The Menu

Some days Shelby wants to eat his food. Some days he does not. He has to be coaxed. One day cheese will do it. One day chicken. One day hamburger. It only takes a tiny amount of these foods but the choice is his. Today I tried cheese. No. Then chicken. No. Then hamburger. Yes! I feel like a short order cook, but I love him.

All's Well

My lecture went very well last night. The demographics of the audience was not what I was expecting as the minimum age was about 75 years old. My topic was communication, focusing on texting. These women do not text, but I turned the lecture around to have the point of view about how they feel other people's texting is rude. They were interactive and enjoyed themselves. After I spoke, they all gathered around me to continue the evening. I had a wonderful time and met some really nice women.

Lecture

This evening I will be doing something a bit different. I will be the guest speaker at a Hadassah meeting. I am told there will be somewhere between 60 to 100 people. Eek! I usually do classes and workshops that have 20 attendees. I do not have stage fright but I feel a bit nervous. I have to talk for a half hour. Even though it is not a long time, when you are the only one speaking to a captive audience, it can seem long. I have memorized my speech because I do not want to look at cue cards. I want it to seem like it is a natural conversation. The topic is "Effective Communication".

Raring To Go

I woke up this morning to beautiful sunshine streaming through my bedroom window. Instantly I felt awake and energized. I jumped out of bed, got dressed and am ready for the day. I have nothing planned but I am sure something will pop up. Even if it is a walk around the neighborhood with my sister. Some days it just doesn't matter what you do, as long as you are out.

Beautiful Day

It is the most beautiful day today. Cool, crisp, clear and sunny. I had so many plans for the day, but my car sensor went off last night and it is in the shop. Now I have to figure out what I can do within walking distance. The supermarket around the corner closed so I can't go there for the few items I need. I will probably walk to the dollar store. I can always find something there.

Marathon

I am having a babysitting marathon. I watched my grandson yesterday afternoon for one hour. I then watched him at night for 4 hours. I went home and slept and got up early this morning so I can return to his house. Due to a change in my son's work schedule today, I will be watching the baby from 7am to 3pm. He is now sitting and crawling so it makes watching him more interesting. He is a real charmer.

The Chairs

We bought new chairs in work. We used to have one big chair and one small chair. We decided to get 2 large ones. I think they are too big. Every time someone needs to go to their mailbox, they crash into me. For some reason, no one can navigate the chair. It is big and comfy and when I sit in it I start to fall asleep. When I get up to get out of it, it glides across the floor. When this one wears out, I will go back to a small one.
