Tomorrow is the first day back to the grind after having my family home for a four day weekend. I've been really unwell the past couple of weeks, and there is much I need to catch up on. So here's a partial list of things I have to do tomorrow. Organize the master bedroom Mop … Continue reading Busy Day Planned

New Church
We ended up trying a new church this morning because our church was shut for the Fall retreat we didn't go on. We went to a church far away, because it was the denomination we wanted, which is hard to find. When I tell you this church was wonderful, it lacked nothing. The service was … Continue reading New Church
First Day of my MFA
Today is day one of my MFA, and I must say that despite some depression today, I have enjoyed it. I am rereading a favorite poetry anthology. Starting with books I own still leaves me with a ton of inspiring material. This book is special to me because I bought it in college when the … Continue reading First Day of my MFA
Young Men
If you had a million dollars to give away, who would you give it to? One idea I have for what I'd do with a million dollars to give away is start a college fund/business fund for young men who want to go into medicine or engineering or create start ups. There are so many … Continue reading Young Men
Designing My Own MFA
I am not going to grad school for a variety of reasons, not the least of which is money. (My disdain for leftist politics and an unwillingness to support a system of Marxist academics also play a role in me not attending. As does the fact I will make no money from such a course … Continue reading Designing My Own MFA

So between physical illness, Bipolar, and my inlaws coming to visit, I have been too wrapped up to write here. It has been a very hard week. This weekend I am doing better physically. I went to church and … Continue reading On the Mend
Hard Week
This week has been a rollercoaster, not to sound cliche. Life with a mood disorder often is. We finally got some sun this weekend, but we are back to another sheet of slate in the sky. It is draining me. Today I had to go to the doctor for an ekg, and then I treated … Continue reading Hard Week
Lovely Day
Today we went into the city to go to an art museum dedicated to what is traditionally seen as craft or woman's work. It was fascinating! There were some really deep, beautiful things there, and I got some nice photos. We went out to lunch after the museum, then went back to town and grabbed … Continue reading Lovely Day
Dogs, Church, Park
I'm sad this evening because my husband determined that we are not in a position to foster a dog. He thinks I will try to keep every dog we bring home. We are renters and we move a lot, and he is concerned that we won't find a rental when we move again. I feel … Continue reading Dogs, Church, Park
She’s here!
Our exchange student, L, arrived Tuesday night. She's so sweet. She brought us a beautiful photography book about Spain, among other gifts. It's gorgeous. Yesterday we took her into the city. I hope she had fun! She seems to be bonding well with A. Today we took her up to the high school to get … Continue reading She’s here!
