| Sunday June 23, 2024 8:45 pm WdC time  Have fun with these words: athletes, yellow, smart, ginger, spinach, work, schedule, and dynasty. The athletes were lined up on either side of the field. They were introduced to the fans overflowing from bleachers built for fewer attendees. Adele, dressed in a yellow shirt and orange shorts, the school colors, stood up looking for her husband Dan who left work early to attend the game. The football dynasty they enjoyed watching win all season at their alma mater, Greenville University, was long gone. Thanksgiving was a week away. Adele and Dan drove home from the game, each in their own car. Adele's mind was on the holiday meal. She knew spinach was not a home fan favorite. Her green bean casserole would meet the green vegetable requirement. The fifth grader's schedule called for a half day next Wednesday. She did not like to postpone her holiday meal shopping so close to Thursday, she thought as she drove into their driveway. Tomorrow would be ideal. She walked into the kitchen, sat down with her phone, and programmed her list of items she needed. First was ginger she needed for the pumpkin pies. She had the cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg. "Do we have everything for Thursday?" Dan asked walking to the refrigerator. . "Almost, Adele replied. "I ran into Bill Barnes and Lois at the beer concession. They invited us to spend the day with them. Remember what a riot they were to be around?" he asked. Adele rolled her eyes. "C'mon Dan. I know you hate my cooking, but getting us invited to eat Turkey Day's meal and watch football on who knows what kind of television does not excite me. Did you tell them no?" "Yup. I was firm about it too. I think whatever you cook tastes okay." He walked up behind her giving her a giant hug. "You're my person," he said. "And I am yours, Danny." She dove in for his kiss and laughed merrily. For at least the tenth time that day, she felt the joy of being with her person. She was smart to select him a dozen years ago. Life was good. |
| Thursday June 19, 2024 5:10 pm WdC time Prompt: What is your night time ritual like? Has it evolved with you over time? When you get to be my age, rituals are broken down by several decades combined as one. Growing up had strict schedule. Bath, teeth, bed by 8pm. When I was in high school bedtime moved to 9pm. I was a wannabe morning person. College: Shower, teeth, and bed by whenever. Moving toward night person. Kids: Quick shower, swipe them teeth, up at 4:30 am, worked 5 am to 1:30 pm, left work to pick kids up from school take them to different practice fields for sports, soccer and baseball/softball, supper mostly pizza, collapsed in bed by 9:00pm.The kids had a bedtime of 7 pm until they were in middle school. Kids married and gone: Sleep until almost noon. Long, long hot showers, brushed and flossed those teeth, and to work by 3pm. Totally a night person. Did not see the sunrise, except maybe when I was sick or the cat woke me up early, for years. Skip to being a VOP (Very Old Person). Up most days before noon, shower optional, day spent doing what I feel like doing along with daily chores, nighttime is the best when the rest of the house is asleep. Usually fit in a shower, pampering, and writing/reviewing/emailing. Around 2 to 3 am I am working an online jigsaw puzzle and playing a few rounds of mahjongg and words with friends to wind down. This morning I went to sleep at 3 and the dog woke me to go out at 4:57 am. Up for a minute or ten then slept until 11ish. I am just now hitting my stride. The family is out so my tunes are blaring while I will not start work on math homework. Aren't you glad you posed the question? |
| Tuesday June 18, 2024 2:40 am WdC time Out of 1,000 possible points, I earned 1,000 points in my Survey of Alternate Medicine class. My GPA is still not at my goal 3.5. It is 3.48. Math starts today. Ugh. 3:50 pm I am focusing on my Quantitative Methods math class. Some things here will have to slide. |
| Saturday June 15, 2024 1:00 pm WdC time I have 2 contest entries to write. I may write something with each prompt, but probably not. I need a break. |
| Friday June 14, 2024 12:25 pm WdC time Today I have high hopes to meet all of my habit hero goals. I have been slacking off. I am anxiously awaiting my grade for my latest class called Survey of Alternate Medicine. Fulfills my science requirement for my degree. The grade will be in by the end of the day today. I will get a notification when it is posted. Then, my friends, 2 more classes/10 weeks I get my bachelor's degree. Yippee!! My granddaughter's home was not damaged by the wildfire, which is finally getting some containment. Today it is 20% contained. That is all for now! tracker UPDATE 10:20 pm WdC time I am getting so much done that I believe I will hit every goal today. I need to make them all accomplished every day. |
| Thursday June 13, 2024 9:30 pm WdC time Yesterday, around 5 pm, a wildfire started near a state highway. It quickly spread and by six o'clock by granddaughter and her husband had to evacuate their home. They were not allowed back until 3:00 pm today. Six homes burned to the ground. Theirs had no damage. They live about 45 mins from me. It was frightening. |
| Sunday June 9, 2024 10:40 am Today will be finish your essays for school day. I may be MIA often starting Tues. I will be filling my math requirements for my bachelor's degree. I am dreading the class in Qualitative Methods. I attempted to get the math done through Sophia, an online accredited school providing numerous basic classes such as algebra. I could not muster a 70 percent average. I do not understand much beyond basic math. I am going in with an open mind. Today I will also be purging. When I get in that frame of mind, no file is safe. The focus will be email which has become sixty percent full. I misplaced my TV remote 3 days ago. It has a screen saver which has been showing me a great slide show. I do want to watch my Sunday morning show, "Sunday Morning." That is all. |
| Saturday June 8, 2024 2:45 am WdC time Entry #2 today!! Happy 50th Birthday to my son.  Use these words in your entry: bathtub, fill, customer, dictate, axis, essay, and dribble. Valerie woke up late. She thought she hit the SNOOZE button but hit OFF instead. She rubbed her eyes, walked to the bathroom, and turned the faucet on setting it on high and hot in her bathtub. She dreaded going to the office today. She had to conduct a meeting with a customer at 10 o'clock. It was a little after 9. She rushed to get dressed. Today's meeting would dictate she would be dressed in a business suit. Luckily, she had picked up her suits at the dry cleaners earlier in the week. After the meeting, she sat on her large leather office chair, arranged her notes, and prepared an essay, detailing the top three concerns. She copied Stuart knowing he would use that as an excuse to call her into his office to discuss last night. On their date, she had her fill of Stuart. She listened to his dribble through dinner, which continued at the movie. theatre. She was embarrassed as people were whispering while pointing toward him. She ended it with him tonight She was as sure about her decision as the earth turns on its axis. |
| Saturday June 8, 2024 1:13 am WdC time Happy 50th birthday to my son! “Summer afternoon... summer afternoon; to me those have always been the two most beautiful words in the English language.” - Henry James Warm, but not too warm Summer afternoons Gentle breeze Staring up to the sky. Cumulous clouds Large and puffy, Cats and countenances Identifiable for a while. Disappearing as quickly As they developed Before my eyes Many summer afternoons. |
