When it comes to procrastination, I’ve got it down pat! Although it’s not a feature that belongs solely to Librans, I like to blame it on my astrological sign. 
I finally got the laundry room done and organized again… 
It’s been a mess again for over a month. I got it nice and tidy and organized about a week after we moved here (first week of May) and hubby had messed it up since (of course, I wouldn’t expect otherwise), but now I’ve got the tools where he won’t have to move shit in order to get to them, they are easily accessible. It was driving me nuts every time I went in there to do laundry.
It didn’t take long this time compared to the first time since I was setting everything up then and it was a new space…. so since it didn’t take long, it made me wonder why I didn’t do it earlier. LOL I guess that’s just the procrastinator in me…
I don’t know how many things I avoid, sometimes not on purpose, sometimes I just don’t have the time, but when I do get projects done that I’ve been meaning to get to, I’d wish I got em done earlier because of the short time it took. I wish I could keep that thought whenever I avoid something…. Maybe I should write it on a post it note. 
I’d like to wish all my wonderful American friends an awesome and safe 4th of July weekend!! I wish I was with you all to help you celebrate! My Canada Day was extremely uneventful! 
So now… if you don’t mind… I’m sure I can find something else to do that I’ve been procrastinating on! 
*hugs to you all*

I just had to share this… It was too funny to keep to myself! I hope you find laughter in it too! 
Dearest Redneck Son,
I’m writing this slow because I know you can’t read fast. We don’t live where we did when you left home. Your dad read in the newspaper that most accidents happen within 20 miles of your home, so we moved. I won’t be able to send you the address because the last West Virginia family that lived here took the house numbers when they moved so they wouldn’t have to change their address.
This place is really nice. It even has a washing machine. I’m not sure about it. I put a load of clothes in and pulled the chain. We haven’t seen them since.
The weather isn’t bad here. It only rained twice last week; the first time for three days and the second time for four days.
About that coat you wanted me to send; your Uncle Billy Bob said it would be too heavy to send in the mail with the buttons on, so we cut them off and put them in the pockets.
Bubba locked his keys in the car yesterday. We were really worried because it took him two hours to get me and your father out.
Your sister had a baby this morning, but I haven’t found out what it is yet so I don’t know if you are an aunt or uncle.
Uncle Bobby Ray fell into a whiskey vat last week. Some men tried to pull him out but he fought them off and drowned. We had him cremated, he burned for three days.
Three of your friends went off a bridge in a pickup truck. Butch was driving. He rolled down the window and swam to safety. Your other two friends were in the back. They drowned because they couldn’t get the tailgate down!
There isn’t much more news at this time. Nothing much out of the normal has happened.
Your Favorite Aunt,
Mom

A Moment for You
It’s time to make choices that bring you joy
Happiness doesn’t just happen.
It arises from simple decisions we can all make.
So starting today, decide to look at problems as temporary instead of insurmountable.
Decide to be as kind to yourself as you are to others.
Decide to let go of worries, instead of letting them hold onto you.
Decide to be happy.
No one deserves it more!

My mom’s dog, Muffin, who’s 5 yrs old and is a cross between a chihuahua and a papillon, has been having some bladder problems for about 3 weeks or so now. She’s never been fixed and never been pregnant. She’s been having trouble “going”. Finally, my mom decided to go to the vet and go check out what was going on and what was going to have to be done to fix the problem. Turns out, she’s got bladder stones. She’s been “prescribed” (do animals get prescriptions? 
) some antibiotics of some kind to help break down as many as the stones as possible. Unfortunately, my mom was told they may not all break down because some may be calcium stones and supposedly don’t break down.

I’ve been wanting to get to walking more often, but something always gets in the way. Sometimes the weather, sometimes my anemia is acting up and I just don’t feel well, and sometimes, I’ll admit, I’m just plain lazy. I know walking is good for me as I continuously get back strength from it, and that’s just what I need more than anything… and to lose weight obviously, but I’ll settle for less aches and getting fit right now.
