Monday

Finally it's back to full routine from the holidays! I love the holidays but somehow my life gets so scattered! Maybe scattered isn't quite the word to use here but just different focus. This year on top of the holiday activities Natalie moved back home. It has taken us weeks to actually get her living stuff out of the garage and assimilated back into the house in some sort of fashion that doesn't look and feel like chaos! Today she is back in college and our routine for the next couple of months begins. I have to admit that even though the focus overshadowed the holidays at times the whole transition so far has gone smoother than anticipated. It probably keeps me on my toes and mentally sharp to have to adjust to new routines and schedules.... like 5 cats! There have been a few tussels and one emergency vet visit but for the most part the cats have begun to adjust from the stress of moving and becoming part of a new pack. So, I will meditate, exercise, water my plants, and begin planning for spring and summer vacation trips! Go routines!!!!!!
