It’s Saturday! The word for today will be PLAN. I slept until nearly 6:30 this morning and my body still feels sluggish. Gotta get it together before leaving on my walk with my friend V. this mor...


Good Friday morning! Today’s word is SUPPORT. I saw a bit of buzz on socials about the Kamala Harris Zoom calls that have been happening this week, and late afternoon yesterday, the link for the ...


Today’s word will be CONTINUE. Anni never called yesterday. She never sent a text telling me she got tied up. I told her that we could talk anytime after 5:30 my time (we are two time zones apart...


Good morning! Today’s word will be PREPARATION. I’m prepping myself for the call today. I think Anni is too, though I can tell she has no clue what I’m about to say to her. Our texts have been li...


Good morning, world! Todays word (s) will be: SUCK IT UP I just went back and reread my Mexico entries from last November. The ones where I was writing about how my one friend, Anni, kept getting...


And all of a sudden, it was Monday! Today’s word is SURPRISE! I don’t know why, but last night I had trouble getting to sleep. So when this morning’s alarm went off, I let myself drift back off f...

July's Volunteer Pop-Up!

So the monthly volunteering continues. I feel like I’m getting closer to finding a volunteer project that is more of a calling for me and right up my alley. A few weeks ago (maybe a couple of mon...


Good morning! I’m going to give you a visual for this morning that may or may not give you the ick, but I find it hilarious: I am writing this entry at my standing desk, essentially in the middl...


Good morning! I slept in an extra hour and a half. It was glorious. I’m making coffee and tea simultaneously. The coffee I will drink immediately. The tea I will put in my travel cup to sip after...


It’s Friday! My word for today is flexibility. It shoulda been my word yesterday, and honestly should be one of my words every day. Yesterday’s progress was hit and miss. Was I fast? Eh, somewh...


Today’s word is going to be SPEED. Yesterday was fine, and meetings were good, but I got sidetracked by some obstacles and it slowed my efficiency down. I want to get shit done FAST today. It’s a...


Work: Well, the big news is that today was Inbox Nazi’s LAST DAY?!! On Friday, he’d rescheduled our team meeting for TODAY instead of our regular Thursday. So before our meeting there was a littl...

July 9 - I Am Home.

Made it back home yesterday afternoon. The two weeks with Mom and Dad were a complete success and I’m really glad I was able to do it (thanks to remote work)! Mom and Dad seemed pleased with the ...

July 5 - Anyone There?

So the 4th of July came and went with little fanfare and much dog trauma. My dog wound up under the bed all night with her thundershirt still wrapped around her tiny body and mom and dad’s dog en...

Prepping for the 4th

Hey, hello again! Still here at Mom and Dad’s place in the lakefront community. I’m dreading tomorrow something fierce (4th of July) because it’s going to be “hotter than blue blazes” as my mom u...

June 29: How It's Going.

Day 6 of my 15-day adventure in eldersitting is coming to a close. It’s been an experience, that’s for sure. I don’t even know if I’ll be able to sum it all up when these 15 days are over. I’m i...

Sunday, June 23rd

Today is the actual day of my parents’ 61st wedding anniversary. We met yesterday for a celebratory lunch. It was a good day, but man, I can see them slowing down tremendously now. I don’t know h...

Updates on Various

Sparks. In reference to yesterday’s RAD entry, no I really didn’t feel sparks on Sunday’s paddleboarding/coffee date. I also know that that’s probably a good thing because when I get the butterfl...

Why...

…did I go F.O.? It feels a little embarrassing and maybe even a little woo-woo, but I want to write it out. I guess I started thinking about how Klaus told me about what he does in cyberspace an...


I had the most interesting experience yesterday. I was walking Martini, and as usual, she got stubborn at one point and pulled me over (she’s a strong 8.5 lbs!) to the front door of a beautiful s...
