Coffee RunThis morning I was too lazy to make coffee and, besides, when I thought of it, the dishwasher was already running with the Mr. Coffee carafe in it. So I decided to stop at the little coffee shop on the King City mini-mall. After I showered and dressed, I checked the time and place of the T.O.P.S. meeting I planned… click here to continue August, 08th, 2006 Miscellaneous ProjectsTonight I skipped swimming since my stomach’s been unhappy for about the last twenty-four hours. I’m trying to appease it with chicken soup. My energy level is low also. This morning I got a bit of unpacking done and spent time on the phone with communications providers.

There is so much suffering in the world, that I’m grateful for all my good days. Speaking of suffering, watching the news comes to mind. I’m always… click here to continue August, 03rd, 2006 Always Leave LaughingMy dental hygienist said the kindest thing to me today that any of those gals have ever said. Picking at my crooked lower teeth, she remarked about them and I said, “I’ve had them a very long time.” She responded, “And you should have them for a long time yet.” Then she told me about some 110 year-old-man she… click here to continue August, 02nd, 2006 |
