older, but wiser

I just can hardly believe how tired I am after work. It is not a physically demanding job. There are only a few students in each day, so it's not busy at all yet. Yet, I'm so exhausted when I get home that I'm crawling into bed after supper. I still think that's better than staying up and eating everything in sight, which I tried, but doesn't work well for me!! I feel like I'm back on track with eating and am taking supplies of food to work a little at a time in my new backpack...purple plaid Roots for $20 from Costco! Older maybe, but definitely at least a little wiser.

My bike riding is going very well. I'm not too uncomfortable and have accepted that I need to deal with the traffic that exists on my preferred route. I took the back streets one day to see if it was doable, and while it was, I quickly decided the extra hill factor was not worth it. Yup, older, but at least a little wiser.

Does anyone have experience with helmet mirrors?? I'm looking for more new equipment!

I came home today to see the gaping hole in my bathroom covered with a beautiful, custom built, pine door, that doesn't impede my access to the hole and the stuff stored therein.  I couldn't find anything about that that might indicate any additional wisdom, but that doesn't change how fantastic it is!! Thanks Pete!

Due to the ongoing renovations, I have had a lot of "clear" bag garbage, that only gets picked up every 2 weeks. Yesterday when I got home from work, I realized that at least 3 bags and my outside can were just crawling with maggots! I double bagged them and asked if I could get rid of them in the dumpster at Jason and Anne's. Jason picked them up and took them away for me, telling me it was a good thing he loved me, cause he wouldn't do this for anyone else. I thanked him profusely and realized that what he said is so true. We really can do a lot of things willingly when we really love someone. Thanks Jay!! Yup, at least a little wiser.

That's enough wisdom for today. I don't want to use it all up in one day!!

Love, elly
