Wednesday, September 7, 2022 I could not get to sleep last night – my brain would not rest, so the rest of me could not rest. Nonetheless, I woke up three minutes before my alarm. I considered skipping swimming my loops and dozing off for another half hour, but I firmly reminded myself that I […]
Tuesday, September 6, 2022 School year, that is. I like that I get two fresh-start-feeling times per year. I went to bed earlier than usual (meaning it was before midnight), but unfortunately then woke up earlier than usual – about 5 hours earlier. I thought about a lot of things (and tried not to) from
Monday, September 5, 2022 Happy Labor day – or as it is known in teacher-ing circles, the last day of summer. Keith tried to actually do some yard work, but I hassled him into going in the pool with me. I was yammering on about something while I was floating and when I looked at

I was visiting my friend tonight while Keith ran errands. He came to pick me up. When I opened the car door, there was a treat just waiting for me! Ooooooo! Good n Plenty is the BEST! My friend, Maren, has labeled my chosen treats Old Man Candy. I don’t think she is wrong –
Wednesday, August 31, 2022 HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY SISTER, DONNA!! During pandemic, we had the wonderful opportunity to gather in our friends’ backyard to watch an outdoor movie. We used actual DVDs that we owned. It was fun to look to see what we had that each other hadn’t seen and share some favorites –
Tuesday, August 30, 2022 Today I went to work in the morning (to learn how to high school) and then thought I should clean things up around here. I actually really like when things are tidied up. I find it restful. I sat in a chair for a while, then I went in the pool,
Monday, August 29, 2022 Today I thought a lot about our three year vacation plan. I’ve had a multi-year vacation plan in my head as long as I can remember. I enjoy the planning and imagining, and in order to get the best deals, you have to start early. Pandemic threw that all under a
