Yes, but not for ages. It’s always unwillingly that I get less sleep…

Have you ever won a prize from a radio station or a social media contest?

Thanks for the recommendations! I’ll check them out soon!

I have a couple years experience with the 40’s. It’s been a good time!

Happy early birthday!

Yes to J Lo! 😁

I admire down-to-earth celebrities, when I am able to see that in interviews. Daisy Ridley, for example. Or if they stand up for a cause I believe in, that tends to bring up the admiration level. John Boyega on that score.

Otherwise, I try to remember that they’re just people with more money and different jobs…

For me, we’ll see! I had a friend who didn’t feel free to date much because he was unable to get a divorce – his ex was stalling, even after years of separation. He died in August, but I would call that one a successful friendship even though I would have been happy with more, had we both been available…

Now I have a male friend who texts and…[Read more]

I don’t take a multivitamin anymore, but B12 helps with my metabolism, C to keep the immune system ticking well, and D because we may not get enough sunlight (even near the border with the US). Also, cheers for probiotics!

I resist taking iron supplements because they slow down my digestion. Trying to get natural sources, and meat is the source…[Read more]

We are making do with takeout since we’re away from home. Pizza Hut last night, which was a hit with all but the middle guy. (He missed the dairy-free cheese, which surprised me. I miss regular cheese!)

Tonight will likely be fast-food near the end of our drive. I’m am A&W person – rather than McDonald’s or other options – but I can blame my…[Read more]

I remember that album, KitKatKitty. Should play it again soon. 🙂

I’m away from home this morning for a medical appt for the oldest son. Hoping for good news on his vision therapy progress. Then we drive home and rest for the birthday of the middle guy tomorrow (11 already!).

I’m up earlier than expected and may need a snack to get me to a real…[Read more]

Only one more November morning after this one! Months pass by so quickly sometimes…

The kids are exercising indoors since it’s pretty chilly this morning. We’ve watched kids’ church videos already (plus one for the first Sunday of Advent – it covered Hebrew and Greek words for hope). They’ll go spend time with their dad soon, for lunch and the…[Read more]

My car doesn’t have a port to let me plug in a phone or other device for music, and I find Bluetooth spotty, so CDs it is in that vehicle! At home, I backup the CDs so I can put the files on my phone, tablet, and computer. Music anywhere! 😁

For things I try before buying or don’t have yet, I use YouTube. Not a fan of the ads, but not gonna pay at…[Read more]

I’m not sure if it’s getting late here for sending cards, but I didn’t find any leftovers in our boxes of Christmas decorations and forgot about cards since then. Maybe this coming week, I’ll remember to look for new cards. Even late would be a bit of cheer! I’d focus on my parents’ siblings, any cousins who’ve given me their addresses, and local…[Read more]

Taking a photo of my middle guy (also with autism) gives me a little thrill. Usually it’s like the camera is out to get him, so he hides or moves fast to create a blurry pic. Today he brought up photos because he wanted to share something he’d made, and then didn’t panic when I got a candid shot. 😁

I found Upstairs Downstairs (the newer show) after DA and like both. DA will probably always take top spot of the two because I saw it first. Love learning history because of shows that hook me and then inspire research into the time period!

It’s tough to know what’s what this year for illness or just a bad day. Try not to stress about it.

So far, I’ve just had a couple bad allergy days this year. Like the time in August I decided it was a good idea to wash all the plush toys at one time, when they hadn’t been washed for ages. Oops! So much dust was overwhelming!

I think that other…[Read more]

It’s night here, but probably morning for someone here! I had a great day, and the morning included kids’ church (videos from a South Florida church we enjoy) and then getting out in the chilly fresh air for exercise.

I’m looking forward to reading with my guys tomorrow morning and getting a letter ready to send in the mail. Also hoping to get a…[Read more]

Thanks for the recommendation and review! 5 stars (out of 5)? (My guys need to rate books when we update their GoodReads accounts, so now I think in terms of ratings…)

I get to relearn math as my kids take it! I’m trying to make it practical or just fun, like giving an equation with porgs in it since they love Star Wars…

We like the Sir Cumference stories and we’re also trying Danica McKellar’s books. So far, stories are the best for making it all memorable, so I’d try creating a story for that multiplication…[Read more]

Greetings from Canada! Nice to have you here. ☺️

We just have dry skin here in my household, so moisrurising is important. The middle guy can’t handle the feel of lotion, but ointment doesn’t bother him as much, so that’s what we’re using lately. I feel like I should have thought of it earlier because I need the ointment in winter because regular lotion application isn’t enough. Had the tube of…[Read more]

Hugs for you on the 31st, Cassandra!
