One year ago, I left the Cape to return to Atlanta to go to the doctor, dentist, optometrist, and the airport to get my Global […]
ideas bigger than bandwidth
I have so many plans. So many ideas. So many things I want to do. But I seems to always lack the time and energy […]
celebrate 2021!
Maybe it is strange to think about celebrations in these crazy times. I wrote about this five years ago, in celebrate! But maybe it is […]
day 40. recipe org ….
Covid quarantine organization …. I did the spring cleaning. We are working on the yard. What’s next? I’m running out of projects! So now I’m […]
day 25 – pool.
When I started to realize that I might be stuck in Georgia into the late spring/early summer, even just the thought of the heat made […]
day 22 – baking.
Popular amongst many of us sheltering-in-place, Camille has been baking! We ran out of all-purpose flour for a bit, but were able to restock via […]
day 21 – spring cleaning.
So what to do when stuck at home for weeks on end? Read, catch-up on tv shows, bake, and, my favorite, spring cleaning! A room […]
day 20 – senior year.
Senior year! Exams. Prom. Tears. Pomp and Circumstance. Parties. Graduation. Yearbooks. But not for this year’s seniors. Last days of school via Zoom. No gatherings […]
day 19 – iso-cation.
Surreal. We are now in week 3 of “shelter-in=place” due to CoVID-19. Camille came home early from Oxford. Chloe is finishing up her senior year […]
celebrate!
Did you know today is National Vinegar Day? Co-workers and friends tease me all the time for my ceaseless reporting of each day’s holiday. Planet […]
exhausted, but what a year.
Today I took the dog for a walk at the beach. I worked a full day. And I rearranged my new living room. I sometimes […]
home.
If I could have, I would have stayed. On the Cape. Summers in Atlanta are brutal, and I don’t enjoy melting. But I had to […]
foreshore ripple.
The same, but different every day. Without Google, it would have taken me weeks to learn the name “foreshore ripples”. I would love to make […]
a day off.
Yesterday, I took the day off. I read, napped, and watched television. No work, no coursework, no reume updating, no organizing. A day completely off. […]
getting out of the comfort zone.
Long car trips are a great time for catching up on the backlog of podcasts. On my long trip last week, I ended up listening […]
resolving my anxiety over gift giving.
Gift giving. It should be fun, right? We have the means to give gifts. I love to give, whether it be time or otherwise. But […]
dreams come true.
We went for 3.5 years with sharing a car. It worked okay. Sometimes I felt trapped, but mostly we made it work. Then life fell […]
expect the unexpected.
I’m not a car person. I never spent time to learn how to care for a car. I can’t change the oil, can’t replace a […]
play!
I don’t play much these days. Or perhaps my personal definition of play is lacking. I work, manage the house, volunteer, and run the errands. […]
being present.
I’ve lived in a constant state of panic for so long that I no longer know how to not live that way even when there’s […]
