People are going every which way throughout the school today.
Our Kindergartener from our program participated in Kindie 500, each kid had a cardboard box decorated to look like a car. During the morning it was nice and they...

It is the middle of the month, and I have a couple of bills I need to pay before work, because otherwise I might forget.
It is so much easier to do online.
Not sure I would want to go back to mailing it in.
Today I am paying...

We could not see Northern Lights from our house and we did not go out driving around for a better view. Maybe we are too low over the horizon or some such. We sure do not have much light pollution.
I am up and trying to decide...

I had hamburger that needed to be frozen or used. So I did both. I had three pounds. Two pounds went in the freezer in single pound chunks.
I had "discounted" bell peppers, and mushrooms I purchased last week. They needed to be...

I am going to go out and visit with Jane. Instead of going to Wendy's we shall go sit at the lake.
Prices everywhere are going up and up and eating fast food is not good for either of us.
Meanwhile, at home, I am cleaning out a...

I wonder if I looked the wrong way to see the northern lights, or at the wrong time.
Reading Facebook there are comments and pictures from people in the area. One person said the camera picked them up better than the eye. I know...

Maybe we will see the northern lights tonight, here in Kansas. At least two sources have said it is possible, due to some blasts from the sun.
Around ten p.m. we are to look out to the horizon. We plan to do that. Just shut off...

Bitty did not come home until 10 pm last night. It had me worried.
She is already pestering to go out and it is just now getting light.
It makes me wonder if someone else is feeding her.
Today at work will be a fairly normal...

I have whole house heating and air conditioning. Vapor barrier and insulation...

Starting at 3:30 this morning, Bitty was saying she wanted out.
I do not let her out until it is at least starting to get light. I relented at 5:30.
Yesterday she spent the day hiding in my bedroom. She hates having strangers...

I needed to get the few things out of the attic that I have stored there. Christmas stuff, and small trees.Today they will blow in insulation all throughout, and the things would be buried. Besides, the decorations are hard for me...

I hope to get to be outside, I do not think it will rain.
Today I do not really...

My primary student had a couple of seizures yesterday afternoon and was taken away by ambulance.
His family has a history of not keeping him home when ill. He really should stay home today to recover.
Lots of weather related...

It is getting hard for me to want to go to school, although we are winding down.
All the little extras, they are fun, but take time as well.
A fifth grade teacher I work with is being honored by a baby shower today. Four of us...

It is springtime in Kansas and the weather prediction changes from day to day, or even hour to hour.
It is time for field trips and outdoor activities, so of course we will have cloud, rain and wind. Then we will have very high...

We have a cloudy, rainy, slightly cool day today.
I woke up around 5:30 a.m., drank coffee, ate breakfast and went back to bed until 8 a.m. I had freaky dreams and now I am ready to go sleep some more.
The cloudy weekends are...

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...
