Distraction
I must be pretty distracted this morning. I washed my hair in the shower and decided to use a drop of conditioner, which I don't do very often. It is made from hemp and I love the way it makes my hair glisten. But this morning I rubbed the drop of conditioner between my hands and started smearing it over my face! I realized what I was doing and managed to get some of it on my hair, but then I'm thinking - "If I got stopped and given a drug test this morning I wonder if I would pass."My face feels smoothe and hydrated, and if it stays this way all day I might start using it regularly. I used my Melita coffee system this morning and it wasn't too much of a bother. I have an electric kettle that heats the water very fast, and while the water was seeping through the grounds I heated more water to fill the thermos so it would warm up. When I dumped the water out of the thermos I poured the extra coffee into it and I'm now having my second big mug of wonderful coffee. I think this will work much better than the huge Mr.C machine, so I will return that to Costco. I'll still have my old Mr.C in case I feel the need to use it. Clean-up is surely a breeze - just rinse or wash the glass decanter, lid, and the filter cone.My granddaughter Autumn will be 9 years old this weekend, and her birthday party is being held at a roller skating rink. You may remember that I survived a couple of turns round the rink on grandson Justin's birthday a couple of years ago. Do I dare try it again? I'm off to the gym, the chiropractor, the post office, and maybe even Costco.

Not Feeling Well
I have done very little today except go to the post office and mail a package. I woke up early feeling very queasy. I sipped a bit of water and was in and out of bed - standing in the hallway by the bathroom, taking deep breaths, and trying...

Starting Over
As suggested, I decided to give the coffee maker another try in case it just had to get rid of the "brand new" taste. So this morning I brewed in the new Mr. C. The result was pretty good, so I suppose I'll keep it, but I'm putting...

Today Is A Little Better
I woke up several times during the night worrying that I was going to have to buy a new water heater, as the water never warmed up yesterday. I still think something is wrong because it's only a 30 gallon tank and shouldn't take that long. ...

Roller Derby!
On Sunday I attended another birthday party for Justin, this one for his school friends. We all met at a roller rink in Hyde Park, and the kids skated along with any adults who wanted to try it. Adults could walk along with their kids who...

Conserving Water
I keep hearing that to conserve water one should limit their showers to 5 minutes. I had no idea how long I take, so I brought my kitchen timer along with me and set it to 5 minutes. I even washed my hair - something I do about every other...
