Week 122! I am going to begin with an apology. I have just plum run out of time. I am leaving tomorrow morning at 9:00 am (I know, the crack of dawn for someone like me) for a weekend retreat. This year, I am the sole presenter for the actual content. Usually, we split that …
Week 121! I got a facial today, and it was wonderful. Well, they always are, but I learned my aesthetician is leaving to stay home with her little one. We have really bonded over the years so I wish her only the best. I will get to see her one more time in a couple …
Week 121! I heard our area of Indiana only got 1.6 inches of rain in August so I was really excited when it stormed here on Wednesday night. It sounded like there was a lot of rain coming down, but the rain gauge only read 0.1 inch. I think there may have been some evaporation, …
Week 120! My fingers and hands quickly healed from the attack of the rose bush last week. I may have gone overboard in cutting away the dead stuff because it looks a little lopsided. It just insists on growing taller and taller instead of out. When I dead head that particular bush, I try to …
Week 119! I’m writing this with fingers and hands that have been viciously attacked! I have little wounds all over. Jack, you say? No. Nigel wielding his cane like a sword? Double no! I had some dead branches in one of my rose bushes and was cutting them out of it. I didn’t feel anything …
Week 118! Well, life has this funny way of smacking you upside the head and saying, “Hey, let’s change things up!” As you know, I’ve been undergoing treatment for dry eyes as well as gunky glands along my bottom lids. I’ve had three IPL treatments and use prescription eye drops. I had a regular check …
Week 117! Here’s your PSA for the day. My oldest helps out some elderly people with their computer problems. It seems one of his “clients” was scammed and turned over control of her computer to some scammers. My son can usually fix that remotely. This time, however, as fast as he could remove the malware, …
Week 116! Would you believe it was 95 (35C) here yesterday and barely made it into the 70s (21C) today? It’s a little damp, but, gosh, it’s really nice! It makes you feel like fall is just around the corner when, in reality, we’re just starting August which is usually wicked hot! September isn’t much …
Week 115! I do hope wherever you live, you’re staying cool (or warm). We are under a heat advisory for the next day or so. Today, the real feel was 105 (40.5C). I feel so badly for anyone who has to work outside in this weather. But, the same goes for very cold weather, too. …
Week 114! Let’s just get this out of the way. It’s hot and humid here in Central Indiana. It’s in the 90s (33C) with high humidity. It’s like walking through a pool of Jello™ that hasn’t set yet. But, the good news is I’ve started a walking regime. For many years, Nigel and I used …
