Good morning! I am sitting on the porch, finishing my coffee, listening to the rain, and thinking about my day. While this past week has not been technically busy, it has been filled with various people being here for one reason or another. On Monday, our awesome friend/handyman, Mike, came to install a sound bar and fix a few things. He is one of the first people we met here, and we have become friends with both him and his wife. Yesterday we had some people in to measure for some blinds we are putting on a few windows that face the afternoon sun. And also yesterday, the men came to service our air conditioner, replace the filters, and check all the things they check that are a complete mystery to me. In addition, Flynn worked two days, and so we worked on school after and are one week away from officially completing the year. Today we have no plans, no appointments. It will be an ordinary day: school, laundry, dinner. My favorite.
My morning walks this week. Muggy. Humid and beautiful.
...I love seeing, hearing, and studying all different types of birds, while at the same time I am completely terrified of them, all while The Birds is one of my favorite movies ever?
...I can still twirl the baton I had in high school and even remember some routines I learned as a majorette, yet I forget where I put my phone at least 3 times a day?
...I have never tried driving a stick-shift car? As in never even been close to attempting it. I just don't think it would go very well.
...I have no middle name? My name is Billie Jo. Not Billie_ Jo. And it has sometimes been a challenge to convince people that Jo is, in fact, not a middle name, nor is J a middle initial. Remember those tests in school where you had to fill in the bubbles for the answer, but first you had to write your name in those spaces? That was more stressful than the test!
