My phone took a dive, that is. Early in the morning, before 7 a.m. You can guess where it ended up.
That is why I almost never put my phone in my back pocket.
Bob picked me up at work and we did shopping. We included getting a...

I often postpone myLot until late in the evening. I am trying for early this time.
Have not even had my after work coffee, yet. I will pour it soon and also have a piece of pumpkin bread.
We keep having rain, so I am not really...

Bob is dropping me at work early and taking my car. Just about every route to where he needs to go for his appointments has traffic construction and restrictions.
Our other vehicles have stick shift. One of them, the most...

I was not able to access any web sites this morning, but my router did not say the internet was down. It is a mystery.
I could work online from 5 a.m. to around 6 just fine. I helped Bob get around and then I was going to post at...

Around 5 p.m we had a big storm blow in. It rained hard, but for just a little bit.
Possibly there was some hail as well.
We ate leftover pizza tonight, and Bob has made us sub type sandwiches for tomorrow for lunch.
I made...

The men finishing up the heating and air conditioning stayed late, so they would not have to come back.
Something else that got fixed is the venting on my dryer. It was supposed to vent to the roof (not efficient ) but I have...

There is a long list of things I need to do this morning. And Bob wants up in about fifteen minutes.
My trash needs to go out to the curb, for sure, and meals for breakfast and lunch need to be prepared. Of course a meal for the...

Since I now have central heat and air, I no longer need window air conditioners. I did not like them anyway.
So, this afternoon I moved clutter around so that I could remove them, one at a time, from their windows. So much more...

When it rains my motivation seems to disappear. That is what happened today.
It rained all afternoon. It was a cloudy day.
I did put some bright colored flowers in a small planter, and add some rooted cuttings of a foliage plant...

The air conditioning kicked on. It has been almost nine years since I have had "central air". I did not know it was hooked up.
I am going to have to read the instruction books for everything, including the programmable...

School is out today and I have no obligations at all at school or on the bus. So I will go with Bob to Newton, and get shopping done, etc.
It is early, not yet 7 a.m. but he has been hitting a lot of traffic. I want to see what...

They were here a large part of the day today, and will be back tomorrow.
They say they are okay even if neither of us is here for part of the day. I cannot get off tomorrow.
There are heating vents in all the rooms now, and most...

I will say that you may find me not present much from now until Thursday.
There have been some switches in Bob's treatment schedule, but it worked out well because an electrician needed to come to get ready for the step of...

I need more weekend in my week, just so I can rest one day and work one day and still have a day to get things done.
After church today and lunch, Bob took a nap. I eventually tried to wrestle the cats out of the way so I could...

Yesterday was cloudy and a bit chilly all day. Today it looks as if the sun will put in an appearance.
No news at all, except that weekends are just too short.
After church we will come home. I already have two different meals...

I started a load of wash last night. It is dried and folded and hung up. I had one more load that is now in the washer.
I took it easy for breakfast, and I am ready to make a new pot of coffee. I also may nap because I need...

Who shops at thrift shops? Teachers. Teachers shop at thrift shops.
Every time I go to the local one I see at least one teacher from my school.
Thrifting is one way to afford to update your wardrobe without breaking the bank....

Yay for Friday.
Earlier I had a bowl of granola, but I am hungry again or still, so I made a couple of pieces of sourdough toast.
Bob does not have a treatment today, because there was no provider available to run the show. He...

Today I had a lot of things to take into the school. I managed to lock my keys in the car.
I did not find that out until it was too late to catch a ride with anyone to my town, about 12 miles away.
It felt a little too cool to...

It is gently raining right now. I am glad I chose to put my new plants outside and not try to bring them in. It would have been silly to bring them in, anyway, since they have been living outside.
I do not think rain was...
