“Chaos in the world brings uneasiness, but it also allows the opportunity for creativity and growth.”

Tom Barrett

Last night while I was laying in bed by Ethan, he said to me: “Dad doesn’t tell you he loves you very much, but it’s okay because he does.  Really, he does”.    Where does he get it from?  Kids never cease to amaze me.

I just had someone proposition me the other day – that brought a strange uneasiness to our friendship,  maybe the end.  Gary, of course, was very upset and offered several ideas of his own to deal with this person.  I guess that person doesn’t know me as well as he thinks he does, because if he knew me at all, he would never have asked such a question.

I applied for  my job, finally.  I lost my resume the last time my computer crashed and had to make a new one from scratch.  That was the worst part though as the online application part was actually  much easier than I had anticipated.  Now the waiting begins.  Then the interview and then I expect to get laid off.  I am taking Gary’s tack on this – expect and plan for the worst and hope for the best.  So we shall see what will happen.

The good news is that I have found some willpower, in the form of sugarless gum and mints.  Whenever I am hungry or have a craving after 7 pm, I just reach for my gum and it really helps.  I’m trying to find some wood to knock on though.  Now if I could just get the exercising part down.

I am beginning to repaint the inside of my house – this is going to be a big chore, but I am up for it.  Gary, on the other hand, wants me to leave well enough alone, but I love to decorate and paint and change things around.  He should understand that after ten years of marriage!    Wish me luck.
