Enjoying the weekend!

How is everyone enjoying their weekend?

Well, yesterday was it. My last day at work. I guess I left a little after 5. I had to give Aaron a ride to the uhaul place to pick up a truck, and I think we were both trying to act nonchelant, about leaving the house...like nothing was any different. And for awhile, I almost felt that way, as I walked out the door, ready to close it behind me, and out of the corner of my eye...I saw him...Buddy...Aaron's precious little dog, that I have grown to love so much. He is such a lover. Then it hit me...I'll probably never see his sweet little face again, and I turned back around....bent down, and rubbed him on his ears, as he gave me several big kisses on the cheek, and told him how much I was sure gonna miss him. But goodness...how could you not fall in love, and miss this adorable little guy!!!

I've never been much of one for little dogs. But, Buddy, and his breed stole my heart. I'd never hesitate to own one. He is a King Charles Spaniel.

So...we got in the car...and talked along the way. He mentioned it would be his last Friday night in Columbia...and replied, "kinda sad". And then told me he had tried not to think about it...that he gets that way sometimes about things. I'm assuming he meant sentimental. We got to uhaul, and he quickly got out...as I looked over, and told him, "take care".... and then told him that I had really enjoy it. Working for him, that is...and he smiled and said... "so have I". So...I watched him walk off...and I drove away. I'm sure before long, I'll be able to think about yesterday...saying good bye to Aaron, and Buddy...without it bringing tears to my eyes, like it is now. I enjoyed the job...it wasn't bad at all, but I can't really say that I'll miss it. What I am going to miss, are the friendships I made, with a young man, and his dog. Shoot...we go through Granite City, IL, all the time, on our way to Indiana...so I'm sure the next time we head that way, there just might be a possiblity, that we could stop in and say "Hello".

So, today, after working myself 1/2 to death last week, helping Aaron pack, I was so tired, and it was really great not to have to get up this morning...or at least, until I wanted. Lee woke me up about 8:30, and told me he was leaving for work, and I mumbled a few things...that I'd call him later, not to forget his cell, which he's done the past 2 days. Next thing I know, I woke up, looked at the clock, and it was 9:30. The bed did feel really good, but, I knew there were some things I needed to do, and some before noon, so I opted to get outta bed, so I could get started on my day. I poured some coffee...and drug myself upstairs to the puter, to see what had been going on while I was sleeping. I guess it was a little before 11, when I finally got myself up and going, so I could be at the bank before noon, which is just a couple blocks from our house. I ran to Goodwill, Kohls...Wal Mart, Grocery store, and then headed back home, getting here around 2. I never could find the underware for Lee at Kohls that I needed...in the size that is, so after them telling me last night, that they didn't even have any idea when they were going to get any in, or IF they were, I made the decision last night to exchange them for something diff. So...finally, since Christmas...more than a month, I finally got that done. Then I headed across the street to wal mart, to pick up a few things there I needed. I made a killin' at Goodwill. I found Lee a nice jogging suit(tomorrow is his birthday), and 5 beautiful shirts! Oh, and forgot I also made a stop at Macy's...and actually found the underware that Lee wanted, so got him some extra...since we never could get the others. Anyway...Lee loves that stuff from the 2nd hand shops. You can find sooooooooo much. All the shirts I found were namebrand...one was Hillfigger and now for the life of me can't remember the others. Chaps, might have been one. Anyway, I paid $18 for all the shirts, plus the jogging suit(2pc.). Any 1 of those items, would have been more than that!!!! The cheapest shirt I got, would have been $30 or so...I think it was Arrow. After I got home, I realize that there were a couple of things that I could have gotten at the store...some I didn't think about at the time, and some I wasn't aware we really needed, but it's nothing too desperate. Our best friend Cheri is going to be here this evening. She likes creamer in her coffee, and Lee uses milk. I wished I would have remember to pick some up. That way I'd always have it when she came to visit. I may just give Lee a call, and have him stop to pick some up on his way home. I don't wanna have to get out again.

So, once I got home, I needed to do a little bit of picking up, before Cheri got here. I had started a load of laundry before I left, so I did all that switching around, and started another, got my kitchen cleaned, and the living room vacumed, and a few clean clothes folded, hung-up, and put away. She should be here in about 2 1/2 hours. Whe was leaving around 3. She'll probably be here about an hour before Lee gets home. I had said something to Landon about coming over with the kids tonight, but I haven't heard from him yet. He did have to work. I may give Moriah a call in a bit, and see if they're going to come over. Whether they come or not, I think I'm just going to order pizzas for supper. Lee and Cheri are going to be working on their Team National tonight, or we'd go out. This will be quick, and they can hopefully get some work done.

Well, guess I'll head outta here, see if I can get ahold of Landon, and give Lee a call about the creamer. I hope you guys have a great evening coming up...or day, to some that will receive this. Take care..

Much love,
Lev
