A Profitable Day
I did so much today! I got up at 6:30 and went for a walk — about 20 minutes, and approximately 1 mile. Haven’t done that in years. Then I put in the path lights that I bought the other day. I filled the dozen or so birdfeeders in the back yard, planted some herbs, […]
The Irony of Life’s Juxtapositions
Tonight started visitation for the kids, so I was on my own for supper and after. I have many, many things to do this weekend; foremost among the items on the list is writing the articles to complete my April quota. Anyway, so I decided to go out for supper, so I wouldn’t have to […]
We Pulled It Off
Well, the annual Administrative Professionals’ Day Luncheon for IAAP is history. I was on the committee for my local chapter’s luncheon planning, and it was actually kind of fun.We planned and planned. We wanted a seated, served meal rather than a buffet. I figure if my company is going to shell out $25 each to […]
I Caved.
I couldn’t take it anymore … the sleepless nights, the restless sleep when I did get to sleep, the uncomfortable clothes, the sweating …. I turned on the air conditioner at 1:30 this morning. A week earlier than I like to turn it on, but it was 86 in the house at 1:00, and it […]
What a Weekend!
I got a lot done — not everything I wanted, but a lot. And I’m coming to the realization that I probably have far too optimistic an expectation of what I can get done in one weekend. LOL. Bit slow, huh? I got four articles written and submitted to the website I write for. I’ll […]
Kids Do the Weirdest Things
There was a thunderstorm in my area last night, and my oldest son came into my room and got in the bed because he was scared. No problem. I comforted him and rolled over to go back to sleep. About 2:30 a.m., I rolled over and half-woke. Suddenly, my son slapped me. It was one […]
Pine Allergy
It’s trying to get me, but I’m fighting back. Every year about this time, when the pine trees bloom and spread their yellow pollen in a gritty blanket over everything in sight, I get sick. Sore throat, itchy ears and eyes, achy joints, coughing, sneezing, stuffy nose … the works. But over the years, I’ve […]
It’s Too Dang Hot!
I really, really do not want to turn on my air conditioner yet. I usually don’t turn it on until around May 1. And that isn’t usually a hardship. But right now, it’s torture. Or rather close. The weather has been in the high 80s this week, and is expected to hit, or surpass, 90 […]
Mission Accomplished
Sort of …. I didn’t get everything done on any of my daily plans, but I accomplished the most important items on each day, and made progress on some of the lesser items. I got off work early on Friday afternoon, so I went to Dinstuhl’s to get the Easter basket goodies for the kids. […]
Still Running on Overdrive
It’s still terribly busy in my life, but I can see some lights at the end of the tunnel. Taxes will be out of my hair this weekend. I can put the flannel sheets back in the attic and bring down the percale. My utility bill should be very low this month, as I’m running […]
