2017 – Day 31
Tuesday, January 31, 2017 I took a couple of days off from blogging, and I found that, as a result, I stopped studying my HTML course material. No bueno. Even if I just have to come on and jot one or two sentences down, I’m going to do that. 😉 Little Miss was my co-pilot […]
2017 – Day 28
Saturday, January 28, 2017 Not munch to report about today. Slept in with Boo, washed and ironed my clothes for the week, chores around the house, took the recyclables to Twisp, shopped for groceries, back home and vegged the rest of the day. My kind of a Saturday. I have to drive back down to […]
2017 – Day 27
Friday, January 27, 2017 Today is the International Halocaust Remembrance Day. Today is a good day to remember Sir Nicholas Winston, Gino Bartali, Irena Sendlerowa, Chiune Sugihara, Oskar Schindler, and the all the others whose names may be forgotten, but their acts of bravery and compassion will never be. Yesterday, while I was […]
2017 – Day 26
Thursday, January 26, 2017 Not exactly sure why, but I’m being drawn to the writing of Dylan Thomas. I think, from time-to-time, I’ll post an excerpt or two. Everyone seems to be familiar with his poems “And death shall have no dominion” and “Do not go gentle into that good night“, so I thought I’d post […]
2017 – Day 25
Wednesday, January 25, 2017 Ugh! This week is going by so slowly. Up at 3 again, drove the roads, checked-in with my boss, spent a couple hours at the gym, followed by an hour at Starbucks studying. Yesterday I completed my application for Gonzaga’s MBA program; I hope to be accepted and enroll for this […]
2017 – Day 24
Tuesday, January 24, 2017 This is my first drawing from the photo of the “mammoth” water tender. Since the only picture I have to work off is at an angle, the proportions are skewed. I need to either take another photo straight on, or I need to sketch a new proportional mammoth (I think I’ll […]
2017 – Day 23
Monday, January 23, 2017 And school’s closed…again. Today was an easy call, though; there was too much black ice on the road to safely transport students. Just tapping on my brakes caused me to lose control and almost go into a ditch, and that’s a good indicator we should either have a two-hour delay or […]
2017 – Day 22
Sunday, January 22, 2017 It’s snowing again. https://flic.kr/p/Qe6S6c I went all last week without my toiletry bag because I tore my old one apart in order to draft a sewing pattern, and I went to work yesterday in sewing myself a new tote from ticking fabric (my new favorite) and canvas. The ticking fabric itself […]
2017 – Day 21
Saturday, January 21, 2017 What a day! Yesterday I got off work at 6:00 PM and drove home to Winthrop and pulled in just a little before 9:00 PM. It was raining all the way from Leahy Junction outside of Bridgeport to Methow and then the rain turned to snow and driving was slow going […]
2017 – Day 20
Friday, January 20, 2017 Just as I suspected, school today, albeit a two-hour late start. Why is it always the days I want to go home early to Winthrop are the days school runs? 🙂 Yesterday was a bit surreal with all the ice; I felt like I was on Hoth (Star Wars fans […]
