I’m totally digging our new work hours. True, we have two less hours per week, but we actually have two consecutive days off, Friday and Saturday, and it’s nice to have a “week-end”.
I went to two libraries, the bank, and then off to lunch. I had the most scrumptious Chili & Cheese Omelet (with extra cheese of course!) at Kerby’s Coney Island today. I asked for my hash browns to be extra crisp (and they were perfect) and on each half of my white buttered toast I tried a different jelly. To drink I had orange soda (a deliciously strange combination!)
After eating I went to CVS for some new hair supplies, then visited dad who is still in Heartland. The glint in his eye that seemed like he sorta kinda remembered me is gone and now he thinks I’m just another therapist that comes into the room. I think he gets quite relieved when he sees me pull up a chair to sit by him and just chill out, rather than push and pull on his arms and legs. He sleeps a lot. He does look good, considering his condition. His dentures are still out though and it is difficult to understand what he is saying. At one point however, while his eyes were shut, I asked him how his legs are feeling. He didn’t respond until a few seconds had passed, and then he clearly said “I don’t know what you are talking about.” It’s the first absolutely clear statement I’ve heard him say for weeks. A short moment later he opened his eyes and didn’t know what just occurred.
Beautiful full Wolf Moon tonight, the perfect night to go outside and howl

The Simple Woman's Daybook ~ December 28, 2009
FOR TODAY... Monday, December 28, 2009
Outside my window... Snow has been drifting from the clouds all morning –so pretty!
I am thinking... I’d like to go see “Up In The Air” today
I am thankful for... Having a very sweet and relaxing Christmas this year
From the learning rooms... School’s are in the middle of two week vacations, I hope the kids are having a blast!
I am wearing... Jeans, beige shirt, white socks, no shoes. I never wear my shoes in the house!
I am remembering... how much the beginning of a new year excites me!
I am hearing... A plane flying over the house, and hoping they are safe! A plane flew into our DTW last week with a bomb, and there was another bomb scare since then!
I am going... to take next Sunday off! So I’ll have two days off, work Saturday, then have two more days off –Cool!
I am creating... a desire to learn how to crochet like my mom use to, but I know me too well –once I start something I hardly ever finish
I am currently reading... More poetry than I have in the past couple years, and putting many favorites in my “Beautiful Phrase” blog
I am hoping... 2010 will be prosperous, happy, and full of amazing adventures!
On my mind... My “101 Things In 1,001 Days” list –I hope it’s manageable!
Noticing that... Although I did not put up a Christmas tree and lights, the cards I received in the mail were perfect decorations by themselves
Pondering these words... “Should old acquaintance be forgot, and never brought to mind? Should old acquaintance be forgot, and old lang syne?”
From the kitchen... I have two cookie batches I want to make! I was so tired Christmas Eve I decided to fall asleep instead of bake them!
Around the house... I have much I plan to clean out next year
A few plans for the rest of the week…. Work, shovel, celebrate the new year
One of my favorite things… A brand new year! Have a happy one!
