I'm pretty good, myself. Busy, busy, busy, as always, but also happy. :-)
Tomorrow is Veteran's Day, so we actually have the day off--this is the first real "holiday" we've had since the school year started. Every other day "off" has really been a workday thus far. Not that I'm complaining, it's just an observation.
But tomorrow, I get to go and visit the lovely Linda in her awesome new building now that everyone is settled in, and we're going to go to lunch, too, which will also be nice. So I'll get to sleep in a little, but the day won't be wasted, which is a good thing.
I've been really enjoying cooking for myself lately. I've made chicken, pork chops, fish, my own version of hamburger helper, and lots of other stuff like stuffing, sweet potatoes, and fried potatoes. Yum! It's a confidence booster, really, every time that I get a new dish done right.
This weekend I have a date with my parents to head to the Raleigh Farmers' Market so that I can get some yummy fresh veggies. I'm really excited to see what's there, especially given my newfound confidence in the kitchen.
I know I should probably write more, and I know I'll think of more I want to write about later, but for now, just know that I'm still smiling and things are looking just as good as ever.
I hope things are looking equally positive wherever you may be.
Enjoy your Veterans' Day, and take some time to really appreciate the freedom you have. Remember who earned it and be thankful!
Until next time,
♥ Marlee
In the beginning of a change, the patriot is a scarce man, and brave, and hated and scorned. When his cause succeeds, the timid join him, for then it costs nothing to be a patriot. ~Mark Twain, Notebook, 1935
