March is supposed to come in like a lion. Roaring, angry, aggressive. It has. As I sit here typing away, a storm is raging outside, I’m fighting the urge to eat the box of Girl Scout Cookies in my kitchen, and I’m trying my best to keep my eyes open, and my attitude positive.
February kicked my ass in so many ways. I was able to meet all of my goals- getting Wisteria under contract, I had a meeting with a colleague to discuss advancing myself education-wise, and I’ve ordered new frames for the upstairs hall. However, also in February, Daddy was diagnosed with cancer, faught a quick battle, and died.
My dad- the toughest guy I’ve ever known- is gone. I don’t think it’s quite registered yet. I know I haven’t mourned. I’ve cried, but not since the day of the funeral, and even then, it was just a few tears. I haven’t processed things enough yet to post about all of the crazy emotions I’m feeling… perhaps that’s a goal for March. I promise, though, soon, I’ll divulge. For now, I’m trying to focus on keeping busy, and on moving forward.
In like a lion.
Chicago
The Man’s annual pigrimage to the Windy City had a change in dates this year. Instead of heading north for pizza and friends and shopping, then rushing home the week of Derby so I can move non-stop until it’s over, we’ll be leaving next Wednesday for 4 nights of Chicago-ing. I can taste the Giordano’s now.
Spring Bay
I picked up a set of new clients on Saturday. I’ll be listing their home on Spring Bay, then helping them house-hunt for a more suitable home. After seeing their taste, and hearing what they’re looking for, I have a feeling that this particular purchase will be a gorgeous one!
Rear Yard
Sheesh!! How many times will you guys have to hear about my stinking yard? Well, NO MORE! All of my old pavers were ripped out today. So was the old flowerbed. The entire yard was tilled, graded, and prepped for fresh sod to make an appearance tomorrow. I’m so excited!! Hopefully, this warm weather sticks around, and I can get my planters done by the end of the month.
Out like a lamb.
As I move through the remainder of this month, I ask that you keep sending good thoughts and lots of love this way. There are big changes coming soon, and I know I’m going to be a little out of my element. I promise, friends, I’ll open up about all of that soon.
