  • 2017-08-13 Today is Mine

    When I woke this morning at 7:33 after about 7 hours of sleep I said to myself, “Today is going to be my day”. I said it in a nice way, like I was going to hug the day and enjoy every minute of it’s time. Not in a mean sort of ownership way. I’m…

  • 2017-08-12 Looking Forward

    It’s good to have a plan. It’s good to have things to look forward to. An event or a meet up or a vacation in the future that you can think about and be excited about. I’m a planner by nature and I love having things to look forward to. That’s probably why I am…

  • 2017-08-11 Who Am I?

    Today I dug a trench in my back yard and it’s almost ready for me to start doing the brick work. I also went for a bike ride and discovered where/how the Patio trail connects with the Keystone trail, so that 4th of July mystery has been solved. After that I took a nap and…

  • 2017-08-11 It’s FriYay Again

    I’m bound and determined to get my act together today and at the very least finish digging a trench for these edging pavers for my back garden. I also got it in my head yesterday that I would like to go for a bit of a bike ride and really see what’s up with patio…

  • 2017-08-10 Strange Days

    This week has been so strange. Despite having a few things planned, it seems that nothing is going according to plan. Some of it has been unexpectedly awesome and some of it has been just rotten. I’ll start with rotten so I can end on a positive note. Yesterday I wrote about my attempt to…

  • 2017-08-09 Isn’t it Ironic

    Today I went to the Red Cross blood drive just down the street. I have a long history of attempting to donate blood which is really great for several different reasons. First and most obviously, you are doing something good and helping people and that gives me a nice feeling. They say that every time…

  • 2017-08-08 Pieces of Me

    The kids have been with Brian for over a week and it is so quiet here in the house and so.. uneventful. There is a peace I can get when they are away but it comes at a price. The price is the feeling that something is missing and I’m definitely missing my missing pieces…
