Life is finally going good! In fact I am feeling so lucky I actually bought a mega millions lottery ticket. First time in my life buying a lottery ticket. I have no idea what I would do if I won all that money. It's an amount that I can't even fathom!

Work is great! I love my job! The people are pretty good too. My co-workers call me the ninja. Because I am quiet but when I let something out, it's a zinger. So now I walk the halls doing karate moves. LOL

Dakota is finally adjusting to me working again. I think it helps that it is a monday thru friday job. He leaves for school when I leave for work. And he is only at the babysitter for an hour before I get there.

I am really loving my jeep! I feel very safe in it and I can really wheel that thing around! I have found that setting the cruise control really helps with gas usage. I am not minding the money I pour into the tank because I love this vehicle. I am anxious for hot weather so I can open the roof!

I also had a surprise this week. Someone apologized to me, very sincerely I might add. It was very unexpected but definitely appreciated. It healed an old wound. No, unfortunately it was not from my stepson, not sure if I have mentioned that story to you here. If I haven't, let me know and I will give you all the gory details.

Suffice it to say, if I win the lottery, he nor his wife will get any money. Their daughter, however, will have a trust fund. She can't help who her parents are. And even though she doesn't know me, she is still my grandchild.

I have lost 15 pounds since January, a good start. But I have not been keeping my diabetes in check. I will be grocery shopping this weekend and stocking up on 'good' foods. I was finally able to get some more of the test strips. I had been out since February, but they are expensive!

I feel a new confidence within me, there is a smile on my face and my friends say I am glowing! Life has been treating me well this year. Tomorrow we are celebrating my mom's birthday. She will be 88 this year. She has alzheimer's and it's very hard to see her in this condition. She has always been my hero, my best friend, the person I would give my life for.

enjoy your weekend!
