ho hum

I gave up on today 


    It was too hot to do anything outside.  I tried to take a nap in my porch recliner, but I could not sleep.

    I have some small yard chores, but I decided no, not today.

    I did go to the chiropractor and 3 stores before heading to Cypress House for a coffee.

    Because I am sleeping so badly again, I got a decaf.  I know, might as well drink water.  It tasted great, but I do not have that burst of energy a caffeinated coffee gives me.

    Hopefully I will sleep better..

    In a moment of boredom, I made a list of things to do around the house.

    I should learn to stop doing that because I always get overwhelmed.  But if I don't make the list, I am not motivated to do much of anything.

    On a positive note, I went into Walgreen's a n saw a woman and recognized her immediately as a former student!  I knew her name!  No hesitation at all on my part.  We spent a few minutes catching up .... she now has 2 grandchildren!    

    That is one of the positives of living in a small town.  You get to see people you taught, perform in plays, do comedy, go into businesses that greet you by name. 

    But there are drawbacks too.  Today I learned a former student passed away.  In reading his obituary, I saw that his sister, also a former student, proceeded him in death. 

    Both of them were nice kids and I am sure they were great adults.

    Hug your kids.  And your friends.

Peace and Love
