A Better Day

I have worked hard to stay busy today and it has gone much better than I had expected. I still miss my dad, but I know he doesn't miss this life. One day I'll see him again.

In the meantime, I ran some errands, scheduled my next big scrapbooking event at the venue (my first-choice date was available), mailed a package to the sailor who is deploying, picked up a few groceries, went with my daughter to drop off her car for an oil change and then she and I headed to the nursery to buy flowers for the patio. When we got back, I ate lunch while we watched an old episode of NCIS and then went outside and put all those flowers in the pots. Only one glitch in that task - I got flowers for the two hanging baskets on the porch, only to discover I don't have any baskets. Hmmm. Can't really explain that, but I called my husband and asked him to stop and get a couple on his way home tonight.

So I got a lot done, even if the reason was just to avoid the realities of tough times, but I think that's a good method of treating the doldrums.
