Good morning my friends. We have arrived at our first interim stop and I am beginning to feel a bit human again.  Things have not gone as planned with the move, but will be okay eventually,  just a bit stressful getting to this point. 😀

We’ll be here about 10 days and then head to our next destination via a few stops to see family and friends along the way. We will be there for about 3 months and that is where I am praying that the gym and pool will be my saving grace at getting my strength and energy back.

OUTSIDE MY WINDOW & THE WEATHER OUTSIDE & WHAT I’M WEARING – The weather is GORGEOUS! It’s supposed to be in the mid 70’s today and guess what? There is no horrible Texas humidity 😀 I have to go to town and get the oil changed so am wearing levis and a blue print blouse instead of the normal summer shorts.

ON THE BREAKFAST PLATE – Green tea and peach yogurt

ON MY MIND / THINGS THAT ARE MAKING ME HAPPY

• my new InstaGram hashtag is #HappinessIsSouthEastTexasInYourRearViewMirror which makes me extremely happy.  As for the rest of it, we’re going to just take it one day at a time for awhile
  
• I also completed my final post (Day 948 aka 2 1/2 years in Purgatory) for the HOUSE from HELL if you are so inclined to read – it is a bit long, but all encompassing.

FAVORITE PHOTO FROM THE CAMERA – we made a stop at Cadillac Ranch – wow what a change from when I was there in the early 90’s! I can’t believe how much trash was left behind!

INSPIRATION

SOMETHING INTERESTING I WATCHED – I enjoyed the Celebrity Boss episode about Deion Sanders reaching out to help at risk youth

AS I LOOK AROUND THE HOUSE / WEEKLY TO DO LIST & HOUSE PROJECTS /  APPOINTMENTS
