Hair length quandary and Instagram

Okay, successfully deleted my "extra" Instagram account. It was [:( my first] not the most successful - my trial and error one. My second has lots of photos, a few videos, and seems to be more "me." 

Heading to the gym for the daily elliptical workout. I just need to tell my brain to switch out my eating habits for "less" not more. Brain training begins today!  I posted a pic of Anne Lamott's "Thoughts" photo taken from Real Simple magazine the August 2015 issue. The quote "Almost everything will work again fi you unplug it for a few minutes, including you." Good to know and practice.

Finishing up teaching my online Etymology class with the final exam July 23rd at Roncalli. Good kids and I am enjoying interacting with them.

Big decision today: let my uber short hair style go and work on a medium hair style. I like my stylist [we should all have one people]....and turning my vision over to her. 

The short summer "do"

Game of Thrones - Obsession

My current obsession - I will always be reading - is Game of Thrones. I read the first book and immersed currently in Clash of Kings. Listening to an interview with a recent winner of a prestigious book award, I appreciated her statement that the best preparation to be a writer is to read. In an altogether different experience, I also love the House of Oak series. Just downloaded the third in this series and look forward to immersing my self in the romantic time travel experience yet again.

Off to have Fr Press coffee and steel cut oatmeal. Mmmm. Hoping to only do 2-3 things today....

Foray into the New Age of Retirement

Foray - let's suppose a new direction not necessarily the idea of a raid for purposes of plunder - So much to think about. David and I have multiple trips planned only the more recent will I disclose at this time. Having returned from Boston and the NOHO area of New Hampshire, we will leave next for Mesa, AZ, and attend our daughter-in-law's OT Masters degree graduation. Of course we plan to visit old friends [in both senses of the word "old" - yet none seem old to me] with dinners out, birthday celebrations, and Elissa's graduation. 

Then like "right now" Elissa and Zach head off to their adventure in Kent, WA. More on that later.
