Slice of Life Day 14: Weekend Plans
I spent the better part of last week cleaning up the house in preparation for my brother’s family to come visit this week. With our county on (basically) lockdown and non-essential travel not recommended, they decided to stay home. As for me, I’ve got a whole weekend ahead of me…

Slice of Life Day 13: Glimpse of Normalcy
It’s amazing what can change in just 12 hours. Yesterday, I posted about “The Unknown” dealing with the COVID-19 virus. Even as information is constantly being updated and decisions are being made hourly and daily. Plus, trying to alleviate the anxiety of my staff and the public by keeping them…

Slice of Life Day 8: Daylight Saving Time
It’s the dreaded Daylight Saving Time! That’s correct, I’ve been calling it Daylight Savings Time, which is not right. I don’t necessarily mind in the fall when we gain an extra hour, but in the spring when we lose an hour, it’s wicked. Arai, my pup bases much of her…

Slice of Life Day 7: Spring Cleaning
I can’t say that I like cleaning the house. But, I do love the results! And when I get in the mood to clean, you better watch out because it’s happening! This week, my partner is away at a conference, so I’ve spent time every night cleaning up the house.…

Slice of Life Day 6: Most Adventurous Dog Walk
I had a great day yesterday, a couple of crazy things happened at work and I stayed calm and rational. I’m trying hard not to overreact about something if it’s not necessary. I mean, overreaction is never necessary, but sometimes it just happens. Then I got home with a plan…

Slice of Life Day 5: Keeping an Orchid Alive
My partner has gifted me at least five orchids over the past 10 years. And every single one has died an untimely death due to my lack of expertise in the orchid field. So for our anniversary last year when another orchid showed up on our dining room table, I…
