My mom had an appointment with her oncologist this morning. This is her second cancer doctor so it was the first time I got to meet him. He looks like he just graduated from college-- young. He kept my mom... Continue reading

Scoping Things Out
Image
On my morning dogwalks, I like to check out people's front gardens. Some yards are quite fancy while others are pretty bad. There is one that I have noticed through the years getting fixed up at very a slow rate,... Continue reading

Take it easy

My inclination is to go and do. I'm trying to use this time to be. The heat helps. Weather has a way of slowing people down. I continue to work on my computer getting curriculum stuff done. I finished re-doing... Continue reading

It's kind of hard to keep track of the days since everyday is so very much like the next. We didn't quite get to 100 again today, which was nice. I did a short dogwalk but a longer swim. I... Continue reading

Balt got me up around 4:30am. I try not to get up until after 5am, especially since it's pretty dark until 5:30am here. I made coffee and got on my way for a long walk- about 4 miles. It was... Continue reading

My schedule hasn't changed much. Balt gets me up early. I fed him late last night, hoping he wouldn't wake me up at 3am and it worked. It was 4:30am and I was able to get him to hold off... Continue reading

It was so hot yesterday that when I popped over to the pool for some laps the pool was wall to wall bodies and obviously had no parking. Too crazy for me! I turned on the air conditioner and watched... Continue reading

It's been a professionally productive week thus far but boy, doing professional development at the beginning of the summer is not that fun. I have one more day of work tomorrow and I'm eager to get on with summer. We... Continue reading
