Marxwell's House

I believe we'll have this weekend to relax and chill. The weather calls for rain later today, hopefully, because the plants need it desperately. Shelby is still feeling bad after a week of this bronchial infection, even with the meds that we got from urgent care last Sunday. Besides the cough, sore throat, exhaustion, and occasional fever, her back ache and sciatic nerve issues have gotten worse. We have a doctor's appointment set up for Tuesday, so hopefully we can get things squared away.

Work-wise, it looks like gears may be turning at Ecos, which will hopefully bring about some changes for us. I feel like a broken record with the "hope something happens soon", and "waiting, waiting, waiting"...but our next steps are so hinged on making home in that new place, away from this apartment and hopefully Dayton. I have ideas in my head about ideal locations for home, but it's really all about the hand of fate. And, as far as locations go, I only know what I know. I'm sure there are some awesome places out there that we just haven't seen or experienced. Destiny is a very narrow road at the moment, very different from when we moved to Florida in 2006. Shelby was looking for a job, and I was preparing to quit mine to become a full-time student. Any place was fair game. We picked the area that we wanted to live in. But ultimately, we ended up in Tampa Bay, which was south of our dream zone. It was an awesome relocation! So, what does it all mean? There's a road that's paved for us, and although we're not afraid to clear our own path, life seems to have us where it wants us, and has given us enough hope that it will lead us to bigger and better things on this road. So we wait, we clean, we prepare for that time when life gives us the opportunity to grow, to farm, to teach, to make a future. In the meantime, the house is getting in shape, the "honey do" list is getting shorter, and we're getting all of our ducks in a row. We're chugging along, making the best of our time here and dreaming a lot of dreams.
