Gratitude: 2019wk8

Sunday: I try a new bread recipe for the second time. It comes out of the oven with the perfect color. It crackles as it cools and makes the best toast I have ever tasted.

Monday: Mom’s dog, Chip, has X-Rays at the vet to see how enlarged his heart is and if it’s the cause of a cough he’s developed. Turns out, it’s not that enlarged after all! He’s given anti-inflammatories for the cough. Chip is 13 now.

Tuesday: WM has been coaching one of his students for an interview with Dartmouth. Today, that amazing kid NAILS the interview. WM is my favorite person, and he helps kids. Chip’s blood test comes back and he’s great!

Wednesday: It snows. WM’s school closes. TNP lets us work from home. Our little household is safe and sound under a quiet blanket of snow. We finish off the toast with dinner.

Thursday: There is a project we have been working on since July 2018. Today my coworker and I tested the process (again, again, again) and one gorgeous record was finally correctly imported into the test environment. We literally cheered!

Friday: Much the same as Thursday. Another coworker, another new thing learned. Plus, Friday. 🙂

Saturday: Date night! We went to Iron Hill Brewery for appetizers and I had a tasty beer. And after a month of screwing around, I finally get a perfect move/exercise/stand week on my Apple Watch.

Hello!

About Me

I've been blogging for over twenty (2 decades! 2-0!) years and I'm apparently one of the few over-50 female bloggers who haven't sold out to THE MAN yet; hence this blog remains quirky, homespun, and unprofitable. No big. However, if you're from Disney, Doritos, or Dave Matthews Band, I'm open to talk about selling out.

I live in Southern New Jersey with my husband WM, and our dog Murphy. I'm an adult who likes Disney but not a Disney Adult. I used to work a fun (really!) office job in Philadelphia, but since March of 2020 I'm a work from home hermit. So if you're looking for a childless, slightly round, marginally boring GenX woman's blog to follow, you've come to the right place! :)
