I decided to write during my lunch break, even though I don’t have much to write about. I’ve been pondering what to write today, but nothing has come to mind. My morning didn’t go well – I had trouble with the Keurig and forgot to pack Tommy’s lunch. I put extra water in the Keurig,…
Nostalgia
Nostalgia often catches us off guard. Today, Karissa had her doctor’s appointment to check her thyroid levels, and everything looks good, which is excellent news. During the appointment, the doctor detected a heart murmur while listening to her heart. After discussing her heart history, the doctor requested to review her medical record related to her…
When life gives you Monday, dip it in glitter and sparkle all day
During my vacation, it seems that much of my progress on the Odin Project site, where I learned to code, was not recorded. As a result, I find myself having to redo the calculator project. I’m working on the HTML. Although I could quickly provide my GitHub address to showcase the work I had already…
Book list
Ok, I have my TBR list for fall books. I won’t read all these books this season, but I will have my list of books to be read. Here are a few autumn book recommendations that capture the cozy, atmospheric vibes of the season: “A Discovery of Witches” by Deborah Harkness “Practical Magic” by Alice…
Autumn
The temperature is starting to drop here, signaling the arrival of Autumn. I love Autumn’s quiet transformation—how the world slows down and shifts into warm, earthy tones. There’s a peacefulness in the crisp air, the smell of fallen leaves, and the early dusk that feels comforting and introspective. The cozy layers, hot drinks, and the…
Going through the motions
It’s important to remember that when there is a loss, the impact ripples far beyond the immediate family, affecting friends, coworkers, and others who had connections with the person. While it’s natural to focus on the family, acknowledging that others share in the grief, sometimes silently, is essential. Last night, my girl’s reaction when she…
Home
I did start writing on Thursday and Friday, but I never finished. So I will start on Thursday here: Thursday, Day 16 Vancouver… I’m feeling better today, although my energy level is still low. We kicked off the morning with breakfast at the hotel. I opted for a simple banana and egg breakfast since I…
Day 15 Vancouver
The disembarkation process was efficient and well-organized. I woke up at 7 am and prepared for the day. We had placed our bags outside our room the previous night, so we were already packed, carrying only a few small bags and backpacks. We enjoyed a delicious breakfast in the main dining room at 8 am,…
Day 14 At Sea
Our final day of the cruise. Besides getting sick, it has been genuinely remarkable. Cruising to Alaska has been an exceptional adventure, offering a perfect blend of awe-inspiring natural beauty and the luxury of life onboard. Picture gliding through serene icy waters surrounded by magnificent glaciers, towering mountains, and abundant wildlife. One of the most…
Day 13 Ketchikan
I’ve been experiencing fluctuations in my well-being, with moments of feeling good followed by periods of not feeling great. Although I’m not fully recovered, I’m making progress. Currently, I’m taking it easy and relaxing in the room. Tommy had left to visit the totem pole park, but I didn’t join him. I’m eagerly looking forward…
