For the first time in forever, I have a Halloween costume. I bought a flapper outfit and I’m totally excited to wear it every day. I’ve been obsessed with figuring out how to do my hair and makeup. I may wear it to meetings at work.

Got in a four-mile hike at Julington-Durbin Creek Preserve while Christina was at a dance team party nearby. It was a good, fast-paced hike so I wouldn’t be late picking her up. The weather, once again, was beautiful. I want to wring every minute of outdoor time I can get out of this vacation.

In an attempt to support local small businesses and continue getting out of the house, I took the girls to the Riverside Arts Market to try to find a birthday gift for Christina’s friend. They were amazed at all there was to see there, and we didn’t even go down to the performance stage. They…

On my last day of fall vacation, I hiked Little Talbot Island. I thought I had bug spray in my trunk, but discovered when I got there that I didn’t. It was unfortunate, because there were approximately two billion mosquitos on the trail. I swatted them away for about two thirds of a mile and…

Had to call 911 today after stopping at a crash scene on the way to dance. Several other drivers in front of me would have had a clear view of what happened, but none stopped. I was a few cars back and only heard the crash, but at least I stopped to call for help.…

Finally managed some outdoor time during my week off from work. I found a nice secluded spot near the river (that was still somehow invaded by someone collecting rocks with her dog) and sat in the shade with a nice cool breeze and the water lapping against the shore. It was so peaceful and so…

I had a pretty productive day, and got this sweet owl ready for Christmas. It’s not looking likely that I’ll finish in time for this year, but I think definitely by next year. Making these ornaments has been fun. Some of them are better than others, but I’ve enjoyed making them all. I can’t wait…

Had lunch with Myrna today, which is always a good time. I wish I’d had a little more time for myself today, but even on a day off, I can’t seem to make it happen. It is really starting to frustrate me.

It was a pretty quiet day today. I had hoped to go for a hike, but couldn’t string together enough consecutive time to make it happen, and then it started drizzling. We did make it around the block after dinner with the dogs. I need to start taking more walks with Pinot on my own…

Robin and I had a great afternoon shopping at Sweet Pete’s while Christina was there for a birthday party. We went for a walk around downtown, which frankly was a little sad. It is so desolate. On a beautiful Saturday afternoon, the downtown area of a city like Jacksonville should be bustling with people. We…

It was another stressful day at work, but the good news is I have a week off coming up. Started it off with dinner out as a family for the first time in what feels like forever. Life keeps lifing and getting in the way of living. Hoping we can strike a better balance this…

It’s not even 10pm and I am exhausted. Today was so stressful. One stupid mistake after another at work (none of them mine, but all of them mine to fix), Christina nearly got suspended for bringing the empty shell casing she pulled out of the river in South Carolina to school, some guy drove alongside…

I so wanted to stop and get a proper shot of this beautiful moonrise, but there was nowhere to pull over. I had to settle for this red-light photo instead. It was really beautiful. Dang the endless driving – although I’ll admit that without it, I’d have missed this view altogether. I guess sometimes you…

Two of my favorite things: Outside by the fire and the Yankees are winning (even though it feels like they’re losing). The fire pit was a good buy.

The Yankees took game one of the ALCS tonight, which makes me happy.
