Friday, March 17, 2023 I had a sub job scheduled for several months for today. The teacher teaches orchestra lessons, and I picked up the job out of the scheduling app because orchestra kids are the best and I figured small group lessons would be a delightful day compared to wrangling some classrooms. I was […]

Thursday, March 16, 2023 Alexander came for dinner. I said, “I have been sitting all day, doing nothing.” He responded, “So, living your best life! You’re old. It’s okay to just sit around.” I said thanks. I told him I was going to take his picture with his artfully arranged plate and he said that

Wednesday, March 15, 2023 We came late to the Ted Lasso fan club, because we didn’t have Apple TV. Once we started, we blasted through – trying to savor, but also NEXT, please! I love it. I love all the characters so much, I forget about Ted – and Ted is great. I was glad

Tuesday, March 14, 2023 I was up and off the couch doing something today. I thoroughly enjoyed the complete sloth I participated in last week, but school started up after a week and a day of spring break (whoever decided to add a day to spring break is BRILLIANT), I was back at work today.

Monday, March 13, 2023 Last night, I told Keith I had something to tell him. I confessed that it was a silliness, but it just kept coming into my mind and I thought if I said it aloud, I could just put it away. He (as always) kindly encouraged me. I told him I was

Sunday, March 12, 2012 Snow in March is great because you know it is going to melt soon! Of course, I am not the one snow blowing it – I am just the one out walking around in little circles, making patterns in it. It is the 7th snowiest year here in the Twin Cities

Saturday, March 11, 2023 What a great thing a Saturday with nothing to do is! Keith told me first thing this morning that he (with Benjamin’s help) had purchased bits to build himself a new computer. His old desktop computer is apparently on its last legs. Apparently, he has an old desktop computer. I didn’t

Friday, March 10, 2023 We saw the Minnesota orchestra perform the Symphony for our World by National Geographic at Orchestra Hall tonight. Wow! There was an AMAZING movie of animals to watch while the orchestra played, but as good as that was, the music was every bit as good. I kept thinking EVERYONE NEEDS TO

Thursday, March 9, 2023 I was up and doing stuff this morning, getting organized to cook lunch and all that, because I had an appointment to donate blood at noon. Then it occurred to me that I was just in Amazonia. They are always interested in where you’ve been when you donate blood. I had

Wednesday, March 8, 2023 There is a French horn player that has subbed in Metro Brass a few times that lives in our neighborhood. She asked Keith to run through some new music she inherited. It turns out she lives directly on the path we take when we “take a walk”, so he took a
