October 23
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…

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…

My brain is mush. My job is literally to find mistakes, which sounds fine until you realize you also have to fix the mistakes and make people accountable for them. Oh, and fix the underlying root issue that caused the mistake. Which becomes demoralizing when you fix the root cause only for someone to come…

If you look carefully, you’ll see some blue sky. It didn’t last long, but I did enjoy the use of my sunglasses a few times today. Christina and I went to the pool, but I guess the hours changed in September and we missed it. But I made two more ornaments for the advent calendar,…

It was a light day at work and a gorgeous day outside, so we took the dogs for a walk. It was probably the highlight of my day.

Sometimes things hit me suddenly without warning or explanation. But I kept on knitting hats for Kindermarket.

Bought and put up our Christmas tree. The girls participated in the beginning but then lost interest, which kind of ruined it for me. Decorating the tree was always one of my favorite parts of Christmas, and it was always a thing we did together as a family. It makes me so sad that it…

Christina and I retraced my route to Saturday’s chorus concert trying to find the music folder that I had set on top of my car before driving downtown to sing. Alas, it has gone wherever music folders go when people do such things, because we couldn’t find it. The day was not all lost, though,…
