Wednesday, September 21, 2022 I woke up at 6:23 this morning, which is exactly what time I got up yesterday for work. But today was not a work day, so I (quite easily) convinced myself to snuggle in and sleep some more. The weather was cool and perfect for sleeping. (Remember the hot from yesterday? […]

Tuesday, September 20, 2022 Every fall when the kids were growing up, on nice, sunny days, I would say, “Go outside. It’s the last nice day ’til June.” You know – you’ve got to grab the nice days before winter gets you. Today was the last nice day ’til June. Driving home from school, it

Monday, September 19, 2022 I woke up at 3:30am and didn’t get up. I tried to sleep. I was still awake at 4:30am. I knew if I got up, obviously there would be no sleep. I finally got back to sleep at about 5:45, so I could wake up at 6:15am for work. I didn’t

Sunday, September 18, 2022 We didn’t finish our audiobook yesterday, so I asked Keith where we were going today to listen to some more. He didn’t hesitate a second: Pannekoeken. He is a really good thinker sometimes. We got ready and went. I have noticed a thing. I don’t shower every day if I am

Friday, September 16, 2022 I guess I shouldn’t be surprised that tires can be sent FedEx by putting a sticker on them and sending them, because I once mailed a coconut home from Florida with a sticker address label on it, but its delivery on the front porch made me laugh. All wheel drive cars
Thursday, september 15, 2022 I tore a bit of rotator cuff ago and I got cortisone shots and it was better. Today it is not better. I would like to adequately complain about the pain, but words fail me. OW. I also got the Wordle in two. And my brother got it in ONE. What
Wednesday, September 14, 2022 I win! The second of the guys (Benjamin’s friends) has a new baby daughter and she is fabulous! Tiny and sweet and perfect. We went to visit her grandparents and she brought her mom and dad to visit us. The new mama is really, really good at having a baby –

Tuesday, September 13, 2022 I have been taking selfies a lot longer than they have been popular. I have long believed in turning the camera around on yourself, or even better, your group, and just shooting blind. Back in film times, it was usually an expensive waste, so best to just do occasionally. The dreadfulness
Monday, September 12, 2022 Benjamin has had an extraordinary amount of bad luck with car tires. I don’t know how many times he has had a flat tire. At least six times. More than six times, I think. He’s only been driving for 12 years. That’s a lot of flat tires, I think. Alexander has
