Yes, it does feel like we are up the Torrey Pines with the birds 🙂 In fact, there was an Oregon Junco sitting on the branch just outside my window on Monday morning just singing away. I might need to keep a checklist of birds spotted from my desk while we are here! It's... Continue Reading →
Ch-ch-ch-changes!
All good ones! I was finally able to arrange for the disposal of an oversized, hand me down and out of shape set of furniture in my living room. The love seat and chair were rarely both in use and the love seat would only be in use if both 17 and I were watching... Continue Reading →
Bringing the outside in
The exciting news this week was confirmation from "upstairs" that the office I was hoping to get in the targeted move for our area is indeed mine. Which means - something within the next month or two, I will no longer be a basement dweller! Do you know it's been 10 years at least down... Continue Reading →
Frazzled
I posted on my Facebook status today, just this one word: Frazzled. My brain has had to be so ON the last 3 days - that I can feel the synapses burning from overuse. A football meeting directly after work on Monday followed by more work I had to complete from home that wasn't done... Continue Reading →

Taking online classes and playing football that's what! Remember how I complained about checking in to five classes... Continue Reading →
May 27th – Cranky Toes and Testing
Starting off with the beauty since the rest of the day was pretty lacking in it. Ok, not entirely true, the beach I whizzed by in the car on the way to and from work was pretty darn gorgeous but there was no chance to stop and take a photo. The jacaranda tree is the... Continue Reading →
May 25th – Losing Steam
Uh oh - I guess I should be impressed that I maintained my motivation to write in here every day for this long! I was literally in bed before I remembered tonight. Can you blame me? It's Friday. It's been an intense week. I left work after FINALLY training with my co-worker on her tasks... Continue Reading →
1 wrong does not make 50 wrongs
Last week an email went out at work admonishing the ladies of the basement about flushing items they shouldn't. Specifically, it was plastic applicators (apology for the slight TMI there). I knew because I heard the maintenance employee talking about it. I immediately felt defensive because hey - I'm a woman in the basement! But,... Continue Reading →
