Eventual Homesteader

• Friday, May 9, 2008 - Realizations and Plans

So, being here alone I have had many, many hours to think. Don't act so shocked, I do think occasionally. I have finally decided what to go back to school for. I'm going to go into massage therapy school. I've discussed it with my husband and he thinks it is a great idea. I've been interested in it for a while, but pushed the idea aside for others. We still need to discuss things fully, but we have settled on it as a career path for me.
I feel more calm and settled now, I suppose it helps to have a set plan. Now if we could just get dh's affairs in order and get him a job things would be better.

I've been sick for the last few days. I ended up taking a sick day today, I had severe intestinal distress. I spent much of the day in the bathroom. Not fun. I'm feeling better now, hope to be back to my old self in no time.

It's been raining for a couple days. We need the rain for the gardens, but it is also preventing any more garden work. I haven't been in the garden since Monday. I'm not sure how much more Grandma got put out since then. I just love gardening. There is the most tremendous satisfaction in growing your own food. I'd much rather live on the food I can grow myself than have to shop in a grocery store. I like the idea of being like the "Old Timers" and being self sufficient. I may not be able to raise cows or other livestock, but I'd gladly keep chickens and maybe even goats.

Enough of my rambling. I hope you all have a wonderful weekend. Enjoy your families and relax!
