Feeling better

After my pity party, Darrell invited me to go for a ride to buy gas. May not sound like much, but I have been cooped up for a week, almost two. So, we went to buy gas, and then we took the long way home. Darrell likes to ride through the state forest, and thought I would enjoy a journey. He was right! I felt so much better having a different view of the world. There were some beautiful water ways, and areas of trees. The only wild life we saw was a red squirrel, but that is okay. I did come up with a solution to my need for a comfy nightie, I can use an extra one of Darrell's hankies. They are white, and get bleached, so I think this is a good thing. :) Getting out helped me to reconnect with him, and that was great! We used to go for rides when we were dating, and I forgot how much I enjoy them.

Then, when we got home this package was on our steps. This is one of the things I purchase for myself. I cannot tell you how much I love these. They are fresh picked and arrived straight from the orchard:

A whole box of oranges. I share them, as who can resist the sweet goodness? I will gladly give up Rolos for these. :) YUMMY!

When I got inside, there were two messages. One from my supervisor, and one from my mother. I called mom first. :) She offered me some suggestions for my tummy itches, and I am patiently waiting to apply them. Darrell will be going out later to bring Ruth to an appointment, and will buy my remedy. I will let you know how it turned out. :) Then, I called my supervisor. She was checking on me, which I appreciate. Not only that, she was doing my first file review. I was dreading that, especially since I planned to get them updated last week. Oh, well. There were good points that I wrote down, and other things I will learn from. Over all, what she said was not a surprise, and we will cover it all when I return. On that subject, A. knows how our finances are, and offered some ideas for my return so that I might not be out so long. This I thought was great, because I love my job. Helping others makes me happy, and that is what I do there. So, we will see what the doctor says on Thursday, and will go from there. :)

I'll be off now. I plan to nap the afternoon away. :)
