    I had half a summer flex day to use at work today before losing it, so I packed up my paddleboard with the intention of going after my morning run. I left the gym and turned toward the creek to find THIS in front of me. Looking the other way was sunshine. I decided not…

    I was so disappointed when we got to the beach and it was sunny and thundering and looked like this a few miles down the beach. We stayed long enough to see a crab, take a couple pictures, and come back home. I spent the rest of the day finishing the earrings I made for…

    My days seem to separate into three basic parts: mornings, when I go to the gym (chest workout today), days, when I go to work (still scrambling to get caught up while people pile more work on my plate), and evenings, which is my free time. Tonight I made spaghetti and meatballs, and watched a…

    It thundered and the sky turned black and green and all the stormy colors the sky can turn, but it never rained a drop and the sun stayed out the whole time. This is summer in Florida, and I love it.

    We are having our first winter storm since we moved to Jacksonville 14 years ago. They are predicting sleet and ice overnight. It’s kind of exciting. It’s not so bad when it only happens once every 15 years.

    Something about hurricane preparations really bugs me when we’re not even in the path of the storm and everyone hunkers down as though we are. Hoping people who ARE in the path of the storm are doing ok tonight.

    This is one of those rare times that someone said a storm is coming and it actually came. It’s very windy right now. And if it’s like this here, I can only imagine what it’s like in Tallahassee. I’m very glad we had our tree work done yesterday.

    Florida skies can be pretty spectacular.

    Taught the last session of the latest NAMI Family to Family class tonight. It wasn’t the best series this go around. It was online and there wasn’t great participation overall, but I always appreciate when someone gets something out of it, and I think we accomplished that. I love doing it, but I’m always relieved…

    The weather has been wild lately. This morning Billy hydroplaned right off the highway during a rainstorm. Luckily he didn’t hit anything and no one got hurt, but there was enough damage to the car that it had to be towed to a nearby garage. While he was on the phone with AAA for a…

    Drove into this storm to spend over $600 getting the dogs their annual shots and tags. I brought the kids to “help,” which was pretty dumb. The lights went out just as Jackson was getting his second shot, and no one freaked out. Also, this was the first time he did not need to be…

    Yesterday afternoon was a complete clusterfuck. First I completely forgot about Christina’s dance class. It wasn’t until I left to pick them up that I realized my mistake. The class had already started by then and I still hadn’t picked them up, so I knew we wouldn’t make it. Then there was a Tremendous Storm.…
