Entries

The Pizza Mart is sad that I’ve moved away.

Submitted entry: The weather here can’t seem to make up it’s mind - during the day today it was nearly 80 while it was near 40 at night. So we wear a whole spectrum of clothes - we’ll start the day in sweatpants and sweatshirt - maybe even wool socks be in shorts and t-shirt in the afternoon and be back in sweats by bedtime. Sage, Kitey and Paul were away for the day so I had the first leisurely day in weeks. It was so restful. After I saw them off I replied to my email, did the dishes and made some pancakes for myself. The rest of the day was spent drinking coffee and reading though I did get a short walk in in the mid-afternoon.

The AlphaSmart continues to change our lives…One of the features that they didn’t really advertise on their site is included in an option called the “get utilities” which allows you to send whatever’s in the clipboard back to the AlphaSmart The result is that Sage can now send all my email to the AlphaSmart and I can read it instead of her wasting paper and time printing it all out. It really is a good thing - I’m able to write so much more, and even keep up somewhat with my email - what a deal!

Of course, there is a drawback to my keeping up with journal entries - the entries get shorter as I have less to talk about between entries!

Tomorrow we’re off to town - it seems like we’re out of all the staples - beans, spices, butter, peppers, tomatoes. It’s such a change for us from our life in Bethlehem. Before, we would go grocery shopping, buy a bunch of stuff then eat the majority of our meals out (or takeout). This made our grocery shopping objective more of a change the rotted food in the fridge instead of replacing the eaten food. I can’t believe we were so bad. I think we’re spending less on everything every month than we spent on dining out - and I’m not even including my eating lunch out - that usually was about $5/day. Boy, I bet the Pizza Mart in Allentown is sad I’ve moved away. Hopefully my replacement is a four slice a day man.

That’s about all that’s new for now. I’m a bit sleepy despite the time. I narrowly avoided a migraine (I get a visual aura of flashing lights and dimming vision - if I take Tylenol before it gets bad I’m okay) but whether I get a headache or not it seems to drain me and I’m not only tired but hungry and thirsty after. So until tomorrow… (hopefully - I think I might be making a record number of consecutive entries).

There’s no ignoring Habanero.

Blustery and looking like rain (!)
