my journey, destination unknown
Up early to get ready to leave for the State Gymnastics Meet in Roswell. We left before 9am and got home at almost 4pm. Long day! Chloe did great at the meet, placing in most events and coming in second overall in her age division! Rob headed to meet some people for dinner; the girls…
A slow morning at first, but then Rob biked off to Tech and Chloe, Phelix and I dropped Camille off at Little Five Points for Comic Book Day. We picked up around the house, and I worked on projects. When Camille got back, we picked up some more then went to see the Captain America…
A morning of school and work. In the afternoon, I headed over to the Red Cross to volunteer then shot back to Decatur to take Chloe to gymnastics. Camille stayed at the square after school for a while. We had pizza for dinner and worked on various projects.
We sure did eat a lot of Greek salads on our trip to Greece! Feta, olives, cucumbers and tomatoes.
A morning of work and school. In the early afternoon, I took Chloe to the dentist – no cavities! After a stop at the store, we took care of things at home. When Rob got home, we all went out to dinner at Calle Latina.
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. April’s main theme was Cooking. As I expected, I…
Chloe felt better and headed off to school. I worked during the morning, then took care of a few other things in the afternoon. Camille and Claire came home after school, then I went to get Chloe from the gym. We had a simple dinner; Rob came home late.
This past weekend while I was in Ohio, our beloved Evie went to live with a new family. She’s going to be missed. But it was time. We only had Evie with us for a little over three years, but those were fun times that we had with her! Back in 2011, we decided that…
Storms took out power in much of Decatur, so Chloe’s testing was cancelled. Her back was hurting, so she stayed home from school. I worked all day. In the evening, we made dinner. Rob and the girls went out for dessert while I cleaned up and walked the dog.
This past weekend, I headed off on a rare trip – one on which I did nothing. I made no decisions. I don’t know when I’ve ever had a couple of hours like that, much less a couple of days like that! I flew up to Detroit and met my aunt and uncle who took…
Back to school and work. I worked hard all day, then did the gymnastics carpool and went to the store. Camille helped me make dinner and a blueberry pie for dessert. I picked Chloe up from the gym. We had dinner and dessert. Chloe and I walked the dog while Camille cleaned up in the…
We celebrated a few week 17 holidays including Jelly Bean Day and Pigs-In-A-Blanket Day. Coming up this week: 28: National Blueberry Pie Day and International Guide Dog Day 29: Zipper Day: and International Dance Day 30: International Jazz Day and National Raisin Day and National Oatmeal Cookie Day May: 1: May Day and Global Love…
Breakfast at the hotel. A bit of a relaxing morning, then Susannah and I left for the airport. After we returned the car, I had a couple of hours to sit and read at the airport. Trip home was uneventful. I had some pasta with Chloe’s homemade pesto for dinner before falling asleep.
Breakfast at the hotel. A walk to the fairgrounds to geocache. Lunch at the sports bar across the street. A tour of Ohio with Phil, Barbara, Susannah, Jim and Marty – a stop in the cemetery, at Barbara’s grandmother’s house, and by Devil’s Lake (actually Michigan). Dinner at the restaurant by the lake and then…
Living in Atlanta, I’ve been flying Delta almost exclusively for years now. On the rare occasion that I’ve flown another airline, I haven’t bothered adding my frequent flier number because, well, I’m not a frequent flier anymore and definitely not on that airline. Earlier this month, I had the happy opportunity to fly on, in…
Slept in until after 7am. Breakfast in the lobby. Work. Barbara’s Academic Hall of Fame induction at Wauseon High School. Dinner at Sullivan’s with Barbara’s friends (and family). Geocaching in the dark. Cookies and milk in bed.
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…
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…
