Blissful Shelley

Woke up with Tim (7 AM).  Lounged in bed till about 7:30 while he showered and got ready for work.  Then I got up and turned on the sprinkler in the back yard.  Watered the seeds in the front side yard.
Showered, ate, went to my 9 AM appointment at texas workforce commission for unemployment.  Also requested payment.  Talked to a vet rep and got some job positions I can apply for.  Came home, made some lunch.  Looked up jobs to apply for.  Called the Pastor at Trinity Lutheran Church in Des Moines and asked him to reach out to my Grandma.  Found out Grandpa was put in hospice care on friday because of his Parkinsons.

Returned calls to Sean from Fortitude, Called Chris from Modis IT again.  Bleh, I need a dang job!!

Dentist appointment at 4 today to have my retainer adjusted.

Yesterday after church, one of the ladies that we have met during bible study class offered to take us to lunch. She wanted to do it because she was so excited about my baptism and confirmation that is coming up this Sunday. She is such a sweet lady, at 86 years old, she is a widow and doesn’t have any family nearby. I don’t know much about her yet, but I would like to spend more time getting to know her. We invited her to the fellowship meal that is being held for the confirmation group on Sunday, after the service. She was so excited and honored, she said no one has ever done anything like that for her.

My hands have been sore the last few days, the muscles (I think) in my palm, under my pinky fingers. The only thing I can think could have caused it is squezzing some hand clippers on Friday, trying to cut back some tree branches. They were so long and heavy, they were hanging to the ground! I’m not sure what else it could be, but I hope it starts healing soon, my hands are really sore!

We ordered my wedding set yesterday too. I’m so excited! We will order his very soon. Call me materialistic if you want, but I can’t wait to wear that engagement ring and show everyone that I have a great man who wants to grow old with me! We might be going to PA in August for a small reunion with his family, and he mentioned getting married there. We haven’t talked about it in depth yet, but it is an idea!

I have been thinking about shutting down this site, and starting a new one to reflect the new me, but for now I’ve decided to keep it here. It is a part of me, my past experiences, and I don’t want to forget that part of my life. For my close friends who read this, please don’t be ‘put off’ by the new me. I still have the same sort of fantasies, I still have toys…. I just don’t actively live the D/s lifestyle anymore. I am about to be engaged to a vanilla man. I go to church every Sunday. I will be baptized this Sunday, and I am happier that I have ever been in life.

I am still looking for a job, it has been almost 3 weeks now. Something is bound to pan out soon!

I love this template, it just calls to me! 

So, we have moved into a rental home.  We are getting engaged/married sometime in the near future.  We just ordered rings, but we haven’t really set a date yet.  Next week I am getting baptised and confirmed at my chuch.  Things are going well, the only thing that could improve is that I need a job!!!  I got fired 2 1/2 weeks ago for taking a call on my cell phone about another job, while at work.  Bleh… how come I always end up working for the assholes and idiots!?
