I've been on vacation this week, primarily to help my friend as she recuperates at home with a closed wound fractured hip. While the intent has been for me to help her with projects around the house, that is not what has happened.  I believe I was there for her emotional wellbeing more than anything. 

So, we talked, laughed, and watched movies, some of which I haven't seen before.  Vic is a movie buff and suggested watching JFK, a subsequent JFK documentary called "What the Doctors Saw", Hellfighters (with John Wayne) and Freedom Writers (one of my personal favorites).  

I took her to the doctor Tuesday; she is healing albeit is slowly.  She'll have another 8 weeks of limited movement.  While she isn't pleased about it, she understands what she needs to do and is determined to do it.  

I didn't get much accomplished at home, if anything.  That is alright; I needed some down time for my own wellbeing. 

I've been reading, gardening, hitting the gym, eating (far too much), and sleeping in.   I do love a lazy morning with a good cup of coffee!  While I won't be retiring anytime soon, it is a good reminder of how my life will change when I do pull the plug and retired. 

One of the biggest concerns I have is staying active and not eating too much.  Valid concerns coming from someone who likes to be kept busy and is terrified of gaining weight! LOL   This is also an ironic statement from someone who has gained 15 pounds in the last year.   Time to hustle and get that shit off!

Consequently, I'm going to be starting two new blogs.  Now, you may be thinking, "But Sherry, you hardly write on this blog anymore."  I get it.  You may be right in my 'overcommitting" to writing on three blogs.   But hear me out on this.   One of this is documenting one of my popular posts on Facebook called "Musings of a Working Superwoman".   I don't know how and when I started those posts, but they seem to resonate with people. 

The other blog will be about my continued health journey.  I have no idea what the name will be, but it'll be something catchy.   

I'm doing these extra blogs for keeping my mind active, figures busy, and me out of the refrigerator! :) 

Details coming soon.
