kricket187's blog post - Semiannual Check In

Howdy Folks! Spent the day in status, just hanging out. I'd forgotten how much I miss ya'll.

I stepped into chat....gawd!! What did they do to it?!? I didn't last more than a minute. So confusing!

In other news, I've been adulting pretty hard. Managing my shop. Paying bills. Loving Meanie. We both spend a lot of time at work. So at home time is usually relaxing together and resting up for the next day.

I took a weeks vacation before spring break and summer hit. Didn't have anything planned. Just hanging out, resting. Doing much of nothing. It's been heaven.

Remember that whole Adulting thing I was talking about earlier? Well...here's an example I'm stupidly proud of:

My parents aren't getting any younger. Ya'll know my dad-doo has a pretty bad heart, along with a myriad of other health problems. My mom's prettyy healthy, other than COPD and emphazema. Still, they're in their late 60's-early 70's. Meanie and I help out as often as we can, since they like doing DIY stuff around the house. When my mom mentioned earlier this week she needed help getting the "big" ladder (12ft) out so she could replace a vent pipe. Uhhhh....no. Just...no. So my happy ass carried myself up that ladder, and about 10 ft up a steeply pitched roof. Despite the fact I'm terrified of heights. They kinda had to talk me off the roof to the ladder, because I wasn't looking up, down, sideways or anywhere else but directly in front of me. I was proud I actually kept my eyes open! LOL

Anyway. That's being an adult, right? Doing shit you don't want to do. Sometimes it's because you have to. Sometimes it's because you know it's the right thing to do.

It's prolly why adults are allowed beer. *nodnod*

Okay, I'm out! Take care of yourselves. I miss ya'll and think of ya often.
