Well I am borrowing my good friend Claudia’a lap top and am slowly getting back to emails , messages and planning my next blog post. I have ideas whirling around in my head but they have not reached my finger tips . The past few weeks , well months maybe have been very tough. I am feeling quiet overwhelmed but haven’t found a way out yet. I do feel like I am reaching the surface though, that it is in reach.  I have been in a rut and mostly just working. I think night shifts are catching up with me. I miss Cole. We work opposite shifts, Cole works Monday through Friday, and I work Thursday to Sunday nights and sleep while Cole is off. On my days off I stay home or hang out with Claudia. Its just the same every week. Its been hard to keep active or even feel happy but I am dealing and I am carrying on.  I did got swimming with Katie and it was fantastic to be in the water very therapeutic. It was also a snow day we got 4 inches of fresh powdery snow. So in the spirit of the season I have been busying myself with decorating and cleaning the house, cooking and Christmas shopping. I just have Cole left to do now. His main gift and stocking stuffers.

Tonight is my Friday at work so when I go home I am off for a couple days. I plan to finish up my shopping and the house needs al ot of cleaning. we had a Christmas party on Saturday evening before work. Claudia , Casey, Tom, Cole, Rae-Anne and Katie. We made lots of fresh appys, veggies, cookies, hot chocolate, apple cider, tea, spring rolls, and it was a great time. It was very nice to socialize with friends and relax.  So I am going to step back and take a little time on this next set of days off and relax, spend time with Cole, enjoy our beautiful Christmas tree, and our decorations, spend time with friends , go to the gym, go swimming, baking and cooking and spend time with Claudia.

I am going to continue to think about my next blog post and try to coax it into words . I haven’t written in some time I know I just havent found the words but they are there swirling around beginning to take shapes as sentences. so be sure to check back soon.

I look forward to re connecting to the PKU community and keeping this more up to date!
