I wrote this short poem for the scooters…
Scooters all down,
Lying on the ground.
The wind is so strong!
The day is so long.
So, instead of a ride,
We’ll all stay inside!
Scooters all down
Cooking cooperation
Windy, wet and cold weather calls for gut-warming homemade food!
Hubby cooked a big batch of vegetarian chili with many healthy ingredients, and I used the cast iron skillet to bake a big round cornbread. Delicious! 😋
Rotten expectations
I woke up in the middle of the night to the sounds of rain falling hard on the roof and loud winds howling.
Today it feels like 26 degrees out (-5 degrees Celsius.)
The strange thing is that 2 months ago if the weather was in the low 20’s I would be delighted.
So I will go for a 10 minute walk to drop off a couple of books to the Little Free Library instead of staying indoors all day feeling sorry myself.
A good walk
Everyday I try and get in a good walk.
I am so happy the weather has warmed up here in Southern Minnesota.
Some springtime delights include kite-flying. I ordered a beach kite. I am excited to show you it when it arrives and we take it out.
Talk to you soon!
Homemade happiness
So yesterday after work I came home ravenous as usual. Nobody feels like cooking after they get home hungry. It was such a joy to come home to what my husband made for me: tofu vegetables stir fry on a bed of Japanese noodles with a delicious peanut sauce made by my own “personal chef,” James!
My job
I am a radio dj
I am working today at the radio station 🚉
You can hear my show here
I’ve been in radio since 1993. It’s a job match made in heaven.
I have the gift of gab and my degree is in music!
My Weekly Program
Each Sunday afternoon at 4:08pm Central Daylight time I do a live program on KNUJ radio from my station in Southern Minnesota.
You can also stream it on the Internet at knuj.net.
Here is last week’s show.
April 1st
I got up at 6 o’clock this morning.
I planned my day the night before.
I did my gratitude journal and my daily mindset.
I took a shower after breakfast. Now I should focus on the housework.
I have a meeting at noon at work.
It is a new month.
There is a lot to do.
But the wind is calm. That means it’s time now to play some outdoor table tennis for some morning exercise!
I like outdoors.
That is my social media. I cleaned the bird bath and I filled the bird feeder last night.
Gather ye rose buds while ye may, and carpe diem!
Life is a Journey
I am working on managing my time. The problem with overwhelm is one I have been trying to tackle for years. The problem I have is trying to get a lot of work done, and feeling stressed out with it all.
So I have been trying to take smaller steps in shorter amounts of time. It’s hard to digest how many areas of my life demand my time and attention.
Life is a journey. Take it one step at a time.
Spring break
We are having some very cold weather here. It really stresses me out. It’s very much like Winter today instead of Spring. I like to get outside, but when the weather is windy and cold I tend to feel sorry for myself. So last night after work I had my husband James take me out to a local restaurant for an Impossible burger. No supper dishes to deal with this morning and a little less stress.
