Buprenorphine and A Scent with My Boyfriend's Name

By
This week, I am grateful for many things. First and foremost, my family.

My sister: Saturday afternoon she spent 5 hours of her free time (which she never gets) back that the hospital helping my poor Ollie cat when she was sick. Throughout this week, even after her 13 hour days that begin at 5 a.m. and don't end until 7 or 8 p.m. that night, she has helped me feed and fluid and poke and scoop and everything else so that I might save some money and time with Ollie being sick.

Her husband, my brother-in-law, Will: He has helped me in so many ways, namely by keeping Lindsay sane, but also through coming to my work or going by and checking on Ollie. I'm so grateful that my big sister decided to take his name and be with him. He's such a great person.

My aunts and grandparents: For letting me bring Ollie with me to Mama Liz and Papa Joe's house last weekend while she was sick. Even though Cricket, the dachshund was not happy about that.

Grateful, also, to have a job that brings me to happy, heartfelt tears all of the time. 

Here are a few photos from this week that I snapped.

Lastly, I am grateful that I have a wonderful sense of smell and can fully appreciate the scent of "Noel" made my Crabtree and Evelyn. Smells like DECEMBER!

I've fallen in love with fall

By
Realizing that I had been taking all of these great photos of the fun things I have gotten to do lately, and that I haven't stopped in too long to discuss how grateful I am for my life, I decided to do a quick update. Today, I am grateful for fall weather, seeing Noel's eyes light up when he watches glass blowing, and good friends who are always willing to be the "third wheel." Yesterday, Noel, Jade and I went to the Renaissance Festival outside of Annapolis, MD. I have not seen Noel so excited to be in company of so many (strange) people! So, we nerded out and walked around, drinking beer out of our handmade mugs and eating (them) turkey legs and (me) fried bread. It was a healthy sort of day. I think the best part of the day was watching Noel watch the glass blowing from the artisans at Art of Fire . Jade , being the awesome person she is, couldn't resist buying up BOTH of the pieces that we watched being made. Which brings me to Jade. I'm not sure I...

Beer, Bikes, and New Dresses

Today I am grateful for free time and beer. After a somewhat crazy day, and while looking forward to a sure to be crazy day tomorrow, I finally get to sit down and enjoy a nice beer while I write! This weekend was fun-filled, for sure. It began with Stephanie and I going to Good Dirt and making ceramic pots on the wheel. We were the class clowns, as we continued making fun of each other throughout the teacher's lessons. Oh well. We were having fun. I love the photo of the garage door to Good Dirt. It seemed beautiful to me. One of my pots will be bottom-less. But, ah, such is life. On a related note: My original subject was beer and pots...but I didn't want to get the stinky eye from anyone. Hahaha Jennifer and Stephanie After our romantic evening at Doc Cheys and then Good Dirt, Stephanie and I met up with Jennifer, and then Paige and Jason. After a drink, Stephanie, Jennifer and I decided to run down to Highwire. This is when the bottom fell out of the sky and ...

A poor guy

By
Today I am grateful to have a partner who puts up with the fact that he, sometimes, has to suffer because I don't have my mom to talk to.  I realized tonight that Noel suffers because I can't get on the phone and call my mom when I need to vent. When I have a stressful day at school and am frustrated, I can't call her up and tell her about my bad day, instead I have to unload it all onto him.  Even when it's not easy...he listens and responds.  Even when I can't see him at least 3 nights out of the week because I'm getting home at 9 p.m. every night...he still listens and responds.  I am grateful for how hard he works,  even when I don't deserve it.
