Home Again Home Again

I'm doing good :) I was visiting family in Florida over the weekend. My dad had his 67th birthday. I got home to Atlanta safe and sound today. Took 8 hours to drive from Florida, but I didn't stop for lunch. I just reallllly wanted to be in my own apartment, and get off the road.

The visit there was really good. More than anything I think, I saw my father's gratitude that I'd driven all that way to be with him for his birthday. Mom told me also, something she hadn't before. That when dad had his operation in December, at one point his heart stopped, and they had to pound on it to bring him back. Could have been a very different Christmas. Makes me all the more grateful for the remaining time. Dad says if he continues to improve at his current rate, he may be able to go back to work mid-September. That'd be about 10 months since he'd been working. What's he do? Hehe. He repairs arrays and gyros on the space shuttle.

I picked up a good book while I was in FL. Allie's been recommending it to me for awhile now. It's called "He's Just Not That Into You" and is written by both a guy and a gal. It's helped me see my past relationships in quite a new (and relieving) light :) I could have saved myself a LOT of heartache over Mr. Tattoos if I'd read this previously.

I get to go by the school tomorrow and pick up my $100 tax free spendable card for classroom supplies. Have to spend it before Sunday or it disappears, but hey, it's something at least. We got one last year, but not the year before. Let's see if the trend continues.

Oh, and Friday I get to visit with Mr. Poet again. Sigh, last free weekday till next June :) Great way to end summer.
