Good Morning and Happy Sunday! So far, the new year has started off a bit indulgent as I have stayed in bed late both days of the weekend. Serra tells me it's good because I am still getting over the bit of cold that I had with the holiday. Maybe it's me finally learning to relax. What did we do this first week of 2024? Amanda traveled back to campus in time for the RA refresher training days and before the 'massive' storm that was supposed to hit the area. I'm told she has three inches of snow so far today and that it is not a bad storm at all. In fact, she is out shopping this morning to...
Good Morning and Happy Sunday! The last one of the year, and the last day of the year. Outside the skies are clear with a soft pastel sunrise. No white Christmas here as the temperatures have been too warm. It makes me wonder what Spring Break is going to look like! What did we do for limbo week? We made some of our traditional food favorites for Eve and watched my two Christmas movies, Gremlins and Die Hard. Day was quiet with sharing gifts and munching on leftovers. Amanda got a much-desired haircut, and we had a dinner out for the holiday with friends. We did some shopping and ice skating on Friday. Serra's knee looks terrible from falling on it. Thankfully...
Good Morning and Happy Sunday! I am looking out my window at sunny skies. The two storm bomb that was supposed to collide over Colorado didn't happen just as Daddy and I knew it wouldn't. I don't think it's going to be a white Christmas this year, which is good because last year's was plenty! I'm going to keep it short and sweet today especially considering I'm late posting as is! That's what happens when we were at the airport at eleven pm to pick up Amanda. After a calmer drive back than last year and a stop for a snack, we finally tucked in at one this morning. Serra has been almost glued to her in the few hours...
Good Morning and Happy Sunday! Turning the heat off yesterday because the weather was wonderful. Thing is if you don't turn it back on, it makes for a chilly start to the day! Completely worth it for the deep sleep snuggle factor even if it means cold toes and a blanket for a shawl at the moment. It's too warm for December. Considering I have a trip to the airport on Saturday and don't want a repeat of last year's weather, I'll take it! What did we do this week? With no classes and only one final to prepare for next week, Amanda got serious with two of her favorite activities: socializing and sleep. Late nights and lazy mornings have...
Good Morning and Happy Sunday! I don't know if it is good or bad to have a consistent body clock that manages to wake me up just before the alarm goes off. However, just like the sun I crawled back into the covers and took my time making an appearance. What did we do this week? It was the last week of classes for Amanda. She had a presentation for one class, an exam in finite elements, and in another her group finally got their robot to move. A paper to turn in today will finish off the class with the presentation and she is thrilled to be done with it. Originally for next semester she was going to move...
