Back to Reality

Posted on by Penny Wilson Writes

I’ve been back at work for just a couple of days now.  The time off was good for me.  I didn’t realize how much I actually needed the time away.  I feel refreshed and can look at things at the office with a clear head.

It will take me a little while to get back into the swing of things.  I sort of feel like I need to be retrained!  I haven’t taken this much time away from work in a Long time!  But the pieces are falling into place.

I’m still adjusting to the new house with my morning routine.  I haven’t quite got that down yet.  My travel time to work is just a little longer.  (so worth it!) So I need to get that figured out.

While I was off work, my mind has been percolating on a couple of story ideas.  So I am itching to sit down and really dig into these plots!  Soon!!

You should be seeing a bit more of me here now.  I’ve just about caught my breath. I miss you guys!

Thank you for joining me on this journey!  Penny ❤

A Good Tired

Posted on by Penny Wilson Writes

Have you ever heard someone say that they were tired, but it was a Good Tired?  That’s how I feel.  I’m getting settled in my new home and I am loving it!  Although there is still a lot to do, I’m making good progress.  I go to bed Very Tired at night and sleep like the dead.  🙂  But it is a Very happy and satisfied tired.

I’m glad that I’ve taken some time off to get settled.  By the time I go back to work, I won’t be done, but I’ll have made a good dent in things.

My writing has taken a back seat for the time being.  But I will be back and posting again soon.

I am looking forward to creating my little writing/office oasis.  I’ve not had a real designated place to write so designing this space is going to be fun.

Thank you for joining me on this journey!  Penny  ❤

Moving Day!!

Posted on by Penny Wilson Writes

*This was supposed to have posted on Friday , the 14th.  It was my first attempt at scheduling a post ahead of time.  Apparently I did something wrong.  sigh…  No matter, I’ve moved!  I’m sore and tired, but getting settled in.  I’ve taken some vacation time to get things done here.  I am so, so happy!  

It’s finally Moving Day!!  It’s been a long time coming, but today is the day that I finally move into my home!!

I’ve got boxes stacked in every room.  I’ve been living out of a box for several days now.  I’ve been trying to eat up what I have in my fridge so that I don’t have to transport any more refrigerated items than I have to.  Even the coffee pot is packed!  Horrors!!  🙂

So that my closets are ready to move, I’ve had to plan out exactly what I will be wearing for several days.

At the new place, I’ve scrubbed the bathroom and the kitchen.  I lined the shelves in the kitchen and I’ve had the carpets shampooed throughout the house.  I purchased and assembled some storage shelves for the garage.  I’ve had some trees trimmed in the yard and the lawn mowed.

I’ve accomplished a lot!

Around noon, my Big Brother will be at the house to install new door locks for me.  (his housewarming gift)  He will also be bringing a picnic lunch for us that my sweet sister-in-law has prepared.

I’m as ready as I can be and I keep feeling like pinching myself because of all of the wonderful Blessings that are taking place in my life right now!

Wish me luck!  Thank you for joining me on this journey!  Penny  ❤

Getting Ready to Get Ready….

Posted on by Penny Wilson Writes

I’m sorry that I haven’t posted in a while.  Between getting the new location ready, work and packing and organizing things for the move, I am just bone tired.  I know it will all be worth it, but I’m wore down to a nub.  🙂  My move date is the 14th, so this will be my last weekend to finish ALL of the packing.

I’ve got piles of mess everywhere, in preparation for the move.  I have looked for something that is already packed a few times.  So everything is pretty much in chaos.  Stressful for me to have my life so disorganized.

I’m not sleeping very well either.  My brain just won’t shut down.  I keep thinking about everything that still needs to be done!

I will get back to a regular posting schedule eventually, but it’s going to be a few weeks.  I will continue to peek in when I can, I miss you guys!

Thanks for joining me on this journey!  Penny ❤

The American Dream

Posted on by Penny Wilson Writes

I have once again achieved the American Dream.  I closed on the house yesterday!  So after signing my life away, I am now in debt up to my eyeballs!  A true American dream!  🙂

I have been a very busy girl lately.  So please forgive my absence.  Things are progressing along.  I’m headed to the house this evening to take some measurements.  There is still a LOT to do before I move.  But I am just thrilled!

Yesterday morning, bright and early, I was at City Hall, waiting for the doors to open so I could get my water account set up with the city of Burleson.  While waiting, I had a few minutes to explore the immediate area.  The beautiful clock in the picture above is in “Old Town” Burleson, TX and immediately reminded me of my dear friend Audrey and her wonderful blog Minnesota Prairie Roots and photographs that you can find HERE.  She takes amazing pictures of small-town life and recently took a picture of an old clock similar to the one in the picture above.  Be sure to take a few minutes to visit her blog.  You won’t be disappointed!

I could have taken a picture of the stacks of boxes that I’ve packed or the over-grown lawn at the new place, but I thought you would appreciate the clock picture a lot more.  I will keep you posted as to my progress on the house as I can.

Thanks for being along for the journey!  Penny ❤
