Something very rare happened today - I had a day off.  All. By. Myself.  And by very rare, I mean like never.  Ever.

If we were having coffee, I'd tell you that last week had at least 3 extra days in it.  It was a long one, but we had … Continue reading Weekend Coffee Share

Link to Coffee Shares Today's coffee share is an afternoon addition.  I just made myself a delicious cup of coffee.  So sit down, relax, and let's chat over some coffee.

Day 29 ~ March SOLSC This week was a doozy.  That's the first word that came to mind while thinking about the week.  A second word would be exhausting.  But now that I'm home, in my bed, writing on my laptop, I'm thinking about what brought me joy today. Every Friday we do "Free Write … Continue reading Finding the Joy at the end of a long week

Day 27 ~ March SOLSC I'm not really sure how it's only Wednesday.  It for sure feels like it should at least be Saturday tomorrow.  But, nope.  It will only be Thursday.  I'm just not sure I'm going to make it! My class has been a little out of sorts this week.  I mean, they're … Continue reading It’s only Wednesday…
