A Goodbye?

I have decided to quit blog-it, soon, for awhile. Partly it has to do with my time. I want to be spending more time writing on my personal blog or my book when I do have time to write. I would also like to apologize for not giving many of you a fair reading. I really like the support here. Even though I've only been back for less than a month, I will miss writing and reading blogs. You are all wonderful. Thanks for reading about my ordinary life! I may be here another week, until my subscription... Sign in to see full entry.

Went Camping!

Finally got away to go camping. We had a lady stay at our house to water the garden and watch the dog and cat. We got a late start on Saturday night, so had to set the tent up in the dark. Then we stayed up to watch the meteor shower. We saw a few really bright ones. After the moon came up I saw a couple more, but it was pretty light out. The next day we camped at a place we found a couple years ago. It's a small campground by a creek. No one was there (again), so it was really nice. We enjoyed... Sign in to see full entry.

Finally Resting

Today I cleaned a house, which took about 4 hours. I usually have a smoothie for breakfast, with all kinds of good things. This morning I had sourdough pancakes. They were wonderful, but I sure could tell the difference. I was tired and dragging through the job. I think I'd better stick with my smoothies if I'm working. When I got home I did some of the necessities, then I laid down for 15 minutes at a time. I have to move the sprinkler around the yard every 15 minutes or I'll forget. I am...

Day in a College Town

This morning I had to take the cat we acquired last month to the vet to get neutered. I'm in a college town and I don't pick him up for at least 2 or 3 more hours. I decided to take it as an opportunity to work on my book. I started that novel in 2012. It's the biggest mess now and I just work on scenes and try not to think about how it all goes together. It's also changed a lot since 2012. I was taking a class to help me finish it, mostly for accountability and turning in chapters. But, alas,... Sign in to see full entry.

More Training

I had a girl work with me today named Tiffany. I was able to show her how I'd like her to clean the bathroom. She did great and was fun to work with. Next cleaning, I may have her do the job alone, if she can, or work with her one more time. This time only saved me an hour because it took us a long time, but it's worth it. Greg's cleaning tonight. He split up the jobs, so by tomorrow we may go visit someone or even go camping! It's been hot here, 98-100, but we have a dry heat, so it's really... Sign in to see full entry.
