Wednesday, October 22, 2025 We so slept in, then Benjamin came in and we all chatted. Morning chats are good chats. The kitten brothers were having a big rest before we left. Benjamin and I went to the Vanilla Bean, a cooking store that carries a lot of cookie cutters. We did not find a
Tuesday, October 21, 2025 We are on vacation to Wisconsin. I remembered McDonald’s Boo Buckets started today, so did a happy meal stop instead of a rest area. It was delightful. There were stickers.

Thursday, October 16, 2025 It is MEA break (MN educator association). We have two days off in the middle of October every year for teacher convention.

Wednesday, October 15, 2025 I planned my covid vaccine for yesterday so I could be sick today (no school). I was delighted to wake up feeling fine. It wasn’t too surprising that I sort of sank throughout the morning and spent the rest of the day sleeping and resting. My Bedjet – the thing that
Tuesday, October 14, 2025 Considering the number of places we are planning to visit in the next month, we thought it prudent to get Covid and flu shots. Our insurance has been messed up since we started COBRA September 1st, so we had to pay a bunch. I considered just bailing, then thought about how
