laundry day
Today was my day off and it started with laundry and transportation. I threw the first load of laundry of the day in, got Zary and Trentyn into the car, picked up my son Carl and his son Seth, and drove them all to school and work.

writing stuff
I'm working on a story and have got past the point where it just flows out without me thinking about it very much. There is more flowy stuff in my head, but I have to connect what I've written to what I'm going to write, and have it all make sense.
This is where I've always given up on stories. The hard part, the thinky part, the part where you ( Read more... ) -
One week post covid
I woke up this morning feeling pretty normal; yesterday I was tired when I woke up, but not today. So, having the day off and feeling pretty normal, I started to think of some projects that I want to get done. I will do two projects with Mike and the boys' help:
