Betty Belekis Some days are busier than others. We have out of town guests coming next week so cleaning and cooking have moved to the top of the list. What fits, fits. The rest will get done, eventually.

Betty Belekis I try to log on every day but while I enjoy it, my family takes precedence.

Betty Belekis I can usually get here for an hour or so every day even though I'm busy. Missing as many days as I did at the beginning of the month surprised me.

Betty Belekis @just4him Once I get drawn into the story I have trouble setting it aside. I don't dare do that right now as I have so much other stuff going on. I'll get serious in September or October. I would like to participate in NaNoWr again in November but I can't...

Betty Belekis @Jeanniemaries That's hard. I can but don't like to go online from my phone. I probably would have just given up until I got home.

Betty Belekis I think it will be easier once winter rolls around again. I can't do as much outside.

Betty Belekis Sadly I'm not writing as much as I would like to be. I doubt I'll get good stretches of time to write until September. There are too many other things to do right now.

Betty Belekis I enjoy my time here but there are too many other things to do in the summer. I have more time to play on the computer in the winter. Sadly it will be here before we're ready.

Betty Belekis Before I retired I never believed retirees that said that, but I understand now. The biggest difference is that I spend my time doing what I want, not what I have to do.

Betty Belekis They sure do but I would rather they fly by than drag. I don't like being bored.

Betty Belekis I don't regret retiring for a minute. Several of my friends swore I would be bored within a month. Nope. I'm busier now than before I retired. The main advantage now if when I hit overload I can slow down. I don't have a boss pushing me to do more.

Betty Belekis That's all any of us can do. I like to stay busy but when I'm tired, I stop. When I was younger (and still working) I didn't have that option. I like having that option.

Betty Belekis @sallypup We will book some, like the time in Vegas and we'll book a hotel near Zion National Park, but we've never had trouble finding a hotel/motel when traveling. I love road trips. I drive by myself to Minnesota every summer (1,500 miles), but my husband...

Betty Belekis @valmnz So true but I focus on what matters to me the most and just do what I can. When I get tired I take a break. Most of the stuff on my lists is optional. If I don't have time to make six lap robes for the nursing home, the will gladly take four. I try...

Betty Belekis @rachael5760 The recipe is not mine so I can't post it here but if you type in homemade laundry soap into a search engine hundreds of recipes will pop up. My niece makes a dry version of it.

Betty Belekis @Marty1 I have a recipe that I found online years ago. It's not hard. I end up with about five gallons at a time. I store it in old juice bottles. I make a batch once a year or so. The main reason I started making it was that its pennies a load and smells...
