organizing: house manual
As part of my getting “all the things organized”, I had an idea to put together a manual for our home. While we don’t have a large home, the running of any home requires various planning and information. I tried to search for a sample house manual and came up with nothing. Some samples on

We made it! Giant’s Causeway had been on my wish list for years and years, and I wasn’t going to pass up the chance to go while we were in Ireland. The trip there was long, but I am so glad that we finally got to see this amazing place.

Today is National Dog Day and National Cherry Popsicle Day. Up early to take care of everything around the house and work. I decided to take Phelix to Arabia; he danced in circles when I got my boots out. He had a great hike, remember the trail exactly. During the afternoon, I worked, then took
a sigh (and cry) of relief.
I had no idea. I knew it was bad, but didn’t realize how bad it really was. When I stepped out the door to walk Phelix early yesterday morning, I realized how ABSOLUTELY, AMAZING, and WONDERFUL it can actually be and was hit by the realization that it had been awful for weeks now. WONDERFUL:

book report – 25 aug 2015
This week, I finished yet another book! Despite being sick, or maybe because of, I had some time to read this past week. I finished Standard Deviations: Flawed Assumptions, Tortured Data, and Other Ways to Lie with Statistics by Gary Smith. While I enjoyed parts of it, I got a bit twisted around so that

sick, sick, sick.
I made a great effort all week to stay on top of work, exercise, chores, and all the rest, despite Chloe’s being home sick for most of the week. I was ready to have a great weekend, free from all the “htings that must get done”. And then boom. As soon as I started to

photo friday: causeway coast way
From our apartment in Portballintrae near the Giants’ Causeway in Northern Ireland, my mom, Chloe and I walked along the Causeway Railway to the Causeway Coast Way. Instead of following the tracks straight to the Giants’ Causeway, we turned towards the sea and found breathtaking views, wind, and more geocaches.
