Okay, challenge from a book that I will quote here word for word when I get the book back. Instead of writing about what happened today, write about the best thing that happened today. That would ensure much less melancholy and whining. So, what is the best thing that happened to me today? The first […]
Christmas has come and gone, with the requisite family love and confusion. I have loved having my son home on leave, and my nephew, too. The two of them are about six months apart and are like brothers, because neither one had an actual brother. I hope they remain close throughout their lives. I’ve convinced […]
More work updates…big hush hush staff meeting between Marilyn, Karen, and Monique yesterday. Monique came out halfway through the meeting and asked if I had time to join them, which can sometimes not be a good thing. In this case it was a good thing. Marilyn has decided not to hire a replacement assistant director […]

Just standing doing dishes this morning, sniffling and crying, remembering what my friend said last night in a text. Is it funny to consider a 26-year-old single man my best friend? I don’t know how it happened, except that I was being nice to him. Just like I am nice to everyone, polite, helpful…it’s the […]
Looking around WordPress and I think I will like it here. Google blogs was my previous home, but for various reasons I left. I linked to it, just to provide some back story to what I will be posting here. Friday night was another knit-in, so fun! Karen wanted to meet a little earlier and […]
