The Irony of Life's Juxtapositions
Tonight started visitation for the kids, so I was on my own for supper and after. I have many, many things to do this weekend; foremost among the items on the list is writing the articles to complete my April quota. Anyway, so I decided to go out for supper, so I wouldn't have to cook tonight. I...

We Pulled It Off
Well, the annual Administrative Professionals' Day Luncheon for IAAP is history. I was on the committee for my local chapter's luncheon planning, and it was actually kind of fun. We planned and planned. We wanted a seated, served meal rather than a buffet. I figure if my company is going to shell...

I Caved.
I couldn't take it anymore... the sleepless nights, the restless sleep when I did get to sleep, the uncomfortable clothes, the sweating.... I turned on the air conditioner at 1:30 this morning. A week earlier than I like to turn it on, but it was 86 in the house at 1:00, and it didn't seem to be...

What a Weekend!
I got a lot done -- not everything I wanted, but a lot. And I'm coming to the realization that I probably have far too optimistic an expectation of what I can get done in one weekend. LOL. Bit slow, huh? I got four articles written and submitted to the website I write for. I'll have to fit in two a...

Kids Do the Weirdest Things
There was a thunderstorm in my area last night, and my oldest son came into my room and got in the bed because he was scared. No problem. I comforted him and rolled over to go back to sleep. About 2:30 a.m., I rolled over and half-woke. Suddenly, my son slapped me. It was one of those swift, sharp...

Pine Allergy
It's trying to get me, but I'm fighting back. Every year about this time, when the pine trees bloom and spread their yellow pollen in a gritty blanket over everything in sight, I get sick. Sore throat, itchy ears and eyes, achy joints, coughing, sneezing, stuffy nose... the works. But over the...

It'sToo Dang Hot!
I really, really do not want to turn on my air conditioner yet. I usually don't turn it on until around May 1. And that isn't usually a hardship. But right now, it's torture. Or rather close. The weather has been in the high 80s this week, and is expected to hit, or surpass, 90 today. And it's not...

Mission Accomplished
Sort of.... I didn't get everything done on any of my daily plans, but I accomplished the most important items on each day, and made progress on some of the lesser items. I got off work early on Friday afternoon, so I went to Dinstuhl's to get the Easter basket goodies for the kids. It was a bit of...

Prep and Plan
I'm working out a plan for facing this weekend. I have so many things that I need to do, but there are some clear priorities --- like the taxes. So I'm "budgeting" my time for Thursday night through Sunday night. I'll report on my progress at sticking to this "budget" on Sunday or Monday.

Planning for the Weekend
I have a lot of things to accomplish this weekend. I have some herbs and seeds to plant, and some flowerbeds to weed. I have a house to tidy up. I have articles to write --- I need to finish 20 of them by the end of the month. I have taxes to do, and filing to do in preparation. I've got a Sunday...
