Autumn & Jerry

Now that school is back in full swing, I find myself daydreaming of my recent week of freedom. The pool is always so serene and inviting, especially during this extra hot summer we’ve been enduring. Bliss.

Due to work, I’ve missed the past few family gatherings held at my aunt & uncle’s awesome lake house, so I decided weeks ago that I wanted to venture north for a lazy lake day of my own, first chance I got. That chance came this week, with my freedom from both work and school. [...]

I kicked off my vacation week with a Pinetoppers game at the historic Luther Williams field, and we beat the Warner Robins Aviators 7-2! I couldn’t have asked for better weather – though there was a rain delay (note the menacing clouds still lingering), the heat seemed to take the night off and leave us [...]

all two weeks of it! Yes, summer semester is over as of tonight’s Biology final (whoo!) and yes, it nearly ran right into fall semester. However, I plan to squeeze plenty of relaxation & pool time into the few days I have. Best of all, I am taking a week off work to enjoy my [...]

Lots to catch up on…new posts coming soon. Should be a bit more regular, now that I am OUT OF SCHOOL for a month! Wheee! I even have a week off work coming up soon that will be properly celebrated with some beach time. Freedom is sweet. : – )

Yesterday held a wonderful little surprise for me. I got home from work a little late that morning, and had some reading to catch up on before bed, so my sleep was short. There was rain in the forecast, set to start just about the time I’d be out & about for my afternoon World [...]

As finals week creeps up on me, and my work schedule does not play nice, I am scrambling to complete all the assignments that the end of semester presents. Two papers, done. Three finals and one presentation to go, and then I am a free woman! Wheee! This semester marked my return to college, and [...]

After about 4 days of a sharp pain in my right heel, aggravated with nearly every step, I got it checked out at work last night (just one of the great perks of the ortho floor! lol) and yep…it’s plantar fasciitis. Boo. Often caused by an increase in physical activity, especially running…check. Standing and walking [...]

While I see a lot of sadness at work, I am a very fortunate person otherwise to have lost a fairly small number of people that were truly close to my core. I lost my grandfather when I was still a bit too young to really understand what was going on. Losing my cousin, Kraig, [...]

This is why I didn’t get anything accomplished last weekend when it came to being productive with schoolwork. As you can clearly see, the sun was out and the flowers were in full bloom. It was warm but not hot. The sky was clear & blue.  The Cherry Blossom Festival was in full swing. It [...]
