Thoughts this week

If things had gone to plan with his job, Robin would have been coming home Friday or Saturday. Would have been nice but the extra time gives me a chance to sort things out in the house a bit more. Fingers crossed I can actually do them! 

This week I've sorted out who I want to stay in touch with. Figured out that some people are just fakers and I don't want to be fake friends with them. It took a couple of months to work it all out, after my Facebook exodus. 

I also decided this afternoon to try to find my lost pen pal, Alex. It's been over 4 years since we stopped writing. The only thing I can do is write to where I've found him online and hope for the best. 

For anyone reading, Alex is a prison inmate in Washington. He's serving time for manslaughter. I decided to write to Native American inmates back in 2006 and we stayed in touch regularly for two years. Things went a bit funny because he seemed to want me to start done sort of relationship with him, which was sad because we really had a connection or at least I thought so. 

I found where he is and will post a letter. I don't have all his details, they open their mail I think so I left a note to the warden or whoever. I hope it gets to him and he responds. He has 4 years left to serve unless he is paroled. 

It's been a tough week. The kids have been hard work and Zane has been completely awful. I haven't liked myself much the last few days :( 

Been doing a bit of shopping but think I need to stop now :/

Also I hate my cat! We have started to let her outside but she still climbs my screens and I am so over it!!

Was wanting to get chickens but now thinking we might get birds instead as they might be easier. 

Embarking on some knitting for gifts as soon as my cotton yarn arrives. Still working on my vest for Brandon with no idea if ill have enough yarn!
