I made chocolate chip cookies to send to Isaac at college. When I mailed them today at the post office, I asked them to label the box fragile.

They did.

I am tired of the rain. In light of the drought in California, we are thought to be pleased with the rain. Two weeks in a row is too much.

My thought.

I went by myself walking today once it was lighter outside. I was anxious about doing so again after my fall a month ago. I walked a shorter distance.

I was proud of myself for challenging my anxiety.

Many of my clients are concerned about their stress level. I find that their work environment contributes the most to this feeling. So many people feel overwhelmed or unhappy at work.

Change is not easy.

Erik invited me, as he usually does. He informed me there would be an added guest. Yep, Jules was going to fly in for the dinner.

My family is incredible.

After my fall and hospitalization, Erik informed me that he was staying with me the first night home and Carrie was coming from work so he could get a prescription I needed. I was not “allowed” to be alone.

The opinion of my incredibly caring kids.

OOPS

Tripped over a tree walking in the dark. Brain bleed, facial stitches. Hospital for 4 days. Face is now purple and yellow. Back to work.

Clients ask questions.

The pilot came on to tell us our destination, arrival time, and weather. He said, “I welcome the adorable, quiet children on this flight.” There were 23 kids.

I love the humor of Southwest Airlines.

Was in a fancy restaurant in Kona, Hawaii with Julie. Waiter advised we order the shrimp for a main course. Three apps first. Shrimp came with head and tail on. Jules would not eat it. I did, though not happily so. Jules ate apps.

Don’t listen to waiters.

I went to see the play Cinderella put on by the African-American Shakespeare Company. It was new to me to be a minority in the audience. I enjoyed being immersed in the culture.

I anticipate more opportunities.
