Family visit
I had an amazing but short visit to Washington state. It was a whirlwind and, per usual, did not get to see many people. It was great to see the kids and grandkids. I saw my granddaughter Destany and great granddaughter Lily when I first came. We had a few hours together. Lily was full…

Writing
I keep thinking about writing but not sure what I have to write about. I look back at the past 2 weeks and wonder what I have been doing. I did manage to catch a pretty good cold last week, so I had to cancel going to my SWEA group of Swedish ladies and a…

Completions
This past week has been about completing some homework I had been putting off until the last minute. I have had weeks to do it and in typical fashion left it for the last moment. I have decided that is more stressful than had I been doing it all along. I am proud of myself…

Year marching on
I didn’t think I had been doing anything, but I spent a morning with my friend Deanna visiting a mansion in the center of the town of Chandler on the east side of Phoenix. We learned it was built in 1984, and after they sold it, it was used as a film studio for adult…

Thanksgiving birthday
Every 7 years, my birthday rolls around on Thanksgiving day. This is the year! I didn’t want to spend it alone, so I made plans to go see my family in Idaho. I figured it would be the best option to not sit home and feel sad. All week, I have been editing the gratitude…

Gratitude
This week, I have been working hard and playing. Both have been rewarding. First, the play part. I went out on a couple of adventures to a convergence festival. My friend Deanna and I stumbled upon it when we had lunch at a nice place in Scottsdale called Olive & Ivy. We made reservations and…

Tired
It has been both busy and not. It has mostly been busy in my head. I have been feeling very tired and only able to accomplish one or two things a day. I have had several routine doctor visits with blood draws and more to come. I have had counseling appointments and was trying to…
