Today = chores + appliance repair + web conference. And who knows what else?

Ben is in bed and asleep. Papa and Nana are exhausted. It's an overnight with the grandparents

Ahhh. Good coffee. A beautiful sunrise. Some happy birds singing. Cool temps. A great family. A few of the things I'm thankful for, God.

Beautiful, crisp morning should help us all feel better. That and the Advil I'm taking for my headache

This morning I'm thankful for the life I have and doing some planning for the future.

Pretty sure the financial storm is going to impact my life a lot more in the long run than #Ike has.

Good time to take note of how senior living facilities handled #Ike. Some were great, others horrible. Where do you want your parents?

Today I'll try to take a step out of crisis mode and begin finding a new normal. Still grieving loss of old normal, #Ike.

Glad to get to go to church this morning and reconnect with so many close friends!

Praying for Haiti. Just when you think things couldn't get worse, invest 93 is expected to dump more rain on them.
