Got through the week. Days at work ranged from 8 to 10 hours and there were a few nights where I just collapsed. Left work at 4 pm today after getting a few projects completed. Should have tried to do more today, but I was just burned out. Stopped at Michaels on the way home […]

I’m overwhelmed, exhausted and stressed to the max–and the week has just begun! Seems that everyone who walked into my office or called or emailed today was demanding something of me.

To celebrate, I’ve spent a good portion of the day laboring in the kitchen. Woke this morning to find my sink and counters covered with ants! For some reason, we are having a terrible problem with ants this year. Found them entering through the corner of the kitchen window over the sink. These are new […]

Watched the webcast of The Man burning. Once again I thought it went too fast. He stood for about 15 min after the fire began and then fell over. I liked it better in the past when there were no fireworks. Also, in 2004 the webcast was really clear and you could see all the […]

Kevin and Soula will be doing the big move into the new house next weekend with the truck rental for the furniture and all that. I got an email from Southwest Airlines this morning showing all their specials for the month of September. After talking with Kevin, I decided to go up and help them […]
