Monday, October 13, 2025 Yep. [I’m really tired.]

Sunday, October 12, 2025 Keith has been working on the new cabinets (and moving outlets) this week. Today he finished. Yay. So many places to organize and store. We haven’t figured out what we want on the top, so that will be a while. We went to see Little Shop of Horrors this afternoon. It

Saturday, October 11, 2025 Keith got up early to go to a rehearsal in River Falls. I actually got up and worked on laundry and tackled the pile of cardboard in the living room. The cabinets aren’t done, but I wrangled the current cardboard. Because I am insane about reusing, I carefully cut the boxes

Friday, October 10, 2025 I worked with someone today I really enjoy working with and consider a friend. We don’t socialize outside of work, but I guess that is just from lack of effort.

Monday, October 6, 2025 I made sure I wasn’t working today, because our new IKEA cabinets were being delivered. I planned to help. They arrived before 10am. Our COBRA health insurance is messed up, so Keith spent from 10-11am on the phone, trying to figure it out. It was going in the right direction when

Sunday, October 5, 2025 Friends Brian and Tory planned our outing to Orchestra Hall to hear the MN Orchestra play the soundtrack to the Empire Strikes Back. It is not my favorite Star Wars movie, but it was absolutely the perfect movie for this activity. I have not seen it for many years, so there

October 4, 2025 It was 85 degrees today. I had to get out and embrace the last nice day ’til June. I thought a nice convertible ride would be great, so we contacted Mike and Mary to say we were coming over. It’s a bit over an hour so it would make a good ride,
