Things I learned today… Groceries are in this house, and meals are planned for the week! I don’t think it’s possible for Keith and I to be married 70 years, but if God’s willing, we could potentially make it at least 50 years. *fingers crossed* On the subject of marriage… unless you get to witnessContinue reading “Things I Learned Today / Saturday, August 14, 2021”

Things I Learned Today / Friday, August 13, 2021
Things I learned today… Starting the day off with a cup of coffee and about 16 of my closest dance studio owner friends and mentors in an inspiring, encouraging, super informative meeting was THE BEST! It takes some wrangling, cajoling, manipulating, bribing, and ordering them sometimes, but when the children clean up after dinner andContinue reading “Things I Learned Today / Friday, August 13, 2021”

Things I Learned Today / Thursday, August 12, 2021
Things I learned today… I’m reading a book (“The Psychology of Money”), and I don’t really want to stop reading it. It’s already so interesting. When I can, I’ll post a few excerpts from it. It’s pretty eye-opening. This is day 3 without carbs. I’m ok. Everyone else is ok. Are you familiar with theContinue reading “Things I Learned Today / Thursday, August 12, 2021”

Things I learned today… Look here ” Self Checkout Computer Karen”, I am fully aware that I must “Please scan all items before placing them in the bagging area.” therefore I need not be reminded every, single time after placing something in said bagging area. I wouldn’t put an item in your precious bagging areaContinue reading “Things I Learned Today / Wednesday, August 11, 2021”
Opportunities, PTSD & Vikings: Day After Surgery
I remember thinking people would probably send carnations. We would probably receive a “Get Well Soon” flower delivery or two. Keith would wake up groggy and be in some pain. He would have sutures and a surgery wound to deal with, and he would be sore. It would take time to get his gut workingContinue reading “Opportunities, PTSD & Vikings: Day After Surgery”
Things I Learned Today / Tuesday, August 10, 2021
Things I learned today… I’m off carbs. Uuggghh. Y’all pray for me. I hate to even tell you that, but I probably need the accountability. I really, really, really don’t like myself right now. Something has to give, and I know it, so here goes. How is it possible to want to be productive butContinue reading “Things I Learned Today / Tuesday, August 10, 2021”
Opportunities, PTSD & Vikings: Surgery Day
The kids were set. My mom came to take care of them for a week. My dance studio was set. We postponed registration of new students for a few weeks. Our service company was set. We had two techs in place to work and hopefully take up Keith’s slack. We checked in Keith’s burley selfContinue reading “Opportunities, PTSD & Vikings: Surgery Day”

Things I learned today… I wish people who were in favor of the vaccine weren’t so militant about it. And I wish people who were not in favor of the vaccine weren’t so militant about it. (Do not state your case or argue on my post. These are things I learned today, not a debateContinue reading “Things I Learned Today / Monday, August 9, 2021”
Opportunities, PTSD & Vikings: Surgery Eve
August 9, 2015, was a Sunday. We packed a bag or two to head to the hospital early on Monday morning. Keith completed all the pre-surgery protocols the week prior, so he was ready. Check-in would be bright and early. Keith’s colon cancer (adenocarcinoma) was discovered at a “routine” colonoscopy. I use quotation marks becauseContinue reading “Opportunities, PTSD & Vikings: Surgery Eve”
