When I get home I'm going to have to start collecting information for having last year's taxes done. I'm dreading it, because it was a very complicated year and I'm not even sure how I'll be able to get hold of S's W2 from her job. Every future year should be much more straightforward though. S and I usually had our taxes done by Block Advisors, a ( Read more... ) -

More indoor walking today because it is cold and very windy outside. Unfortunately this means I'm not doing very well with the current family photo challenge, but I look forward to being able to catch up when I'm home again. Today I sort of cheated - the prompt for today is "technology" so I went outside during my indoor walking and took a photo of ( Read more... ) -

Aria enjoyed a couple of the books I found for her on my library website, and she (and the other two) also enjoyed rereading one I found the previous day about a girl's short stay in a hospital when she had appendicitis and had to have her appendix removed. We didn't have very much reading time though, as the girls had a book club meeting at their ( Read more... ) -

It's clear and sunny today but also quite windy; the temperature is a few degrees below freezing but the windchill factor makes it more than a few degrees below, so I decided to stay inside today ( Read more... ) -

I must have slept wrong, because this morning I woke up with a stiff and sore upper left shoulder. It hurts to turn my head too far in either direction, but it's only painful to raise my left arm in any direction, while my right arm is fine. It also hurts to tilt my head upwards, which is awkward when I'm trying to drink anything. Rather spoilt my ( Read more... ) -

5. What life lesson did you learn the hard way? This is not exactly a life lesson, but a few weeks ago I learnt that I need to be much more careful if I go running before sunrise.
6. What do you wish you spent more time doing five years ago? I wish I'd had the opportunity to go for more very long walks with S, but her full time job rather got in ( Read more... ) -

The last few days have been very cold again - below freezing most of the time - so I've been lazing around inside and not getting much exercise. Yesterday I did some walking around the house including up and down the stairs and managed to cover almost 2 ½ km/1 ½ miles. Today I'm hoping it will warm up at least to around freezing point, because our ( Read more... ) -

4. What gets you excited about life? Discovering something I want to learn and setting about learning it. I love the feeling of mastery and satisfaction I get from overcoming any challenges and being able to do whatever it is successfully. Two recent examples are learning to crochet last year, and my ongoing efforts to learn to play the piano.
