Don't Ask Me Why - I Just Did

Wow, three weeks since I have posted to my Blog.  Time goes fast.  I have been using my iPad so much lately and it's hard to type long blogs on it.  So, I am on my Netbook right now...and posting to my Blog...obviously.

Things are going well in my life right now.  There are rumors that the Kirby House has sold.  That is not true.  I am pursuing opportunities for my future and as they come to fruition I write about them.  This Blog has been a "God-send" to me.  I have been reading my blog from 2010...and WOW.  How sick and in pain I was three years ago.  It's actually hard to believe that I felt so horrible then.  I mean, I understand it, but I just feel so much more at peace now.  My grief counselor was so fantastic.  I am where I am because of her and all my friends and family.

I have no vacations planned this year.  I am just enjoying the winter "guest free."  Drew, Friedl, Tom and I have been "hanging out" seeing movies, making dinners, etc.  It's been nice.  Soon I will be busy again and wont have the time to enjoy the sleeping in and "playing with friends."

I went to Detroit a couple weeks ago.  Spent four nights at my mom's house, the longest ever!  It was so nice.  Since I went on a weekend I was able to spend time with the WHOLE family.  When I visit during the week someone is always working or school or whatever.  My brother and sister-in-law had dinner on Saturday and we were ALL together.  It was so nice I actually cried.

We have seen some movies...Hobbit, This is 40, Zero Dark Thirty, Hope Springs Eternal, Lincoln, Lincoln the Vampire Hunter, etc.  The one that shocked me the most was "Lincoln the Vampire Hunter."  Drew rented it and I said "you can watch it yourselve, that is stupid."  Well, I sat down and watched it and loved it!  Don't ask me why, I just did. - Jimmy

One Big Happy Family

Well, three years ago today I had Ray's funeral.  It was so beautiful.  The terrible snow storm made a mess for everyone who attended, but I was so impressed by the turn out.  It shows you how much people loved Ray.  I was just watching a video of him I took when he was in the hospital and I took Wiley to see him.  It was so nice to see him, but especially to hear his voice!

Today is also my late brother David's birthday.  He died July 29, 2007.  So it is now coming on the sixth year anniversary of his death. 

I've been feeling quite good about things lately.  I have some stress going on right now, but I've got a plan and a direction.  That makes me feel great.  As I sit here and type, Jack is laying next to me on a stool.  He loves his "daddy!" 

Got most Christmas decorations down.  Just have to take the ornaments off the two trees and get them down.  I will probably do that tomorrow.  Unless I sub. 

I plan a visit to see my mom next week in Detroit.  It will be so nice to see her and the rest of my family.  I haven't seen any of them since this summer. 

The cats are doing great.  They are getting along just fine with Jack.  Even Moscow has quit her "strike" and has come downstairs to sleep with me in spite of Jack being in the room.  Wiley is the best with him though.  He doesn't even mind sleeping next to him.  One big happy family. - Jimmy
