Just breathe........

I keep telling myself that a lot lately!

Smoky skies....
Of course, having a forest fire less than 50 miles away makes it tough sometimes. The winds change here a lot so at times it's pretty foggy looking. It was a bit worse earlier. I have some friends that live near the area, kinda scary for them. Hope they get it contained soon.  Some rain would help.....

Life has just been crazy busy, more so since we got back from Maine.....I just feel like I can't catch up...trying but not too successful....

Looking on the bright side, the lovely green trees in my yard.

A view from the street at our backyard.
Shady spot
Think I've discovered another shady spot to sit for a bit...


Backyard trees....with a ray of sunshine
Someone helping me explore...

Backyard o'weeds
We may not have grass to mow, but we still have weeds LOL!  Hubby is trying to keep up with them....

Side yard o'weeds
As you can see, not successful....guess we need to work on that ;)

Why am I feeling the need to tell myself to breathe, could be.....

-getting used to a new work schedule with 3:30 & 5 am (yes I said am) starts....yup, stocking shelves and making new displays.  Learning a lot, but whew....AZ has made me a morning person whether I wanted to or not.
-realizing my baby is graduating in 4 days and then going to Europe for 2 weeks shortly after....eep!
-my oldest is in Philly as a summer intern....
-getting ready to teach a knitting class at work and getting certified to teach it...whew a lot of work!
-not finishing knitting anything...sometimes I'm happy to knit a few rows....
-not any spinning either :(
-trying to work on my xray continuing education credits....need to step that up!! Time's getting short!
-joining a gym and taking spinning classes...my legs are finally not sore...well for now ;)

I've also been realizing that it'll be 1 year ago this week that I left a job I was at for 21 years....guess times are moving on and I just gotta go with the flow :) Still hard to do sometimes.....

Keep breathing. But not too deeply with that nasty air. :)

How are you doing with this whole grown up kids thing? I'm bowled over, but happy I have that toddler. That was a good call. I can pretend to roll back time.

That fire would make me nervous too! And two graduations in less than a month? That's a lot to celebrate and a lot of details to worry about. Enjoy it!
