A usual early morning. Chloe had her second day of state testing; she actually seems to enjoy it! I worked a bit, then packed and got ready to head out – Phelix was SOOO sad that I was leaving with a suitcase. MARTA to the airport and then off to Detroit, where I met Jim

A morning of school and work. In the late morning, I headed out to the Red Cross to a volunteer potluck lunch and to volunteer in the office for a few hours. From there, I raced to Petco, Publix and then Renfroe to get Chloe and take her to the gym. I had a few
rough re-entry
We’ve been home for over a week now. I should have been fully caught up and back in the swing of things days ago. But I’m still struggling. Last week, I took naps. Many, looong naps. I just couldn’t move. It was like I had the flu again, but without the fever. The combination of

Up early for school and work. In the afternoon, I worked on some of my projects then took two training classes, one for the Red Cross and one for Police CAPS; great to have them crossed off my list! Chloe stayed after school for a poetry slam meeting. Rob went to empty out Evie. Camille

Still not feeling well. I worked hard all morning, even while the cleaning service was here. I spent time on my other projects, then went to do carpool and run errands. I worked on the transfer of the PLAIN website then picked Chloe up form the gym. Camille worked on making dinner. Rob got home

Up early to find eggs. Busy picking up around the house. Off to a lovely day at RenFest. When we got back, I crashed once again; I hope this exhaustion is almost over – I’m getting nothing done. Rob worked on cleaning out Evie; he thinks she’ll sell in this eBay auction ๐

More cleaning up. Rob and the girls headed out to run lots of errands. I went down to Oakhurst to volunteer for 3.5 hours at the Earth Day Festival. I was asleep on my feet. When I got home, I crashed on the couch. Rob took Camille to a friend’s for the evening. Rob and

School and work. Chloe didn’t feel well enough to go to gymnastics, so we went to Kroger instead. At home, we worked on cleaning up all around the house. We made homemade pizzas for dinner and then got to work on dyeing eggs. I still feel awful – maybe allergies?
photo friday: oakland cemetery flowers
Our trip to Oakland Cemetery last month was at an ideal time of year. Early spring. Not too hot, yet warm. And the flowers, oh the flowers in bloom!

I’m suffering jetlag. Woke at 3:30 and had a cloudy head all day (or that could be the pollen?). Chloe was feeling so awful that she stayed home from school for the day. Since she was home, I didn’t go to the Red Cross. Camille came home and did some homework. I fell asleep early.
happiness project: cooking + misc (apr)
Thrive!, Project 43 and the monthly projects in my Happiness Project … so many projects! In reality, they are all facets of the same project, guiding me to finish or give up old projects and move forward on the ones that are most important to me. March’s main theme was House. As with past months,

Sluggish all day, including Phelix. Girls off to school. I worked and caught up on other things, then did carpool. Chloe managed to make it through gymnastics. I went to sleep quite early. Gazoo seems to be quite happy to have us home again.

Up early to have breakfast in our hotel in Amsterdam. Packing up and a slow walk to the train station to see the city a bit more. Train to Schiphol. Shopping, coffee, and lines. Long flight home watching movies. A quick transfer from the plane to home via MARTA. Grocery store and picking up Phelix
Greece Trip: Day 11
Naming this post “Greece Trip: Day 11” is a bit strange as we have left Greece behind and today traveled from Amsterdam to Decatur, but oh well. Because of the hour difference from Greece to The Netherlands, I managed to sleep in, yet still get up early. We got the girls moving and went down

Up at 4:30 (Greece time). Dressed, downstairs, ride to the airport. The lines were confusing, but between the girls and me, we got everything set quickly. The flight to Athens was 30 minutes long. In Athens, we found a nice corner in a cafe until Rob arrived. Check-in, time in the Sky Lounge, then a
Greece Trip: Day 10
As usual, I did not sleep well the night before an early flight. The wake up call came at 4:45, but I had been up for a while by then. We finished packing up and headed downstairs for our 5:15 ride to the airport. I was surprised at how crowded the airport was; ours was

Up a little earlier. Breakfast, buses to Akrotiri. A stroll round the archaeological site and then a hike over the mountain to Red Beach. A bus trip back to Thira with a literal pit stop in Pyrgos. Dinner in Thira as the sun went down, then a missed bus. Souvenirs, taxi, arrangements and bed.
