This morning I woke up believing it to be Wednesday. Then I looked at my watch to see it was Tuesday. By the time I got to work, it was Wednesday again. Every Wednesday I have to adjust my work schedule due to a meeting from 3:00-4:00 to talk Title IIA, so I made the… Continue reading What Day is it Again?

Hunker Down Hair
Bad hair day number 14! There are many things I miss, mainly people, which I’ve written about in other posts. I’ve also written about some of the positive experiences of hunkering down. But…my hair is horrible and not a positive. When it is long, it isn’t too bad. When it is short, it is where… Continue reading Hunker Down Hair
Choose Wisely Men and Women
Hunkering down has been a challenge I imagine for all of us. There have also been some really good things about being hunkered down, which I believe I’ve mentioned before. I have really enjoyed working from home because it means I get to have lunch everyday with my husband, whom has also been working from… Continue reading Choose Wisely Men and Women
COVID-19 “Brain”
This is not to take COVID-19 lightly in the least. My heart goes out to all the families who have been affected by this disease. I’m just been wondering how everyone else is dealing with the emotion and mental health of being yanked out of what our lives used to be. It has now been… Continue reading COVID-19 “Brain”
The Patio is Coming!
We have gotten approval to put in our patio and gazebo from the HOA! The gazebo has been ordered and we’ve hired someone to put it together for us. The patio company will be here tomorrow with their contract. Hopefully they can get the patio poured sometime over the next two weeks. That would be… Continue reading The Patio is Coming!
Will the Jobs Come Back?
This evening I activated my son’s new iPhone. I didn’t need a Verizon person when I bought it. Didn’t really need a live person to even order it (although I did need an agent to walk me through some things via online chat). I didn’t need a live person to set the phone up or… Continue reading Will the Jobs Come Back?
Time to be Creative in the TV Show World
Have you seen the Saturday Night Live show the cast shot from their homes? What about the recent Progressive Insurance ad that looks like they are on Zoom call (which was very funny by the way)? After seeing the Progressive ad just now, I began wondering when a brave soul in the TV world will… Continue reading Time to be Creative in the TV Show World
Shocked, but Not Really Surprised
As I wrote yesterday, last evening was an emotional one with tears shed as information was shared and erroneous statements uncovered. As parents, we want to protect our children as best we can, wanting to keep certain facts and information to ourselves so the hurts and pains of the past remain where we’d like them,… Continue reading Shocked, but Not Really Surprised
Emotional Evening
It was an emotional evening and I am thoroughly drained. All I have to say for today is it is hard being a parent. Some days it can be even harder as an adoptive parent. It was that kind of an evening. Emotional and cathartic and much much more all at the same time. Until… Continue reading Emotional Evening
It’s Always Incremental
In order for something to become the so-called norm, the thing is introduced to us incrementally. Take the man in the Oval Office right now. He came down those escalators with a bang and told us right away who he was as a person, who he would be as a candidate, and who he would… Continue reading It’s Always Incremental
