Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

That was a pleasantly rolly one.

Thanks y'all.

We are on the home stretch - should be pulling into home in about 2 hours. It has been a long wonderful vacation. And I have the weekend to "recover" (and contemplate the remaining unpacking to be done). Oh and I have a massage on Sunday!! Then real life starts again.

Consuela, I visited the Clairmont Spa once many years ago and it was the most luxurious spa experience I've ever had. Very pleasant memories.

Loki the Obnoxious managed to clear everything off the bedroom table, including the alarm clock. Then he started trying to knock/dig me out of bed. And at some point, shredded a roll of paper towels I stupidly left out. All before 6:30 am.

Pumpkin even got tired of his antics disturbing her sleep and left the bed to go sleep in the chair.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

OMG, I slept terribly, and now (related) think I have to go into the office. I considered bringing my computer home last night, but I was going to dinner with a friend and decided not to. And I think it's really not worth doing stuff here with no Office. So the dentist and work, that's an exciting Saturday.

I'm going to be varnishing. And varnishing. And staining (deck set.)

After market and errands. Looks like the rain is pushing out, so I'll walk to market.

msbelle, I like Khan Academy for me as a refresher (like, when I have totally forgotten how to do something.) I haven't used the self-paced study features. I would be interested to hear how it goes. I find the guy really mellow and nice-sounding, which is good.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

I'll second what flea says about Khan academy. I've been using it to re-learn some things about statistics that I'd nearly forgotten.

Also, one thing I appreciate is that the word problems on there are clearly written with a diverse audience in mind.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Ah, I slept really well last night,which is good because I'm going to run a 5k in a couple of hours. It'll be my first time running with neither zombies nor dog in a while, that'll be strange.

But first, food and allergy meds.
