Nashville office. She asked me how the 10 hour days were working for me. Not knowing how to not be honest, I told her, "I wish I could do the 10 hour day thing in the Spring and Summer months and work eight hour days in the winter." She immediately said, "no problem."
As Daylight Savings Time arrives early, (March 9th), I will stick with my 10 hour day schedule for now. When Fall arrives once again, we'll see.

I am looking forward to the month of March. Bob and I will celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary on the 27th and I'll turn the big 4-8 on the 30th. I've scheduled a few days of vacation the end of the month in hopes of taking a mini-vacation somewhere in celebration. The temperatures will undoubtedly escalate a bit, although on my birthday, I'll get to hear again about the foot of snow that was on the ground when I was born. The tree and flower buds will begin to pop and once again, new life will Spring forth.

There is always something to look forward to and be thankful for.
