And another Monday bites the dust

I took this picture yesterday of this tree across the street from me. The setting sun shines down the cross street and lights up this already flaming tree.
Today was an interesting day. Jay went to the dr who took a look and said Jay was ready to start preventive treatment. It was a load off my mind. Some days I think about jay's illness, some days I don't, but it's always there, lurking in the back of my mind. I am well aware that both our lives can change in an instant with one word from the dr. Oh I can't even begin to say how much I did not want to hear that word. I can't even type it.
But he's ok, for now.
I sealed this big airspace around the back door. Hard to believe we lived here 10 years and never did these things before. I look at the work on the house I have done and I'm so proud and at the same time, I'm ashamed that I did nto do these things years ago. That I let the house get more decayed, before doing these small and easy repairs.
I tried to get some real work done, like my job sort of stuff, but one of the parts needed to sit, so I did not get much done. I was going to work on some writing projects, but Diva called about the tv show. We talked for nearly 2 hours. She had to do some creative stuff and I have to say I like her ideas. The main thing is to create buzz and get the public to watch the show. It would have been great to have a US network pick it up, but she makes sense and who knows it might work out for the better.
Then a woman going for her master's called me to interview me for her thesis. Another 2 hour call. But it was helpful for me as she really liked my writing ideas. It was first real feedback I have gotten from the "general public." I need to write that first story. That's the one.
I listed another item on ebay. Some gloves I've had.
But tommorrow the slow days end. I've got to get busy with my journalism again. Real busy. I can't miss these opportunities I'm handed.
I love my life. I love my husband, tho our marriage is far from ideal. I love my friends. Sure a child to share it with would make it perfect, and maybe someday it will happen, but for now, it's one day at a time. Looking past the problems to the beauty that lies all around. That one word, it can change so much.
