Boy has it been one hell of a year so far. So much has gone on and happened and it’s only March.
Looking back at it all, I am not quite sure what to think of it all.
Looking back, I realize how many monument us decisions I have made and how I have put them into motion. I have decided what it is that I want. I have also decided that some distractions that pop up along the way can be good ways to learn a lot about yourself. I now understand to what extent my tendency to be too trusting can affect me. I realize that I wear my heart on my sleeve and that sometimes I think with my heart instead of my head. I still don’t feel that this is so much a bad thing, just that I need to balance it a bit more with my head. Also, some things are worth waiting for… no matter how impatient I may get. (I know what you’re thinking… Allison- impatient? Never! Kidding…) I need to focus more on myself and less on aspects of others. As I write that, I know it will sounds very egocentric, but not to those that understand what I mean with my “urge to save others”
With regards to day-to-day drama, things have also been rather interesting. I called my Grimsby last weekend as I was ironing and bored and knew that she would still be up as well. After talking to her for a few minutes, she handed the phone to my grandfather. I was a little hesitant as typically she will say “Here, talk to Allison (or whoever) as she hands him the phone. Given his track record lately of being hesitant or not knowing who family members are, I was worried that she didn’t include her normal clarification. For the first few minutes of our conversation, he gave away nothing that acknowledged he knew who I was. Then out of the blue, he asked about Brian…. Never been so happy to hear that name lately, but yeah… Also, I was really glad that I got to talk to Grimsby. I haven’t seen or talked to her nearly enough lately. Also, she managed to really surprise me with her reaction to everything going on as of late… That feisty lady is full of surprises lately. No surprise where I got it then.
As for the rest of my family, everything else is going well and my mom finally has a scheduled date for her knee replacement. She is thrilled, and I must say I am too!
Unfortunately I seem to have given her my illness, whatever it may be. After leaving work early on Tuesday, I was home for the rest of the week… I am now going stir crazy. Thankfully I am meeting up with James and Johnny tonight whom I have not seen in far too long. Unfortunately, we will be surviving this weekend with only one vehicle as we have to wait until Monday to meet with the insurance adjuster so they can decide whether to repair or total out the Jeep after Brian’s accident last night due to our lovely March weather… Guess it’s sticking with the “in like a lamb, out like a lion” tenet… lucky us!
