Yesterday afternoon I dropped Hubs off for work. He will likely be out for at least a week. Since I was relatively close to town, I went and did a little shopping. I wanted to get a special card for my granddaughter’s best friend, who lost her father to ALS just a few days ago. We met her a few times when we would visit family downstate. The girls were inseparable. Last February, she (along with my daughter and her family) spent a week at our house, so we got to know her even better. Losing a parent at any age is tough, but I can’t even begin to imagine losing one at only 14 years of age. I also wanted to enclose a little something special for her with the card. Per my granddaughter’s suggestion, I got her a gift card for Starbucks. [Read more…]

For sure, I know I need to do a MUCH better job at accomplishing said goals! Such a vicious cycle! So, without further ado, not in any particular order, here are my 2022 goals. [Read more…]

It has been a wickedly restless night with my RLS. Some (actually many) nights are just that way for me. When Hubs isn’t home, I can usually distract the agony by watching TV while doing leg scissors. After an hour or so, I can often get back to sleep. Whenever Hubs is home, I leave the bedroom when my legs become too bothersome. Just because I can’t sleep doesn’t mean he shouldn’t. So, what quiet activity can I do until he wakes up?…Sit at my desk, bounce my legs and do some more blogging! [Read more…]

Before I get into more catching up, I do want to take a moment to wish everyone a belated Merry Christmas. Hubs took vacation time, and so far, we have spent most of our time just being home. Initially, we had hoped to use some of this time to bring back items from his mom’s house, but with that part of the estate still unsettled, we couldn’t make that happen. Time off with Hubs never goes to waste. He has been working on organizing his shop, and later this week, we have errands to run in town. We’ve also had several days of snow. Although I don’t mind clearing the snow, it has been nice having Hubs home to help. [Read more…]
