Friends From All Over
One of the unexpected benefits of my intermittent online gaming addiction has been the chance to make friends with people that I would not normally have met. Or that if I did meet them, I would probably not have realized how great they are. Read more
Break
I have a little time off between classes so I’ve had a chance to update here a little bit. No new posts of my own at the moment, but I have added some links to the blogroll on the left hand side of your screen. (You have to scroll down a bit, probably.) Read more
What’s Up
So I’ve been away a little while because of a couple of things. I had been intermittently working on my memoir but I wanted to get morefocused on it so I joined a writing group. This has been great for critique, support, and accountability (it’s embarrassing to show up and have nothing new to share.)
Since I’ve been working on the memoir, I have changed the way it’s posted here at the cabin, also, so if you are interested in reading it, or parts of it, you can find the sections listed on the left under “Pages.”
The other big change is that I’ve finally decided that getting a Master’s degree is important enough to me that I should just dive in and get it done, so I’m now officially, despite my advanced age, a student. I’m studying Organizational Psychology, and I have to admit it’s pretty interesting even though it’s a lot of work. Still, I’m committed to the memoir so I will keep working on it, especially when I have breaks between classes.
Home Remedy
I have a cold and a particularly sore throat.
I’ve read that the best remedy for a cold is rest, and that works out fine for me. Unlike many people (especially many moms) I am perfectly able to rest when I am sick. In fact, I often practice resting just so that I’m in tip-top resting form in the event that I get sick. And it’s a good thing that all my resting skills are well-honed for times like this, when I need to spend the better part of 48 hours on the couch.
Rules
Yesterday I did something I have never done before, and I will probably never do it again.
We had a fundraising event at work for the United Way — sort of a picnic lunch for 1000. Being a manager, I had to sign up to help out, dishing up food or passing out raffle tickets or something. By the time I got the signup sheet, the easy jobs were taken, so I signed up to help with “pineapple bowling.”
