>Now: Day Four
>Today is June 4th. There are times when I surprise myself. Take yesterday, for instance. On my calendar I had several tasks assigned to complete, and at the time that I published my post I had several more to accomplish, yet I mentioned I was going to take a nap. Instead I continued organizing and … Continue reading
>Now: Day Three
>Today is June 3rd. Bug slept in until 6:15 this morning. I did not; I was up by 5:30 but rather than joining Tony – who was already partway through his own day 2 workout of the 30 Day Shred – I sat on the couch and read. I intended to walk Bear to school … Continue reading
>Now: Day Two
>Today is June 2nd. I slept poorly last night and woke up for the day before 5am. At 6:15 Tony and I got dressed and began day 1 of the 30 Day Shred. Bug and I walked Bear to school, and minutes after we returned home a woman who is new to the island and … Continue reading
>Now: Day One
>So you know how I made it allllll the way through the first week of February with my Silver Lining Journals, and then just gave them up cold turkey? You know, without any tapering off but just a complete and totally abrupt end? Yeah. That was kind of the beginning of the slow winding down … Continue reading
>Teriyaki Noodles, Frozen Onions, and Reluctant Husbands: A Compilation
>Last week I made one of our favorite go-to meals for the last time. Well, for the last time here, anyway. My recipe for Teriyaki Chicken Lo Mein is one of the fastest meals I make these days, and though it does call for using four packages of 20 cent ramen noodles I do at … Continue reading
>SLJ – 1 through 7 February 2010
>1 February – Bear woke up with a wracking cough; decided to let her stay home from school. (Of course the cough disappeared within 5 minutes of contacting her teacher about that.) Did a load of laundry, reorganized money envelopes to begin using the VB one that Tony gave me for Christmas. Left house at … Continue reading
>SLJ – 25 to 31 January 2010
>25 January – Walked Bear to school then extended walk to return movies to rental store. Got home; took care of cat stuff (litterbox, refilled water fountain), then sorted through all recycling and brought out to bin for tomorrow. Gathered up all laundry and sorted. Bug helped me put clothes into washing machine. Turned on … Continue reading
>SLJ – 21, 22, 23 & 24 January 2010
>I’m slipping, aren’t I? First it was the combination of two days. Then three. Now four? Not surprising. It’s me. I also wasn’t keeping up with my photography blog after just one day into it. Taking a picture each day? Yes. Actually putting them up? Not so much. No worries; they’re all there now. 21 … Continue reading
>SLJ – 18, 19 & 20 January 2010
>18 January – Tony went golfing this morning. I spent the morning planning the next two months’ dinner meals. Tony brought The Critters to the zoo while I cleaned up the house, showered, and got ready for bunco (pajama theme!). Had a great time; yummy food, fun prizes. I actually did well, too: I was … Continue reading
>SLJ – 16 & 17 January 2010
>It’s a good thing I’m at least doing these for myself every two days. Any more than that and I’m pretty sure I’d completely forget what I’d done. 16 January – Tony went into work this AM; was supposed to stay until noon but didn’t get home until 2:30. He received some unexpected news; began … Continue reading
