He’s doing great. Only one round of chemo to go! He’s handling it like a champ.

genealogy and using my writing skills to tell stories about the folks I find. Even found an idea for an article I will submit to a national newsletter for the national Vick family. Wonder if I can use that as a non-fiction writing on my resume?

That's a great idea. Is it part of the project we discussed?

Not part of either project. About how a Confederate widow struggled for 7 years after her husband died to get enough money for a bare existence. She supported an infirmed daughter during that time. Even the county pension examiners stepped up to help by writing to the state board on her behalf. I see her burning the furniture bit by bit!

I've made a calendar for my cleaning projects. Monday was the pantry, (I pitched stuff that died in 2017, I kid you not). Tuesday was the fridge inside and out. (The booze bottles on to of the fridge got a good cleaning inside and out too.) Today under the master bathroom sink. (Ye gads, the things I found lurking there. Who in their right mind home perms anymore???) Tomorrow I venture under the kitchen sink. (Tonight I swear I heard the sound of war drums seeping out between the sink doors. If you don't hear from me in a few days please send an armed search party.)

I'm going to try this bread recipe. My go-to bread recipe uses gluten, which I happen to be out of (and can't find anywhere right now). My son and I made yeast rolls last night so that we could have some bread for sandwiches. I don't think I will ever take being able to go to the grocery store (and have it be full of needed supplies) for granted again.

I had to go to Target yesterday. I was so happy to be able to buy TP and Flour. It occurred to me that I was happy to have anything--brand didn't matter and I couldn't be choosy. It's sort of refreshing not to constantly have decision fatigue or the urge to optimize every choice.
