Spoiled and Other Things

OK.. So I am spoiled we all know this.. but, last night we found out I am not the most spoiled creature in this house, Not even close.

We finally got our bed back together, those of you that read Ron's blog know about the water bed side popping off and subsequent repair efforts. Last night I was laying in my bed enjoying having the comfort of my water bed back and not having to sleep in Chella's rock hard bed, I was reading a book and minding my business, Ron stuck his head in the door and started chuckling. I didn't have a clue what he thought was amusing until he said "Look at Dusty" and there he was, under the cover with his big furry head on Ron's pillow peeping out as if to say " Yes I am so happy to have MY bed back." I turned on my other side and he put his paw on my shoulder and dozed happily back to sleep. That is spoiled!! Both of the dogs are happy to have the bed back they are even willing to let us sleep in it.

In other things. I was approved for my disability. It isn't much per month but at least I will have some feeling of contributing to the household financially. The best part in a way though it the vindication. I have known that my back is unstable, I have known what type pain I deal with on a daily basis, I haven't been sitting on my butt because I am lazy or because it is all in my head. Finally the SSA has determined what I already knew.

I am still not smoking and still not missing it. I feel really good about quitting and I have discovered a bonus, if I had known that my voice would improve from quitting, I would have done it a long time ago. I started smoking so young that I don't remember how my voice sounded back then but I do know what it sounds like now. Not that I am a superstar by any means but I love to sing and I have noticed a big improvement.

Well can't think of much else to write about today. So I think I will get off here and go back to reading my book. Lake News by Barbara Delinsky. It is really good I just started reading her last year and have found most of her books to be good. I would highly recommend The Vineyard though it is one of the best books I have read in a really long time.

Y'all have fun

I am so happy for you - on the SSA front. It's about time they finally saw the light!! You've been through so much...they should've approved it long ago! But glad it's finally done!

I am SO proud of you about not smoking! That's a huge accomplishment...and not the easiest thing in the world. Isn't the improved voice great? Are you also enjoying improved sense of smell and taste? :-) I noticed that pretty quick...(I always had a K9 nose anyway lol but it just got even better). Every day you don't smoke, that's another day you can enjoy all the joy, love and beauty in your life...your sweet hubby, grandbabies, kids, etc. ****HUGS**** Welcome to the club sister.

Love you girl. Am hoping to make it to KY late this month...once details are for sure, will be emailing you all! :-)
