lap-top tlc … daily stuff … research

Disk clean-up, disk defrag, upgrade my anti-virus to the latest version (and research various anti-virus software choices), . . . → Read More: lap-top tlc … daily stuff … research

May 1, 2010
I did manage to get back to sleep 15 or 20 minutes past 3 am, and slept till just before 5 am when I awoke from a terrible dream. Actually it was the end of a very long dream that seemed to start out relatively innocently enough, as dreams go, but went from . . . → Read More: not-so-sweet dreams etc.

midnight madness… pondering our “poor youth!”

May 1, 2010

So I actually went to bed at 8 pm, and figured I’d get up by 5 am, having had a good night’s sleep. However, shortly before I went to bed, my son came home from work, and was telling me how he had been told by his boss that he was being “unprofessional” . . . → Read More: midnight madness… pondering our “poor youth!”

interruptions … budgeting my time… investigating on-line publishing … creative ideas (often scorned) … links on blogs…

April 30, 2010

Well, I had good intentions, of course, to stick to my one thing today … but my son asked me to show him the ropes of making a car appointment, getting the repairs done … and then re-newing the insurance. So lots of coming and going…. And not so much “one thing-ing!”

bitter dark mocha… distractions… what ever happened to the family dinner table?

April 30, 2010

So I made myself a mocha this morning, using the coffee hubby made. I poured my mug half full of coffee – and then had to top it up with hot water. Hocus pick! His coffee was literally black! I added a heaping teaspoon of real cocoa powder. I’m . . . → Read More: bitter dark mocha… distractions… what ever happened to the family dinner table?

sleeping hours… nightime radio… music… daytime radio…

April 30, 2010

Just woke up! This 7 am-ish waking time is getting to be a habit. Whatever happened to 5 am? Well of course I tend to go to sleep earlier in winter because it gets dark and cold earlier. Lately, with daylight saving time, I’ve been awake till 10 or even . . . → Read More: sleeping hours… nightime radio… music… daytime radio…

one thing a day…

April 28, 2010

Oh my goodness! Time flies! I just spent an hour or so going through my emails, mostly … I’ve signed up for various e-groups related to writing (and even moderate a couple) … and am trying to follow some blogs…
But I do need to find some balance… and prioritize… don’t I?

puddles, e-groups, fb statuses… and more reading… and tossing to-do lists and following your passions

April 27, 2010

Woke up this morning to discover that it had rained overnight, enough to leave puddles – including little ponds inside hubby’s expensive work shoes (2 pairs) which he had set outside yesterday to “air out” in our beautiful warm dry spring weather. Our little grandson’s “sun shade tent” was also soaked, as was . . . → Read More: puddles, e-groups, fb statuses… and more reading… and tossing to-do lists and following your passions
