“Oh, thank goodness,” I mumbled to myself, “I got a story!” I haven’t been blogging. I haven’t felt a story lately, not one that makes you smile and feel good (for me). Everything changed 5 minutes ago. I read an email and something caught my eye. I know that symbol. Yet it still took aContinue reading “Day 9 #SOL20 #26/31”

She takes her position in the back seat. Before I shut the door, her front paws planted on the armrest, and her toenails hold her place in the back. As we move down the road, her slobber smudges all over the window. The rear seat safety windows are barely enough for her head to hangContinue reading “Springtime #SOL20 #21/31”

Things are so different. I really don’t know what to write about, or maybe I’m not feeling the connections to my stories. It seems like a struggle to keep the routines I did before March 13th alive. As spring came closer than before, I picked up my exercise routines. Things were falling back into place.Continue reading “Week 1 #SOL20 #19/31”

My bottom is flat

It was my first time in a grocery store in a while. I didn’t go to my go-to-store. It’s too small. It’s too crowded on what was once known as an ordinary day. Tomorrow’s St. Paddy’s Day.

Just now I heard…do not report to work. It’s been a waiting game all day. It’s a crazy day…short slice. But I’ve been thinking of you! Be Safe, Stay Healthy, wash your hands singing the ABC song!

Early to bed means early to rise. I’m not sure I appreciated this on a Saturday morning. Emotionally exhausted yesterday, I did just that. This morning I woke up early. No surprise. As I drank some coffee, I caught a glimpse of my nails. The pretty pink ‘nail polish’ had worn out its welcome. ThereContinue reading “‘Water You Up To?’ #SOL20 #14/31”

Things are going to be a bit different. I wonder for how long? It was rough today. A plethora of events caused this day to begin with a bumpy start, and it continued throughout the day. I tried hard to keep it positive. It didn’t work. Two kiddos were ready to record our first podcast.Continue reading “Unfamiliar Territory #SOL20 #13/31”

Rain, rain, and more rain came down toward the end of the school day. All I wanted to do is get out of my wet tennis shoes and curl up with a blanket and book. “You are staying to help decorate her office, right?” Deb asked before I got out of the office. “Yup! CallContinue reading “Happy Birthday #SOL20 #12/31”

“Can you come and see me? I have something important to talk about.” “I can’t now. I can come by after lunch” “Kk” I stroll into the lounge looking for her. She’s not here. I trot over to her room and just as I’m about to knock, the door swings open. “I have to getContinue reading “Tough Choice #SOL20 #11/31”
