First time here, part 3

Hey everyone, happy 4th!
I'm really feeling very proud of myself this week.

Since the birthday, flowers, my just saying "thank you", but not gushing on and on.... he has been silent. But I HAVE BEEN FINE WITH THAT.

That's the amazing part. In fact, I have stayed busy all week, even have some job opportunities lined up for later in July. Today I was out getting some things for the house, and really enjoyed it. He did try to call while I was out, but I waited a couple of hours and then texted- I can't answer phone right now but I will return your call later today or maybe tomorrow. Of course, he didn't respond, but I don't think I am going to return the call. The way I'm thinking is, I did not ignore his call, but I just forgot to call back, or was too busy GALing 4th of July parties, and whoops, just didn't get around to calling.

Today I bought curtains for my living room, which I had hesitated about b/c they already had these beautiful plantation shutters when I bought the house... but I've been having trouble with the echo in the room- cathedral ceilings and hardwood floors, so very hard to hear the TV, etc. So I bought some, hung them myself, and I can't stop looking at them! Plus now I can hear the TV so much clearer! Oh the joy of the simple things in life.

Oh, and this week I also went to sod farm, bought sod, brought it home, and laid it in my little magical garden in the back yard. I'm treating it like a baby, but honestly, I have to stop myself from just sitting out there watching everything grow and bloom. It's amazing.

Tomorrow I'm headed to hometown place to spend rest of holiday with sister and BIL, skiing and tubing on the alligator infested Alabama River. If any of you know the BLT song "Pontoon", well that's us the next few days, although the weather does not want to cooperate. I'm looking forward to fun, and living, and I think that's what my healthiest option is, at this point.

Be well, my friends. Just wanted to post so Y'ALL don't forget me.
