Tuesday

Another day. I was up at 5 and ran this morning. It rained last night briefly but the only evidence was a few puddles here and there. The semester is in full swing as the students returning home at 6 AM were plentiful. It’s not the same as in the summer when I have the roads entirely to myself.

It deserves it’s own post, eventually, but I wanted to say that my oldest son has been living with me for a week. He is staying indefinitely. So far I have been pleasantly surprised at how well we have managed in my one bedroom space. I don’t want to say more for fear that I will somehow jinx things.

Here is a quote. I don’t quite know how it applies to me, I think it depends on the day:

Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one’s courage.

~ Anais Nin

As for me, I’m going to try, again, to make the best of today. I’m still breathing, and that’s a great thing.

Monday

Saw this quote in an email:

The future comes one day at a time.

– Dean Acheson

It’s common sense but so easy to forget. Today is another new day. Let’s see what I can do with it.

sharing is caring

I was at the grocery store recently and happened to purchase a pineapple.

At the checkout line, the girl at the register asks “Is it really cheaper to buy a whole pineapple instead of the one’s that are already cut up?”

For reference, sliced whole pineapple (in a nice little plastic tub) was $7.00 at this store; a whole pineapple (free range version) was on sale for $2.98.

I told her yes, it was a lot cheaper.

“Is it hard to cut up?”

She was being serious, so I explained how to cut up a pineapple. I guess I could have just said google it but that didn’t seem like a very nice way to reply. I also resisted any reference to Sponge Bob.
