Day 1: Bedsheets

I'm a month late for this game but o well..This is my turn to play the Thankful Game..
I'm thankful for bedsheets that may be older than I am but remind me of my grandparents' house, instead of the others that have so many memories that I just don't need extra help remembering right now. I'm thankful they were waiting at the bottom of that box just for this moment.

My babies

High high up in the sky :-)

Lots of wierd dreams lately, culminating from the different things I've had running through my head. Most are sad, but one I was on a zipline over a rainforest & it felt so real! I can almost smell the trees. Thinking I might try and conquer my fear of heights on one of these local ziplines.

What do i do with me...

"What do I do now that I'm on my own
What we did together beats anything I've done alone
since the day that you left, I've been askin myself
Is this how it's gonna be?
Without you, what do I do with me?...
Without you, where do I go, where do I turn? I'd sure like to know
And what do I do with all of our plans and how do I spend all this time on my hands..
Without you, what do I do with me."
~Tanya Tucker "What Do I Do With Me"

Tonight...

Seriously, I hate blogger on my phone b/c it never saves the novel of a post I spent so much time on. Glad I have the tablet at work tonight. Maybe that was my cue that what I was writing was too emotional for right now. I'm missing him so much tonight, and it thoroughly sucks.

"You feel like your fallin backwards,
Like your slippin through the cracks..
..You walk outside and all you see is rain,
You look inside and all you see is pain
And you can't see it now..
..But down the road the sun is shining
In every cloud there's a silver lining
Just keep holdin on"
-from "One Day You Will" by Lady Antebellum

"Woke up late today and I still feel the sting of the pain
But I brushed my teeth anyway
I got dressed through the mess and put a smile on my face
I got a little bit stronger

Riding in the car to work and I'm trying to ignore the hurt
So I turned on the radio, stupid song made me think of you
I listened to it for minute but I changed it
I'm getting a little bit stronger, just a little bit stronger"
-from "A Little Bit Stronger" by Sara Evans

"All the things I've felt and never shared
All the times that she was lonely with me there
Tears I wouldn't let fall from my eyes
And how I let her go without a fight

The reasons I'm alone, I know by heart
But I don't wanna spend forever in the dark
I swear next time I'll hang on for dear life
If love ever gives me another try

There's no changing things that we regret
The best that we can hope for is one more chance
If the hands of time could just move in reverse
I wouldn't make the same mistake again with her"
-from "Another Try" by Josh Turner ft. Trisha Yearwood

Clutter & such

I'm off on Sunday, and it's high time I tackle these boxes that graced my living room several weeks ago. I've been so consumed by everything that I've put it off. I guess since it was way too emotional packing it all up, I've been hesitant to do more than unpack clothes. I did try one box & that was a bust lol. So, I guess its high time for another try.

Paws of Trouble

I had a small kitten adopt me a few weeks back. I already have two cats that are super important to me here, and one back home in AL. It was a 20degree night, so I let him inside. He's a rambunctious little shit that gets into everything, and he has more energy than I know what to do with! So, appropriately, I named him Trouble. Last night, I'd had a particularly hard time with things. He came over to me and just put his paw on my arm, like he was saying "It's okay."
