We'll Figure It Out Together.

I'm watching the final episode of last season of The Walking Dead... and it's not quite as stimulating as last time.. but it's still pretty good.  The last week or so has been cold.. and snowy... We had my grandmother's funeral on Wed.  I took Tues and Wed. off so that I could be there for the funeral.. my daughters have been out of school for the whole week due to the weather. We never knew what day they would have school.. and my oldest daughter has to be there for her next school day because she will be signing up for classes for the next semester.  If she isn't there.. she might miss out on her dual credit classes.  I'm glad she is intelligent.. and can do for herself... but I still intend on being there for her when I can. My spouse's cousin gave her a big screen tv and a new table.. I'm all for them having what they can... I also finally got my tax refund back.. a bit more than I thought I'd get... and my performance award from 2 years ago finally got settled.. so things are really looking up in that respect.  Still... it was a bitter cold week.. even during the funeral the cemetery on the ridge was bitter cold.. and I didn't even notice it very much at the time. My dad has cataracts on both of his eyes... so I drove up... he was supposed to go see about them last week.. but with everything happening, it had to be put off for a bit.  It seems like things seem to come up all the time just to push things off... I understand that.. and I'm a very patient person.  I am working toward things in my life.. and the push to get there is still a driving force, but it isn't something that will cause me to force things anywhere.. I've always tried to be that way. There has been a bit going on with some of my friends... and I see their interests pulling them elsewhere... but that's okay.. as long as it's something that enhances their lives.. That's all I want for anyone... is things that are supportive. It seems like most people want to cause more issues. I don't know why... it makes no sense most of the time.

I have a job prospect where I want to be.. making much more money... I'm hopeful about this. ...but I won't hear anything for at least a month... at least that's what I was told when I followed up with them. It's all seeming to look up... at least that's what I want to believe. The past is gone... forgotten..  and it's probably better for everyone... I know that I'm where I want to be... and things are the way I want them.. or at least heading that direction.  I have someone who trusts me.. and in whom I trust.. someone who accepts me and doesn't try to change me.. and I have no desire for her to change... as I accept her for all she is.. and we'll figure it out together.
