It's been a crazy week. It's been a good week. It's been a bad week.
My mom is in the hospital. She'll be fine. It's more about antibiotic treatments and less about anything permanent, so don't fret. However, it's these times that bring out the worst in everyone. Why is that?
On the other side of that coin, we hosted two get-togethers at the house this week. Dear friends from our previous employer (where Cynical and I once worked together) joined us in christening our house yet again. . . this time with pizza, margaritas and the most incredible layered dip. (Yes, I am including what we ate, it was THAT good.) I am still talking about that dip. The next day I hosted my buddies from work in an impromptu tour and luncheon. It's so wonderful to share your home with others, to open it up to them.
Work has been a tad trying and I've found my feelings being a tad hurt. I hate that, getting your feeling hurt at work, it's supposed to be all business and no feelings. Sometimes that's just not possible.
I finished a book I've been trying to read for months, The Myth of You and Me. It's not that it wasn't good, it's that concentration has been a luxury and not a common thing. I've been distracted with the house, errands, project and summer.
Speaking of summer, it's gotten warm again and our time on the porch is limited. I already miss sitting out there. I know Cynical does as well. I'm now holding out until fall weather begins to creep in. I am encouraged by the fact I swept golden leaves off our porch last night.
I love my home. I don't know if I've said it that way. It's not about fancy. It's not about pride. It's about feeling like it's home. Now if I can just get the house blessing party planned, we might just have a big ole memory to tuck away.
And today we'll juggle our time between a visit by Cynical's parents and a few visits to the hospital. Wish us and them well.

I hope your mom is doing ok and gets home soon.
Sending good vibes your way!
I get my feelings hurt at work as well and I tell myself that it's silly because it's just supposed to be work... but it's still hard. I try to leave work as a 8-5 but it's difficult, especially when it seems to linger in my home.
Hope everything is going OK.
Wow, it sounds like you have had a very full week of ups and downs. Your GTG's with friends sound great. The love of your cozy home definitely shows in your writing, it's awesome that you feel so comforted in the space you will spend most of your time in.
Lots of well wishes and positive blessings being sent.
