Long weekends

It's Sunday evening and I've got tomorrow off and, boy, I just love that. Not that I don't like my job, cuz I do. But I like play time the best. Friday we had our friends to dinner and cards. First time we've had "guests" to our new home since we moved in in October. Funny how that made it feel so much more like a real home to me. We had a blast. Yesterday was lazy, lazy, lazy. My stomach wasn't feeling too well (again) and that's getting so old. I guess I'm going to have to see my doctor about it, since it doesn't seem to want to go away. Ugh.
Today we went to a renewal of vows of a co-worker I like. I'd RSVP'd a long time ago, so couldn't change things to join my Red Hat group to celebrate winning first prize in the parade. I'm looking at Empress Bee's photos and feeling just a little left out. But the wedding/renewal was nice.
I'm more balanced out today, after the sad/angry feelings with the house and Mr. Addict. I'd like to be able to hang onto this serenity easier; want to get ALL BETTER RIGHT NOW. But I'm learning to appreciate the good days; I'm learning to recognize the signs of healing.
My kitties help with that a lot. Our three furry friends are a delight to DC and me. They are so loving and cute and soft and love-us-no-matter-what. Their antics and individual personalities endlessly entertain me. Pets really are good for you. I wish I knew how to post photos, cuz I'd bore you with photos of my babies. Ha ha!
Our friends from Friday night help with the healing too. A few months ago I wouldn't have had the energy or willingness to entertain. Depression will do that to you. Thank God it's better now. Wore my Mom's dress today to the wedding and her beautiful deep red shoes. Got compliments on the outfit. She was a classy dresser, and it felt good to wear her things. Not painful, just good and right. I'll never get over missing her, but I can welcome the healing from never being able to think of her without scorching pain.
I think she's smiling down at me.
